They're really only worse in the sense that they can be louder. In a datacenter/mining rig/etc where you don't care about noise at all, they're pretty much the best solution to cooling a large amount of cards as they blow air out near the outputs instead back into the rack.

Health care system "collapse": Doctors, experts sound alarm over Puerto Rico's medical system (www.cbsnews.com)

“The collapse is caused mainly by debt and the economic crisis in Puerto Rico and historic privatization of the health care system there. Our research shows patients are waiting for six to eight months to get an appointment with a specialist. If that’s not a sign of collapse, I don’t know what is,” said Varas-Diaz.

Yep. It's what's gotten my father to pull his head out of his ass regarding public Healthcare. His last argument was longer wait times in Canada/UK, and the difference us pretty much gone. Broken doesn't even begin to describe it.

Not sure where you pulled 8000lbs from, even a fully speced out expedition isn't going to be 6000lbs. Most non full sized ones, especially ones like the CRV or escape or something are under 4,000lbs. A model 3 weighs more than the majority of those smaller SUVs.

Don't try to take this as any sort of pro-suv or anti-ev message, quite the opposite. Spouting incorrect bullshit makes people less likely to believe the actual facts, such as the increase of SUVs and trucks quite literally killing us.

Israel, Hamas agree deal for release of Gaza hostages, truce (www.reuters.com)

GAZA/TEL AVIV, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Israel’s government and Hamas agreed on Wednesday to a four-day pause in fighting to allow the release of 50 hostages held in Gaza in exchange for 150 Palestinians imprisoned in Israel, and the entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave.

Continued complacency by people bitching about candidates not being good enough is how we're on the knifes edge of destroying our democracy here in the states.

There's the potential that the root cause behind the firing could end up having ramifications in the AI/wider tech sector. There's no evidence pointing towards anything right now so all of this is purely theoretical, but if he was for example somehow covering up major financial issues that severely impact OpenAI, you could see that effect the industry as a whole.

Decades and decades of fossil fuel company FUD about nuclear that they managed to get the greens to buy into a long time ago.

If anything, “Sunshine and rainbows” renewables are a psyop to help entrench fossil fuels long-term.

Specifically in regards to the "if it's not perfect we shouldn't even try" crowd, that's exactly what it is. Imperfect solutions we can implement now are infinitely better than perfect solutions that come years too late

You're right the world isn't going to end. But the water shortages, refugee criseses that make anything we've ever seen look like nothing, losing significant amounts of coastline, and much more frequent much more extreme weather sure as fuck is going to reduce quality of life significantly.

If facing the reality we're in causes you to go "oh well I give up", that's a you problem. Acknowledging that were in for a real tough time if people don't start taking this seriously isn't the problem, the fact that people aren't taking it seriously is.

IKEA Family is a membership program, like grocery store memberships. The only real feature of the program was their 5% discount. But now, they are getting rid of it to focus on “New Lower Price offers”. I’m not holding my breath that their prices are going to come down anytime soon....

I would be incredibly surprised if it were intentional. Every single player there knows exactly what doing that would mean.

Freak accidents happen, especially in hockey. Malarchuk had his throat slashed by a skate, Pronger took a slapshot to the chest that stopped his heart, and Peverley and Bouwmeester have randomly collapsed on the bench. Somehow all of those managed to survive, it's honestly a miracle it doesn't happen more often.

Everything about the invasion relied on Ukraine not putting up enough of a fight to warrant support from the west.

Which was a fair assumption, if they simply ignored the massive amount of work Ukraine put into getting their military into shape since 2014
