Seriously, I worked on a construction project in Charleston close to the Boeing plant that used some of the same contractors. More than one told me they won't fly after what they saw (and this was pre-scandal).

Good. So many shitty tags all over the place.

It's top down for same reason things are generally left to righ. In the days of ink and paper, you'd end up with a smeared mess - ask a lefty what a pain in the ass that is.

Less of an issue nowadays of course. Still the very idea is a bit nails on a chalkboard to me, but I'm old and wondering if it's a generational thing. Maybe you feel like this since many interfaces push text entry to the bottom?

I'm sorry you haven't experienced good Thanksgiving food.

Bullshit. Why try to cover for their inability to govern? It's gonna suck, but if these people keep getting elected it will continue to suck for a long time. I'm all for a schism splitting off the radical right.

It's their house, and it's going to be a shitshow, but people voted for this. Maybe it'll make the party implode, or at least a few reconsider it next time out of embarrassment.

You forgot the soda bottle.

I work in automation. We had one site in Florida that despite AC pumping all the time, had humidity issues. Electonics seemed to handle it ok, but paper was another story. This site would have to print information packs to get packaged up with the product, and it was a nightmare with the collating and folding automation, it just never wanted to work properly. The printers themselves would jam and have more issues than they should as well.

$100/hr for technical emergency contract work? Get the fuck outta here.

They're gonna get putzes and get hacked again.

Yeah, but where is that hydrogen coming from? Most is produced from natural gas, and even if electrolysis is used ("green hydrogen") it's vastly less efficient than just directly using the electricity - more than 2 to 1! (Overall system efficiency is 77% for EV vs 33% for H2)

They still need batteries (albeit smaller), and system weight is comparable to an EV.

H2 is also a complete pain to store and handle.

Except for things like trucks, I just don't see the use case.

I remember seeing $5/gal under Bush. His last year had an average of $3.30 and peaked over $4... https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/gasoline-prices-fared-under-last-190000869.html

These go on sale at Michael's all the time. I like using these for electronic components, very handy to keep little parts organized. Think they're a little tight for most cables, I like plastic shoe boxes for those.
