If it weren’t for the world cup most Americans would probably not even know Qatar was a country

Wonder how long before Trump renames it “Department of burning Oil and Coal”

Those are some very clean, new looking vests in the background… as if they have never been used by a real worker.

I don’t even know why they charge such high prices.

I don’t work in academia but I am curious about thing and look up papers all the time.

I have never bought a single one at those ridiculous prices. But if they were reasonable like $1-$3 or something I probably would have an di imagine a lot of people would have.

You make more if 100 people buy a $1 item than 3 people buying a $30 item and the world benefits more.

I don’t understand sports enthusiasm

I don’t doubt he is that petty but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he is just too stupid to know what to do on how own so just does whatever Obama did as president like following a little “how to president for dummies” guidebook.

It wasn’t algae free before. Trump thought spending millions on making it a darker colour would stop the algae growth. Might have slowed it slightly since there’s less light reflected back up from the bottom now but there’s no stopping it since, y’know, it’s 100% exposed to sunlight on the surface.

True, cars should have speed limiters built in at the manufacturer. No car needs to go over 100-120km/h depending on the highway. In the city 50-80km/h should be the max.

I feel like any lawyer should only be able to bill half their rate if they lose the case

I wonder at what point government will tax AI use by companies similarly to payroll taxes and incomes taxes.

If they pay an AI company $150,000 a month to replace $50,000 in salaries, the government then loses all that income tax from the previous employees as well as the payroll tax on $600k a year.

At least with human labour companies have control. They withhold raises and bat down wages and the people tend to have to take it.

With AI you get suckered in and all of a sudden have a subscription or something similar. Then next year the costs go up. You’ve already tailored your workflow to use AI, you can’t just not pay the higher bill. Next year, costs go up again. What are you going to do? Not pay your bill and lose your entire workforce all at once? Now the company is being held hostage by the AI companies.

People are addicted to it and see the aspartame water with no sugar and no calories and feel they can drink as much as they want guilt free.

I go for a conference almost every year for work. Skipped last year, this year its in Canada (1 out of every 5 years) so I got a two for one.

I’m like one of the youngest millenials… Still a long way to go thank you very much!

I’ve been summoned twice in the past 7 years and neither time did I actually even get to the point where they interview to decide if I would have been a juror.

First time I got summons was like a month after I moved to a different city for work and I let them know and they said okay you don’t need to come.

Second was like last year and I accepted the summons but then got a notification that I was no longer needed as the trial wouldn’t happen. I assume plea deal or something.

I wonder if a way to solve this supply chain and scalper issue is if you just have a a deposit reservation system a few months before release

That way if they know 100,000k units already have a deposit, they know they can produce more than 100,000k units.

And probably a lot of those will be scalpers, so if 50,000k are scalpers buying a bunch all of a sudden there will be a glut of scalpers selling a bunch at the same time and competing and then likely not able to offload at a premium.

I live on West coast so I think we do actually import a lot of gas from washington

It’s kind of surprising to me that fuel prices in the US seem to have been affected the most by it.

I’m above the border and gas was typically $1.30 and now it’s closer to $1.90-$2.00

Still a big increase but no where near double like some places in the US

Does it matter if the coo knows or not? If they do something stupid and get stopped, the cop will realize and fine them for not being registered.

You can also drive around in a car without a license and a cop would never know unless you drove stupidly and they pulled you over.
