I have an acquaintance heavily involved in manufacturing in the US. He has started, run, and acquired multiple factories. He puts the difference between the US and China this way.

The Chinese government determines that battery manufacturing is important to their overall industrial plan. Within a year to a year and a half, a dozen or so battery factories are opened.

In the US, if a company wants to open a battery factory, the permitting process alone takes a year, to up to two or three, depending on the location. He's had permits to reopen existing factories take two to three years to be approved.

My son's coach uses them to clip best-of videos and pictures for the end of team dinner. When his game is on the coach turns on constant recording and tells it to clip stuff when he sees something cool happen.

It's a niche use case, but the resulting clips are great. He would otherwise have to be fiddling with a camera or phone while the game is on, which is cumbersome, and he's got better things to do.

i am starting to think that there might be some use for these airborne lawn mowers

The teacher is claiming, specifically, that not paying off credit cards increases your credit score. This is wrong. It has nothing to do with budgeting, or leasing, or mortgages. It's about building credit via using credit cards.

You make a small purchase every month and pay it off in full. That is how you build credit. If you drive, the easiest is gas. Otherwise, groceries.

Last year my son's high school economics teacher told her class to put a balance on their first credit card and make minimum payments on it to build credit, which is 100% incorrect. Financial literacy is a problem in this country.

wait.

I think that's why 90% of people still use AOL. It's been their email address forever. I have two neighbors who still have paid (cheap) AOL accounts just to keep their email addresses.

AOL was not an internet pioneer. They were an evolution of Quantum Link, an old fashioned on-line service for Commodore computers, that competed with other nationwide services like Compuserve, GEnie, The Well and Prodigy. They actively resisted the internet until people started demanding it, and it got to being ridiculous that you couldn't access the web from AOL itself. By the time AOL introduced full, unrestricted internet access, there were already a dozen or so national ISPs doing the same thing.

I've had a PHEV for six years. It was well known when I bought the car that cold lowered the battery range. The solution is to keep it plugged in. When you tell the car what time you will be leaving in the morning, it will pre-warm the car and batteries using shore power to keep your range up. It will still be less than when it's warm, but it will be far better than starting from freezing.

This isnâ(TM)t new, itâ(TM)s in the sales material and on the dash warnings. The average daily commute is 42 miles (66 for me). I have never needed to drive gas because the temp dropped for my daily commute, ever.

Sure, you might need to take occasional road trips of over 200 miles and want gas, but then you make the rent vs buy decision based on your situation.

We went 2 years working from home, did the same work, hit the same deadlines, delivered the same products. If they're measuring a decline in productivity WFH vs. WFW, they're clearly making a mistake.

My friend is the VMWare manager for a good sized university. They use it for nearly everything - desktop provisioning, servers, backups, network management, etc... Since they are so huge, I think they negotiated a lower license rate, but they are definitely eyeballing alternatives for the server stuff.
