I really wish they had included the average insurance price for each model. They obviously had it, since that was the basis of the ranking, but they chose not to display it.

Electric vehicles cost $4,058 on average to insure

$4k per what? Is that across the entirety of the category, which is top-heavy?

I can assure you that my Chevy Bolt costs a lot less than $4k/year to insure, and that includes full coverage and common claim caps. It's similar to my common ICE car before it.

I presume it's being heavily swayed by the expensive cars, such as Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, etc. I don't think your standard EV (GM, Hyundai, VW, etc) is going to be reasonably different over a comparable ICE model.

There is value in a rallying cry. Your favorite sports teams often have one. If you watch college sports, they usually have a fight song, and people even know/enjoy them. Something gutteral to energize the base, and gather them together.

This isn't one of those.

Of course they didn't. It was only a submarine sandwich.

If it had been a ham sandwich, OTOH, things would be different.

Are you able to physically replace the HDD (preferably with an SSD)? If so, you can use the (Win10) Media Creation Tool to create a USB installer.

When it prompts for a key, just skip it. If you have an OEM mass activation laptop (i.e. anything from a major brand), it'll activate automatically after. If, for whatever reason it still doesn't activate, you'll have a nag screen telling you to activate. It won't significantly limit what you do.

It's nearly certain. OEM activation has been stored on the motherboard since XP. XP-7 required a matching OEM cert (easily found online), while 8+ have a unique license in the BIOS. For these, you just reinstall the OS, skip the key during setup, and let it connect afterwards for all of the updates and whatnot.

Now, licenses to other apps, such as Word, are not so simple.

The biggest problem I had with the Jodie era was the companions.

Doctor Who has a rich history of the Doctor/Companion interactions following traditional gender roles. The Doctor is a powerful man who can bend time and space to his will, and his companion is an empathetic woman who can keep him grounded and retain his humanity. While there have been exceptions, this is the default formula.

When Jodie started, this all got turned upside-down. How should a woman Doctor act? Do they maintain the same character archetype (as they did with the Master/Missy), or do they make the character more feminine? What effect should that have on her relationship with her companions? Should the companion continue to be the traditional feminine role? Headstrong and masculine, but powerless? Wise and sage, like an advisor? This is a difficult plan for even the most accomplished writer.

Chris Chibnall was apparently not up to the task. Instead, he threw all of the options in at once. At best, it felt crowded and disjointed. But more often, it felt like they were focus-group testing. And by the end, it seemed clear that Kaz was the most popular with test audiences.

Yes, because of Disney's refusal to commit to the series. The production schedule is entirely too unpredictable right now, and Ncuti has (a lot of) other offers.

I can't elaborate without major spoilers.

I need to clarify that you are talking about Lenovo's consumer-grade lines, like the Ideapad. Their enterprise line (Thinkpad) is completely different.

Without exception, every single time someone is looking for "free speech", this applies:

EDIT: autocorrect

Not mandatory, but common. It's at the core of all the Hyundai/Kia thefts. They do not have immobilizers, but nearly everything else does (since the 90s)

The cliche is "Nero fiddled while Rome burned". I guess the term "fiddle" has changed over the years, and depends on context. In the US today, fiddle almost exclusively means a violin used for certain play styles.

The original stories did claim (now debated) that he spent it playing a stringed instrument of whatever variety.
