I know of one, PAL-V, that is a flying car that is street legal and can be ordered right now. It's 500 grand and needs a pilot license. Those flying cars are not for the poor.

That's Putin's doing. His bluff was strong and he had a big pile of material, so the West is using a Russia technique known as the salami slice method, by slowly escalating and gauging the reaction from Putin. It means no world war 3 scenario, no allies that have to come to his defense and also not letting Putin taking whatever he wants with just bluff and threatening speeches. It is costly in lives and material though.

For even more fun, add in the children of Gaza wanting to escalate upward in the same way as Israel did and Iran becoming a nuclear power. If those two things ever combine things can get very ugly.

Same with water usage. Everybody has to reduce water, not wash cars while industry and agriculture who use like ¾ of the water don't do anything

Usually people will work less hard to save some energy for that extra day of work they have to do.

In the past, son. That's prices from just after the dot com boom. Where I live now, they don't really do delivery.

€15.99 for three pizza with free delivery and a €3 discount for picking it up yourself. It's s weird way to say €12.99 and €3 for delivery

Oh, it's now tied into Xbox Live so you need an Xbox account, get achievements, collectibles, challenges and making it ad free requires a subscription of €1.99 per month. Not shitting you.
