Can you please share more?

Yep -- every message I send includes a requirement that CC read my non-negotiables, repeat them back to me, execute tasks, and then review output for compliance with my non-negotiables.

A minor detail, surely.

I would prefer if awards were given to people for something they achieved, not for something they promised to achieve.

The Arab Spring did not occur in a vacuum. If you're satisfied with America's public or private involvement, great. General Wesley Clark has a rather infamous interview from 2007 that you may want to consider.

Anyways, I think Trump is better motivated by not giving him the Peace Prize.

Do you have watch history off? I have never experienced anything like this, but I pay for Premium.

Incredible! I love it. And wow what an awesome office..... the walls are exquisite. Thank you very much for sharing.

I also have bright rope LEDs surrounding a few of my room ceilings, hidden behind coving. That light reflects smoothly off the entirety of the white ceilings. A great combination of very high intensity lighting, that is also gentle, diffuse and calming. Summer days, indoors, all year round.

I am intrigued -- please can you share any publicly available image of this solution? I'm not sure what to google search, or what it would even look like. But I am interested in feeling better while stuck indoors all day.

Lest we forget:

"The entire infotainment system is a HTML 5 super computer," Milton said. "That's the standard language for computer programmers around the world, so using it let's us build our own chips. And HTML 5 is very secure. Every component is linked on the data network, all speaking the same language. It's not a bunch of separate systems that somehow still manage to communicate."

Ditto. Learned how to effectively use it in college - I'll never stop!

Go ahead and make your accusation, you wimp.

Here I am with my stupid USB-C ports that have an ugly, unwieldy dongle attached to them so that I can use my USB-A devices. If this is the future, I don't like it.

After moving my kids out of a bad elementary school and into a fantastic district with a highly ranked school, the differences are obvious. The good school has smarter kids with better parents. The bad school had dull kids with bad parents.

The kids at the new school do their homework, read, play outside. The kids at the old school skipped homework, played call of duty, and could hardly read.

The new school has fun exercises like the "word of the week" -- and they swear they will rarely assign homework. The old school had mandated trips to the library so kids could take home books and ignore them, alongside a minimum of 1hr of homework per night.

In the bad school, a class of 24 had 11 kids who would not behave themselves, ever (one of the kids would often pick up his chair and hit other students and his aide). In the good school, a class of 24 has 1 kid with limited behavioral issues.

Anyways, the people make the place -- and that includes kids.

The Obama administration wielded the power of the executive branch against its political opponents. And then the media ran cover for them -- "the Obama administration had no scandals!"

Using the IRS to target your political opponents should have been disqualifying. Running guns to the cartels should have been impeachable.

A better example might be the treatment of whistleblowers?

My Dell Precision laptop running Win11 handles this perfectly. Wish I had tried this sooner :P

I haven't seen it. What I have seen is the folks who lie and steal get promoted -- they all seem to be in a big club together. Blatant stealing, too. Here's an example: my team created a new product to address a time-constrained market opportunity. We basically did 99% of the work that two teams would normally do. A VP for those two teams then gets on stage and gives an award to his two teams for doing 100% of the work. My team is given no credit or mention.

Another VP gave an award to one of his teams for implementing a company-wide system. His team was actually one of the last adopters of the system that my team identified, implemented, refined, and delivered.

Anyways, they are running two different companies now.

Your post just deeply offended me and I am contacting the relevant authorities.

I agree with you. I shouldn't have framed this as a false dilemma, and I didn't put a whole lot of thought into my comment.

Played an insane amount of WC3 mod with you guys. Thank you for all the memories.

Used to play CS1.6 for 30-40 hours a week in a DFW-based server called A Better Place to Play. Every time as_oilrig showed up in the rotation, people would scramble to join me on the CTs. We had so many great strategies, we could win almost every round. (And mind you this was a 32-person pub.) Greatest of times, and only possible because the server had a dedicated community and our clan was meticulous.

Also there were some killer WC3 mod servers out there. My goodness the fun that was had....

1. The Republican party of 10 years ago is not the Republican party of today. 2. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Agreed. As another commenter pointed out, this is state socialism. But sometimes state socialism works. The other option is to let MBAs run Intel even further into the ground.

If it means anything, Masimo acts like they invented this technology when it originated in Japan.

HM Aeron has saved me thousands in trips to my sports therapist. Already paid for itself 3x over.

Thank you for taking the time to post this. You've outlined problems that are absolutely solvable.

Well it looks like I missed the boat. Current price $137.

Great example. I used to love rip currents as a youngin. Just swim parallel and body surf back to shore. Sometimes I used to just swim into them for the workout and amusement. But I got older and it had been about a decade since I had ventured out into the ocean -- was out body surfing for about 20 mins before I got caught in a fairly normal riptide and ran out of energy really fast. Would have been really unfortunate if I hadn't been in the same situation hundreds of times before. I was panicked and debated yelling for help lol.

I don't understand why they need apps for this either.

Data.

Reminds me of my orientation week before freshman year. They separated us by race and then told every group what special resources they had on campus and all the additional support they would receive. My group had none of these advantages bestowed upon us. At the time I found it bizarre and jarring because I had been trained to think that what I was experiencing was a "good" thing. This was almost 20 years ago.
