I just installed KDE on my Ubuntu install. I wish I had explored KDE more before installing. I'm slowly wishing I had gone with Fedora's KDE spin since so many pieces are moving so quickly right now for gaming and graphics in general. Ubuntu being feature cautious is a little annoying.

Oh it gets worse and still only in NWS area. All of the severe weather alerts from thunderstorms to hurricanes are also done by NWS. Not to mention the radio stations they broadcast all of that information on that are also used to help tune antennas and receivers.

This would kill thousands of people every year. And it's mostly red states that would feel the biggest burden of being hurt. It does not make any sense except to acknowledge that the people writing P2025 really do not give 2 flying shits about anyone but themselves.

Toss these guys a few bucks the next time your plan is up for renewal and see what rate you can get. Usually TXU is on the high side. https://www.texaspowerguide.com/

As someone who lives somewhere flat, driving in the mountains is different due to the amount if focus and control I have to put into making sure I'm always in the lane. Going from a slightly curve every 2 miles to a sharp winding bend every 0.1 miles is a huge difference!

I fully agree with the prioritization of meeting basic needs before luxury. The detail I would like see happen is making sure that people have a chance to see more than their own area at some point in their lives. See how other people live for a time. I do think there can be better connections for humanity when we can see the lives of others.

I took a trip with some college buddies. We went on a cruise and stopped in Nassau and some of them had some real shock seeing a city with not as much wealth. The just hadn't considered that clean streets, sidewalks, and traffic lights didn't exist everywhere.
