I was going to say people can play Shattered Horizon instead. But apparently that one died at some point.
Even Level 1 charging is pretty notable, means the vast majority of your daily miles still come from charging at home. This should be achievable if you have an outside plug and an outdoor extension cable.
Though, I suspect from your statement even that isn’t possible due to ownership issues.
Ah, crap, that I do. I should look at a map whenever I talk about them. It’s stored in my head in this fashion:
The fun part is Russia leads the CSTO, which is the same type of organization as NATO. However, three members have left it, including Azerbaijan Armenia just this year as Russia failed to hold up their commitment when Article 4 (equivalent to NATO’s Article 5) was called when Armenia Azerbaijan took land Russia considered Azerbaijan’s Armenia’s in late 2022.
Edit: Flipped the names. They are now correct.
On that 20-year diagonal, there are only eight of the seventy squares that didn’t have returns higher than inflation. And in every one of those few cases, holding just a few years longer made the investment outpace inflation. When even black swan events don’t break the strategy, this simply is more confirmation that investing in an index fund for long periods of time is a proven strategy.
Note that light-red boxes are investments that outperformed inflation. No clue why they would color making more money than inflation red…
The key phrase is ‘over the long run’ and ‘holding them for years’. That 90yo wants to have long-ago moved their investments into bonds because, as you point out, a stock market downturn may not come back up before they die. Waiting out a downturn takes years and they are drawing down on their investments regularly.
Buying enough lottery tickets to guarantee a payout just ensures you lose money as the house always takes a cut. Investing, unlike the lottery, has the benefit of not being a zero sum game. There is wealth generated and buying something like an index fund and holding for years puts you in the group making a profit along with everyone else.
Example: If you bought VTI (an index fund) just before the 2008 crash (and subsequently lost a bunch of value during the crash), you would still be up 257% today. And that isn’t some outladish example; do the same with the S&P 500 and you are up 279% today. Purchasing for the long term and with a wide array of stocks is investing.
Edit: And in both of those examples you would be earning dividends the entire time as well, which is not part of the quoted %.
Spreading out stock purchases across the market guarantees returns over the long run.
Buying one stock is gambling, buying a wide spread of stocks (or an index fund that does so) and holding them for years is investing.
Yeah, once it easily fits in a pocket next to other stuff, I really just want as much battery life and durability as possible. Then again, I tend to not buy the newest and most expensive phone, so I’m clearly not their target audience. The SE line is a much, much better deal.
The reduction of monitoring is worth it. DJI calls home with your location and even provides tools for police to view the location of drones and drone operators in real time.
That is my current solution. Currently enjoying Factorio, which had the perfect monetization scheme: you buy the game and enjoy it.
At this point to me, review bombed just means many people are unhappy with a product, likely for notable reasons. Any other connotation added would require me to trust the integrity of the journalist using the phrase, which is a bar they have almost universally decided doesn’t matter, particularly when it comes to media journalism of any sort.
Are they going to drop the constant data collection, or is that data collection also considered ‘secure’?
Microsoft admitted that it could have taken steps to prevent two aggressive nation-state cyberattacks from China and Russia
Microsoft spent years ignoring a vulnerability while he proposed fixes to the “security nightmare.” Instead, Microsoft feared it might lose its government contract by warning about the bug and allegedly downplayed the problem, choosing profits over security
Jesus fucking Christ Microsoft.
Edit: OP, the article currently links to page 2, which is a bit odd to read first. Here is page 1.
Yeah, a friend had their basement cement cut and repaired to fix a sewage line. I can’t imagine how much more expensive that would be if they had to worry about the entire basement floor immolating when cut.
why can’t sports just be weight class? why do the genders even need to be split up?
In a specific weight class, top males will win the vast majority of the time over top females. Things like wide hips are not optimal for running, for example.
To bring actual data into the conversation, check out Olympian Women vs High School Boys. High school boys still take the vast majority of the records despite the otherwise crazy disadvantage.
I want one that can do annoying manual labor tasks. ‘Remove all the paint from the concrete porch’ would be a nice command.
Though, with how well AIs are going lately, I could see it deciding to destroy the front door instead if I were to entrust it with a power tool.
I guess the farm really isn’t bringing in the money anymore.
For those who don’t get it, her name is Apple Jack and she works on an apple farm
she was a strong candidate period
She has a negative 11% approval rating, nobody likes her. She is a fucking awful candidate who did terribly in the 2020 primaries and continues to become more unpopular.
‘Just pick a woman’ got the Democrats Kamala Harris. Picking candidates based on their sex is not a great idea and is literally the purest definition of sexism.
Sunless Skies was pretty well made. Certainly a niche game, but a quite well made one.
