The Little Ice Age was from 16th to the 19th centuries. The Maunder Minimum was a period around 1645 to 1715. See my references below.

So your dates do not line up. Stop spouting bullshit.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...:

"The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a period of regional cooling, particularly pronounced in the North Atlantic region.[2] It was not a true ice age of global extent.[3] The term was introduced into scientific literature by François E. Matthes in 1939.[4] The period has been conventionally defined as extending from the 16th to the 19th centuries,[5][6][7] but some experts prefer an alternative time-span from about 1300[8] to about 1850."

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...:
"The Maunder Minimum, also known as the "prolonged sunspot minimum", was a period around 1645 to 1715 during which sunspots became exceedingly rare."

and

"The Maunder Minimum roughly coincided with the middle part of the Little Ice Age, during which Europe and North America experienced colder than average temperatures. Whether there is a causal relationship, however, is still under evaluation.[17] The current best hypothesis for the cause of the Little Ice Age is that it was the result of volcanic action.[18][19] The onset of the Little Ice Age also occurred well before the beginning of the Maunder Minimum,[18] and northern-hemisphere temperatures during the Maunder Minimum were not significantly different from the previous 80 years,[20] suggesting a decline in solar activity was not the main causal driver of the Little Ice Age.

Or try stuffing a gallon of gasoline in your luggage and you'll see exactly how "safe" it is.

TDS? I don't think we need to bring the ability to believe el Bunko into this. The Maggots are happy with their TDS.

There's an Epstein email that said la Presidenta spent several hours with one of Epstein's underage girls. They were playing chess?

C is another static language, so the IDE can give you a good autocomplete without relying on AI. Why haven't you switched to Rust? I hear it's better at everything.

Why do you think that?

I won't be at all surprised if Valve start selling ARM games as well as x86. I'm sure they'd like to not be tied to x86 in the future, just as these devices help to break the ties to Windows.

Having used wireless PC VR there's no way I'm going back to a cable. If I can play FPS games with wi-fi there's no need to have to drag a cable around and try to remember where it is so I don't trip over it or accidentally pull it out.

A good point, but thinking on the marginal transactional costs to process a sale of additional items after one, people deliberately buying two items to 'stick it' to the business and get maybe 5 cents off their purchase is actually benefitting the business, and the customer spending more time figuring out the exact cost before checking out than the five cents are worth.
Basically, I figure that the business could outright discount every item after the first by 5 cents, and still profit more per item when people are buying 3-4 items at a time rather than one.

I doubt that, especially with varying sales taxes screwing with things.
The draw to price everything in .99 is too high. Or even .95 or .97.

A lot of studies of paper vs plastic bills are looking at paper bills using scrap cotton and linen fibers and still having wood pulp.
US bills use the premium stuff and are 0% wood pulp. As a result, our paper money lasts as long on average as the plastic bills.
The math changes when one considers that we don't have to import our fibers into the country and can thus get the good stuff for less than other countries pay for scrap.

Good for you. Maybe Valve could have provided 2.5 Gb for those four markets across the US.

I can get gigabit here but it's twice the price of what I have and it would mostly be idle. So why pay another $1,000 a year to download Steam games a few minutes faster?

So how many people do you know who have 2.5 Gb at home?

My fibre is 150Mbps and Starlink is wi-fi so there's no reason for me to need 2.5 Gb other than VR streaming. It's not like I'm copying huge files from machine to machine inside the house.

There is no "glut of cars". China still has a lot of unmet internal demand. The problem is that EVs are becoming a commodity in China now. So all the business models designed to exploit high-margin expensive products are becoming obsolete.

Dealerships are suffering the most, there is simply no margin for them to exist anymore, so they're doing all kinds of tricks to make sure they appear to be useful to carmakers. The double whammy is the fast depreciation of EVs. Just like with computers in the 90-s, people know that in 3 years a new EV will be better in all regards. So why waste money on expensive value-add services provided by dealerships?

I have four routers and five LAN switches in my house and only one 2.5 Gb port. Which is used to connect the PC to the Wi-Fi 6 router for VR streaming.

Most people will either connect the Stream Machine to their ISP router which likely only has Gigabit, or to a cheap LAN switch which likely only has Gigabit. There's no reason to give people a faster Ethernet port unless you expect 2.5+ Gb fibre to be common for Internet access in the next few years.
