It’s an economic gauge for the small segment of society that gets more income from investments than they do from wages.

Why would that be, that drone warfare advantages defense?

WW1 era weapons advancements like machine guns advantaged defense, because these new weapons were not easily mobile. But drones are extremely mobile.

Why in the world would Iran do that?

It seems to be a long term trend that gambling has spread much further, but I think this supreme court case was a point where it became essentially up to each state now to allow gambling or not.

I always default to DDG, and it gets me what I need 80% of the time. If not, do the search again with !g at the end and DDG will forward the search to Google

The solution to this, at least in my case, is that I need regular exercise (running at rest 3 miles in the last 3-4 days) to sleep well.

Engineers under such incentives should ask AI how to most easily and speedily consume as many credits as possible, I bet it knows a great way

I really wonder to what degree “Self Driving Vehicles” are being completely or partially supervised and controlled by an overseas desk worker.

My old doctor office had me waiting for over an hour in their dingy musty crowded waiting room, before I found out that they had somehow lost my checkin and had completely forgotten me. TWICE this happened.

Then I switched to a new practice that has brand new immaculate white brightly lit waiting rooms with free keurig coffee and juice and water bottles, and a big farmhouse door aesthetic. This place has NEVER had me waiting more than 20 minutes. I can’t fathom how the old place is still in business.

Edit: the new place has an official written policy that if you no-show to two or three appointments they will fire you as a patient. I respect that.

Second edit: The new place makes a big deal about how they are an “independent medical practice” meaning they are not owned by the mega corporate hospital system that my former practice was owned by. Maybe that’s the difference.

Not always, but very often in my experience, the manufacturer’s own website is more expensive than Amazon!

All those military pilots need to fly those aircraft regularly so their skills remain current, right? Might as well do it for an audience.

On my work laptop, Notepad used to have Copilot built in but now it doesn’t. So that’s a little scaling back

I had read at one point many years ago that CD-Rs degrade over time and are not good for long term backups. Is this wrong or are Blurays different?

The 1GB Gmail storage was initially announced on April Fool’s Day and it was quite the topic of discussion whether it was real or not.

A year or two later they upped it to 2GB and also announced this on April 1

It had to get really, really, awfully, embarrassingly bad for me to leave Facebook. But it really was, and a few years ago I did. If Facebook was only half as awful as it is, I would probably still be on it.

And the sneaking suspicion that every social media site will eventually devolve into Facebook has kept me from joining any more.

I still use Youtube for videos on how to do DIY home projects and repairs, but I don’t consider that social media. To me, “social media” is not “an app that distributes content”. I would say “social media” has the user’s real name on it and is for the purpose of interacting with friends and family, and meeting new people. That’s definitely not what I use Youtube for.

That’s not even it

You sit at a desktop in the kitchen to use the computer. If you have shown yourself to be responsible you know your password.

The wifi shuts off at bedtime.

My 11-12-13 year old kids have Apple Watches for communication purposes but no smartphones. These are charged all together in a locked pantry at night.

Latin was a widely spoken language in the 300s

Really, no they can’t. There is no way Kraft can shift from selling low-mid grade food to the masses, to selling premium food to billionaires, and make anywhere near as much money.
