Because the goal of the government isn't to turn a profit. Ideally, government funded needs should be used to create jobs in the country or region that government is in charge of.
If everyone switched to SpaceX for their launches, then they'd be handing a monopoly to Elon, and nobody wants that. Instead they need to be funding their own space program and drive down the costs to be competitive with SpaceX so they can be self sufficient.
It's a problem that they need to use SpaceX right now, for several reasons.
Show was written in a time before streaming, before people could record TV. She was there to explain to the audience, who were assumed to not be aware of the previous episodes, who the bad guys are.
Sure, but different writers treat it differently. What about the one episode with Broccoli, where we get a first person view of being in the transporter, and he clearly has a continuous consciousness throughout the experience.
I know you don't want to pay fees on the card, but carrying a negative balance and paying you bill early are both interest free loans to the bank. You can manage your money in whatever way makes sense to you, and interest held by keeping that money in a high yield savings account probably wouldn't be much, but you can also reduce your level of effort quite a bit.
Technically, their "worst" customer would be one who pays in full on the last day their bill is due, in full, with no mistakes.
Summary is missing some context here. The article is an interview with Annie Rauwerda.
Behind the X owner’s trolling is a years long obsession with the internet’s favorite encyclopedia, Depths of Wiki creator Annie Rauwerda tells Rolling Stone
Then later
But much of Musk’s consternation with the popular site appears to be less about its features and more about his inability to control what it says about him. Rauwerda, creator of Depths of Wikipedia, one of the most popular Wikipedia-focused accounts online, tells Rolling Stone that Musk’s focus seems to be coming from a man obsessed with encyclopedias — who’s still unable to bend the world’s most popular one towards his will.
I played every fallout game as they came out. Bought my first windows computer to play F1 after playing it on my roommates computer. I was extremely excited for F76, but held off on purchasing until the reviews came in.
Very quickly realized that it was never going to be the game for me. Really glad I didn't get burned on that purchase, but disappointed that I never was able to immerse myself in MMO fallout. It had such potential to be great.
Just as a made up example - with a space heater, you could get 1000 watts of heat from 1000 watts of electricity, or you can move 1500 watts of heat with 1000 watts of electricity with a heat pump.
As many people said, it depends on your system. Some highly efficient central heating can have greater than 100% efficiency, so a space heater MIGHT be more expensive than the central heating unit.
Typically a better way to keep the cost lower is to set your home's thermostat to a lower, but still home safe number, like 55 degrees F (15 degrees C) and then use a smaller space heater in the room you are using, or just bundle up with hot tea/blankets/sweaters, but allowing your house to get much colder than that might not be good for your appliances, furniture, pipes, etc.
Depending on how much you want to invest, you can upgrade to a mini-split HVAC system and keep each zone of your home at a different temperature based on needs, and it can be far more efficient (and safer) than managing space heaters.
If you're importing 100,000 rows in, the damage to your data is already done by the time you're at the step where you can set the field to not convert.
Yup, I don't feel like paying $500 just to play one game, as good as it is. I could pick up a used PS5 and then sell it when I'm done, but that's a much bigger pain than just buying it on steam.
His second in command was a woman already in the pilot.
