  1. I used to buy used cars but my current two cars were bought new because I keep my cars until they fall apart and found that used cars were not as cost-effective. I have a 2014 Sienna XLE that I paid 35k including tax that still runs like new, and a 2021 Honda Clarity PHEV less than a year back for 31K including tax and nets to 22.5K after 1K state and 7.5K federal tax rebates. It is such a good car with ~50 miles of pure EV and about 50mpg afterwards. I (my daughter mostly) drove ~2000 miles between the last two gas fillings since we charge every night and her commute is about 45 miles.
  2. The main thread is moving too fast, so I'll post it here. This talk by a Professor at Univ of Chicago is about 6.5 years old and covers up to Crimea, but his points are quiet prescient. His point seems that we are thinking in 21st century ideas whereas Putin's understanding is based on 20th century rules, and China is a far bigger concern to focus on. He foresees the wrecking of Ukraine.

  4. My ex-manager was an Armenian soldier and spent time in a Russian jail. He said that nobody messed with the Chechens in the jail, even the Russian guards. Tough people who fought to keep their independence for centuries and lost 60% of their population under WW2 Soviet purge.
  5. Exactly, and this is the reason for support in the US. Trump is just a clown act to a real feeling among many, from Buchanan to Bannon, that the Christian/Western civilization is ending with the rise of progressives/atheism/globalism, and any option is fair game to maintain traditional Christian way of life. (Don't think too deeply as to what being a Christian actually means, but only in terms of traditional values.)
  6. another one with multiple options Wordle 243 4/6* ⬛⬛🟩⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

  9. hmmm, names? Wordle 239 4/6* ⬛⬛⬛🟨⬛ ⬛🟨🟨🟨🟨 ⬛🟨🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  10. Well, besides the obvious miss that gave the TD to Bengals, LA TD was also called back due to holding. Doesn't look like the refs favored LA, either in the middle or the end.
  11. A math version sounds more unstructured and hence more difficult. Need to do a few to confirm. nerdlegame 24 3/6 🟪⬛⬛⬛🟩🟩🟪⬛ ⬛🟩⬛🟩⬛⬛🟪⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 https://nerdlegame.com #nerdle
  12. I think it is just a biological copy. The actual personality is anyone's guess. You just have make sure to set the dial accordingly.
  13. this took way too long Wordle 237 5/6 ⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟨⬛🟨🟨 ⬛🟨🟨🟨⬛ 🟨⬛⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  14. This one is not for your team Wordle 236 3/6* ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟩⬛⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  15. One "secret" he reveals is that the list of Wordle words is visible in the website.
  16. SIAP. People who like math (and associated physics/computer science) may already know about 3blue1brown on youtube, one of my favorite channels. Here, he tackles the best strategy for Wordle using information theory.
  17. easy word with multiple possibilities Wordle 234 5/6* ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  18. I thought of this too but realized that in such extreme weather and north latitude, probably they are not practical. With sun absent for 6 months and low over the horizon the rest of the time, batteries requiring heating to be functional, and probably wind turbine also requiring winterization to work, gas generators may be the only feasible year-around solution.
  19. He lives about 80 miles from Fairbanks. There is a Costco in Fairbanks.
  20. Another case of multiple possibilities. I got it at the 3rd option. Wordle 229 4/6* ⬛🟨🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  21. easier word Wordle 228 3/6* 🟨⬛⬛🟨⬛ 🟨⬛🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  22. good guess Wordle 227 2/6* 🟩⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  23. Rams are favored. Being a bay area resident, I am supporting 49ers, but they are a 6th seed for a reason.
  24. Don't let the WRs/TE get a free release and make Mahomes dink and dunk. Be the opposite of last week's opponent.
  25. Why let them score? It's not as if the score is tied. Holding for FG is possible.
