The article doesn’t even mention the most effective coping mechanisms… Phone banking and door knocking. Turn your anxiety into action!

Phone banking and door knocking are evidence-based to improve turnout and at this point the race really is just about getting people to actually vote.

While important info, it’s a long read that doesn’t really provide much new information about “future scenarios” to be aware of.

Nah, this was a concession both Democrats and Senate Republicans were asking for. They hope to have a full budget deal finished before a new administration so there’s a clean slate for either incoming president

When there’s more people who want to buy homes than there are homes for sale, the power dynamic is still in favor of the sellers. Sounds like this could potentially favor more experienced buyers/hedge funds over first-time home buyers. If sellers don’t want to cover fees for buyer’s agent, then that’s more a first time buyer would have to pay upfront.

Agreed! This is just the beginning, I’m convinced this was the plan all along for most smart devices. I will make an exception for products that can be conveniently operated when an account/app is optional at least.

Kroger and Albertsons own a ton of “other grocery chains.” Classic example of just simply buying up the competition

I echo the other commenter and recommend speaking with a “registered dietician” (RD degree) about your personal nutrition goals.

Calories in/out, physical activity levels, and genetics are three of the biggest factors with blood cholesterol levels. Would you overall eat fewer calories if you switched to low fat dairy? Maybe then it’s a decent strategy for you.

Harvard’s Nutrition Source is a great educational resource about nutrition that is science based and uses accessible language.

Easy, buy up a bunch of land for conservation

Already has been. The “slow down” in EV sales is almost entirely from Tesla and I’d guess a lot of that is from how disliked he is by the main demographic of people buying EVs

The Ioniqs have much smaller screens than the EV industry average, and many more physical buttons than industry average. The only time I really touch the touch screen is related to the Android Auto GPS/Google Maps, or very rarely I’m fiddling with a setting in my driveway.

There is a noticeable difference in EVs with AWD vs FWD, because the drive wheels all have independent motors. More motors= more power. As other commenters said, the main other consideration is if you have snow.

We’ve really enjoyed our Hyundai Ioniq 5 crossover SUV. It has a ton of leg room (I’m 6’2" and can fully stretch out my legs), 300 miles of range, and more acceleration than any car I’ve ever owned. The cost of charging at home is about 70% less than we were paying for gas, plus there’s almost no maintenance needed (e.g. there’s no oil to change). With super chargers on road trips Hyundai and Kia EVs can charge from 10%-80% in about 15 mins for slightly less than the cost of gas.

Drone on drone warfare! Makes you wonder what sort of cold war is playing out.

The article details issues with pharmaceutical benefit managers, which 2 of the big 3 are owned by insurance companies and the third is owned by CVS

Plastic production is also one of the dirtiest industries in terms of air and water pollution… I doubt China has strong enough environmental standards

Paywalled, but I’m gonna go with fossil fuel trap. We need to be completely off fossil fuels by about 2050. Any new major natural gas infrastructure being built now is expected to last longer than 2050. Even new residential gas furnaces are probably expected to last around 20 years or so.

That only affects Kia models before 2015

It’s hard, but there are more adults in the U.S. alive today who have successfully quit smoking than currently smoke.

Something about the regulations of these giant container ships has to change moving forward

Ours was 50 amp, which seems to be pretty common for 30-36in wide cooktops

Yeah we went with the GE Profile 36in induction cooktop.

It’s more responsive than either gas or electric coils. The catch is you need pans that a fridge magnet will stick to. A trip to the thrift store with a magnet worked out for us.
