Hmmm… This brings up an interesting question for the physics nerds out there.

The desired termination of the CEO is the sudden stop at the end of the flight.

When using a catapult or trebuchet, excessive force exerted during launch would terminate the CEO immediately. This would deprive the CEO of his last luxury flight. .

What the the maximum distance a catapult or trebuchet can throw the CEO while achieving this result? Assume the CEO weighs 100kg’s and is 165cm tall.

Let’s leave interacting with customers to an AI. It’s known to have error rates and decision making ability of a drunken frat boy/sor girl. I am sure nothing will go wrong with that.

If money is involved, there is always somebody who will trade.

When one party is untrustworthy, the other party figures out a way to mitigate their risks. Raising prices, reducing capital expenditure for the country, increasing insurance coverage, not offering credit (prepayment only) and diversifying their trading partners are common ways. All of these methods long-term fuck over the belligerent party.

The effects of this dumbfuckery will hurt the U.S. economy for 20+ years.

Excessive Technology for students to use in the classroom is directly linked to lower test scores.

Reasons:

School work like any job has boring and monotonous tasks: Chromebooks etc offer endless opportunity for kids to avoid doing their work. Games, videos, or just random browsing.

Different learning methods of different students: For many students the physical act of writing letters etc on paper or reading from a physical book helps, them retain information better than a screen.

Slower speed - When learning something going slower improves retention and accuracy. It forces the brain to process the information more completely rather than skimming.

Hmmm… Iran has tens of thousands of these.

Like its predecessor, the Misagh-2 is based on Chinese technology,[4] and in particular is believed to be an Iranian copy of the Chinese QW-1M MANPADS.

Fucking lazy reporting.

Your great uncle used to be a farmer. Now he’s a parasite on other farmers as a landlord.

Who owns farms: overwhelmingly it’s inherited wealth in trust to avoid paying taxes and run by incorporated entities.

Are the workers being adequately compensated… The answer changes depending on what color your skin is and where you were born.

Gotta add on another level.

Zoning laws and HOA’s give larger construction companies a significant competitive advantage over smaller companies. This limits competition and drives up the cost while also degrading the average quality of the construction as the larger companies seek to maximize profits.

I never use any voice commands for my phone. So I disable it and uninstall all voice related apps and settings.

An unexpected benefit was this significantly improves the overall performance of the phone.

It doesn’t it’s a myth.

Lots of alcohol plus 4lbs of sugar, ouch.

Wouldn’t that also potentially mess up the kidneys as well?

4 lbs… Seriously how?.. I can hardly get through 1oz. It’s too much sugar.

The most likely explanation is that kaolinite clay is known to reduce nausea and diarrhea.

Tuapse was I believe the first time Ukraine went for the total destruction of the facilities. All the other hits have been at strategic targets that disabled key processes.

It’s sign of a massive shift in air superiority in favor of Ukraine.

I’m not an expert but from my understanding the soviet’s tactics were quite a bit different from Ukraines.

The soviet’s continuously threw away lives to stop the German advance. Constant attacks tossing way soldiers lives but slowly degrading the German supplies and manpower. The Soviet’s also lost most of their industry early on in the war. Most of it was located in regions that Germany conquered quickly or their airpower wrecked in the early months of the war.

The only reason they were able to stop the German advance at all was because of the massive amount of goods and weapons supplied by England and the U.S.

Ukraine has set up heavily defended kill zones with multi-layered defenses. Russia’s continuous attacks are chewed up in theses zones. Eventually Russia degrades the defenses enough that Ukraine retreats to the next prepared zone and starts over fresh. Ukraine has slowly lost ground but Russias entire Soviet era stockpiles have been decimated with these tactics.

Agriculture in the U.S. is in a deep recession right now. Farmers are going out of business left and right due to disruptions in international trade caused by the orange moron.

Globally farmers are doing much better by taking advantage of the U.S. shooting themselves repeatedly in the foot.

As for fertilizer shortages, most of the northern hemisphere had already stocked up on supply over the winter in preparation for spring planting. So the effect there will be minimal.

The effects will be felt first in the tropical/sub-tropical regions as they rely on a more constant supply to match their planting seasons.

Next year is fucked globally however. The southern hemisphere will get it first starting in September This will send prices soaring during the northern hemisphere winter pricing/contacting.

Growers will cut back on fertilizer purchases initially but still do okay as speculation of lower yeilds will spike commodity prices. The spike in prices will hit consumers a little bit over the winter and really get going in spring 2027.

Sadly the only qualification for becoming a parent is functional gonads not a fully functional and developed brain.

Depends on where you are. In Europe they are free and checks have a surcharge.

In the U.S. they generally charge a small fee or do other shenanigans. Example: Intuit puts the money in a holding account for 5-7 business days before delivering (guess who keeps the interest).

If sending an international ACH there is always fees even if they are hidden in the exchange rate.

Eventually when I retire, I am thinking of doing a little backcross breeding on OP tomatoes. Pulling in all the modern disease resistance package into the older varieties would make growing them much easier.

The hardest part is finding a pathologist to run the screens. I could also speed it up a bit with molecular markers but you can never completely trust them. You have to run the pathology screens.

Don’t bother, those varieties are still pretty bland. They were still bred for shipping AKA firmness. So they were very slightly better than the ones you normally find at the grocery store.
