If you are standing in your shower (shower thoughts) and try to travel 200 years back, your location in space is not where the solar system, nor the earth was 200 years ago. So there’s that…

Physics-wise, the only conceived ways to time travel to the past is either FTL travel or wormholes, with the latter requiring “exotic matter” to stabilize, and even then, you can’t go back to any arbitrary time. Nobody knows if exotic matter actually exists. FTL seems off the board.

There are mechanisms in place to keep history and the past safe for historians.

I think our global economy is safe.

Up to 128 cores. Not meant for gaming, but it cranks at server tasks, compiling & coding tasks, etc.

There’s a windows dev kit (ARM) that I think is 3ghz: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d/windows-dev-kit-2023

But bleeding edge stuff from MS means likely driver issues, and this isn’t something you’ll throw a dedicated graphics card in.

Still, feels like the tide is changing away from Intel. I too was looking at “ARM for Desktop” options a couple weeks back.

The SCOTUS will not save us. We need to vote.

Don’t count on anyone else to bail us out.

The only way to save democracy is to get voters to the polls. “Hoping” won’t work. Expecting SCOTUS, Norms, Guardrails, etc is going to fail. If you want democracy to continue, vote, get your friends to vote, run for local office, get anyone and everyone you know to go vote - even if you’re in a solid blue area.

Nothing is coming to save us.

Verify the guidelines first

Who Qualifies

You may qualify for a credit for buying a previously owned, qualified plug-in electric vehicle (EV) or fuel cell vehicle (FCV), including cars and light trucks, under Internal Revenue Code Section 25E.

To qualify, you must:

  • Be an individual who bought the vehicle for use and not for resale
  • Not be the original owner
  • Not be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return
  • Not have claimed another used clean vehicle credit in the 3 years before the purchase date In addition, your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) may not exceed: $150,000 for married filing jointly or a surviving spouse -- $112,500 for heads of households -- $75,000 for all other filers

You can use your modified AGI from the year you take delivery of the vehicle or the year before, whichever is less. If your income is below the threshold for 1 of the two years, you can claim the credit.
