Yeah, I’m a new Sonic customer and got their 10gbit service. $40/mo beats any of the other three providers pricing for much lower bandwidth.

However, I only have a gigabit router, so most of that isn’t utilized, assuming that’s true for all my neighbors as well (Sonic’s only offering here is 10gbit)

Perhaps where you drive is safer than where I do. I see dangerous driving multiple times a year and see recent accidents weekly (cars and cops on the side of the road).

According to the NTSB:

"On the highways 100 people (are killed) a day," he said. "Every two days we are killing the equivalent of a Boeing 737 crashing. [0]

Obviously, not all directly a result of “insanely dangerous” driving (including the primary topic of that article). But, my definition would include driving that results in fatal accidents.

This is inaccurate. Even in mild symptom cases, vaccinated and unvaccinated infections harbour the same levels of viral load. The Delta variant is able to grow in the noses of vaccinated people to the same degree as if they were not vaccinated at all and both groups can unknowingly and unwittingly transmit the virus for 3 days before experiencing any symptoms in 75% of the Delta variant infections.

It's more nuanced than peak viral loads clearance rate is important. there is research suggesting that vaccines do reduce transmission, though that benefit may not last as long as one would hope.

Thunderstorms are likely rare in this location. Most of coastal California only experiences such storms less than once a year, depending on when they begin nesting any rain at all may not be common, as typically they is little rain from April to October.

Under current US tax law the original value of an asset is rebased upon death. Thus, you can borrow against an asset, such as stocks, and then your heirs can repay the loan immediately after your death and pay zero capital gains.

This only costs you the interest of the loan and exposes you to the risk of declining value in the assets securing the loan. Appreciation of the assets or dividends may fully offset the interest or more.

Additionally if you a founder, for example, you retain the influence/control of your company that you derive from the stock ownership, while still be able to enjoy their cash value.

It appears that rotenone (a powerful piscicide) is actually banned [0]. Same document also indicated that copper sulfate use is limited to specific situations/crops. Though, of course, conventional crops also have restriction on the use of pesticides, presumably they are less restricted.

edit: This, of course, only applies to the USDA organic program. Products produced elsewhere may have different rules.

The letter only mentions Greenwald to appropriately credit his reporting along with hers for the founding basis of The Intercept. Otherwise the mention of his departure from The Intercept is notably absent.

Much of the cow diet is actually corn and soy, especially for US beef production cattle. There are emissions from the fertilizer inputs to corn and soy as well as emissions from the transportation of corn and soy from field to cow.
