about 10x the cost as a penalty and only for their loss of structure, no liability or other property damage.

We used to be patient, companies like GE, Union Pacific, and Boeing were good long-term investments. Now it's "What did you do last quarter."

This puts us on a losing trajectory favoring large institutional investors who sit on boards yelling for profits.

I'm wondering about that for the real Mr. Woods.

How does he get all that time he wasted trying to convince the authorities that he was, who he said he was.
He suffered in jail and a mental institution over it.

You can't give a person back that time lost, you can't.

For months you've had to opt-in to allowing them to track what you watch. I didn't opt in but now I get no recommendations even when signed in. Curiously, when you watch a video the usual suggestion of videos appears when the video is done. I wonder how long it will be before they turn that off too.

You forget Spirit

Slow news day?

It seems that the contract review and vendor selection were extremely deficient here. Hey NASA, for $2B I'll build a space refueling system for you. You'll a;sp need to pay me in advance and I'll need $1B every six mos for additional capital expenditures and resources. Of course, I won't be liable for the delivery or performance of the system and it'll take 10 years to develop.

Sign Here and deliver the $2B upfront to my account in the Cayman Islands.

It seems unimaginable that what we're seeing now occurred long before we were formed out of dust.

I saw a video and it was a man on the street question to 4 college students. "What is 4 times 15" none of them could answer.

If the kid doesn't want to learn, has no parental guidance, and is distracted by other things in life then he won't learn anything in school. If the parents provide an environment that fosters learning then Johnny will math. Schools can't be everything to everybody even though some see them as the solution to society's ills, they are a place to learn, not solve sociology issues with home life.

If governments want to abolish you, your family, and your way of life, abolish your government. The protests have shown that the EU oligarchs are out of touch with reality and don't represent the people of Europe.

It must be a gov't that Google doesn't want to piss off. I have China in the pool.

The SAT/ACT optional issue was around DEI, not a COVID issue. But once one University did it, others followed. Now classes of 2024-2028 may be seen as "a statistical anomaly" in terms of academics.

I also like that they're balancing the applicant's score against their peers at the same high school. This eliminates most of the bias
arguments people will use.

Now let's see the other Ivy League schools follow suit.

I don't see it that way. If the OEM fixes the device, they should warrant the repaired device for the repairs made for a suitable duration afterward, a year works. If you break a screen and Apple fixes your iPhone then your screen should be covered for another year, because it's new. The rest of the device should be subject to any outstanding warranty.

If a third party fixes your iPhone screen, likewise they should warrant the repair for a year and Apple should still warrant the rest of the iPhone for the remainder of its warranty.

Besides a 2024 Samsung S24 Ultra is what $1500MSRP, that's crazy. If anything this should improve the market on maintaining your older phone. My S22 needs a new, updated battery so I'll do that vs coughing up $1500.
