I'm still mad about Hangouts. >:(

Gmail and the like are great, yes. I would have a tough time without it. But I have decades of email and an unwilling to pay to upgrade my Google storage quota, so all my Gmail older than one year gets downloaded to my local mail client (which used to be Thunderbird, but I recently switched to Seamonkey because I got tired of multiple message corruptions).

Personally, I think it's kind of remarkable they have so many drives that have lasted as long as they have (7+ years). My understanding has been--and confirmed by my own experience--that once a modern drive hits ~5 years old, its days are numbered. I wonder if a lot of their drives spend most of their time quiescent? If no one is reading or updating data on them for days at a time, there's no point to having them run. That's got to help with longevity.

Older drives fail more often? Who knew?

I've had COVID twice, and my wife once, and we can confirm it's like a bad cold. Neither of us have gotten the "vaccine". We aren't in top health, but we don't have multiple co-morbidities like the vast majority of deaths from COVID have been. (which suspiciously have all the blame placed squarely on COVID's shoulders, which is very fishy to me)

I think you've dramatically exaggerated the ability of third-world nations to pay for desalination plants to be constructed.

I already miss the Gooooooogle.

Possibly, but if Jesus Himself was cool with eating meat (cooking fish on the beach after His resurrection), then I can't see any inherent virtue in abstaining from it.

The said, the prospect of there being megafactories that are capable of churning out more lab meat than the world can even want is fascinating to me. (delicious economies of scale)

Only if he bought Youtube as well. That way he could consolidate them all and call it "YouTwitFace".

If you concentrate, you can go to a camp to learn all about it.

Try Das Keyboard. Mine was $99 (about 3 years ago) and I love it.

Princess Diana is the highlight of the season. Quite the rollercoaster! If you're into that sort of docudrama storytelling.

U6 unemployment rate is 6.6% (https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_u_6_unemployment_rate_unadjusted), but what's more interesting to me is the "Not in workforce" of 99+ million, or 29.9% (https://www.usdebtclock.org)... which tells me if too easy for Americans to not have a job.
