Stupid question: why dont they use at least some transparent panels on top of the buildings to let in light during the daytime? Right now i'm seeing huge, dark halls who are illuminated by rows and rows of artificial light (probably making up a large portion of their power bill), while the sun is providing free, natural light outside most of the business hours.

Will people get all the features back he previously removed after he charges them a fee, or what value does he offer to his paying customers?

Not only that, it also takes passengers away from public transit because door to door is more convenient than waiting for a bus or changing lines in between.

Great, now I can get even 3x the headache while fixing legacy code, using jquery UI and wearing a VR headset at work! /s

I would use it for work, except our tech stack is still stuck in the 1990s...

"look, just go to home Depot and get a carpet knife for 1/10th of the cost!"

They would pull a north Korea, threatening to attack unless the US sends them food, money, fuel, cars, doctors and Desaster relief after the seasonal climate change Desasters...

The problem is that it will only recommend content based on my previous watch history. It will not recommend me new topics I have never heard or shown interest about and surprise me with something new that might also be interesting or important.

so, is there a way to duplicate one of the cards that allows unlimited plays or admin access?

I'm sure the CIA would like to get his hands on him as well to get some first hand info.

There is an enterprise windows version that comes without tracking, telemetry and auto installed crapware, but it costs more.

"Just switch to Linux!!!1!!" - yeah sure, and throw away the 3rd party software licenses I paid money for in the last 20 years, not to mention the games...

What kind of scams? Amway, Tupperware, herbalife?

Maybe the part with the drug trafficking, racketeering and gang violence inside their hobby club?

"sorry..."

You know, people have bought milk from farmers long before they invented plastic packaging....

[Cheerful music starts. Camera zooms in on a fake-looking living room set. Two actors, JACKIE and DAVE, are seated on a sofa, laughing. They turn toward the camera, holding a cup of coffee.]

JACKIE (excitedly): Oh, Dave! This coffee tastes sooo amazing. What is it?

DAVE (with a wide grin): Well, Jackie, it's not just any coffee! It’s... [holds the coffee jar dramatically up to the camera] WAKE-THE-FUCK-UP STRONG!

JACKIE (in mock disbelief): WAKE-THE-FUCK-UP STRONG, Dave? Really?

DAVE: That's right, Jackie! The strongest and fastest instant coffee on the market!

[Cut to close-up of JACKIE taking a sip of her coffee. Her eyes widen in amazement.]

JACKIE: Mmm, Dave, it's so bold and robust. I've never tasted instant coffee this good before.

DAVE (pointing to the jar): And the best part, Jackie, is that it’s ready in seconds!

[Quick montage of DAVE spooning coffee into a cup, pouring water, and stirring.]

JACKIE: Wow, Dave, that was so fast!

DAVE (nodding): Yes, Jackie! No more waiting around for your morning coffee. With WAKE-THE-FUCK-UP STRONG, you get the kick you need instantly!

[Camera pans to a group of bad actors in the background pretending to have a party. They're all holding WAKE-THE-FUCK-UP STRONG jars and smiling awkwardly.]

PARTY GUEST #1: Hey, Jackie and Dave, thanks for introducing us to WAKE-THE-FUCK-UP STRONG!

PARTY GUEST #2: Yes, Jackie! Now my mornings are faster and more energetic, thanks to Dave and you!

JACKIE (winking at the camera): No need to thank us! Just enjoy the robust flavor and instant energy of WAKE-THE-FUCK-UP STRONG!

DAVE: And, Jackie, did you know that for a limited time, our viewers can get not one, but TWO jars of WAKE-THE-FUCK-UP STRONG for the price of one?

JACKIE (gasping): Two for the price of one, Dave? That's unbelievable!

DAVE (pointing at the camera): That's right, folks! Call now, and double your energy for half the price!

[Phone number flashes on the screen with images of the coffee jar.]

JACKIE: Hurry, Dave says it's for a limited time only!

DAVE: So true, Jackie! Don't miss out!

JACKIE & DAVE (together, holding the jar high and smiling too much): WAKE-THE-FUCK-UP STRONG – For the strong and speedy you!

[Cheerful music fades. The screen goes black with the phone number and the offer details.]

Narrator (voiceover): Call now. Offer valid while supplies last. Terms and conditions apply.

• It takes 20 years to build
• nobody knows how much nuclear fuel will cost in 20 years
• you have to take out a big loan and make interest payments on it for maybe 30 years before you start making a profit
• if you don't have enough water for cooling because of climate change, the plant must shut down
• if your neighbor decides to start a war against you, your nuclear plants become a liability, see Ukraine.

I think smaller, decentralized renewable energy is cheaper in the short and long run and has a much lower risk in case of accidents, natural Desasters or attacks.

There are also a lot of e-commerce agencies who just don't have their sh1t together. Was expected to work on 3 different clients a day who all had different platforms, different requirements etc. Yes, you can dump some new code into the project that looks like it's working, but then you don't have time for any unit tests, exception handling if the user won't cooperate etc. and it's basically just some dodgy, untested code that will come back a few days later with some issues related to something nobody told you about.

The other "senior" programmer in the company never set up any local environment but instead ftp'd all changes directly to the live server. I asked him if needs help to set up a local server and debugger, but instead he would just dump vars on the live server and stream the contents of error.log to his second screen to catch any issues...

Ah, gotcha! We need a menu inside the entertainment system where you can select a gear via touch-screen... /s
