Comment on: This Motorcycle Airbag Vest Will Stop Working If You Miss a Payment
Reading the headline I was conflicted.
You can pay $800 outright to own it, or $400 + a $12/month subscription fee. Makes sense if you only plan to ride a few months out of the year. Plus there's a 30-day grace period if you cancel payment.

Comment on: Energy Trader: We've Officially Hit "Holy S*it Levels"
Interesting. This article focuses mostly on Texas.
One of the arguments to *why* Texas could secede is that its power grid is independent. Take that out of the equation and, well....

Well, from the article:
>>On Wednesday evening, the company revealed that its own internal employee tools were compromised and used in the hack, which may explain why even accounts that claimed to have two-factor authentication were still attempting to fool followers with the Bitcoin scam.
It doesn't necessarily need to be an internal hack, just someone at the company who opened a dumb email or gave out their password.
