We have two rates, this is if you are using over 10kwh per day, the maximum rate: $0.1372 per kwh

It might also be for a radiator to cool the battery and/or act as a heat pump for the AC/heat. At least, I hope they are using a heatpump.

Just buy a PC, it will last longer and you can do a lot more with it. The PS6 will probably be even more expensive.

GaaS has made gaming so boring. Fun for like, two months. But with no story and tons of nerfs, they quickly become rather samey feeling. I miss the Halo 2 days where games had a story. Or genuine innovation, like Rocket league, and its ability to be cross platform. That was GaaS done right, until Epic bought them and fucked it all up.

Signs and fences unfortunately don't mean much to US laws, as we learned in a university law class. Look up attractive nuisances. If someone gets hurt on your property, even if you have signs and fences saying "warning: aggressive bull" and they hop the fence and get trampled, they can still sue and win.

This also includes stuff like trampolines, pools, etc.

Vote blue for congress this November. We need to get Dejoy out, he's a fucking traitor.

He did not, the president cannot remove him because of the board that controls the position. It requires congress to change, and congress is not majority blue, so we just have traitors still installed who are actively doing damage to the US.

A lot of the bike routes are mapped using car data. If you are biking on a one way street and have to turn around, maps will route you around the block (uphill) like a car, even if there's a sidewalk you coukd bike or walk down instead.

It's not super great for biking data, but it works. It tends to miss protected bike lanes, though.

Really depends on where you go! Certain parts feel safer, other parts feel less safe (or less comfortable to walk through safely). I'm not going to name names, as I've only been to various countries for a bit at a time, it would be unfair to pass judgement on entire nations based off a small experience.

The public transit is usually a cut above. Some of the driving feels dangerous. The food prices are somewhat expensive, but the food is generally less UPF-laced.

The more relaxed culture around nudity is refreshing. The lack of large, wild parks is a bit disappointing (or perhaps we missed these entirely), but various nations seem to be catching on to rewilding. The history is fascinating, and europeans generally think much more long-term than Americans, but the bad blood also runs deep, which is a little worrying. I'm glad the EU keeps everyone together.

Overall, it's fun to visit, it generally feels safe, cultured, and the transit is very great, particularly the train systems. It has it's problems just like other places in Africa, North America, and Central America.

If I had to live in a non-english speaking country, I'd probably pick Spain. Wonderful people, great transit, a relaxed culture, and excellent food, though France and Germany give Spain a run for their money on several of these points.

Just do what I do and put it in that deep cupboard above the fridge. Then forget about it for literal years by mistake. It's doing wonders for my health. Just wish I could do a version of that for my bad sleep schedule.

Unfortunately, landmines are a small part of a large problem: unexploded munitions last centuries. Artillery, rockets, grenades, mines, explosives, even large ammo dumps can stick around and explode decades later.

Here's an active one from WW1 that is still uninhabitable because of the danger:

https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/red-zone/

The intense fighting and shelling near the tiny town of Verdun has permanently altered the region surrounding the Meuse River in northeastern France. The environmental destruction left by the battle led to the creation of the Zone Rouge—the Red Zone. The Zone Rouge is a 42,000-acre territory that, nearly a century after the conflict, has no human residents and only allows limited access.

Oooh, I was thinking either Colorado or perhaps Idaho.

I believe it's supposed to be flag colors- white wolf, red blood, blue shirt. But I agree, the wolf could use some red flannels.

Yeah, as the other person said, lots of vote splitting because there were several good democrats and people assume the good ones will always win the primaries, so they don't vote. This has hosed us in the past. We could really use ranked choice voting and better classes that teach students why voting is so important.

Also, the nominative determinism is strong- Upthegrove has a deep knowledge of the field (heh), and has strong endorsements from great orgs like the Sierra Club. We'd be lucky to have him!

It was really nice. We went prior to the Olympics, but Paris and other parts of France are beautiful and lovely each in their own way. It feels very much like home, yet foreign at the same time.

I will never forget how immaculately well kept the American graves were at the beaches of Normandy. They treat them with such respect, and it brought tears to my eyes. The people of France will always have a spot in my heart for what they've done for us in our time of need and for the utmost respect they have shown our ancestors in both world wars.

Just the other day, a driver passed a group of cyclists while on a quiet road. He honked the entire way past while driving down the wrong side of the road and failed to notice the oncoming cars while the bikes and other cars were trying to get his attention. Luckily, the other cars slammed on their brakes and horns and nobody was hurt or killed.

...The road was about four blocks long and isn't even a major road because it runs into a city park. He didn't make it past the cyclists because the road was so short, and there were other cars coming the other way.

Don't forget the meta where a new paid DLC weapon is super unbalanced and great for two weeks until the devs nerf it into the ground and everyone goes back to the default weapons that are just ok.

Does it taste kinda minty?

Same here! I thought I'd have special eyes (in a bad way).

Russia has kinda shitty land afaik. Not a ton of resources either, iirc. I believe a decent chunk of it is tagia forests and (soon to be) swampy permafrost zone. Not that much of china's land is great for stuff like farming either. Bragging rights, I guess, but other than the people, I think most land is of little use.
