How regularly?

Yep:

Nine bystanders were wounded by stray bullets fired by the officers and ricocheting debris, but none suffered life-threatening injuries.

Well, I'm going to go find out how many they bought. I doubt it will improve my opinion of the situation.

According to an October report by Market Watch, Americans needed an annual income of at least $100,000 to afford a car, at least if they're following standard budgeting advice, which says you shouldn't spend more than 10 percent of your monthly income on car-related expenses.

This is a dumb way to determine whether someone can "afford" a car.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps quickly took responsibility for the attacks

Do they mean Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or is this a different group?

Bertram said, “Facebook has, of course, ignored any requests for information – so I do not know for sure it is a human taking the ads down, but that is what appears to be happening.

Of course?

In the sense that it tries too hard to be progressive?

We keep engineering new and ingenious ways to extract more oil from mostly-not-oil, but that’s destroying the planet.

Before we were doing that we were destroying the planet by killing whales and burning coal. We haven't quit burning coal though, but we have managed to cut back on killing whales.

Elon’s Hyperloop was never a good idea, and it’s fortunate it was never actually built and probably will never be built.

It works like that for me too. Even better if your list is short enough to avoid getting a cart.

Unstaffed tills were supposed to revolutionise shopping.

They were?

I would like to see him proven wrong.

The agency also said it would assess the safety risks of having delegated some of its oversight authority to Boeing.

I would say that makes the FAA complicit in this.

I need to think about it some.

I don't think I like this guy.

Who could have seen this coming?

Does this mean there isn't going to be a soft landing or does it relate to that at all?

The kinda shitty part is that everybody is a full time employee but you still get frequent layoffs after projects end. That’s the worst of both worlds, especially in the US where there are basically zero mandatory protections. In places with actual labor regulations it’s… kinda expensive and self-defeating.

Something like 60% of EA employees live outside the U.S.A.

This article feels a little like a backhanded compliment.
