Last summer gas was $7+ at a station I saw in LA. You're absolutely right that my next car is at least going to be a hybrid, if not fully electric.
Should be, but in the past I've seen Windows update, misidentify hardware and try to install the incorrect driver for it (last time I saw it was with a graphics card too). That could certainly cause some issues.
Well, no. A fresh Linux install is my solution.
Some OEM's really fuck up Windows, leaving it in a practically unusable state almost out of the box with the amount of shitware that's on there.
Additionally, for Windows, some hardware vendors do a poor job of ensuring working drivers get installed by default. Sometimes the wrong, but similar driver gets installed by Windows on a fresh install and it can really bork things up. The same can happen on Linux, but it's easier to ignore a faulty driver at boot time with Grub and make sure the right one gets loaded. And truthfully I haven't had to do that since like 2005.
New Horizons, the one that photoed Pluto, is expected to reach the edge of the solar system in 2040.

Ya but Blu-ray is a PITA to rip sometimes.
Watch out HP will probably disable scanning too.
Did you read the first link? Stalin especially disliked Jews and used euphemisms to target them domestically for placement into gulags. Yes the Soviet Union's military might, manpower and resolve were critical to stopping the Nazi menace. Credit where credit is due.
But there were several dynamics that led to Jews being persecuted (obviously less severely than they would have been under Nazi rule) in the USSR pre and post war and especially post war under Stalin. The wiki article does a good job of describing those dynamics.
I didn't, have a link?
It was a different Chevron.
