According to slide 8 that’s not the case at all.

Could you use a bunch of chaff in hopes of burning the fiber optic cables?

They probably aren’t using them.

There’s no way you can send rotting food waste to the 10% without food.

A lot of people’s assumptions about Dinosaurs is from Jurassic Park. A BBC Science Correspondent is probably a lot better.

ServiceNow wants to become the new Oracle/IBM, same went Salesforce I think.

Tech today sells dopamine to end users. Those companies were huge industrial type giants at the time, especially GE, and sold to enterprises large and small.

Companies can do financial tricks but end users can’t.

They don’t have green beans in the Midwest?

We bought kids toys on Amazon and the fruits were strange. Not sure if they were Asian varieties or just made up.

Ankimo, monkfish liver at sushi places, is great but I suggest you get it from someone who knows how to prepare it otherwise it can be off putting.

None of these things happen in my X5. It will even detect my bike rack and not automatically stop like my wife’s X7 does with iDrive 7. You can turn off all the speed warnings but no one is going to do it in a rental.

Not surprised the X2 sucks it’s the cheapest model and usually the Germans do not do well in this category. The cheap small Mercedes are similar.

The biggest annoyance is the horn beeps when I leave the car running and grab something from the trunk.

TSA might but the airline and your destination will not.

My state will automatically expunge non violent misdemeanors after 2010, so if it happened before you have to jump through hoops.

I know people who dropped out of college because they had a very small drug charge, no use in finishing if you will have a scarlet letter over your head forever.

Damn, the last thing I need is my wife switching to formal language when she’s mad at me.

Wait until HR sends an HD AI avatar to fire you.

Use wood chucks. After thinking about it, I’ve never thought my wood chunks were too dry but I used to think that a lot about wood chips. Wood chips burn much faster so it makes sense.

I think 85% of home sales in the US are single family. So split up 15% between town homes and condos. OP is describing a small part of new properties. I assume you’re talking about condos. What OP is talking about is more of what you describe, students, singles, and new families (with or without kids).

There’s a lot of active adult 55+ and no kid neighborhoods. I wonder how they compare to what OP describes, I’ve never been in one.

Diesel engines in the US have stricter regulations. I doubt folks in the EU will start buying PowerStrokes, Cummins, or Duramaxes anytime soon.

The hospital we had our kids at had a baby CPR class and an expectant parent class. The CPR class didn’t give you a certification but you learned what to do for CPR and choking.

Are you talking about the job or the porn?

My area doesn’t have grids or anything. To get out of my neighborhood I have 200 feet of elevation change and I’ve only gone half a mile.

Or they just want to sell us minority report style ads.

Didn’t IBM and others use it before Apple? IBM iSeries came out before the iMac. I think a few companies were using small e and i at the time for the “cool” factor. Intel jumped on the bandwagon after the iMac, IIRC.

My buddy forgot his old Facebook but some scammer found his old password on one of those pwned websites. A year ago his old account started selling random things like a huge swing set in California. I always wondered what they were up to with his account of Facebook marketplace.

I tried to contact Hetzner and others about customers scanning my ports. Nobody cares about that. I took issue when I kept getting firewall alerts for port scans on open Plex ports.

I went down a crazy rabbit hole and found a bunch of domains that were random parts of street addresses. Obviously created automatically and they were purposely trying to make it harder to find related domains.

Facebook groups are like the new Internet forums. There’s tons of stuff that’s moved to Facebook groups like Fishing and Car forums. For a lot of content Facebook groups are much better than forums.

Marketplace seems to be the new Craigslist and much better IMHO.

Posting is probably dead or dying. I haven’t done it in a decade or so.

AVE had tear downs years ago and I think there were a few places where dewalt edged out Milwaukee. There was also some black magic going on with dewalt impacts and a rebound effect. See Torque test channel[1].

For automotive Milwaukee is the clear winner.

Ouch, I wouldn’t want to bike down that on a busy afternoon.

My US city has been buying abandoned rail lines and creating biking/walking path instead. I like being away from the streets. Some streets have a barrier that protects the bike lanes and I prefer those with my kids in tow.

Abandoned industrial rail line:

If you didn’t know all the accounting firms have massive IT consulting practices then do you really know about them?

I think Deloitte makes about half of their US revenue from various consulting projects.

I’m not in the SF or start up bubble so this is not really a concern for me.

No you wouldn’t. The trades will take your body. I work with field techs who are close to 50 and they tell me their bodies are not going to make it past 50 and not even close to retirement age.

Office work is so easy on the body compared to almost any job.
