If you thought that, you are probably American, and therefore badly educated.

In most of the world, an engineer designs engines - and/or their control systems. (Whether petrol, steam, or electric - or even hydrogen).

Copper is actually about to become MORE expensive than fiber for a second time - pay attention to the metals market. Copper had a bad dip but it's recovering and will soon once again climb back up into double digits per pound price, at which point fiber is the penny pinching alternative.

>Leave them there permanently but give them a way to access TikTok so that they can live cover from the scene to other disbelievers.

Like Stanley Kubrick did in 1969, but without TikTok. Authenticity for the win.

My jaw drops, but then I split. Half of me remains smugly looking down on fuckwits, but the other half hears that Samuel Adams' Utopia, which costs about the same, is supposedly showing up in CostCos, and while I can't justify getting a bottle .. maybe I don't have to justify things.

Other countries aren't putting US-registered SIM cards on their daily missile attacks.

How many times have people been told to use the Oxford comma and still get it wrong?

When I gave up cable well over a decade ago price was the reason. I couldn't justify the yearly cost increases when I was only watching ten or so channels on a regular basis.

My parents still do though my dad keeps questioning if he wants it any longer. They don't watch much any more and the cost is out of hand.

What they do is spend two hours or so every night watching YT videos of places around the world or watching shows about this or that subject.

Who knows, maybe I could write a cool indie game during my 18 months off and I'd never need another corporate job again?

Let us know what torrent it's on.

No. Because the company collected the data in the first place. "In a database" is a place where criminals are likely to devote enormous resources to stealing it, and which they are unlikely to be able to protect adequately. On top of which, exactly 0 customers want their details to be stored.

Except for that one time it was Lupus!

When the next Democratic president waves their hand you can be sure the Supreme Court will do its duty and say that waving is not part of presidential powers and block whatever it is they want to do.
