To prevent the West Coast Power Grid from collapsing, the California Independent System Operator (which manages 80% of the states grid) extended a Flex Alert, urging residents to curtail electricity use between the hours of 4 pm and 9 pm till the end of the week. The operator also suggested residents pre-cool their homes at 72 degrees Fahrenheit before 4 pm and then set their thermostats to 78 degrees or higher during conservation hours, CNN Reports. Additionally, residents should avoid charging electric vehicles or using large appliances.

Ah, sorry about that. So my next question why didn't JJ Abrams direct the 8th movie?

TFA was pretty good in that there was a lot to build off of. The issue was that JJ Abrams had no plans for how the sequels were supposed to turn out thanks to his "mystery box" method. It was meant for the other director to fill in those mysteries and then you have Rian Johnson, who's well known to "subvert expectations" go, "Yeah, none of that shit matters." so the third film basically had nothing to build off from hence "somehow Palpatine returned" meme.

The Titanic star, 47, and the model, 25, have split after more than four years of dating, sources close to the couple tell E! News.

Name them.

Time to call animal control.

Serious question here...doesn't reporting it mean the deception isn't going to work now?

Now for a story being reported by the Washington Post - that Ukraine has been using wooden decoys of US long-range rocket systems.

Why? To deceive Russia into wasting expensive missiles on fake targets, the paper says.

It can be very hard to distinguish between the fakes and the real US-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (Himars) when viewed through a Russian drone camera from a distance, Ukrainian officials have told the US newspaper.

The importance of the advanced missile systems to the battle in the south and east means Russian forces view them as vital targets to strike.

It's led to Russian drone operators giving the locations of the decoys to cruise missile ships in the Black Sea, the Post says.

The wooden replicas have drawn at least 10 long-range Kalibr missiles after just a few weeks in operation and their success means production has been expanded, Ukrainian officials tell the paper.

The Washington Post adds the replica's destruction could partially explain Russias "unusually boastful" claims to have destroyed many Western artillery systems.

"Theyve claimed to have hit more Himars than we have even sent," one US diplomat notes.

1. Stop apologizing. Just stop. There's a point where it becomes more annoying to have someone constantly apologizing for something than the original act. At some point, it's less about you wanting him to feel better and becomes you wanting to reassure yourself that things are okay by apologizing again so that he has to SAY it's fine, and eventually that drives an even bigger wedge between you two.
2. You need to ask him what he wants. You've said a lot about what you want out of the relationship, but not much about what HE wants out of a relationship. Maybe it's because you're afraid of the answer, but at some point it becomes part of the problem because your constant fear of finding out he doesn't need you has let you to completely avoiding the topic of what he DOES need. Healthy dialogue is the absolute foundation of a successful relationship. You cannot avoid it, and uncomfortable subjects, with your partner if you want it to last.

That's house elves.

Lois dying made Superman vulnerable to Anti-Life. If Darkseid wasn't around Lois dying wouldn't do anything special besides make him a little depressed/hopeless for a little bit. Her death creates a vector for Darkseid to exploit with Anti-Life. It doesn't cause Superman to go insane.

That's not what happened in Injustice at all.

In Snyder verse, Superman went evil because of Anti-Life, not because Lois died. It also never even happened outside of Batman's nightmares anyway.

They basically have turned Clark from a good-natured person deep down to an actual monster that all it takes to reveal his true nature is for Lois to die.

So Synderfans.

I'm confused

Ahh - I *believe* she said somewhat recently that she had paid off all of her school debt (was understandably excited), which I'm sure would affect her/a person's answer. Your description of doctor's wages in other countries doesn't seem quite as accurate? Again IF she wanted to answer, it's definitely not something she has to speak to...

1. United States $316,000
2. Germany $183,000
3. United Kingdom $138,000
4. France $98,000

dudes here arguing semantics of a fucking meme

Outdated, as I'm sure gas prices have gone down over there too lately, but still applicable to the topic.

A bit tangential to your tangential question - are your figures accounting for not having to pay for medical school? German doctors making half of US might be closer if you take out the medical school loan costs...

As Europe's energy costs skyrocket, Russia is burning off large amounts of natural gas, according to analysis shared with BBC News.

Experts say that the gas would previously have been exported to Germany.

They say the plant, which is near the border with Finland, is burning an estimated $10m (8.4m) worth of gas every day.

But since June, researchers have noted a significant increase in heat emanating from the facility - thought to be from gas flaring, the burning of natural gas.

While burning off gas is common at processing plants - normally done for technical or safety reasons - the scale of this burn has confounded experts.

"I've never seen an LNG plant flare so much," said Dr Jessica McCarty, an expert on satellite data from Miami University in Ohio.

"Starting around June, we saw this huge peak, and it just didn't go away. It's stayed very anomalously high."

But as well a releasing around 9,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent every day from this flare, the burning causes other significant issues.

Germany has free health care. And college.
