draganton UEFA and its national associations will not participate in FIFA competitions

I actually like FIFA's plan. FIFA is distributing money back to the the associations...ALL ASSOCIATIONS...and lots of money. Infantino has really poured money into minority (less wealthy) associations across the world. No wonder we got Cape Verde and its glory!

draganton U.S. pulling ocean sensors a 'shock' for Canadian research as El Niño nears

This is a good point but its apple vs oranges. This administration is literally politicizing and destroying science funding.

draganton US car repossessions surge as more Americans default on auto loans

Funny how a lot was going really well thanks to the last administration. Full employment, hot economy, and administration going after the billionaires. Wow...so much has changed in a year. We piss off the world, we implement tariffs hapharzardly, car and car prices soar and the rich get richer. Brace yourself....

draganton 'Do not drive': Toyota recalls some 50k older vehicles

I called Toyota dealer service center near me. Gave them my VIN and they said I already had my airbags replaced years ago. I have a 2004 Toyota Matrix. So there's nothing new? Maybe catching the last remaining ones that did not get serviced?

draganton Using ChatGPT Plugins with LLaMA

I actually like Google Bard. I find the responses from Bard are superior over ChatGPT. Have others used Bard?

draganton Rent-a-sister: Coaxing Japan’s young men out of their rooms [video]

I don't see your point. How did you link toxic masculinity, not wanting sex, and coaxing men out of the room?

draganton The Allure of Small Towns for Big City Freelancers

100% agree! I would also add Ann Arbor, Michigan to the mix. These "small towns" have wonderfully integrated colleges into the small town such that there are positive benefits for both including good schools and things to do...what many "freelancers" with kids want.
