When doing world rankings, to me it’s a better visual to compare each US region/state to countries as the size of the US is a big factor. Each region has its own distinction. I live in the Pacific Northwest which is (I believe) comparable to most developed countries. If you’re in the southeast, the rankings drop and your probably better off in Eastern Europe. The Northeast US (I.e. New England) is also comparable to most developed countries but the Midwest is moving more towards a theocratic style of localized governance. The US isn’t in a position I’m any region to compete with Norway, Finland, Denmark, etc but that’s why they are ranked at the top.
I hope we can keep supporting Ukraine. This is one of the few times in history when the scenario is so clear cut good vs evil. The Ukrainians fought hard to get out from under the thumb of Russia and the Russians just couldn’t have that so they invaded. The support the world provides to Ukraine is support provided for all Democracies.
I can only answer the first question about visibility since I read a response previously on it. Basically, the overgrowth moves quick so you can’t see anything with plant coverage pretty quickly. Also rain and snow cover tracks and flatten out the soil that would have been disturbed. Comes down to, can’t see any of them unless you are up close and personal…and even then you need to be trained to spot them. As for blowing them up, they’ve been placed everywhere by the Russians. You can’t explode a few thousand square kilometers (I mean short of doing something crazy).
The issue here is that the UK isn’t doing something good in this one circumstance. You can’t create a man in the middle encryption scheme and hope your the only man in the middle. It fundamentally breaks the baseline security and privacy of the solution.
I think the commenter meant the saying we have in the US which is call and write your representatives/senators. They were indicating doing whatever the UK version of that appears to be falling on deaf ears as the article states the politicians do not appear to be taking the advise of educated advisors so they are also likely going to ignore the public.
While certainly better than nothing, that wouldn’t cover a month of child care for us so going back to the office is not an option for me. The good news is that my company doesn’t even have an office in my state but I did hear they want people near their locations to start going in a few days a week. I never thought my company would be one of “those” types of organizations but alas they all are.
We all know that the look of the interface will stay the same throughout the lifetime of the car. At least with CarPlay or Android Auto, it represents the interface of your phone. CarPlay is a hard requirement for my vehicles.
I’m in Shanghai a few times a year on business and really have to double check that I have multiple VPN options available before leaving. Had a coworker have his phone checked at customs but we always bring dedicated “China-only” cell phones and laptops. They seem to be getting more on top of crushing outside communications but I always get at least one connection working when there. Last time it was an ssh tunnel to an AWS instance that I used to route traffic. Before that it was ExpressVPN which gave me trouble on the last visit. China is playing whack a mile with the VPNs.
Agree on this. I dropped Spotify after the Rogan fiasco and switched to Apple Music. It’s not as good but I refuse to go back to Spotify. I really hoped that Apple would have a great product but the interface isn’t great and experience has been less than great. Happy to hear they are finally putting some resources into improvements.
Biden has been pretty good and it’s nice to have a normal president but I do look forward to a time in the future that the democrats push a candidate that gets folk excited. I am happy to vote Biden again and will but maybe we can get someone younger after that?
