I wish these reports would include required other costs, as solar needs to be paired with grid-scale storage or, more often, peaker natural gas plants. Both of which are pretty expensive.

It may still be cheaper, I honestly don't know, because all the reports leave such necessary, and expensive, things out.

And for Windows players, this means the game has root access to everything on your machine. I can't imagine desiring to give EA full control of your entire PC.

How dare old people be concerned about the environment! Make fun of them!

From what I can tell, Windows SE is the education version of Windows S-mode, which always sucked. Had a few run-ins with it on family computers and it was always a giant pain in the ass just to get basic programs running.

The fact that everything is so out in the open and the ‘president’ isn’t being removed is proof that American democracy is officially dead.

Encouraging youth fitness is hardly something to be upset about, and using a power he has to ... encourage youth fitness ... is certainly not something to remove the president from office over.

If it makes you feel better, thunderf00t just came out with a new video. :)

I haven't watched it yet, but it's on my short list!

Correct, and half of people pay below the average. You do not need to pay $700/mo for a car, many are available for much, much cheaper. If your finances can only swing $400/mo, buy a $400/mo or a $300/mo car.

You don’t need to spend $700/mo to get a car. Spending that much is a choice you are free to make, but still a choice in the end.

Yeah, lifestyle inflation is a a problem that so, so many people put themselves into.

They are living paycheck to paycheck, get that nice new job earning 3x as much. And instead of paying off their debt and getting into a very cosy financial space; they instantly start spending 3x as much money on stuff, and now they are suddenly living paycheck to paycheck again.

Lifestyle inflation.

People are really, really good at spending all their money, then living paycheck to paycheck with their BMW and too-many-sqft house payment.

 

While the U.S. and NATO allies are working to provide Ukraine with additional Patriot batteries, there aren't enough for everyone who ordered them.

 

According to an unnamed Israeli security official, speaking to Fox News, the success of the airstrikes that eliminated the IRGC Air Force leadership relied upon tricking those officials into gathering for a meeting, and then keeping them there.

“We did specific activities to help us understand things about them and then used that information to make them act in a specific way,” the security official said. “We knew this would make them meet, but more importantly, we knew how to keep them there.”
