At what point does a "drought" stop being a drought and become the "norm"? I've been listening to Ca officials and farmers talk about the "drought" for more than a decade with wet years popping up hear and there. I have to ask "is it a drought, or is Ca just becoming more desert?" 164 years seems like change not drought. And yes, yes, the climate changes, we all know that, lets not get into that here.
Actually most "organic" is not. Ag theft is a huge issue in the areas that grow your food. The roundup is stolen from one farm and sold to the next door "organic" farm. Then when it's "certified" there is no record of the chemical use. Suddenly the $100 per ton crop is a $500 per ton crop, it's magic i tell you! But hey, buy organic if it makes you feel better about yourself.
At least it doesn't make AI any worse than it was.
That's two things I thought I'd never here in the same sentence.
Your "pro" arguments are actually very good at explaining why Government mandates and artificial timelines are a mistake. The market will slowly move over to EVs as they become doable. In this case at least, let the market work itself out and keep the Gov out of it. I, as a minor example, have no problems with EVs in theory. I'm just not going to rearrange my life/lifestyle to make one work and I doubt that I'm that much of a fringe case.
Norway is only 5.5 million people. NY city alone is 8.5 million and Norway is the size of an average US state. Who really cares what they do, they are pretty insignificant to the world in general.
the point is that 98% of users only use web browsers. Firefox is kickass. Enlighten me on how Windows may enhance my life beyond that.
Gaming, Windows is still king for gaming. Steam is getting better but still not there. Until then LTSC is the way.
My mind keep circling back to how we make a Star Trek type of a Utopia. This is my latest attempt: Everybody in society must take two college or trade school type classes. They must produce something, like when a Doctorate writes a paper, or a Carpenter makes a cool kitchen cabinet. The rest can be done by AI or bots, and wealth can be distributed based in need instead of greed.
There is a reason that 'Utopia' by definition is referred to as fantastical, imagined, and/or hypothetical. It's an impossibility when humans are involved, some humans will always have the desire to subordinate others. Just look at religion, greed, rank, hierarchy, monarchy, etc. for examples on how they accomplish it.
I can't say I've ever seen a base model anything on a dealer lot. They always seem to load them down with "extras" to drive the cost up. Even the base model gets packed with extras. Don't even get me started on aggressive sales pitch from the finance guy. I hate dealerships. The car should just have a set price. You know, like just about everything else.
Heck, even buying a condo was less tedious then dealing with a car dealership.
That's why you buy fleet vehicles if you really want the base, nobody actually does though. The last truck I purchased I still had to spring for the A/C and cruise. Once you have had a couple of luxuries, it's hard to do without.
I'm not sure if you are naive or just an optimist, whichever it is I believe your are wrong. Remember the last shenanigans he pulled? These are just the sort of circumstances and conditions that start coops and/or civil wars. He will claim the American voting system is corrupt (again), that he actually won the election (again), and just sign a presidential order naming himself as Emperor for life. Then he will defy anyone to challenge it. Meanwhile he just sits there continuing being Trump. Best case scenario is he drops dead sometime in the next couple of years.
Ummm, I think everyone else explained it well enough. The man is Delusional with a pretty big Caesar complex.
Like Trump will ever willingly leave while he is alive.
Have you read
Screw that waste too.
Fill the rabbits with either a deadly neurotoxin (if snakes are trying to eat them), or fill them with 250,000 volts of tasing power. Along with a webcam of course.
That was my sentiment as well, make them cheaper, less sophisticated, and for more deadly. Even live rabbits, they don't need to be tended to, they're rabbits! Tie it to a stake, put a small charge of something anti-reptile on their back, breed more. Rinse and repeat.
Same here but I was never that interested in blogs. I can remember reading maybe a handful since the early nineties, but I was never much interested in other peoples ramblings. Other early web page types were much more interesting to me, some even had dancing hamsters!
