Is there oil underneath or will this be a good place to build a datacenter? This is obviously intentional. The foreclosed properties will be sold for the price of the debt, probably back to the developer.

"In summary, men’s advantage in strength tends to show over short distances, while women’s endurance appears advantageous over longer distances. The extent of these differences, however, varies by sport and by course type (LCM vs. SCM vs. SCY)."

-your link

edit: Also, look at the graphs in the swim link. The trend lines clearly show there's a distance where the difference will reach 0% and guess what happens after!

The difference doesn't just decrease, it inverts. Where that inversion threshold exists I assume varies from sport to sport and is probably worthy of a few different doctoral dissertations.

For reference, Subaru had "plans" to release an EV car back in 2005. Let's see if they finally follow through 24 years later.

And their US market just happens to overlap with the EV early adopter market. Symmetrical all-wheel drive, the thing that snow drivers need, is easy peasy for an electric.

It was never going to be a jump straight to EV (although the concept car model type still doesn't exist to this day), they knew the path was to go hybrid first. They've made some weak attempts at hybrids but they have fallen so far behind in EV development at this point that they soon will only be selling rebadged Toyotas. There's no way that's sustainable for an auto manufacturer.

"Subaru is killing off gas cars and will only sell rebadged Toyota EVs in Europe."

Subaru was talking about an electric model over 20 years ago! I saw the concept drawings. Whoever has run Subaru for the last 20 years needs to be given a watch and thanked for their service on their way out the door.

You forgot one important detail, the average price of homes in Berkeley. Anybody spending $1M on a 2/1 craftsman bungalow is going to also drop a few extra dollars on landscaping.

Serious question, do better how? What if reusable rockets and S3XY cars were the breakthroughs and everything after is just meh?

Judging all self-driving tech by one brand is as ridiculous as judging all hamburgers by one from McDonalds. Hyundai's capability is years behind Tesla and Waymo because they started actual years later than the best.

Necessity is the mother of invention and I can only imagine the volume of necessity that your environment demands. If fighting is not an option, can you use your skills to make some lemonade out of a giant bowl of lemons?

Hang in there. This, too, shall pass.

Are there drone storms also in French Guiana?
