by definition, half of people pay less than the average.

I hate to be nitpicky, but that's not what the average is. In averages a small population of people who spend way more can bring averages above the median (which is the split between halves of the population).

For cars in particular I prefer using medians as they are much more likely to be aligned to what most people experience.

Averages can mess this with this kind of statistics, where small group of people can bring up the average cost significantly.

Gas is also expensive, my wife spends about $130 a month a gas alone. They are also likely factoring in all costs too, including personal property taxes (which where I live gets much more costly if the vehicle is worth over 20k), and all maintenance. So things like tire changes, replacement batteries, oil changes, and everything else, averaged over the lifetime of the car.

You won't see most of these with an electric car at nearly the same cost. Electric cars see much lower operating costs, but only if you can afford it, and can charge it cheaply. Many people I know can't as they live in apartments and would have no way to charge an electric car.

For us personally, looking at buying a new electric over my wife's paid off car, increases in personal property taxes and insurance negate much if the financial savings of having a lower operating expenses. Combined with a high initial cost of the vehicles it doesn't save anything financially.

Being an overwatch player has never been better to be honest.

Well Ana now has a perk that gives speed boost to nano. That combo has always been good, but with that it would be even better.

I wouldn't know anything about that, but with respect to the overwatch team, they don't seem to be implicated in that controversy.

Example

I can't imagine the fight for equality in game dev is over, but at the same time I haven't heard anything particularly controversial. If you have other evidence of wrong doing do let me know.

I took a long break from overwatch after the release of overwatch 2, but they have been made some big changes that have brought me back.

No more heros locked behind battle passes, free loot boxes, 6v6, great performance, sound design and the new perk system is nice. The game is more balanced than it ever was as overwatch 1, even it it's still not perfect.

I don't agree with everything, paid skins are absurdly expensive, and heros do seem designed to sell skins, but that's really not new either.

Instead of trying to stop sweating, work at making it more effective, and dry faster.

A powerful highspeed fan will do the most, and if your house is humid, maybe a dehumidifier to help your sweat evaporate.

Counterintuitively, lowering your excerise temperature may make your sweat accumulation worse. You'll sweat less, but it won't evaporate as quickly leaving you more drenched.

Similarly, drinking cold water doesn't cool you as much as you think it would.

If 0/0 < 0 would error?

If 0 < 0 evaluates false

That makes it even worse???

Every user (remote or local) has an "attitude" which is calculated as follows: `(upvotes cast - downvotes cast) / (upvotes + downvotes)`. If your "attitude" is < 0.0 you can't downvote.

This pains me because it is functionally equivalent to

If downvotes cast < upvotes cast

An astonishingly easy fix would be to just add a tax like a property tax based on vehicle weight. Make it scale enough to be prohibitive, but anyone who needs it will be willing to pay.

Soap changes the surface tension of water and will be able to penetrate the phone when otherwise it wouldn't be able to.

No, don't use soap! It changes the surface tension of water and can allow to enter your phone when it otherwise wouldn't be able to.
