That’s about the Western US, some of which are flyover states, but most flyover states exist east of the 100th meridian and are generally more at risk to flooding than desertification!

If an independent geopolitical position had been charted at quite literally any point over the past however many decades, that may have been an option, yes. Mexico alone provides more crude oil to the US than Russia and Saudi Arabia combine

You cannot get a 16” 1600p @ 120hz laptop for anything less than double the cost of that $700 model. The specs are very specific to gaming, and anything similar (1440p@120hz) will include the cost of the hardware required for local gaming.

EU imports of US LNG eclipsed monthly Russian pipeline output as recently as June. These figures will be updated to reflect an entirely different new world. They’re from 2021, the year before Russia invaded Ukraine and Europe’s energy suppl

Its performance is unparalleled among cloud gaming services at the moment with the updates over the past year or so, Stadia is now a blurry, poorly upscaled mess in comparison, often locked at 30-45fps for certain titles while GFN is pushin
