The second map on the Newsweek site shows all the wrong states if you mouseover any of the states (California is Maine, Alaska is Florida, etc.)

Nuclear might be better and cheaper over it's entire lifecycle; but given that the starting costs are so high, the time to build is so long, and the US has serious problems with cost overruns in public projects, as well as the fickleness of both government and public opinion, I don't expect another plant to be built.

Well we were speaking of costs in a hypothetical future in which regulations are sane. I don’t expect that to happen either but if it did, the economics would work.

Zoro still has them in stock. If you haven't heard of them, they are a subsidiary of Grainger, a huge industrial supply company. They seem to ship even faster than Amazon in my experience.

This is fearmongering. Your skin does not absorb everything it touches, otherwise I would be drunk from using 70% ethyl alcohol hand sanitizer. And the claim that microplastics, physical particles, go right into your skin also seems questionable.

Most MDM software would already have access to your location. This might make it available to a lower level of management.

It seems the answer is yes. From their web site:

> Fair prices, based on how you drive [...] Get a discount, and earn a lower premium as you drive better.


Bummer.. its super fun to floor them off the line.

Someone with a Plaid will need to test this out to see how high they can make their Lemonade premium.

This (instant torque) is exciting for about the first week of electric car ownership, it gets old very fast. I have far more fun driving my much slower gas-engined cars.

Speak for yourself. Over 3 years and 100k km and still enjoying it.

MT gas cars are very fun to drive!

It doesn't get old. What a ludicrous statement.

I did get lots of traction issues with FWD EV, any sort of wet - you need to baby it.


There’s much more to enjoying cars than speed in a straight line, which I do not disagree at all most EVs are exceptional at.

Booting the go pedal at every stop sign or light just feels like being a bit of a childish jerk after a short while on public roads once the novelty wears off.


We don't know if 50% makes it actually cheaper than other car insurance companies, or the coverage is comparable, or if they have comparable service. Or if they sell your location information to marketers.

The Samsung A-series are way too good for the price. I'm not surprised people aren't willing to pay twice the price (a Galaxy S) for incredibly marginal gains.

If you're not trying to use your phone as a gaming PC, or taking pictures in the dark, cheap Android phones are all you need.


I love walking up stairs and detest stair machines (and treadmills to an extent). You have to tell your brain to not look ahead to where you are stepping and use your peripheral vision and memory, but instead trust that there will always be a step in front of you, or stare at your feet. It's a bit unnatural.

I prefer to exercise outdoors as well. Unfortunately I live in a suburb so there isn't much enjoyable outdoor space. The gym is my goto for when I don't want to drive a half hour out of town and I can watch my shows on my phone while I walk on an incline treadmill.

Agreed. Also much less of a workout per stairs since your center of mass roughly hovers in the same place. Also difficult to resist the temptation of hanging most of bodyweight on hands as I see most people doing.

It is exactly the same workout. A YouTuber made a video about it here:

Wow. Interesting. That must hold true for a treadmill also.
