He's 65 years old and worth almost $6B. But no, he must keep his nose to the grindstone or he'll be a rat abandoning a sinking ship. Couldn't just be sailing off into the sunset in a megayacht, why would somebody want to do that?

Sometimes the 1000 lb gorilla has the worst odds of leading the next generation because they're still making good money on the old model during the years when they would have to be building a lead in the new model, but doing that would destroy the old (highly profitable, for them) model even faster.

Online I keep hearing I'm supposed to be jealous of the EU with their great "UN Quality of Life Index" scores and whatnot, but it sure is getting heavy-handed over there.

Pretty common to hold somebody in jail on whatever charge is easiest to prove so they don't run away while you are investigating and preparing to file bigger charges.

I'm pressing 'X' to doubt. What make/model of router? I'll look up an image of the box.

Well, you can make the hydrogen easier to handle by binding it to carbon... Perhaps synthesizing jet fuel with carbon recaptured from the atmosphere will win, since it doesn't require modifying the planes and the new tech is on the ground.

Why did it need a 'big yellow burst' when it would have plainly advertised itself as a 100/1000 instead of a 10/100/1000?

Console master race stays winning, you filthy PC gaming peasants.

Buy the S2 now, while they're still working through their existing backlog of stock.

I bought a PS5Pro when the word 'tariffs' was first dropped, and I'm glad I did.

There's legitimacy to that. Taking a potentially dangerous drug under the supervision of a doctor who knows how things are supposed to work, what side effects look like, with drugs of consistent purity and dosage, has a lot of advantages over winging it with stuff made up random chinese chemicals and toilet bowl cleaner.

Unless you're talking about cocaine etc. brought to the penthouse by a personal assistant or something. Plenty of ultra-rich celebs have killed themselves that way.

How can it be that? Survival has never been more assured. I wonder if we'd be less depressed if we had to do physical labor for food and fight the neighboring tribe once in a while to punctuate life with more immediacy and urgency.

I think she could reasonably assume that she wouldn't be served liquid hot enough to literally melt her.
