Be interesting to see how that works. Google liquid oxygen and you'll find right away it's really dangerous stuff. Really impractical too, as you need a reservoir to fill a gill-sized unit from. It's not like you can buy the stuff at 7-11 either, you probably have to go to a welding supply place or a medical supply house. From what I can see the cost in $160/gallon, which should last a long time if it doesn't evaporate or blow up first ;-)

If you are cooking and have a May Day event or other urgent need, would you not be more likely to ask Google and get an immediate response? Sorry, still trying to get my head around the value proposition. Can imagine price resistance when you get get many professional opinions for free via Google.

Seems like a question of priority. America is the land of income inequality and we can't secure our borders. We have home grown terrorists, but no mental health resources to help even the most dangerous. Our infrastructure is crumbling. Out debt is measured in trillions. And yet we spend $750 million taking pictures of Pluto. We have serious priorities that need to be addressed. And if it were our personal bank accounts then probably all but Elon Musk would prioritize his expenditures towards more terrestrial pursuits. But when it's public money, there is no accountability. And we spend it on making Pluto the next Planet of the Year.

How long should it take to load, could not see it on iPad

A bit of risk, but huge rewards. Little planes actually glide quite well, so with some altitude it's often possible to make an uneventful landing where the plane is bent but the people are fine.

Very little upside in sharing that info. Whether they are friend or foe, your managers role is to manage the best from you. If they perceive you to be distracted or giving less than your best, there's no upside for you. This also gives your manager plausible deniability she their manager asks whether they were aware of your activities and handles them correctly.

They do SUCK, in every imaginable way. I went through a similar issue, when my download speed tanked at less than 1mbps. The network is totally unreliable and fluctuates wildly, part of the problem is that even if you get good speed, the connection time is very long, and the speed highly variable. Support will drive you nuts, you always have to prove who you are, they subject you to these patronizing precanned chat messages, there's no history or ability to track your issue when you get handed off from one tech to another, you have to start all over from the beginning. I just moved service from San Francisco to seattle. Should be easier to move it than get new - right? Hell no, it was miserable, they even did another credit check even though I was on an autopay. COMCAST SUCKS!!!!!!!
