Pray tell, what do Swiss people look like? What does "Swiss culture" look like? What language do they speak? What are their traditions? Do enlighten us.

We're talking about Switzerland. Not Sweden.

Ah, but you do need to "sell" a nonprofit ... to donors. When making decisions about where to spend their money, high-value donors want to know about the organization they're giving money to. For this reason, nonprofits have valuations, although they aren't calculated the same way as those of for-profit companies.

It can get pretty weird, yeah ... especially when you're trying to assess intangibles, such as "goodwill."

It's not just the capacity, it's also the weight of the battery, which is significant. U.S. roads have maximum weight limits, and those are cumulative for the whole vehicle, battery and all. Heavier battery means lighter cargo.

"can't tell the difference between a game and reality"

Uh, while I would argue that you should probably care because that person should be focusing on an investor meeting, it tickles me that you're suggesting somebody playing a videogame during a meeting supports the assertion that "they can't tell the difference between a game and reality".

That would probably amount to a whole lot of people who can't tell the difference between a game and reality (which I don't agree with) rather than a whole lot of people are not focusing on what they should be focusing on (which I do agree with.)

The practical application IMO is a glorified cubicle. I just want to be able to put on a headset, and have a wireless keyboard and mouse with a 32" 4k monitor anywhere I need to go.

Laptop screens are way too constrictive and the ergonomics are atrocious. But we're still a long way off from 32" 4k display equivalent VR.

There is also the problem of maintaining approval over the duration of a project. If voters approved something and couldn't ever be messed with then things would proceed more smoothly. But if at any moment its popularity drops below 50% suddenly it gets defunded and dies and is nearly impossible to revive.

I've seen several infrastructure jobs suffer this fate. It gets approved, then during planning and development voters change their mind and the project is shutdown. Then a couple years later voters change their mind again but it's too late everybody has moved on and you have to start the whole process over again.

When projects take a decade or more, that means it has to survive the political winds for an eternity.

How do you figure that one? Oil and gas are about 30% of the UAE's GDP. They're something like the fourth-largest exporter worldwide. And leaving OPEC will allow them to increase production however they see fit, unrestrained by OPEC rules.

OK, so if the press dropped the word "war" altogether and instead used the phrase, "the United States and Israel's unprovoked attacks on Iran," would you be satisfied with that?

I remember BBEdit from ages ago. But these days, hell, I just use VS Code.

Totally curious how your prompts went for this. Did you give it an existing code base? Just told it what the game looked like? Assumed it knew already?

"Having worked in public school education"

Lol. Means shit all for caring about better education.

"as it helps teachers and their healthcare/pension benefits"

Yes, you dipshit, it must be crazy of me to think that paying teachers well leads to better teachers.

Why would teachers want longer school days? School day lengths are fine. Longer school years? Is school a job? The length of the school year is for kids. There's a reason why schools have breaks, its for students. Additional money for after school activities? I mean, at this point I conclude you're a moron (actually I knew you were already moron) - that's a major ask of every teacher strike I've ever seen. (I dunno, maybe you've been surrounded by fellow idiots? Maybe this is what drives your pessimistic view on the profession .. )

Dollars to donuts, your "Having worked in public education" claim is as IT or computer something something, which doesn't make you an expert on public education. More of a useful idiot, every time I read your words.

Allow me to repeat my comment.

Aw, WSL is actually pretty cool. At least for Windows 10, it made it feel more like macOS, with a real commandline instead of the freakish thing that is PowerShell.

Or just schools, period.
