Oh....that will change. Most people that are progressive enough to purchase electric vehicles are not buying new Tesla's. I mean, hell, look at the regret that some people have over it ("I purchased this before Elon went crazy!", etc.).

It's almost half that at 4.2% as of Nov.2024.

Oh, lol.....they think people are only going to target other healthcare CEO's? That's fucking adorable.

Most people that are making that kind of money are pretty smart. They have multiple investment strategies, multiple places that they store their money, and typically have some sort of easily accessible nest egg (like a mutual fund or crypto). I guarantee about 3/4 of them have enough to last AT LEAST 6-8 months without a job before things started getting a little tight.

If your living within your means and making that kind of money, you don't really have to worry about losing a job or things breaking down, or other big issues (short of medical emergencies).

Did it have the story telling depth of a legendary movie? Gods no....but it was fun. Felt exactly like the old Beetlejuice cartoons when I was a kid. I think people need to lower their expectations and just have a bit of fun sometimes. Not every movie should be a life-altering experience.

This entire comment section is a mess of people who apparently don't understand that companies are just listing out the things they want. If they find someone that meets those requirements, then fucking awesome.....otherwise, they will still take people in for interviews that meet a majority of those requirements. You think they'll really pass on someone that has only 7 years experience in this hyper specific role when they are looking for 10?

You don't have to meet every single requirement.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha .....no....no they aren't.

He lied about pretty much his entire agenda, and a majority of Americans have no idea what Project 2025 is. The survey is an absolute joke.

It should have been Luigi then.

Yeah, a LOT of people will technically be a "millionaire" by the time they are his age, when you consider property and investments. Hell, most engineers, doctors, lawyers, and such will also have about the same level of net worth, if not more.

How can you look at a picture of this dude and then at Luigi and come to the conclusion that it's the same guy?

It's gotten everyone in our family and recently just got my daught 4 times yesterday. They are extremely painful and you feel waves of pain for hours. And just ONE OF THEM is capable of doing that. These bastards need to die, and I'm hoping you can help or point me in the direction of a community that can.

Any ideas?

 

I tried my hand at making a starter years ago and it went poorly. I was gifted some starter earlier this week and have been bulking it up in order to bake some bread this weekend. The starter is MUCH better than any of the ones I've ever made, so Ive had high hopes all week that my sourdough will actually come out decent this time.

I've been following this recipe, and it's been going....not well. Everything was weighed to the gram, including the starter, and "lukewarm" water was about 80ish degrees. The dough is so unbelievably sticky that I can barely scrape it off the sides of the bowl.

Is this normal? It's been years since I've done this so I'm back to questioning everything. I'm planning to just drop the whole thing into a Dutch oven and cook it, but I understand that I'm deviating from the recipe. My Dutch oven cooks were just so much better.

Cna anyone provide a better recipe for just a basic sourdough boule that you've had decent success with? I'd really like to continue baking bread, but I know for a fact that I'll wind up giving up again if I have too many failures (I think I baked 8 different times a few years ago, and I gave up because they were always so dense, and flat.). Really want something with a good, fluffy, stretchy crumb.

Any advice or questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

A University of Virginia professor believes he has discovered how to create a freeze-ray device, inspired by the Batman villain, Mr. Freeze. Rather than being a weapon, this device is intended to cool down electronics within spacecraft and high-altitude jets.

 

A tiny, hard-working bacterium -- which weighs one-trillionth of a gram -- may soon have a large influence on processing rare earth elements in an eco-friendly way.

"Traditional thermochemical methods for separating lanthanides are environmentally horrible," said Buz Barstow, assistant professor of biological and environmental engineering at Cornell, the corresponding author. "It's difficult to refine these elements. That's why we send rare earth elements offshore -- generally to China -- to process them."

 

Not sure how useful it is yet, but it sounds like with some AI and proper cameras you could use it to completely repair certain components. Theres something similar to this using electrochemical plating to repair microfractures throughout a component - only downside is that it takes like weeks to do it properly (I'll see if I can dig up the paper later)
