I agree with your overall sentiment, except for Bernie. No more geriatrics should be running. These guys are statistically a little lucky to be alive.

SpaceX is tanking? Big news. Tesla is still the most valuable automaker, so it has a ways to go.

I hate him too, but let’s not live in fantasy.

That makes sense to me… You really only want one path for the air flow. E g. In through the front, over the components, and out the back.

Most of the fans in this setup are just fighting against each other.

Cool as an experiment. Real world use seems limited. Much cheaper to hire an administrative assistant to clean up after each meeting, since the tabletop also needs tidying.

I wish most/all laws worked this way. We should be aiming for incremental changes over time instead of big bang ones that get undone after the next election.

Hell, for minimum wage though, it should always change based on cost of living as it continues to increase over time.

Yeah, AI is a new twist here but the concept of misrepresenting images and stories for attention is ageless.

My sister is a civil engineer in PA and is familiar with this situation. She told me that basically these municipalities did not take care of their pipes, refused to raise any money for them, then, when they got old enough that the situation became critical, sold it off. Now this company comes along, has to make requires fixes to the pipes, and has to raise the money to do so. The private company gets to be the bad guy, while the local governments, who neglected the pipes for a decade or more, don’t get heat.

All this said, if they weren’t allowed to sell it to a private company, there would be no “get out of jail free” card and maybe they would have pushed harder to take care of them damn pipes.

Point is, I don’t think it’s quite as simple as it looks on the surface.

A party made up of a blind character, a deaf character, and a mute character. I’d play that.

I really think the vast majority of Duo Lingo users, even the ones who use it every day, never progress past an introductory “101” level in the language. I know people who use it every day for years and know some vocab but can’t hold even a basic conversation.

If you actually want to learn the language you have to… Believe it or not… Interact with people who are fluent in the language.

I almost forgot about that… Shudder no less efficient way to do something.
