When you tally Uber / Lyft drivers plus OTR Over The Road and Local Route truck drivers you end up with a number that is by far the largest source of employment in the United States, dwarfing the second largest category, K-12 public school teachers by a few million more jobs.
That second largest category could also be automated. I wonder when that will begin?
WHO is asking for this?
My kids would love this, and within 2 minutes there would be a skibi toilet video on each of their backgrounds, repeating infinitely.
The USB-C is also a lot more sensitive than USB-A, they wear out faster.
The USB-C port on my phone is its achilleas heel. Only about 1/3 of new cords work at all, and those that do wear out in a few months.
Sex bot vs. Attractive human partner? There's a few kinky weirdos, but it feels obvious what the majority would choose.
As a divorced man, I would choose the sex bot.
I'm in Virginia. While there is no law specifically against cruising in the left lane, there is a law that if the car behind signals by flashing their lights or honking, the driver has to move to the right. I don't bother, because in practice, the driver in front will either ignore it or will slam on their brakes.
Maryland has no left lane law at all, or any law that you have to signal for lane changes. I despise driving there. I firmly believe that at the head of every traffic jam, there is a Maryland driver.
Consumers don't choose the drugs they're prescribed. Qualified, licensed, medical professionals do.
You can go to CMS Open Payments and look up how much pharmaceutical companies have paid your family doctor.
In the US, raising the bar to obtain a license would go a long way towards making driving safer. It's almost impossible to not pass the exam, and you only ever take it once.
I also believe raising the penalties for causing a crash would help. You can kill someone and get nothing more than a $50 fine.
It would also help immensely if every state had the law that the left lane is for passing, and it was enforced.
...but I don't.
How else do you differentiate your product from all the others?
Thinner.
Faster? Better? Who cares.
Cheaper. That's all I care about.
If you voted for Trump you voted to raise your taxes by about $2,000 a year minimum. Do you have a couple hundred dollars a month you can give trump? You're about to find out whether you like it or not...
The 2017 Trump tax cuts were about to expire. Every person reading this would have been paying several thousand more a year in taxes.
My daughter had a scheduled check-up with a pediatrician, and was having all the razor blade throat covid symptoms. So I called ahead and asked if we should reschedule. Nope, they said. Should she wear a mask? Nope, they said. They said they don't even test for it anymore.
Weird. I remember having my kids tested through a car window in a parking lot by a lab tech in a biohazard suit.
That sucked.
129B masks per month is 16 masks for every man, woman, and child on Earth. That's a new mask every other day for everyone.
I used one disposable mask for the entire pandemic. It was pretty funky after two years.
I want cheap actual hot wings and I don't care where they come from.
Even without watching youtube in the bathroom, my phone is probably the filthiest item I own.
I couldn't poop without my phone in my hand.
Before smart phones it was magazines.
(For the younger folks, back in the day that was like a website but on paper.)
There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence. -- Jeremy S. Anderson
