That's funny. That's what happened to the piers in WWII. I guess they forgot that part?

Look, we all know the only thing stainless steel is good for is the temporal flux dispersion. In all other ways it's a PITA.

Maybe things have changed, but in the US it used to be a question of when does a digital file "exist". The law was: when you buy a digital asset, the first time that asset is instantiated is the one true version of the file. To sell it you MUST sell the device where it first appeared. So you have to sell the computer, phone, or tablet that was used to download it. Maybe that law has been revised.

Seems like what we are seeing is the natural progression of an oligarchy. Jolly good read: https://terikanefield.com/making-sense-of-it-all-a-journey-through-books-part-1/

These concepts confuse me. There is clearly a range of variation in physical form of humans. Over time we've assigned meaning to some of those variations. Sure you can DNA test and try to correlate those variations to DNA but the underlying idea that assigns meaning to it all is purely made up. Historically, I can't see anything positive to come out of these constructs and I see nothing useful about them. Ultimately, what does that have to do with CRT (seriously, after all these years I can't even tell you what CRT is, it seems like an idea for judging bias in legal settings, not something 3rd graders will ever learn).

It always has been, and always will be, voting for the lesser evil. That's because of the voting system. Single vote, winner take all. Push for ranked choice or some other vote system. Then we can learn if it's turtles (evil) all the way down.

Ah, so much hostility. Smells like reddit.

I'd been saving to get a new car for a decade but I dumped Tesla from consideration back in 2020 when I saw how they responded to the pandemic. Musk clearly put corporate profits above worker safety. The management team's job is to find a way to do both. So I bought a Chevy Bolt EUV. It's a Chevy, right, but damn, it's the best new car experience I've had. That thing is a blast to drive and 130 eMPG is awesome.

Electronics Engineering is a big field. What's your favorite part so far?

I haven't been back. Doubt I ever will. No point to it.

Like many people, I suffer from Refrigerator Blindness. My wife, however, does not. I learned to never assume we are out of something. I always assume I just can't see it.

All I know is I'm not there. So traffic must be at least traffic--
