The dichotomy of "only 10% of the world's energy" coming from a mere 439 nuclear reactors is stunning. It's amazing that we've let some sloppy siting and mostly irrational fears stop us from building a bunch more. If we had actually been building and improving the engineering of nuclear power plants for the past 40…

And don't forget, Fukishima were using old technology that was not up to date and therefore was not as safe as current technology is.

I have a slight suspicion that he doesn't know what iSCSI really is and how it really works. But I mean to each their own. Maybe he has a magic DOCSIS 5.0 modem that supports jumbo packets! Maybe Amazon ran fiber directly to his basement! WHO KNOWS!

Hey Alissa,

Mandatory voting is a horrible idea. Not only does it go against the very freedoms of association (or not associating) that we enjoy, it also dilutes the voting pool.

Them dastardly Republicans. Trying to protect people from the Marxist state you are so willing to construct.

Mandatory voting would require a voter ID of some sort. And as Democrats love to remind us...voter ID laws are racist and bigoted.

So much facepalm.

At least the watch comes with a picture of what Earth used to look like.

Admittedly, what makes the iphone shitty to me is less the actual device or its specs and more its brand and what it represents.

I'm an apple hater for good reasons and I don't care if you like that or not.

yup. it costs exactly 207$ to produce an 16GB iPhone, in terms of buying all the labour and materials necessary. The rest of the revenue goes to fund the Apple employee's massive salaries, the Apple stores, etc. with profits increasing with scale.

Clearly you're afraid of that scary black Malibu. That's the reason you gave for not stopping: you'd be afraid to stop.

Making claims that the cop somehow was about to kill the biker is an outright lie!

The speed was down to a crawl when the attempt to pin him happened. Hardly life threatening.

I hope the moron chasing and filming this is arrested.

The bike was evading. Should have pinned him enough to stop him. How is it today the criminals are now the victims?

This point is often lost when viewing interest rates w/o a historical perspective. Not that it works this way for every generation, but consider:

My grandparents purchased their house in 1960, their 30 year mortgage required payments of $175 per month. At the time, it was 30% of their income. By the time 1990 rolled…

You don't need to be a smart market investor to beat 3%-5% returns. You just need to by a few index funds and leave them alone.

A smart markets investor is one that doesn't invest in individual stocks at all. It's usually better to minimize risk through diversified investments rather than putting everything into illiquid assets tied to the value of the same local market. Wu Tang Financial has some great guidance regarding that point.
