than the fake shift points in their car CVTs.

I got an Idea. How about locating and deleting data centers that host these things? Deleting them from existance.

Each LMS has some amazing features and some features that make you want to go back to stone tablets.
Canvas was the first LMS we used. They always spoke about report card creation, but we got tired of waiting.
So another platform after a decade. Which swore they could import standard LMS exported content, but nope.
Back then it was a choice between roll-your-own Moodle, branded/hosted Moodle, Blackboard - experienced users said please no - and Canvas.
We were impressed by the test and backup instances, and that they were willing to try moving into K-12.
And that Canvas was built as a project after gauging dissatisfaction with existing platforms. Mostly Blackboard.
Problem? Invoke your backup instance. Not sure how something is going to fly? Try the test instance.
Working with others who have had Google Classroom - still no test instance, backups are third party, no student view.
Yes, the core of GC is free, but you're still getting mission-critical software from an ad company.
I've not kept up since we switched, but as bad as this is, this is an impressively long time to go without a crippling event.

some HOA demigod decides its their job to restrict query contents.

Got me curioser, so I googled it. One source said what I thought:

https://www.scientificamerican...

"Because gravity is necessary for density differences to arise, neither buoyancy nor convection occur in a zero-gravity environment such as space. Consequently, the combustion products accumulate around the flame, preventing sufficient oxygen from reaching it and sustaining the combustion reaction. Ultimately the flame goes out."

and

"Researchers learned that flames extinguish themselves."

and

"Oxygen could still reach a flame in a gravity-free environment if someone blew the gas into the flame or let it "diffuse" in. It is the diffusion process that spreads the scent of a perfume in a room without air circulation: the perfume slowly mixes with the air to try to achieve a uniform distribution. This process, however, is too slow to sustain a flame."

Other sites don't directly contradict this, but say fires in the ISS are dangerous because smoke doesn't rise and set off smoke detectors on ceilings like in homes, so they install smoke detectors in the ventilation ducts. Also that fires on the ISS can survive on lower levels of oxygen than humans, and thus are much more dangerous if they linger on. That's confusing; if the smoke doesn't rise, then wouldn't it smother the fire like the first site says? But if the ISS has moving air from ventilation ducts, maybe that is what feeds oxygen to the fires.

Thanks for tricking me into not being so lazy :-) But all I learned is that I don't know.

Doesn't weightlessness make fires much less dangerous, since heat no longer rises and can't suck in the oxygen they need?

So looks like AI is taking over everything, every platform, every product, every service, every job, it's a plague, a virus, a disease of some sort and apparently there is no cure, someone is always pushing it. Is it AI that is pushing AI?

40% Informative
    20% Troll
    20% Overrated /. has long become a voting system for political opinions that the moderators agree or disagree with, 'Troll' or 'Overrated' means that they disagree with the opinion, yet the opinion is a fact in this case. It is a fact that taxes are introduced by majority voting to take something away from a minority. It is a fact that income taxes were introduced only to tax the top earners and it was 1% for incomes of 3000USD and over, 6% for incomes of half a million and over, it is a fact that can be independently confirmed.

The opinion in this case is that such behavior is confiscation and that it is not a sound foundation for the economy and that eventually these taxes expand to the rest of the population because this is how taxes work.

So I wonder is it the fact or is it the opinion that the /. moderates here? Neither facts, nor opinions are a way to troll anyone, if we mark everything that we disagree with as 'troll' then there is no discourse at all.

So are you saying that a large number of people ganging together to take possession of property that is already owned by a small number of people is a fair way to run society, fair way to tax people, just invent new "taxes" on the fly on property that has been taxed already or that hasn't been sold yet, so there is no transaction, no money exchanging hands? Is THAT how "happy places" operate? Is that a sustainable path towards happiness?

This is just property confiscation, I understand that poorer people do not care about wealthier people paying anything, that's how taxes and subsidies are pushed through in the first place. However call it what it is - it is confiscation of private property. As a side note, the so called 'income tax' also started as a wealthy people's tax. It was 1% and it was only applicable to a small fraction of the population who were earning over 3000 dollars a year or so and 6% of additional tax on incomes above 500,000USD, which was a tiny number of a small fraction of people.

You can go ahead and figure out what happened to that idea of only taxing 1% of a tiny number of people over the last 113 years without my help.

that Amazon will try ANYTHING to avoid paying an actual person a sustainable livable wage.

Airlines can add more flights and bigger planes for more seats. Try doing that with a pop star.

I was responding to saloomy, who said "just make a law...".

That ain't retail. It's the futures wholesale market.

The fact that you don't list them doesn't prove their existence.

I'm aware of wholesale auctions and small exceptions. If you want, consider TicketMaster as a wholesaler.
