There are only so many data centers, so by hiking their rates 30% then they were able to reduce the already paid rate of probably 1.5M households by 1.3%. They didnt increase everyones rates 30% and then reduce it to 28.7% for the residential customer.

1.3% is pretty significant when youre talking about over a million accounts. Data centers use a ton of energy but thats a handful of accounts by comparison (or literally)

Most of the large security camera companies these days, like Verkada, utilize IP cameras for a variety of reasons.

Having the whole system be onsite and closed circuit requires a lot more hardware and wiring. IP cameras used to be an almost unusable option, but nowadays with how much data is required by high quality video it’s a far more reasonable option. Not to mention latency has improved significantly, which used to be a big problem with IP cameras.

Verkada style IP camera systems are far easier to install as well, compared to hardwiring a CCTV throughout a huge facility.

It can certainly be “online” and still be highly secure. Most clients would prefer that option over a traditional system

If it was the same shade as the guy next to him it would actually be a pretty solid fit

Magic mushrooms are one thing, but there are actually a different kind of mushrooms that exclusively make people hallucinate tiny people running around everywhere. Theyre commonly eaten in Asia as a food, but if undercooked they make you see little people

There are a couple species around the world that have the same effect, so scientists are working to find the gene or other root cause that triggers us to hallucinate lilliputians

The first seated events would probably have been people speaking to larger groups in amphitheaters that naturally formed by rock formations. You can often find natural amphitheaters as features of parks with cliffs, and people were probably inherently drawn to those kinds of spaces

Its Florida, so Im going to assume they think the oranges wont grow because gay people exist

A large proportion of people have massive debt and a non-insignificant portion are using BNPL just to buy groceries. The average American cant afford a surprise $400 expense without hardship, and the vast majority dont make $400 in a shift. Many not even in 2 shifts.

Americans may get paid in dollars, but the country we live in is less affordable than pretty much any other country in the world in terms of our wages. Its not exactly easy for people to take a day off and protest.

And it doesnt help that most of these planned protests are on a Saturday, which is universally a day that service workers are expected to work on. 8/10 people in this country are service industry workers of some form or another.

Who exactly is offering to support broke ass Americans so that we can protest any of this? Oh yea, nobody is…

Much like the floods worsened by intensifying climate conditions, one raindrop is too small to matter.

Wasting time searching for a single-solution answer for fixing the problem is as stupid as trying to prevent a flood by building little dams to catch individual raindrops. Or especially just not even trying anything

There are literally all of about 10 schools from which an MBA is worth anything. Often people with MBAs from non T10 schools are recommended to take their MBA off of their resume when they inevitably struggle to find a job. A sub T10 MBA on a resume just says “I will ask for more money courtesy of my useless credential”

Its more of a squares and rectangles thing IMO. All MAGA are conservatives but not all conservatives are MAGA. Maga is inherently a conservative political movement. “Make America Great Again”. Its in the name. Return to an idealization of the past (even if the idealization was never reality, nor feasible to achieve)

Pryor, whom was appointed by Bush. So literally a majority conservative panel

“For the military… its an opportunity to recruit… kids” is a hell of a statement. Hot take but maybe the military shouldnt be recruiting children

Bosher salt, everyone’s favorite kosher salt and borax mixed seasoning. Why stop at sodium chloride when you can enjoy the power of sodium borate?

What are they even trying to say with the whole thing about Europe vs the US? If Europe had used their devices for shorter lengths of time, ie higher capital amounts spent on tech replacements, then they would have had higher productivity?

But that necessitates a level of investment that doesnt exist. Its like saying “if investments in the Congo were on parity with the US they would have increased productivity by 2 million percent”. Which is neither guaranteed to be true, as there are limitations in a smaller country, plus fairly useless to even say as there are limits on what is reasonably investable in the Congo without more risk than reward. Its literally useless econobabble arguing in favor of hypotheticals that make no sense on paper

Even the tech investments that occur already in the US make no sense on paper, consumer nor commercial. People dont need a new iphone every year. I get 5 years out of mine on average

Knocs

It physically nauseates me remembering Laura Loomer exists, but you dont see me bragging about it

With fish it is the opposite. Fish that dont eat fish arent usually very good eating. And most fish that eat fish are even cannibalistic of their own species
