Yes, the definition of 'middle class' is somewhat arbitrary, but the percentile distibution curve of wealth is not.
There's always rich and poor, but it's the proportions.
If the top 1% rich people own 99% of the country, then there's rich and... serfs; and there's a 99% chance you're in the latter category.
While we're waiting for this to become widely available, there's always:

which also works via the vagus nerve!
My robot learned to work the saxophone
It played just how I feel
It drinks scotch whiskey all night long
And dies behind the wheel...
AC is great for long distance and certain applications. DC is great locally. The bridge rectifier should be between the grid & the home battery, not between the home battery and the devices it is recharging and/or powering.
The exception to this are high power home applications: Stove, Oven, Microwave, Toaster, Fridge, Dryer, Washing Machine, Dishwasher. The battery charger can be on the same circuit set.
Note that TV is NOT on this list. All video screens can be low power these days. All lighting can be low power. There is no reason why this can't be a simple 5V, 4A circuit with USB compatible plugs, several to a room.
There's a reason it's called the CAN-SPAM act.
It's because spammers CAN SPAM you with impunity.
And it's worth a repost here
-Women aren't in tech because the STEM world is misogynistic
-I'll bet you are a women's studies major
-Yes I am, what has that got to do with it?
-Why didn't you study STEM?
They are all listed as having flown Shenzhou missions
You might want to ask these people if China has a man-rated launcher.
The Groklaw archives have a good discussion of the original case heard by Judge Alsup.
Bzzzt!!! Thank you for playing. Here's your lovely parting gift.
Let's rephrase... as an outside observer sees you go faster you get compressed to THEM.
From your frame of reference, the outside world is going faster and is compressed, so the distance to the star that is 100 ly away gets compressed by the gamma coefficient.
Turns out that minimum-size black hole you'll need to destroy Earth is roughly the mass of Mt Everest.
This must be why evil mad scientists are always found underneath large volcanoes. Everything is clear to me now.
Well... that, and the unlimited geothermal power, and, of course, the availability of lava pools for unnecessarily slow dipping mechanisms!
You could do that on Unix System III with ADM-12 terminals as well.
They became Mandriva somewhere after the Mandrake 10.2 release. I think it was around 2005 or so. They started naming the releases by year around that point.
And yes, in 2001 it was Mandrake 8.1.

Back around 2000 or so, Mandrake was THE distro for newbies. It was a straighforward simple install, and it Just Worked(tm). My first distro that I was able to really get working was Mandrake 8.1
The funny thing about Mandrake distributions was they had their own "only use version 3 of MS whatever" rule. Basically, it was "Use the x.1 version. x.0 and x.2 suck."
They started going downhill with the Mandriva name, and when they ran into financial trouble, I - like many others - switched to Mageia.
Still a damned shame to see them go, though.
Today is a good day for information-gathering. Read someone else's mail file.
