They were really hoping Biden didn't shoot it down so they could keep complaining. Seen things like it's a waste of money, might as well let it pass and save the jet fuel and missal costs. Or he should have shot it down a week ago, even though it was in Canada.

Can't tell if your being serious or not. I am guessing you are not. The AF runs thousands of training and practice missions every day, the planes don't sit grounded 24/7 waiting for something to happen. We live near JBLM and see/hear them practicing daily.

It was over 60,000ft, most fighters can't get that high. Our old U2 spy plane went to 80k feet, they couldn't even hit it with misses.

Since their hacker and bot army isn't getting paid by trump anymore they need a new source of income.

I was copying C64 floppy disks when I was a kid, later advanced to downloading games from BBS's. Without piratebay bluray disks would still probably be $60.

I hate all the posts I see with people say they are investing in some crypto....It's more like gambling. A few people are going to make a lot of money, but likely not them.

There are a few posts or links that I do look at on twitter but not very often. I don't have the app anymore and half the time when I do actually look at something I am not even signed in anymore. Not sure how long it's been since I have tweeted or even responded to a post, not much point in offering your opinion to bots.

Yes, and power costs are relatively stable were as gas/diesel can unexpectedly spike probably messing up the whole school district budget. 20 busses, each one like 100 miles a day ? (many busses do more than 1 route, 6:00-7:30am Highschool, 7:45-8:30 elementary, then again in the afternoon) 2000 miles a day at 8MPG=250 gallons x $6 a gallon is $1500 per day in gas. First bus I found on google - 155KW battery 120 mile range. Assuming they still do 100 miles and use 120KW per day, at our power rate of .089 per KWh comes to $10 per bus / $200 per day for power VS $1500 a day for diesel. Some schools have way more then 20 busses, say it's 200 busses, $15,000 per day diesel VS $2000 for power. The larger the fleet the more money they save. And if their utility does off peak billing the power could even be 30% less for overnight charging. Plus no oil changes and a bus isn't a $19.99 oil change like a car. It may take 22-28 quarts. Air filters, belts, very simple transmissions/gearbox, brakes last longer because of regen, no exhaust systems to rust or leak.....

If you can't even take your hands of the wheel to dip your nuggets or take a drink then why even put those systems in a car. We put this tech in your car than can kind of self drive your car but it's not safe to use it that way.

People aren't going to subscribe to 27 different streaming services, we pay for 2 and get 1 from with our phone plan and that's all. Anything that's not available gets downloaded the old fashion way.

By air about 130 miles from Seatac to Portland, 265 to Coeur D'alene ID, 140 to Vancouver BC, 235 to Spokane. It would probably help keep prices more stable with out the constant rising fuel prices.

Not really an issue. You can set your car or charger to come on at a certain time, like 10pm-4am when power use is very low. Plus if someone has a typical electric forced air furnace that may draw 60-70amps so this 6am power surge is much worse than some EV charging late at night. Add these new on demand or tankless water heaters, those can pull 80amps so add that power draw happing about 15 minutes after the heaters all turn on. Also with a 250-300 mile range EV drivers don't all charge every day, maybe 1-2 times a week depending on how much they drive. A home EV charger uses much less power, like turning on a stove or microwave. EV charging is a non issue that people keep bringing who don't actually knowing anything about charging.

Actually used mining cards have been tested and shown to work great for their age. They often run 24/7 and don't have typical thermal stresses of a computer being powered on, run for a few hours, maybe an hour of gaming that spikes the temp, then back off again. They may reduce the clock speed from say 1325mhz to 1150, drop the voltage from 1.1 to 0.875 but change the memory speed from 1800 to 2150. The drop in clock speed and voltage may only loose a few percentage of hashrate speed but may cut power usage and heat 30%.

Crypto had a pretty big boom in the past 2 years but seems to be going though a correction now. Think it's past it peak and coming down the other side of the roller coaster. BC will keep getting harder to mine, requiring newer and faster hardware to stay competitive and unless the value keeps going up as well it will get to a point where expenses = revenue and mining won't make sense. Crypto won't go away, it will likely continue but the value won't go though big spikes and dips, proof of stake, not mining is used by most all crypto now.

I have a Niro plug in hybrid, 30 miles around town using zero gas. When I drive more than that I switch to Hybrid on the freeway then let it run as EV in the city. Driving 100 miles a day to work and back it averages about 95mpg per tank since half the miles are EV.
