Indeed, as long as a human bears the end responsibility there is no problem.

To complete your correct reasoning, bend cucumbers are also Class 2, the reason is you get less in a package thus transport would be more expensive (and less economic).

Well spoken!

Same here, a nice tool this One+ Tab2.

You do have a point but you're story is too long to keep the attention of many.

You mean similar to how it's run now?
I mean, you can't trust the politicians and have to hope the courts keep them in check...

Brick and mortar stores are hard to come by these days. And they are infinitely more fun than online stores.

I shoot with Kodak T-MAX 400. Love the fine grain.

The man was for years the big boss of Halliburton and as such very much involved in the oil industry.
And it likely had a strong influence on his planning the action to take Iraq...
(Not that I feel sorry for Saddam)

Or Kings of the Wyld, which is about an adventuring group that comes out of retirement for one last mission. One of them retired to be a city guard, another a king... pretty good story. Good mix of pathos and humor.

Nice to see this example of international cooperation.
Because you can't expect any country to have the full infrastructure like a space station to start with.
When the world is indeed serious about space travel all should have a chance to contribute according to their available tech.

BTW, the Japanese drive on the other side of the road (not the right side)...

Over here in the Netherlands next week we have parliamentary elections.
Because of the mess politics made during the past two governments these are very significant elections.
However the outcome will be, the next government will need a coalition of four to five parties for a majority in parliament.
A lot of people (the dumb half) are not sure who to vote for and they ask ChatGPT, the sad thing is this system seems to only know two parties while there are twenty five on the ballot!

You're right. And before people chime and say

but the billionaires don't have the wealth, because if you add up their wealth, it's a small fraction of the problem!

we need to realize a few things: the billionaire oligarch ultra-wealthy folks (the top 0.1% or so ~ those with hundreds of millions of dollars or equivalent, or more) choose to allocate huge amounts of wealth to frivolities (yachts, etc.), which in turn sucks away resources from real concerns (food, housing, health care, the environment, elder care, education). We live in a world with finite resources and the allocation of those resources matters. There is a zero-sum element at play. In addition, the uber-wealthy control the major global media and also the major political parties, which means that the uber-wealthy control the national discourse & the allocation of national wealth. We need to push back against the ultra-wealthy or else we will be left with a mere pittance. They will call this pittance "basic income," and it will be bare-minimum subsistence living, scraping-by survival income.

Don't be surprised if attempts to tax the wealth of the ultra-ultra-wealthy will be met with a deluge of articles in the news media about how it can't work, won't be done, etc. Tax wealth, not work!

Most of the "sentences," as defined by punctuation, are really just phrases. The article was published on Substack, so not only are there no editors, but apparently no standards. Please take time to edit your work, otherwise it's illegible. I'll take a stab at repeating what I just said, but in that same terse style:

The author used sentence fragments. Hardly 5 words. Barely even phrases. What the hell? Twenty years ago, this would have triggered editorial review. Not now. Nobody cares! It's awful. Here's what bloggers don't want to acknowledge: writing takes time and effort. It's a skill. And guess what? If you write well, people will have an easier time understanding your point. If there ever was one.

I live in Philly as a transplant. The place seeks validation more than does DJT.
