We had that. We bulldozed it.

We give billions of taxpayer money each year to build and maintain roadways for cars, while letting rail companies mostly depend on profits to do so with rail. It is no wonder which has won.

Just like I am happy with Apple and Google taking a cut and running their app stores. If these big companies could make their own store, they would. Apple would lose a cut, but that does not affect me as a consumer. What does affect me is a gate keeper keeping terrible practices in check. Making it nearly impossible to cancel a subscription instead of having a handy menu to just turn it off. Having places to put credit cards that are not secure. Collecting personal data nonstop. Etc etc.

While in college, my wife worked a summer in a local factory. She said what stood out the most was that everyone except the managers had bad teeth.

And Teeth are part of our body. Why it is not part of every health insurance plan is bizarre.

Guns work fine with smaller magazines. They do not work fine without a barrel.

Edit: and I say that as someone that owns several guns. That are in a gun safe at a family members because I have kids and not a great place to store them.

The US has this. The majority of fireman in the US are volunteers. But they are rarely called out for more than a few hours at a time (my neighbor went to a large fire for several days once, but that is extremely rare). Fighting a large brush fire could take weeks.

Most do not make the majority of their money from their government paycheck. Wild how they can get elected and suddenly make millions.

Child marriages should be illegal federally with zero tolerance or exceptions.

I am a big Apple guy, but this is not healthy. I wish Google would step up their game.

At what point do they turn the servers off?

He was simply born rich.

Didn’t he just sell a spare house for like $6m?

We try hard not to stay in Wyndham hotels, too many bad stays. We usually go to the cheaper Marriott’s.

Maybe, but why. Apple has multiple ways to do this seamlessly. You can restore from an iCloud backup or do the wireless device transfer (that always fails for me with nearly 40k images).

And what happens when your enemy steals your encryption keys? Because it will happen.

Oh, I have seen discussion on it.

Working saturdays was the norm. That is why Sundays were a “day of rest”. And Saturdays were shorter days, more akin to workdays today.

On most newer cars.

A micro reactor, which is really cool.

It is certainly early, they have not even tested it on animals. Many promising drugs either do not work as believed or have nasty side effects that make them unusable. But we humans have invented many other amazing things. While caution is warranted, just writing it off as impossible is also premature.
