Renew! Renew!

I think they are trying to denote the trend. According to autotrader (the source of the headline claim), it was 68% two years ago and has been dropping by about 10% a year. Pretty sure the Musk factor sucked the wind out of Tesla's sales, and then there are the stories from the article where people get saddled with a massive 20K repair bill after 8 years of ownership. I'm sure that's an outlier, but you just don't get bills that high with a gas car. And as much as the government wants us all using them by 2035, they have done sweet bugger all to build up the massive charging infrastructure required to get people over their range anxiety. That doesn't instill much confidence in prospective buyers.

Pkunk are (going to be) real?

How the fuck he fold towels?

Did you add in the cost of financing that 24K and tax over 5 years, plus the cost when they inevitably then flip the outstanding balance onto their line of credit because they can't afford the payments to pay out the full amount over a 5 year term? Yeah, it probably won't ever be cheaper for the average Canadians I know.

You aren't voting at all, comrade.

All Cops Are Artists?

TYL farmers aren't simple gatherers.

But you are using the human resource of labour to gather it. We use our bodies to produce all goods and services. I take your point, I just don't think most people consider basic survival tasks to be a profession. A profession is probably best considered to be the first abstraction layer that allows you to do an activity other than those basic tasks to survive.

Omg I am dying lol

Pretty sure you weren't born with food.

And the first resource was...

Thank you for providing legitimate discourse. Pretty rare in this kind of thread, but it's important.

I expected to at least see what number doubled in one year.

Not going to state the obvious with Ricardo Montalban, but I always enjoyed William Campbell's Trelaine. And yeah, Windom was solid as Decker. Great episode all around.

Ok kids, let's go!

Cisco ACI. What a janky, buggy mess. Dozens of clicks to accomplish tasks you used to be able to do in less than 5 seconds from the CLI. And the GUI is laid out like a fever dream. You need to script everything to be even close to efficient, even unique one off tasks, and then you spend more time editing scripts than it used to take to do jobs manually from the CLI. We have one environment with a couple hundred independently managed switches that one guy can manage pretty effectively with little to no automation. It takes a dozen people to manage an environment with about three hundred switches and they are always fixing stupid bugs. The staff turnover there is hilarious. Most people try it for a while and then run for the hills.

True, but I am talking about CD-Rs, as per above. I assume you know what those are.

All of my old PS-1 games on 25-30 year old CD-Rs work fine. You'd be lucky to get 10 years from an HDD. I start losing disks in my RAID 5 arrays at about 6 years, and if you are unlucky it could be under 3. I have a 10 year old USB stick (oldest one I haven't lost yet) that has started failing. So CDs are looking pretty good long term. Would just be a pain to back them all up again, but you might only really have to repeat that once for a lifetime of use.

When I was a kid, I had a dinosaur book that suggested Eryops probably sounded like a Buick. I have no idea if they meant the horn or the engine. One of those odd "facts" that sticks with you, though.
