The other benefit I can think of is keeping the fissile materials always sub critical. You don’t have to worry about a meltdown if the reaction is not self-sustaining. It’s an odd marrying of technologies, but I think people are being too dismissive.

Although, I wonder if the true purpose of such a device would be high output breeding of fuel for weapons use.

I see it as an extension of the myth of American purity and external corruption. “This person is evil, some outside power must have compromising info on them.” “Immigrants are violent criminals preying on innocent americans.”

These attitudes ignore the reality that bad people can come from anywhere. There are plenty of villians with very mundane origin stories. What matters is if everyone else has the will and ability to keep bad people in check and hold them accountable.

The grifters in charge need no other motivation than a sense of superiority and an opportunity to make a buck.

They’ve been doing this with “natural intelligence” for ages.

The scavenger predator formerly known as Avago Technologies Limited currently wears Broadcom as a skinsuit to disguise hostile takeovers as normal tech mergers.

From wikipedia

Zelle (/zɛl/) is a United States–based digital payments network run by a private financial services company owned by the banks Bank of America, Truist, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, PNC Bank, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo.

So PayPal does not seem to own an interest in Zelle, but the group of owners isn’t necessarily better than PayPal.

What components did they replace with the original work? Did they just replace the bumper cover?

If you were charged for a new tail lamp/light assembly in the previous work, then this is on them. If they only pulled the original tail lamp as part of other work, and reinstalled the original tail lamp, then the tail lamp was probably cracked in the collision. That damage would be easy to miss and can take a long time to become apparant. It sounds to me like this component was not replaced in the original work and you are only now discovering damage that was sustained in the collision.

In NC at aldi, cage free eggs are $4.50/do. and free range eggs are $5.30/do.

I get that price are regional, but there’s got to be another factor for why the price is double what I pay for pasture raised eggs.

Have you tried cleaning out your phone port? A plastic flosspick works well. If there’s lint in the bottom it can keep the plug from seating properly and acts like you describe.

I have had plenty of cables fail though so I don’t think you’re crazy.

It would be pretty easy to require accepting a screenshare with a button press on the target screen. So I don’t think trolling other people’s displays is the main concern.

Right, without major architectural changes there’s no reason to expect drivers to make a meaningful performance difference except in fixing particular workloads that are broken. Average performance should not be expected to move much.

This one is pretty close to what I think you’re asking for. https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the-complete-listing-atrocities-1-1-056

There’s plenty of american companies willing to sell sensitive data to anyone with money to buy. We need an overhaul of data privacy and all this focus on singular companies is missing the forest for the trees.

I’ve had so many random logouts since they started doing the disney integration stuff. This outage was particularly long though.

I don’t let reality get in the way of a mediocre pun.

You may be right, but that is so wrong.

Agriculture is also frequently exempted from overtime pay.

My county offers compost from yard waste for $7 per loader scoop. You have to haul it yourself on the handful of weekends it’s open, but it’s a way better deal than buying from any of the landscape suppliers. Similar programs aren’t quite ubiquitous but they’re more common than most would realize. If your city has leaf collection, you should see if they offer compost.

I built some large raised beds that would have been a fortune to fill with bagged soil or from a landscape supplier. So I was really happy to find out about my local program.

US mobile. The data pool pricing model works out to be pretty price competitive among the mvno’s for the way we use two lines. They also claim to be the only mvno that doesn’t get low priority on congested towers.

You can test drive a payment level while watching the market. Pick the price bracket that you think might be your max and calculate the payment. Then set up an automatic recurring transfer from your checking to a savings account for the amount of the theoretical house payement with escrow - current rent. This will help you see if you can manage a higher payment or if you will feel too house poor. Those savings transfers can be earmarked for the downpayment too.

When figuring out how much of a downpayment you can afford, don’t forget to reserve money for closing costs which can be thousands of dollars. You will also need to reserve some emergency funds, and expect to buy a significant number of tools in the first few years. Yard care tools, ladders, etc. really add up.

If you look at places that need a little work, do your best to arrange to have all that work done before you move in. For example I wish we had our floors refinished before we moved in. To do that now would be a lot like moving twice.

I don’t get how anyone thinks washing wear is what limits the lifetime of any pants. Knees and thighs are always what gives out first on any pants I’ve owned with the exception being tears from snagging. Wearing pants is what wears them out, not washing.
