Not one chip in the whole package? Whenever I find this I wonder if there is a package somewhere with 2x chips...

When SVB failed earlier this year, the FDIC stepped in to protect all of the California bank’s U.S. deposits and arranged a sale of the lender’s U.S. customer accounts, branches and loans to First Citizens Bancshares.
Left out of that deal was SVB’s branch in the Cayman Islands, which had deposits from the bank’s clients in China, Singapore and other parts of Asia, including venture-capital and private-equity firms with funds that domiciled in the British overseas territory. Those investment firms were stunned in late March when they found out their deposits weren’t protected, and the FDIC—acting as SVB’s receiver—had drained their bank accounts, The Wall Street Journal reported previously.
Businesses that moved to the Caymans (presumably to avoid paying taxes) should not expect the be bailed out by the FDIC
I've heard that too...of course, I can't compare to 240V but it takes me probably 2-3 minutes to boil about 2 cups of water and probably 5-6 for a full kettle at a rolling boil (rough estimate from memory). It's not much faster than the stove but theres no wasted heat, and no hot pan sitting on a burner after I'm done. Another theory I've heard is that in the US people opt for a drip coffee maker instead of a kettle (for their one spot on the counter? Why not both?), since we don't drink tea that often.

Ahh, the "don't take my picture" face
Between misrepresenting their conversations with app devs and mods, and trying to spin a different story in media outlets, and lumping me into a "database of human conversation"... I really don't want to contribute to or engage with a company like that in any way. None of it directly affects me but I see no reason to help assholes out with free content, ad views, or votes.
Thank you! I have only seen 3 flower spikes so far (1 a year for 3 yrs) so this will be helpful next time one appears. Ours so far has started what ended up being flower spikes each time in Jan/Feb so around that time we get very excited on any growth :)
Appliance: Electric kettle. (they are uncommon in the US) It's well worth the counter space and easier to get boiling water than a pot on the stove, or to pre-heat water I add to a pan.
Non-appliance: Cheapo but sharp chef's knife, spatula, and kitchen tongs (great for grabbing hot lids too!).
Awesome! How can you tell if it is a flower spike or a new root? I can't tell the difference -- it seems like it could decide to be either until it's about an inch long and I can see if it is heading up or down.

Awesome! My favorite bit.
Reddit is both stating the protests are having no or minimal effect, whilst at the same time giving away free ad-space to try and keep advertisers, and doing everything it can to force subreddits to re-open. The protestors are both weak, and strong, depending on which argument makes Reddit look less-terrible at any given time.
I suspect they think a Modbot can replace human mods. I doubt it so the job probably gets outsourced to underpaid workers. I dont think any new volunteers will hang around long if faced with an angry community.
