Other countries have the rule of law and you can sue a developer. That’s not possible in China. I did read where disgruntled Chinese are withholding payments on these unfinished buildings. Not sure what the repercussions could be for those

Heck, modern natural gas power plants can achieve up to 60% efficiency, which is far higher than a internal combustion engines. So even if you are charging electric vehicles from it, it will still be far more efficient than an individual pe

I used to see Goats foraging on the hills in Laguna Beach at Aliso Canyon wilderness park back in the early 2000's. Seems like a good idea to reduce the fuel for fires. They were monitored and not allowed to over graze an area.

I have someone in Las Vegas who stole my identity and is using it for medical services. I get collection notices for these services sent to my house (I'm not near Las Vegas) and I have to dispute every one of them. I've had to fil

Well, in my situation my truck complained about a problem with the DEF fluid. The truck then proceeded to reduce my maximum speed in increments until thought the fluid was good. It turned out to be a faulty sensor.

I'm excited for their project to link suburban LA county with Las Vegas. Interstate 15, the highway that links to the two areas together gets routinely shut down due to accidents. Would be far nicer to hop on a train and relax for the

I totally agree that CEO pay is out of control for the most part, but I doubt the companies can really afford to give such a huge raise to thousands of employees. I think in the 1950's US, the average CEO's salary was "only&q

This is pretty cool. One of the more fun things in O Chem lab was using the IR Spec on liquids. Preparing solids for IR analysis was not fun.

Yikes. Hard to wrap my head around that many people being swept away. I can imagine that with the ongoing civil war, Dam maintenance is not a high priority.

It seems like lawmakers in Australia have too much time on their hands. It must be one of the smoothest functioning countries in the world.

If you can believe people on Reddit, multi monitor support on Nvidia GPUs is broken. I only run AMD so I don’t have that issue. A game mod I use for ET Legacy only runs under X.

Not really. I was watching a video about how someone like Elon Musk won’t take a salary from their company. Instead they get paid in stock. Using the stock as collateral they take out loans at low interest rates based on how well the banks

I assume he's a really talented developer, and IBM/Redhat assigned him to a more pressing task. It sucks for desktop Linux, but I can't really blame IBM/Redhat for assigning him to more pressing issues.

Yikes, I just checked, and Captain Morgan's is 35% Alcohol. I'm aware of Bacardi 151 (75.5% alcohol) which is like fire water to me. Can't imagine drinking something so concentrated regularly.

You can bet every state is looking at this method to tax EV and Plug-In Hybrid users. If there's not any pushback, they will want to have it for all vehicles.
