The changes for the watch were also very uninspiring this year.

Electric bills aren't calculated by the Watt, you pay per kWh. The expected cost of running the fridge is the salient information.

Yet the service into my home and each individual circuit has a maximum on received power so the Watt is usually more pertinent anyways. Taking an average Watt usage value and extrapolating that into kWh/month is both incredibly easy and completely standardized.

0.108 x 168 hours/wk x 4.4 wks/month gives a good approximation for kwh/month. Demand over time gives consumption just fine.

A 75% drop is nice and much improved.

I first heard the phrase used by parent in a video [1] by youtube channel Not Just Bikes, which found EVs to be similar to ICE cars at typical speeds.

I find EVs noticeably quieter, but the "typical speeds" here in Copenhagen are properly lower than where you live.

At 30km/h or so, the main noise is the engine, so EVs are quieter (as the video says).

I would think that majority-minority districts would arise more naturally with smaller districts. Currently the average district covers over three quarters of a million people, more than the population of Seattle. Something like fifty thousand people per district would give the neighborhood of Harlem in NYC four representatives.

You almost have to admire his dedication to just posting through his problems.

Goodbye!

This is up there with the Canadian maple syrup theft in the "Crimes most befitting their country" list.

I shudder to think what the USA's would be, but strong chance it involves Florida Man.

Guns

Tell them to present some evidence or go pound sand? (“You know what they call alternative medicine that's been proved to work? Medicine.” -Tim Minchin)

Or, you know, destroy and deny existence of evidence that was previously abundant and considered obvious. Or move goalposts on what's considered "evidence" at all. Or manufacture mountains of data and statistics to simply drown out anything else.

By 1984 AT&T had been listed on the NYSE for over 80 years.

“The American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) was listed on the NYSE on Sept. 4, 1901. Only 11 other companies have been listed longer than AT&T.“

Yeah, impressively wrong gp! 1984 was when they were broken up by Justice Department.
