The entire US health care system is a scam run by doctors, hospitals, pharma, insurance companies. Prices for health care in the US are four to ten times that of the rest of the world. Other developed countries have universal care and better health indicators than the US and they spend less than half what the US spends to cover just part of the population. We have the most expensive, least effective health care in the world. No other civilized country would let pharma get away with these obscene prices for drugs. Other countries control prices. However, the US is run by a crony capitalist system where corporations, etc. buy congress to protect their profits.
I have often wondered why people on a Paleo diet don't eat more bugs. Insects of all kinds were a large part of the diet of true Paleos and even today, many cultures have bugs as part of their diet. They are high in protein and readily available. I'd like to see today's Paleos start eating this healthy diet rather than all of the industrially farmed meat.
Those pesky users and non-Apple companies trying to make our computers more useful are just a pain in the butt. Best to just keep sending Apple all of your money for official stuff that will work (most of the time).
I started using a Chromebook a few years ago thinking that it would be limited to these tasks. However, I've found that I don't use my MacBook any more... For anything. Seems the Chromebook meets all of my needs. When I first got it I set up Linux on it thinking that I could use that for any "heavy duty" tasks but I haven't needed it.
I wish they had a way to figure out that I had already bought something and stop spamming me with ads. I've been hounded by ads for months after buying something.
Studies have shown that removing signals, signs, crosswalks, etc. leads to much safer roads. People are more cautious. Rather than roaring through an intersection, they slow down, make eye contact and negotiate their way through the space. Also, check out traffic in Hanoi, Viet Nam and Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Yes, it's the stockholders who have lost. From a high near $200 in early Feb to $160 today, they've lost 20%... but only if they bought at the high and sold today. For most people, it's just paper losses (or smaller gains).
When you fly over the US, you see miles and miles of nice green farmland and everything looks fine. The problem is that that land has lost much of its topsoil and what is left has been poisoned with chemicals and the groundwater is depleted. From 30,000 feet it looks fine but when you look closely, not so good.
Well, if the land is no longer capable of supporting plants and animals, it is broken; it doesn't work; doesn't perform its desired function. Sometimes it can be fixed. Other times not so much.
According to EPA Methane (CH4) is estimated to have a GWP of 28â"36 over 100 years (Learn why EPA's U.S. Inventory of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks uses a different value.). CH4 emitted today lasts about a decade on average, which is much less time than CO2. But CH4 also absorbs much more energy than CO2. The net effect of the shorter lifetime and higher energy absorption is reflected in the GWP. The CH4 GWP also accounts for some indirect effects, such as the fact that CH4 is a precursor to ozone, and ozone is itself a GHG. https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissio...
All of the places I have charged are near shopping and restaurants. We usually schedule charging around meals. You can also just take a walk. When we travel, we usually spend the time looking around and learning about places. Charging en route is an opportunity to spend a short time somewhere. We usually charge overnight (destination charging at hotels, etc.) so drive until lunch and charge again. That's usually all we need for the days travel. Not sure what you have in mind.
Lots of charging everywhere. Check out Plug share.com I've been all over the Western US and Canada. There are a lot more electricity outlets than gas stations.
The car takes you anywhere you want to go and you never have to go to a gas station or get the oil changed or fix the thousands of parts in the engine and transmission.
Total cost of ownership of an EV over 5 years is less than an ICE car. Primarily because the fuel (electricity) is much cheaper (and getting cheaper each year due to wind and solar. Just like fossil fuel plants today are more expensive to run due to fuel cost than solar and wind (free "fuel"), ICE cars and trucks will be abandoned because of high cost.
The car only needs to go as far as you want to drive each day. For most people most of the time that's less than 50 miles. For the other times, there are rapid chargers. This is a non-issue.

PET is a hydrocarbon so you get H2O and CO2
I drove past this solar thermal plant today. Running well.

After repeated warning, it does stop the car.

Logitech has one for $49 for the iPad... also keyboard and case.

Good for the next few years but not for the next century.

What makes you think that you will be the one person saved when the earth goes flatline?

Yes, you're right. Nobody cares about fidelity at all anymore.
When you listen on headphones or cheap bluetooth speakers, there is no fidelity.

I feel sorry for you having to drive 900 miles a day. Have you considered taking an airplane? They're fast.
