The insurance challenges are now making it more expensive and difficult for some utilities to attract the capital required to harden their grids
The grids they’ve been refusing to maintain or harden for decades, those grids? Given their past history, they wouldn’t be acting now unless there was pressure on them - they’d just be handing out another round of executive bonuses and stock dividends.
Why are you paraphrasing the article like this is your own personal analysis?
:woot: !! Every step closer to poverty is a victory!
Hunh. Now I’m wondering how many soldiers and security personnel have had loved ones kidnapped from the occupied areas.
That’s been a general movement away from rural America for decades (and people have been leaving the countryside to make their fortune in the big city for centuries). However, this line stood out to me because of the timeframe cited:
A whopping 81 percent of rural counties had more deaths than births between 2019 and 2023.
Maybe I’m just still bitter, but maybe they should have tried social distancing, wearing masks, and getting vaccinated.
Since it went off in your hands, have you tried googling the make and model to see if there are any similar complaints or even recalls for them?
Both Florida and Texas were, in the not-very-distant past, within reach of the Democrats and were slept turning bluer. The Republicans in both Florida and Texas know exactly what they’re doing: preserving those precious, precious electoral college votes for the Republicans. Anything else is a bonus, a distraction for the left, or both.
It already is. A bunch of red states states are denying climate change, forbidding consideration of climate change in zoning and development decisions, removing references from government documents, forbidding it from getting taught in school, etc.
This particular article is probably in reference to Florida recently passing a law saying that employers are not required to give outside workers rest or water breaks in the heat.
“I’ve already sold everything but my house,” Jones said on June 7. “I’m down to my last moves on this.”
Then dance harder, ugly monkey, dance harder.

I’m assuming both of you can connect to peers on other torrents, just not each other. Again, do you guys have DHT/PEX enabled? Did you accidentally create a private torrent?
Sounds like connectivity issues. Can you guys manually add the other’s IP address? Do you have DHT/PEX enabled?
She couldn’t get enough media attention!
Iirc, the original target was supposed to be something like 58 mpg; he’s lowered it. We’re fucking doomed, all of us, because a bunch of rich boomers don’t like change.
He put up Tesla stock to finance Xitter, so I’m guessing these effing ridiculous demands for salary and bonus are his attempt to backtrack out of that debt. He must be hurting behind the scenes. OhNoAnyway.jpg …
Price increases happen overnight, or with everything tracked and digitized, this could lead supermarkets to charge more money right when demand spikes or maybe in the future even target particular shoppers willing to pay more.
They’re going to take your frequent shopper card and figure out what your price point for different goods are. Then they’re going to take their tracking of your cellphone and figure out when you’re approaching your favorite goods, to raise the price. The technology for everything part of this already exists and is being used, it’s just a question of who links everything up first.
I agree this sounds like ADHD to me, but I’m curious and a bit concerned. You say you’re doing this to your work computer? Most places I’ve worked were committed to one flavor of operating system, so I’m a little curious about what you do [which is something you don’t have to answer, obs].
On the work side, however, this constant tinkering with your operating system has got to be affecting the amount of work you can get done. If this isn’t a job you care about, fair enough. If it is, I’d likely survey my coworkers and use whatever OS they’re using - at the very least, it increases the chances of confrere “tech support” when something goes wrong, plus the ability to share tools and methods.
If you’re not willing to dual boot, is there a chance you could set up a second PC, running one for each OS? You could get a KVM switch to swap between “instances” and save yourself this endless OS reinstallation process.
One of my friend’s life ambitions was to own a Jaguar, and he finally managed to buy a used one. He called his insurance agent to add the car to his policy. The agent was like, “Oh, a second car, a Jaguar, no problem. How many miles do you think you’ll be putting on it each year? Five thousand should be plenty, yeah?”
And my friend is like, "No! I’m fixing it up and driving it everywhere! I need lots of miles!. and the insurance agent is very quiet and then suggests starting with 5k miles and see how it goes. Whatever, my friend thinks, this guy just doesn’t understand the allure of the Jaguar!
He fixes it up, gets it running, here about three blocks from the house and it breaks down. Pushes it home, fixes it up again, gets about five blocks. This goes on for months.
Eventually, my friend changes his car insurance back to 5k per year, and acknowledges that he’ll never ever ever reach that much. It’s mostly a garage princess, not (entirely) out of a desire to keep the body fresh, but more because it constantly needs babying.
I’m not sure your dad’s Jaguar is any better.
