I loved it too, and my daughters (who had access to several looney toons collections as kids) also seemed to enjoy it.

To do what? I usually hold it with my left and, and one-finger (right-hand index finger) to type / scroll / select / etc. I guess I never "got" the phone model properly or something. My daughters type way faster on

Even if they claim not to use it, they're probably using it and hoping they don't get caught. They have zero ethics or morals, they just want to "win" to get mega-rich.

I'm even more impressed by purely mechanical engines of the 50s and 60s that revved that high without any help from microprocessors/fuel injectors/coil packs. Porsche built a 9000 rpm race engine that had beveled gears (I had

I've worked for a few companies from 2000-2026 (2 startups, 2 medium companies), and overall, I would say they all had decent to great leadership. None of them were out to only maximize next quarter, all stressed being 100% honest with

Or maybe there are more things using the same tactics / scammer's reach keeps increasing. My parents "fell" for fundamentalism early (as kids - raised in it), for televangelists in their 40s, and Fox News in their 70s&#x

Duncan Elliott taught my graduate (IIRC) computer architecture course while writing that thesis - we all talked about C-RAM for a while.. And I think it was a rehash of an even older paper / discussion about that idea.

Yes, agreed. I came on a fiance visa, then work authorization, then green card, then naturalization. Spouse (the OG US citizen) thought we just needed to get married in the US..

Confused as well - spousal visa gives them a green card, does it not? What is there to wait for? Are they postponing green card renewal as well?

If it wasn't for Google (and ads), my bank might not have even considered selling my data.. They only sold the credit bureaus in the past, AFAIK. Now it's considered a "must have"..

Thanks for this. As a 30+ years software developer, I empathize with your pain, understand your points, etc. I also am old-school and would expect reasonable support / fixes from $200+ software packages back in the day. These days, for

UBI can also be a backstop against deflation, can't it? If no one has income, it doesn't matter if bread costs $1 per loaf instead of $3-5 now - no one will be able to afford even $1 eventually, after they've sold their house

Sam Altman doesn't BELIEVE in UBI - but he knows it's the only way to SELL his product, therefore he pretends he believes in it. None of these guys want one cent going to anyone but themselves.

Then they can get a license for that class of vehicle and add "towing up to NNNN lbs" option.. Anything over 500 or 1000 lbs towed, for example, IMHO, should require a license. Obviously not for a hitch-based bicycle carrier - I t
