Our world today must have been as hard to imagine as it is to imagine the world centuries ago. Like the entire concept that Leviticus and Exodus stated that it was wrong to accept interest on a loan. Martin Luther even tried to keep that up when Calvin split off in the early 1500s. So that’s like a 3000 year period from Leviticus to Calvinism that capitalism just couldn’t exist the way it does today. Every business and many of the shackles on society are tied to interest rates.

Yeah HP had a big push about 10 years ago to get into the enterprise game that Dell was dominating basically. Circa 2012ish? They refreshed their warranty repair system, started pushing next day delivery of parts to match dell/Apple and putting out desktops/laptops aimed at lasting for enterprise. It may have fallen off because I left that line of work shortly after, but Dell/Apple were a powerhouse at that time for warranty repairs. I could order parts at like 3:30pm and the replacement drive/ram/lcd/ribbon cables, w.e would arrive the next day. Apples would arrive by 10am, Dells around 12:30, so next day repairs were most common for me. For personal use dell also had complete care at the time, so you could run it over with your car and say hey this isn’t working, and if I had enough of the pieces there… They’d cover it. That’s what HP was trying to stack up against to get in the door I guess. Don’t know if they did

If somehow it all gets worked into becoming less detrimental I think it just needs to be reworked from the way Google and such tries to do it. Summaries shouldn’t be a default response. Waste of space/resources and can be very frustrating. At least in duckduckgo I’ve seen they try to chop it from responding, then if you want the summary you can click the down arrow so you get it.

So many quick searches result in useless data spewing on for umpteen lines taking up the whole page just for someone to glance at it and scroll past it all to a site that is specific to the data search.

What do you consider old money when it comes to the internet age? For the last good while it seems all the money surrounding PayPal/Oracle/Amazon seem to be the medium age money now. Old might be considered Jobs/Gates.

That said Powell (Steve Jobs Wife) was appointed to the board of Skydance last month.

As someone who doesn’t know much about their paid tiers, if you host it on your hardware, are there really some that are worth paying for vs just using one that’s available for free? I kind of assumed there wasn’t much of a difference and that’s why they were trying to ban ones who had “outside influence.”. Because in the end they’ll all be using mostly the same data sets and the differences will be who is manipulating the answers to influence the end users, which has some profit to it, but not nearly as much as they would need

In 2020, March 17th (St. Patricks day) was the day Desantis initiated the “lockdown” and closed all bars and nightclubs for 30 days. Trump declared it a national emergency on the 13th. Maybe they really just dislike St Patricks day, because suddenly they were all about re-opening everything for Easter

K-12 is pretty middle of the road, their higher education usually ranks pretty high I assume because many people want to go away for university, and for a long time Florida was known to be a nice place with beaches, warm weather, and vacation spots.

So sites like this will still rank them high, but really I think it’s about cost and graduation percentages rather than quality. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/education/higher-education

Bots I assume say things that make sense, lol. What I said wasn’t coherent, lol

Well maybe we are looking at it backwards. Maybe they are looking for the kids to have a shitty environment where they can’t actually learn life lessons until they are thrust suddenly into it between 16-18 and are easily moldable/groomable, then unable to perform the basic functions and called names.

They can call it the we hate our kids and want them to grow up to hate us bill.

Alright, you do you friend and we will always appreciate you. I haven’t seen the comments after is there is, if not I’ll say you are free to speak your words here. Fuck ass tits. Lol. Say what you want and be free. Love you because you are beautiful. If you don’t like saying those words, that’s you and also cute : )

I think we are more likely to see people buying the Subaru Sambar in its truck or van version. Think they go like 75mph

I can answer the question for you now. Apple doesn’t have the ability to change your password, update your 2FA phone number, or in your case because the account must have been created 10+ years ago and never updated to 2 factor which I believe is required on near every Apple device, they cant change your security questions eirher. The account is likely lost for good if you can’t go to iforgot.apple.com and get the reset information correct/kick off an account recovery. If you have an apple device the easiest/quickest solution is going to the Apple support app, clicking reset password, choose help someone else as you are likely signed in with another account, and enter your info there. If 2 factor is on, it should ask to confirm the phone number on the account, send you a code, if you get that right it may ask for your passcode you used on an Apple device previously (like 4 or 6 digit pin). If you get that right… you can change the password then and there, if you don’t have the phone number… The account recovery option it presents is your only option.

Hegseth was a “Major” in the Army before becoming secretary of defense, that’s rank O-4. He replaced someone who was a 4 star general O-10.

They ran on “hiring by merit” and put someone 6 ranks lower in as secretary of defense.

There shouldn’t have been a single veteran or member of the military who didn’t look at that and say… wtf?

I hadn’t seen him outside of like a photo after his “re-appearence” or whatever. My spouse showed me a video short of him yesterday with a journalist asking him what his thoughts are about the Republicans losing so many seats and how it will effect Trumps actions in the upcoming years. Mitch couldn’t nod, shake his head, or open his mouth. I don’t think he could even comprehend someone was asking him a question or where he was.

People are essentially pushing around a meat sack to subvert the Republic all the while abusing the hell out of this elderly person.

I would think his constituents would be demanding to know who is acting as their rep, because it isn’t Mitch, and they weren’t elected.

What are you thinking it will take votes wise to make for a government shutdown by December 11th?

Yeah culturally we would need people to accept the answer in the post, but in practice you quickly see someone pivot to then explaining why their opinion is what you should hold because the following bias information they use.

That will happen by those who are greedy, but also those who want to help people.

When someone honestly believes that switching to EVs would have somehow caused chaos, then telling someone not to buy an EV wasn’t necessarily them trying to hurt things, they believe they are doing the right thing.

I mean the Musk part of it is just weird. He owns an EV company, spends his money to hurt EV sales, supports Texas being anti EVs, but wants to move all his businesses there. Like the whole EV cab business only works if the people are willing to get in the cabs. And he’s trying to convince people on the right to hate them, and the left to hate him…

So he has to be losing half the market intentionally it seems.

Yeah I think impeachment gets dicey around what could qualify or not. Their actions don’t actually have to be criminal. What falls under harmful to the public trust becomes more of an opinion than a set rule. Like, does taking money for your campaigns from donors tied to supportimg our country starting wars across an ocean with people that in no way benefits the public? Someone could probably make that argument, that saying we should continue sending missiles to a country that has been continuously proven to use them to kill children/innocents/and needed infrastructure for humanity to survive… I would say is harmful to the public trust… But I’m sure others wouldn’t.

The comical thing is that 49 states have written laws pertaining to automatically doing a recount if the numbers are this close. Kind of like Florida did in 2000. Mississippi is that 1 of 50 states that does not have one.

So without proven fraud, I can’t see why a judge would give a warrant to recount them

Hopefully 100+ new people trying to join congress in 2028
