I'm quite intrigued, but I can't find listings for a $60k EV6 GT anywhere. Can you give me some more info?

I see tons of $35k listings, but maybe they are confusing GT with GT-Line? Or it depreciated by 2x over the past couple years?

One of the most effective ways you can personally help protect night sky is by installing downward facing lights with caps!

No need to waste energy lighting up the sky; direct it toward what you need illuminated.

Also, the company the article mentions is Reflect Orbital.

Love the idea of harnessing more sun, but really disturbed by the potential destruction of darkness that it could cause when deployed at scale.

Life on Earth evolved with the night.

The average color of all galaxies in the universe is this color. Other proposed names were "Astronomer Almond" and "Big Bang Buff" among others. While working on some CSS I came across this and it tickled my fancy!

My family has been assembling a DVD collection for the past couple years and it's really starting to pay off. Wow, I own this media and can play it whenever I want without ads, and fear of it randomly disappearing or having scenes cut out of it? It really feels like magic.

I've got a record player coming tomorrow. My song streaming service of choice keeps jacking up prices and now feeds me AI slop; it's time for a change.

I suspect kids growing up right now will experience a renaissance of physical media from fed-up parents.

I bought an HP Reverb G2 for DCS about 5 years ago and it worked great. When Windows started deprecating the Mixed Reality services random things started breaking, though.

I know many hackers read avherald. This is a really bizarre lawsuit that forced Simon to sell his apartment to cover legal costs.

From professional wrestling / carny language: a "work" is something staged for the crowd, whereas a "shoot" (straight shooting) is something that actually happened.

Yes, I credit Scratch as leading to my fulfilling career. I made so many games and simulations! Spending hours over the summer creating operating systems, animations, puzzles, and so on.

This was when Scratch was still a downloaded program. The community was also really encouraging back then - you'd see adults and kids commenting on new projects and cheering people on, remixing, and sharing knowledge.

Yes? Toyota has been producing vehicles since the 30s, so two years ago is quite recent within context.

A dead simple, deterministic threshold alert on the pod restart metric in any monitoring tool could also surface this same issue.

In fact, it happened to me today at work!

It's not "Most Swiss", it's 52% of survey respondants (8,411 people) out of the 9.1 million population.

Hey, sorry about that! I have a half-hearted "premium" feature tier of which PDF is one.

I just deleted that particular if-statement so you should be able to export.

It's not anything fancy, but gets the job done. Uses pdf-lib.
