    Before snagging a chunk of space junk, Astroscale must first catch up to one

    I was thinking that too. Put all the junk on a path/orbit to crash on the moon for future reclamation? Unless that's bad (science perspective? contaminating moon w/ foreign material?)

    Wegovy is too expensive for NC; state health plan to cut coverage April 1

    Even smarter would be not propping up Big Corn (or whatever awful crop of the month) and not having every food product filled up with refined cheap and addictive carbs and sugars (made from carbs). You know... a major reason why the US is going through an obesity epidemic in the first place.

    “Are you still in business?”—Hyper support ghosts customers, spurring outrage

    Well that explains what I saw going on . They had a charger I wanted but it's been out of stock for over half a year at this point, I ended up buying a like-new one form Ebay for 1/3 the price.

    These are the 9 worst states to buy an electric car in

    This report is flawed. Higher registration fees for EVs aren't there to discourage EV purchases, it's to make up for lost gas tax revenue. Until (or if ever) they're able to figure out a good way of taxing electricity used for EV charging (both in public and at home), the fee will need to be...

    Apple Store appears to leak new, iPhone 8-like iPhone SE

    Well if no original iPhone SE sized phones out there now... and heck iPhone 8 (non plus) sized phones also becoming quite rare... those who like small phones better count their blessings with this new SE's release. It's a decent compromise in this day and age.

    IBM PC: The complete history, part 2

    What a great series. This could be turned into a video documentary easily I think... just reading through it I'm imagining the interviews and craftily put-together dramatizations etc. Will you do another write-up on IBM making OS/2 and trying to get back at MS?
