Be sure to tell people what you love about electric, while pointing out that next time you will be buying from a different brand.

Before going homeless, there will be a massive uptick in reverse mortgages. Remember that most retirees were able to buy houses back when they were super cheap. A reverse mortgage gives them income while effectively selling the equity in their home. As is often the case, they will be screwing over their kids and grandkids. There won't even be a house (owned) to inherit upon their death.

The executor will be forced to sell the house to pay off the reverse mortgage, often at a discount, to exactly the types you describe.

Imagine being the historian researching these for dates...

An absolutely fascinating read, even if some important details have been lost to time. I suppose it serves as a cautionary tale going forward.

Wait, how could they not have the rights to the Daleks? Isn't all of this owned by the BBC? I realize things very recently got complicated with Disney, but this was long before that.

It's not entirely out of the question, but it does require considerable evidence. It's possible that he carried it so that it wouldn't be left somewhere as evidence, until he could get somewhere that he could safely destroy it.

That said, there are some pretty gaping holes with that explanation that would need to be filled first.

That would be worth about 12 cents today.

Bragged about their crimes to specialized cops who had already identified themselves as such, with evidence on hand, and still only $1,000 each.

That means that violating all of these laws really just costs $1,000, and only if you get caught.

Yes, they exist, as I acknowledged. How old is it? Is it representative of what you'd find at a standard big box retailer?

For it to work, it means the controls must all be manual and mechanical. This is in contrast to the "smart" features that are very common.

Oh, and FWIW - if you live somewhere with an unstable power grid, a natural gas or LP stove will continue to function when the power is out, albeit you'll need to light it manually.

This is only true on the simplest (or older) gas stoves. Most models these days have all sorts of electronics, including features to prevent gas leaks.

FWIW, uBO Lite set to complete is still quite effective.

Do you have a source on that? I remember Neil DeGrasse Tyson getting a bunch of heat for claiming 5:1, although that may have used different criteria.

Edit: It was 5:1 according to https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/neil-degrasse-tyson-vax-tweet/

Also no source indicated.
