<p>RottenTomatoes has been rotten for over a decade. IMDB user ratings are much more useful, but still far from perfect.</p>

<p>It's not baffling. They know what they are getting billed for, that's transparent. They don't understand WHY they are getting billed 6x of what they expected. The problem here isn't with AWS, the problem is they don't understand why their usage is at 6x.</p>

<p>Nobody stopped anyone from making EVs or not using oil products.<p>We use oil because it's cheap and versatile, not because evil oil companies are forcing us.<p>There's no replacement for oil at the moment. Sure, you can manufacture some plastics of CO2, but they are so expensive, even you don't use them.</p>

<p>That's like suing knife manufacturers because some people stab other people.<p>We have no realistic short-term plan to switch away from oil. Everyone can't just switch to EVs. Most products have plastics or oil derivatives in them.<p>It will take a long time.</p>

<p>Things got so bad, that you had to move, as a result of all the policies that you support. Consider that your policies are not good, and your defense of them doesn't look like defense at all.<p>And some of your reasons make no sense. COVID/fentanyl didn't just hit Portland.<p>> <i>stopped even bothering arresting people</i><p>Oh, look, the direct consequence of your actions and your policies. You declare that ALL cops are bad, and then complain when they stop doing what they do. And your DA releases nearly all arrested people without a charge because "compassion", so cops have no reason to arrest anyone.<p>Again, consider that your policies and ideas are horrible.</p>

<p>I have so many big batteries in the house, it's scary. I've been thinking of building a fireproof enclosure for them from rockwool or ceramic fiber.<p>Our big batteries, other than the EV in the garage, are from the e-foil, they are like 40lbs, lots of energy.</p>

<p>Decent 1080p quality. Not bluray level, but getting close. Definitely ahead of every other video generator.<p>Video production just got a lot cheaper and requires very few skills. This is basically destroying the creative video production industry (ads, product videography, youtube content of all kinds) and probably VFX industry as well.</p>
