It's not really, but it adds to the squeeze in the moment, as 50% momentary increased ingestion of specific component type by a large demand generator on the market already squeezed by rapid dislocation of relationship between supply on demand dislocates the point of balance further.

Wait until you remind yourself of intel and its RDRAM adventure in pentium 4 generation.

I'm unaware of any other sort. Paper checks are considered fraudulent by the trades I have access to, in Arizona, and not without good cause.

Your locale is not at all like mine.

Why would he feel inadequate when, according to a trustworthy source, he's a better boxer than Mike Tyson, fitter than LeBron James, hotter than Tom Brady, one of the top minds in history with a near-Olympian physique, the world's best runway model, better at resurrection than Jesus, the world's best bottom (ahem) (cough) and the ultimate throat goat?

Sooner or later, we'll end up at the point where trying to maintain the ways of the past is a fruitless fight. Teachers' jobs are no longer going to be "to teach" - that that's inevitably getting taken over by AI (for economic reasons, but also because it's a one-on-one interaction with the student, with them having no fear of asking questions, and that at least at a pre-university level, it probably knows the material a lot better than the average teacher, who these days is often an ignorant gym coach or whatnot). Their jobs will be *to evaluate frequently* (how well does the student know things when they don't have access to AI tools?). The future of teachers - nostalgia aside - is as daily exam administrators, to make sure that students are actually doing their studies. Even if said exams were written by and will be graded by AI.

The preservatives are in the flour. I've made bread with unbleached, organic, non preservative flour. The finished loaves kept for about a week before the mold set in. The unused flour, not much longer.

Never again. When my doctor told me I needed more greens in my diet, I didn't think he meant mold.

Probably a good idea. Short selling and buying options are two different things. If you don't know how they work, best to stay away from them.

If you buy an option (put or call) you can just walk away from it, taking only the option purchase as a loss. (Selling options is a riskier undertaking.)

JPEGXL really does everything webp does and so much more, and it's well thought out.

WebP isn't terrible; they are smaller than I would have guessed given that they have the container overhead, but there's no stunning argument for it. "Better than PNG for what we used PNG for." OK, true, but.

Google should just let AV1 be AV1 and focus on pushing HEVC out of the market with it. The real opponents of progress have left the image space and are mucking around with video and VR now. Google has the capability to do something about this and foster innovation.

Buy put options.

Geothermal is already workable. Ask the people in Iceland where it accounts for over of the country's power generation. The reason it's not everywhere is that unless you live next to a volcano or other geological features that put out enough heat, there's no way to tap into it other than transmitting the power from those places. Making it even more efficient or increasing the output are certainly things we should do as well, but geothermal is already working now. I like it better than solar or wind because the power generated doesn't fluctuate like those others do and hence there's less reliance on batteries if the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing.

> The failure of successive COPs to agree to get rid of fossil fuels means that this is going to become necessary

Nobody believes this anymore.

Global temperatures are cyclical and the current trend is very close to the normal periodic cycle. All the "models" have failed. Sure, 95% of "Climate Scientists" believe their funding should continue but the jig is up.

If they actually attempt to blot out the sun there is no limit to what normal thinking people will do to stop them.

Fortunately they are very unlikely to get any real support for this harebrained scheme.

Speak for yourself. When I was younger, I could barely lift $100 worth of groceries. Now, it's easy.

... tracking implant in my Covid vaccine already.
Thanks anyway.

Why is it more cost effective to build a new Capitol than to build a water pipeline?

During my power company career a few decades ago, this was a real thing. But that was due to the use of power-hungry HID lamps. Today, it's mainly LED lamps, which consume much less power. Small grow operations consumption data drops down into the noise level of typical home use.

Large grows can be found by walking drug dogs through your neighborhood. Or drones equiped with chemical sensors.
