The cost is different if you hold an airline credit card. Almost all (all?) award a free checked bag and carry on bag for cardmembers. Given the high cost of checked bags now the cards are often worthwhile after just 1 trip. Plus, while taking advantage of ultra no-frills fares is technically possible, most people need to travel with clothes. The only person I ever saw on ultra budget airlines with no bag at all was a guy going from his home to his second home.

Given the reference list, I suspect not ChatGPT, but rather https://magisterium.com/

Indeed, it has reversed in some cases. I have a laptop which boots Bazzite by default but has windows on a separate partition for office stuff.

THAT SUCKS BRO

It would be an entire 7 years later before anybody managed to put a thermistor in the package to stop cpus from destroying themselves. An eternity in that era.

Rich people like Musk generally just have the doctors/nurses make house calls. I have my doubts that Musk is going the legitimate medical treatment route but it's a popular practice. Michael Jackson had a Dr. Feelgood at his house basically all the time.

I really think Roblox is missing the point.

Sure, age-verification might impede underage use of their product, but there are a lot of adults that understand the age-verification movement to be an invasion of their privacy. Whether or not this is true, "perception is reality".

Reasons vary. I know someone working in HR at a famous Japanese company. Rotating employees to offices around the world generally falls into 3 categories- 1. Giving experience, or rewarding good workers the company would like to develop into management. 2. Temporarily getting rid of useless or unliked employees without needing to fire them, which is very difficult in Japan. 3. Specialists for specific projects where hiring US citizens would be too much of a hassle. Employees in category 2 tend to be assigned to developing or undesirable countries, but some do come to the US too.

If you enable sideloading, Android will also disable a bunch of "protections", some real some alleged. And bank apps and even stuff like my phone company's payment control app refuse to start if those protections are off.

At least that's what I glean from what Google said; we can't even test what they actually block until the restrictions go live.

The truth varies slightly from the headlines. These companies paid huge sums for offshore leases. Trump is refunding those. Still a boneheaded move but the companies involved are definitely not profiting or happy about this outcome.

Geothermal developments are legit. Essentially, most of the US geothermal sites were built/drilled back in the 70s and 80s. Hydraulic fracturing and some of the other oil and gas drilling advancements of the past 30 years have yet to be applied to geothermal. There is room for a new player to tie these things together, especially if they can build turnkey plants or sell steam to existing sites on long term contracts (they plan for both). However, they aren't worth anywhere near $3B.

I for one wouldn't vote for Jesus Christ no matter which party he'd run for. We got more than enough religious loonies.

On the other hand, there's no record about what he preached, as there's plenty of evidence that the cult that spawned in the 0070s has no relations to Jesus other than using his name (if he did exist at all).

The real problem is that given his rank, he would be in a position to hear things sooner than others further down the food chain. Anyone paying attention to who is doing any betting could have (or should have) asked what they might now that would cause them to place the bet they did. In this case, it boils down to an OPSEC violation, and that's illegal under any circumstance, punishable by UCMJ if not actual civilian law. The fact that the FBI are involved tells me that this guy will probably be facing UCMJ violations too (if he's lucky, court martial if he's not), and may not be a Sergeant Major any longer when the dust settles.

Curious, then, that if such a law was already passed that recently that the likes of Pelosi (and surely other members of both parties) still managed to get around it.
Congress (as a whole) acts as if their shit doesn't stink. It's high time they get reminded that it most certainly does.

Or, even better, kill copyrights and patents completely. They have crippled culture and innovation for long enough.
