The majority of my daughter’s teachers in primary and middle school gave out their numbers. Not all, and it wasn’t a requirement, but the majority.

Not that I ever used them. Teachers work hard enough, they don’t need to be available 24x7.

Step 1: Remove EV Tax Credit Step 2: Spike Oil Prices Step 3: Put extra tax on EVs

Now you make people get EVs AND pay you for the pleasure. Extra points if you invest your stocks right to capitalize on both the spike in oil and the raised demand of EVs! So much winning! (But not for the Average American)

This is like the tips on a loading screen.

“If you are dying often, try using healing potions” “Try focusing on an enemy’s weak points”

Honestly the only phobia to passports I’ve heard is that they’re not cheap and require forms/work to obtain. I’ve got one, but if you’re just scraping by, you’re not going to want to drop what equates to like a week and a half of federal minimum wage earnings to get a document you might never use.

How so you get useful government issued ID cards there? The only argument that makes sense to me here is that making an government issued ID mandatory hurts the lower/working classes who can’t afford to take a day off work to get their photo taken and info recorded for the ID to be issued.

Not to mention they have expiration dates as people change over time (being issued one at birth won’t necessarily be accurate later if it has a photo or address or anything that, say, would be required for voting. I mean, we’ve got Birth Certificates. And we all get government issued Social Security numbers and cards. The latter isn’t supposed to be used for ID as it’s just a 9 digit number that will be reused. (but places use it anyway)

People also don’t really want everything tied to one 9 digit number. (Why Drivers licenses are better, IDK) tracking individuals is kinda anti-freedom. That said, all of our info has been leaked so many times by so many state sponsored, public and private businesses at this point that it’s all just theater anyway.

I think we can go farther… fights in tennis? Cricket? Cutting? Golf?

Actually that last one would be pretty good if we kept the same whispering announcers.

I was like “HTTP” has been around forever, sure it was out before I was ten…

Nope I was 12, ugh.

Just keep telling yourself you’re not old and soon you’ll be 45 and your back will hurt, ask me how I know…

I would love an 8K 43-50" monitor. The 4k 43 I have is nice, but i can tell the difference from a normal desk position.

I don’t think my eyes will ever care until I have a theater setup with a massive screen… but even digital IMAX isn’t 8k.

I’d like to point out that even when this isn’t true, the “major public improvement” tends to border one, close enough that it gets cut off from the surroundings and goes into financial ruin causing others to look at the neighborhood a few years later and THEN decide its property that needs to be “improved” (gentrified)… To the point that the original inhabitants are priced out of their own family homes.

One of those “whew, they dodged a bullet… Of wait, they didn’t” times that happens quite a lot.

True, but I was talking about the bottom section of the screen shot that starts with “The company is valued at 2.5T”

60B over 9 months is about 80B over the year which is about 3% of 2.5T

Does anyone else think 3% return isn’t that spectacular? Reminder, Inflation alone in 2025 was 2.7%. They only slightly did better than breaking even.

Not going to comment on his riches, we all know Billionaires are bad for the world. Just thought those numbers were kinda bad.

As a white person, I can absolutely say that every invasion we’ve done has royally fucked up the ones we’ve invaded.

I might not be the target audience though.

Waiing for Waze to add a button to self report “lake of fire” and “lava” so I can get automatically updated routes to work.

Yeah, my time is worth more than that savings.

And it works for Windows, too! Yay Linux daily driving!

Nature, uuh, finds a way.

I use a Mac at work and don’t have this problem. It’s mostly been my parent’s fairly new Windows 11 laptops. I can’t stand it and feel like Windows does nothing but get in the way of productivity in a work setting. Since at least Windows 7.

Sadly, the number of times I’ve had to reboot windows two or three times to fix an issue lately has been increasing. I’m so glad I’m not in IT trying to support windows 11.

Depends on how much money or oil changed hands.
