US blue states like mine: IL dont require IDs to vote. You putting this all together yet? The democrats were hoarding in illegal votes, not illegal citizens. Chicago just went tits up with a $1bn budget hole all blown on housing, feeding, giving free cell-phones for illegal immigrants for 2 years, than ICE came in and deported them anyways. Genius local governments. And yes the local latino community was in uproar about this as well.

Im in the 40s, I run regularly during the summers, i like to run outside. During this winter, I picked up strength training + pilates as a new thing to pass the cold winter months (with real trainers) and shockingly my belly fat is disappearing with very little running on the treadmill. Proper strength training with as little as 1.5hrs/week when done right is super efficient in outcomes. I still watch the diet, but im always hungry (in a good way). Its a push and pull situation with cardio and strength, but its fun and I am super lean and strong (posture is 100x better even on the run). The old or now new food pyramid is real as well, focus on lean proteins and fresh foods limiting carbs (unless you run) produces results. South park got it right: The food pyramid was upside down.

You are wrong, moving to a balanced diet: exercise converts fat to muscle, which is dense, you rarely loose that much "weight" but you will look tone. The mistake people make is they keep stepping on a scale when going through this process and think that weight is the key metric. Any fitness coach will tell you to stop stepping on the scale, look in the mirror, if you start looking "good" its working.

Even if they got the cash on hand to expand, they cannot. PJM supply mostly supplied by Nuclear, Natural Gas, and Coal, renewables is small %. You cant spin up nuclear supply quickly, GE gas turbines are back -rdered years. Coal, who knows, thats a local EPA issue. You can see the break down on PJM site: www.pjm.com

Comment Im on PJM supply, prices were crazy during summer (Score 1) 61

Im supplied by PJM through Comed in IL, im also on the hourly plan to gamify the cost to save $$. Let me say, the price spikes during the summer hot days were crazy. Im still saving money vs static $/KWH for supply, but wow what a ride during the summer.

Depending on the type of health issues, if its manageable like weight, it can be overcome. Weight issue makes excerise "hard" but not impossible, just need to start slow. Lack of excercise and bad diet is the root cause of alot of things just need to break the cycle of life habits.

Comment Re:How are OLEDs premium? (Score 2) 57

You clearly dont have a modern OLED or streamer. At least on Apple TV set top, if you pause anything for more than 2mins, the screen saver comes on. If the screen saver plays for for 10mins, it turns the TV off via HDMI. If the Apple TV just turns itself off, the TV itself has a screen saver and will do the same for itself. My LG also has built in pixel refresh mode that does its thing every 6months months on its own when the tv is noff, how, I dont know but it tells me its gonna do it. I watch alot of news channels, so there are logos that stay on the screen for along time, no burn-in.
