In small datasets, the speed difference is minimal; but, once you get to large datasets with hundreds of thousands to millions of entries they do make quite a difference. For example, you're a large bank with millions of clients, and you want to get a list of the people with the most money in an account. Depending on the sorting algorithm used, the processing time could range from seconds to days. That's also only one operation, there's so much other useful information that could be derived from a database like that using sorting.

I like how you sent a screenshot of a failed attempt

So what you're saying is we destroy the unclean power sources

I'm pretty sure it's because the use of absurd amounts of high fructose corn syrup. There's 39g (can't confirm, I got it from Google) of sugar in a 12oz (340ml) can. US soda is pretty much just carbonated high fructose corn syrup water with a bit of flavoring. There's probably other significant differences too since the US has barely the minimum food safety laws.

Anxious but looking forward to moving out. Things just have been really rough on me mentally for the past few years where I currently am and I'm just really looking forward to at least put some of those memories behind me for a while

I'd place the blame more on businesses and dumb managers keeping them afloat since they still think Intel is the best bet for their computers or they're stuck with Intel due to existing contracts. After AMD came in and bitch slapped Intel with Zen, a lot of the community switched teams and went over to AMD for CPUs but most businesses haven't yet.

For anyone curious, I couldn't find an exact statistics but hearing aids in the US cost between $2000 to $8000 per pair with the average costs sitting around $5000-$6000 per pair.

Insurance coverage varies per insurance provider and per state. It looks like many people will end up paying the maximum required by law before insurance takes over which is roughly between $1000-$3000 depending on state.

Not only is a single purchase expensive, you usually have to replace them every 3 to 5 years.

I'd place the blame on the Democrats pushing such an unlikable candidate, Hillary Clinton, that they couldn't move enough people to vote to get past the electoral college bias. There's also the fact that most people thought "How bad could Trump be. He looks honest and confident in what he says" and a lot of positive media around that time being about Trump.

This time, we have Kamala Harris who's actually really good at campaigning and getting support. The move the Democrats pulled managed to derail the GOP Propaganda machines (like Faux News) and put the positive focus on Harris instead of Trump.

Regardless of what is happening in the Republican side, we still need to vote since this could be our last chance to vote.

No no, he needs to stay in. He needs to keep saying this shit and driving everyone away from voting Trump. Since JD Vance is a narcissistic, power hungry couch fucker, he won't leave Trump's campaign willingly which is exactly what we need.

Thing is, the more articles about Trump lying, no matter how normal it is, would bring it to the attention of more people. The more people the message reaches that convicted felon and rapist Trump is a pathological liar as well, the more likely the uneducated mass of swing state voters will not vote for Trump.

Social media is not a reliable way to spread news since the algorithms tailor content for each individual person so the average swing state voter may not ever see posts about Trump being quite possibly one of the worst pieces of shit to exist.
