When youre dropping 50-70K per vehicle, an extra 10k 15-20 years down the line isn't really a big deal. Also the average life of a vehicle is around 12 years. Most of these people will be on to their 2nd or 3rd electric car by then or whatever propulsion is popular at that time...
Back in the day, I knew what I would get from ASUS and their AURA tech. Pretty simple, just choose what you want and go. My LEDs did what I wanted, it was simple. But no… no they said. Instead we want you to download most of a gig of bullshit to do the same thing, but with extra fucking steps....
I yearn for the day when this lighting fad dies...my case has no plexiglass yet my ram motherboard and video card has lights...I'm surprised Intel doesn't have LEDs on their processors yet ..
Gotta Rant: American insurance really really sucks sometimes...Im not young, but not too old and I very rarely use it. But every time i do, it just fails to deliver and is as useful as an expired gift card. Our company insurance isn't cheap either, i pay about $250 a month and the company covers the other 75%. So recently, i had some eye pain and working in front of a PC all day my eyes are kinda important so i look up an optometrist on the insurance provider's site and make an appointment. I go see the doctor and get when i leave i pay for the service out of pocket and they said they would reimburse me once they receive payment from insurance. There was an issue submitting the claim, but i worked that out about three weeks ago. Today, i checked and my claim was reject and the reason they gave was that the doctor was out of network and im like I found them through your friggin website...WTF...so i got pissed and wrote a bad review on BBB and will appeal the claim but this is just BS. The amount wasn't that high about $135, but i should have just paid a $25 deductible and be on my way. problem here is if i cant trust this insurance for something small like this, i feel like ill be totally screwed if i end up needing something more urgent...anyways, insurance here sucks ass...

God damn why are some of my fellow Americans so God damn stupid...just watched a law video on YT about Californians who had their home insurance cancelled and you got these morons in the comments saying dumb things like they can't make money or that laws here prevent insurance companies from making money. Never have I heard such a miserable take
The mainstream press seems to be catching on the fact that we're likely in the middle of a new COVID wave, even in the EU. Most of the articles tend to minimize the problem. I'm waiting for the post-summer articles about employers being unable to find people to work: WHeRe haVe tHEy GOne!?

LoglineWhen the USS Enterprise investigates an attack on a colony at the edge of Federation space, Captain Pike and his crew face the return of a formidable enemy....
Just watched this and my biggest gripe with Star Trek will always be that the federation ships are just way too weak. Yes they aren't supposed to be a battle force, but any moderately powerful enemy and they are toast...at least they had that special crate of better weapons, but why not just make that the norm? Finally, what good are the force fields if everything inside of the ship is getting wrecked with each hit? And send more friggin ships...
Yes i realize that it gives them time to basically run away or end up like the other ship in lil pieces floating in space...basically have to rely on some type of trick to win...kevlar vest also doesnt let the bullet wreck your organs, did you not see the people getting tossed around inside the hsip?
Just brought me back to Picard S03 where the Titan, one of their more powerful ships btw, getting folded by some pirate ship with a portal weapon...sigh...
Russia’s largest known military equipment storage facility has been stripped of nearly half of the Soviet-era tanks and armored vehicles that were stored on its grounds before Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, The Moscow Times’ Russian service reported, analyzing satellite imagery of the storage site.
Can't lie. I loved seeing those f*ckers in Alabama get their asses handed to them by the Black men and women who showed up to defend the dock worker. I can only imagine how sick and tired of racist assholes Black Americans must feel at this point. They've been supremely calm in the face of so much hate, but perhaps they're hitting their tolerance walls. I mean, a Black man jumped in the river and swam to defend the guy. That's a high level of 'pissed off and not willing to take it any more.'

I also like the "you get what you vote for" comments about CA. WE voted for the best candidate out there at the time for Gov., we've had both parties in the past and they were a mixed lot...the guy who lost during the last recall election was dragging around a live bear to do press events and didnt have much of a position on anything relevant and he lost...
