This is the biggest problem in computer security, all the critical stuff that depends on a network connection accessible through an internet connection which is writable. Connections between the internet and critical control networks should be read-only. No critical medical or infrastructure equipment should ever have to "phone home" to verify that you still have a right to operate it. The entire idea is not only repugnant, it's literally contradictory to national security.

Ironically given that they especially don't need another problem, cancer patients are commonly instructed to consume high-protein supplements.

That's my question, but it's commonly related to processing equipment so that's my speculation until further notice. But maybe the commonly used proteins somehow attach environmental lead strongly? There could be multiple causes. I too am irritated that zero of the articles on this seem to address this question, though maybe I just haven't found the diamond in the pasture.

It probably isn't. Every so often we find out that another class of food products is commonly contaminated with lead.

It wasn't really the lead pipes, they are only a danger if your water is acidic. It was the lead everything else. Paint and glaze, makeup, cookware, and artificial sweetener. Also it's still debated whether they were getting enough lead for it to be a problem, but there's no safe amount and it's not an on/off switch so it's reasonable to argue that it was at least part of the problem.

Nobody knows what he actually believes, because he lies as naturally as breathing. He went from "I don't know anything about Project 2025" to "Russ Vought is a great guy who is helping me save money" without any transition at all. Trump's supporters are all for him lying because they think everyone else lies so it's okay. Well, statistically everyone else does lie. It's stupid to think that makes it okay, but it's understandable when there's so much lying going on.

Your question contains the answer, they aren't smart. They think they are, which is only possible because they aren't. Trump is against everything they stand for except for hurting brown people and owning the libs, and they are willing to cut off any parts of their faces to accomplish those things. They claim to be against pedos, but Trump is chief child molester. They claim to be in favor of small government, but Trump doesn't want to shrink it, he wants to make it all military and secret police. They claim to be against corporate excess, but everything Trump is doing is a handout to corporations. They claim to be pro-farmer, but Trump has destroyed America's ability to profit from exporting meat and produce. This list stretches on into infinity, in that it is still growing. The Trump supporters are too busy cheering for boats being blown up and brown people being sent to concentration camps to notice that they are getting nothing they asked for, but everything they voted for.

What do you think it breaks down into?

They enable more than 50% of ransomware.

Do you work at a backbone site? If not, your lack of an anecdote is typically worthless, not that if you said you did it would be credible given your typical game-playing bullshit.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the general lack of open positions, leaving people facing fears of income stability and reigning in discretionary spending.

Maybe that few-years-old gas-powered car that is still perfectly functional is preferable to a pricey upgrade to a shiny new car with fewer gas stations and longer refuel times.

The emotional satisfaction of living an environmentally-friendly lifestyle is going to take second seat to practical realities, especially during uncertain economic times.

This. These are weapons.

Only some of them really fit this description, because most of them are parallel hybrids, and very few of those have enough electric motor to do all types of driving on it alone. This is sad considering that this formula is over a century old, with the first example built in 1899 and the first successful commercial vehicles starting in 1905 — they even did regenerative braking.

There are other factors. If it stays on long enough to come up to full temperature every time it's started it's going to need them a lot later than if it doesn't.

By your definition, most PHEVs are SHITTY. (What's that stand for, anyway?)

Yes by the state. Never forget QWest. Or, you know, what we found out from Snowden and Manning and Winner. Your willful ignorance changes nothing.
