The local version of this in southern California is the Banh Mi, a Vietnamese sandwich on a baguette. Less than 10 years ago you could get a good banh mi for 3 or 4 bucks, and these days even the cheapest I've seen are $6.50 and many places are charging over $10 for this perfect sandwich. At least double in under 10 years :(

That's not really true. Mostly it's him struggling to describe all the ways that he's been one of the better progressive presidents despite having a completely non functional congress and outright hostile court. The only message that sticks is how awful Trump is because it's easy to say and understand, and is obviously true to some and obviously false to others.

Fix the issue with read posts. Can't stand having to see the same top posts over and over again.

This is from 2022, it is not news. Are there any more recent articles on this? How'd it go?

Clickbait.

Article is nearly 10 years old.

Article contains no studies or surveys showing this result.

The 50% figure is calculated by assuming a paltry annual raise and consistent large pay bumps by switching companies.

Cheap drivers that drive the cheap LED modules too hot without enough cooling.

The lightbulbs thing was (possibly) different. There's some physical limits on the performance of lightbulbs so the time to failure test was more of a proxy to make sure bulbs of a certain wattage were outputting similar strength and color light.

I don't know if there were other reasons this glass tech didn't catch on besides the obvious capitalism issues, but the lightbulb thing is definitely a misunderstood piece of trivia.

They don't do shit about the sound and smell of the two stroke motors. That's the sound that pierces noise canceling headphones.

You can set the taskbar stuff to stay on the left, at least in the version of win11 I use for work.

I hate that I can't tell if video game, render, or AI generated anymore.
