"Morrison, of the firefighters advocacy group, added that “firefighters are concerned that flame retardants contribute to their very high cancer rates.” "

Firefighters union (IAFF) is currently having to sue the governing body (NFPA) to remove carcinogens in the clothes (bunker gear/turnouts) they wear.

There's hundreds of great games on pc to play without all the focus on graphics. You just can't focus on industry giant game devs. Go play Stardew Valley, or Hades, or Subnautica.

The author has completely missed the MAIN reason the campaign was good in 2009 and isn't, now.

In 2009 the mindset was still that you needed a good single player game to get sales of a game. By 2015 call of duty had it figured out that they could almost completely ignore shoestringing a half asked campaign together and still get massive sales because their players were buying it for the multi-player, and all the money to be made by their fan boys buying it was in the multi-player.

What's hard now is finding a private sale from the vehicles actual owner. Thanks to Facebook and lazy half assed pieces of crap, almost every cheap used car listed on Facebook marketplace is one being flipped instead of one being sold by a long term owner.

Actually (even though you sound sarcastic, for the most part), you can buy windscribe on the Google play store. I use the Google rewards apk that gives me bits of change for for use in the play store by taking pictures of receipts or answering surveys. I earn more than $30 a year doing that, and so that's how I get my windscribe vpn. So, yeah. You can do it without any money.

Windscribe is cheap. Just buy it. Like $30 a year.

Darn. At least it's something, I guess.

Short time? We've been kind of stuck for decades on the same tech and working to try and find something else.

For sure. They would likely use a lower capacity battery due to these being much less energy dense, though. Hybrids have been using bigger batteries and only using around a 30% zone of charge state in order to greatly prolong battery degradation. I'd imagine auto makers would try to keep the batteries around the same size, but start using more like a 60 or 70% zone, though. So they'll take advantage of that higher cycle life.

You won't get an automaker to care about making a battery that lasts much beyond 10 years.
