If you just want to know when the clothes are dry, there's an easier way that keeps you in full control: put a ct clamp on the power cord. Doubles as energy monitoring. You can then block that crappy wifi spying system off altogether.

"We should restrict the free use of oxygen because terrorists can breath it to sustain themselves."

C'mon. Crypto has issues, but this ain't one of them. Pandering to people's fear is how fascist seize power for themselves and perpetuate the horrors we feared in the first place.

Tech was better in 2015. It's all corporate squeeze now.

Ditch Amazon and big tech. Consume less in general. Do more with what's on hand. Repair instead of replace.

Not everyone has the skills to do the above, so volunteering time to help others do this can help too.

Yes, there's that, but it's also just straight up gaslighting as a means to bully sovereign countries and further brainwash people into whatever reality the administration dictates. Next time, it'll be an executive order to have Greenland renamed, etc. The pen truely is mightier than the sword.

Controversial opinion time: no matter your stance on DEI, it was doomed from the start, because it's too easy to be perceived as unfair discrimination.

6, 7, 8, 9 is the golden age of the series. I have a favourite among those four, but let's leave it at that.

The electorate is the final check on power. The electorate failed their responsibility. The electorate now has to suffer the consequences of their actions.

Trump's power is not derived from a piece of paper. That was the Democrats mistake.

Trump's power comes directly from the people. In a democracy, ultimately the people get the last say.

The transactions are far from over. There are many more transactions to come. From as little as continuing to support Trump-freindly representatives, all the way up to not actively rebelling against his administration.

No one, either in comments, nor in article, actually touches on form factor. The fact is that sedans are only good for moving people, but there's better options for that: like cycling or train. The real benefit of an SUV's form factor (or pickup, or station wagon, or hatchback) is that you can move cargo with it, the kind of stuff that you can't move with efficient people movers.

Not all jobs are measured by time spent on the clock, so no it doesn't have to be that way. Many jobs can and should be measured by simply meeting productivity requirements. A parking attendants job is being present on shift because that is a requirement of that job. But a programmer's job is to create software that performs a certain way. There is no time requirement of the product there.

Just cause you suffered your way through it doesn't mean you should encourage others to do the same.
