With a decently built PC and proper Linux drivers this could work well for those who are fixated on gaming. The Apple M1 turned out to be all I need in a laptop, and my Linux desktop has a Ryzen 4600G and no separate graphics card. It is also fine.

I'll be interested to see what comes out and how it works in the real world.

Candles, not lamp oil.

It was also valued as a lubricant.

"whether Linux Mint may eventually lean more heavily on its Debian roots rather than its traditional Ubuntu base."

I know, they could call it Linux Mint Debian Edition... oh wait. They already have that.

As long as Mint can circumvent Debian's stubborness with Broadcom WiFi cards I don't see a problem here.

Fedora was only slightly better as the arcane incantation actually worked. The incantation also updated the kernel which I did not ask for but at least it all worked in the end.

Apple and Microsoft are both screwing up. If ever there was a time to ditch ideological purity and concentrate on getting drivers from whatever source working with a click (like the Broadcom drivers I can install in traditional Mint) this is it.

The phrase you are looking for is 'imperial judiciary'.

It's a complaint both sides in the U.S. make about the other side's judges.

Obviously that is location dependent, but early October still has warm days, nights are usually above freezing, and the skies are a clear deep blue that only seems to happen in the fall.

Rainfall is pretty light if it happens at all, the cold nights have shut down the insects and birds are starting to head south. It is my favorite time of year.

No, the judges looked at the laws and determined that the activity is under Federal jurisdiction.

Since you are unhappy the thing to do is get the law changed to exclude prediction markets from the laws regulating futures contracts.

I happen to agree with you by the way. The Commerce Clause was way over extended back in the days of FDR. If there is no physical product crossing the border it should be under the State's jurisdiction. The prediction markets do not want to set up 50 different companies so want to stay under the Federal umbrella for obvious reasons.

Capacity factor is what they look up. Take the headline number and divide by three for wind and four for solar. Keep in mind wind and solar both go to zero on a routine basis.

Obligatory graph, green line is wind plus solar.

In Eastern Washington the heat wasn't an issue but it was warm enough the precipitation fell as rain and caused a bit of flooding including washing out part of US highway 2. I do not dispute the snow deficit.

On the other hand my winter electric bill was two-thirds of usual. (All electric house.)

Speaking as a former submariner boredom is good.

No more than 10% of your portfolio should be in high-risk assets. That's a very old rule and still applies.

I just added the fifth hard drive to my 2010 Mac Pro. Besides the video card it also have a USB 3 card and an NVME to PCI card. It works fine, I even got Fedora to talk to the old Broadcom WiFi card.

If the price changes on lettuce while I'm wandering through the rest of the store how does it not charge me the new price at the checkout?

If the price only changes when the store is closed anyway then there is no issue.

We do have such laws. I've caught a discrepancy several times, twice at the same store in the same month. I no longer go to that store.

The issue is you have to remember what the shelf price was, then notice while checking out that it has increased, stop the line and demand a price check.

Are you willing to be Kevin or Karen for five minutes? It depends on how much it is. And some people just won't.

That's an interesting point. In my case I'm out of range of broadcast TV and there is no cable service either. It's satellite, streaming, or nothing.

I chose nothing.

The TV station is 120 miles away, the advertising on that station is of no value, I'm not driving a 240 mile trip for shopping in some store in that city. Do the advertisers know that the audience numbers the station claims include people who are not ever going to visit the store? Are the advertising rates adjusted appropriately?

That was funny. Even if think Bari Weiss is Goebbels and add on Fox you still have ABC, NBC, MS NBC and of course NPR on the hardest of the hard left side.

The we have The Atlantic (graciously accept your subservience to the European elite) and VOX, (total enslavement to the All-Glorious State is the highest calling of human-kind.) There is also the New York Times (The deep state is your friend, trust the deep state.)

If you want to be a subject of an All-Glorious State move to Europe.
