I just assumed he'd flee to Russia and act like a king in exile for the rest of his life. He'd probably conveniently pop up from time to time to spew some pot stirring thing that just hurts the US.

Honestly surprised he hasn't already, I thought he would flee back in 2021.

While this is a cool development I would recommend tempering expectations. The cost of tap water is exceptionally cheap and the claims made here likely take these estimates to the extremes. The economics of scale likely don't match up.

For example, tap water in my city costs ~$0.04 per gallon, at 5 liters per hour, 0.264 gallons per liter, 24 hours per day, for 5 years is $2,312. So saying they can make it for less than the cost of tap water doesn't mean it's affordable.

EDIT: Forgot to convert from liters to gallons

If you're on desktop and open several videos at once (such as getting home from work/school and opening all the new videos on your subscriptions tab) you really don't notice.

What I do notice are the ads at the beginning, quarters, middle, and end of a video

From what I've heard the BBB is as much a BS organization as HP, companies can pay to have the complaints removed.

It certainly isn't needed to operate Wikipedia. The entire archive can fit on your phone.

This is the same guy who didn't understand why you couldn't just unplug servers and load them up in a truck like you're moving into a college dorm.

I just don't understand. This is supposed to be a tech genius who has experience with coding, computer hardware, business management, accounting and physics. How the fuck does he not understand basic logistics?

I'll say that so much of this is unnecessary or even BS. Ban loud cars because they're annoying, that's all that is necessary. Set a decibel limit and if you exceed it then you can be fined. Set time limits like when most people are sleeping so you can have loud cars at some more reasonable times and ban them when people aren't expecting stupidly loud noises.

What do you mean, this bad boy is probably powering a semi-critical government system somewhere, definitely not obsolete.

Edit: not even joking or shitting on it, there's probably a proprietary software system out there somewhere that a contractor was paid to build ages ago. The contractor is out of business or doesn't support it anymore, but it works perfectly in its one little spot. Also an update is gonna cost a quarter of a million dollars.

I've seen disk chart meters at facilities that are 40+ years old and need a new disk chart every so often. You could replace it with a digital meter, but that won't integrate with the rest of the control panel and a third party took over production of the disks 15 years ago. The system works great and it's unlikely to be updated unless they stop making the disk charts.

Edit 2: the correct term is circular chart recorder

I think Pence would actually do better if he went full Chris Christie and attacked Trump. Pence stopped a coup attempt by certifying the vote. If the guy would stand up, denounce Trump, and paint himself a hero then he's probably doing a lot better than he is currently. Instead he's sitting on the fence like a massive turd.

To be fair the children's story came first. In that regard Tolkien and Rowling had something in common, their first books were written for a much younger and simpler audience. It wasn't until they took off commercially that the more adult and deep lore was developed.

EDIT: I'm wrong

McHenry is a piece of shit. Also he was running campaign ads on YouTube back in June, fucking 11 months before the primary.

Let's be honest, Forbes has been a trashhole for a while.
