Now it's just a couple.

How about instead we teach students how to think and learn. They will then have the tools to learn how to use a computer or anything else in life.

Give a man a fish or teach him how to fish? The former isn't working.

Because that means it will do whatever it wants and not what you want. Which renders it an unreliable, if not useless tool.

Or is that no more? This sounds like unionizing to control the employer's actions or morality. I don't see how this is even a thing going anywhere.

The problem is that with automation the content releases start going parabolic in quantity. You think there is 'only some' slop now.. just wait a year.

We know it won't be the big AI companies. Oh right, it's the taxpayer - maybe start actually teaching basic fundamentals again before wasting money on something anyone taught basic thinking skills can figure out in a few uses without a stupid class detracting school time from learning fundamentals.

circling the sun twice in the time it takes Neptune to complete three solar orbits

thats 2x for 2002 XV93 versus 3x for Neptune. that is slower than Neptune.

direct form the summary. check your dyslexia, it's something I am always aware I have and double check.

Or very roughly 250 "Earth years." In fact it's almost exactly the same as Pluto at 248 years. Why all the fractional crap - it's nearly the same as Pluto*.

* Formerly known as a Planet.

Sorry sir, Neko The Cat did it - there is nothing we can do.

A block doesn't have to be concrete, it could be a composite that includes an exterior shell, structure, insulation, and an interior facing layout that includes channels that line up with other blocks for running utilities. Those utility channels are then covered after construction with larger interior wall panels that fasten in place - removable for utility maintenance, expansion, etc.

We have all these modern materials and manufacturing methods, no need to just make a 'concrete block' anymore - remember most of the cost of a house is not material costs but construction labor. Move the construction to mostly automated factories instead of bringing in hoards of people to tack on bits and pieces to construct a house one nail at a time.

I don't particularly like Amazon like I used to, but I haven't had your types of problems because I only buy 'shipped by Amazon' and actually read the description and recent comments before buying. Your drill was a 'bare tool.'

Once again don't buy from parties that ship their own product - generally if it is 'shipped by Amazon' they (Amazon) will handle the return without problems.

Colorado had significantly less precipitation this winter, and over here towards the east coast we are entering drought conditions in spring, and April is usually our rainy month - so much for May flowers.

I mean, it's quick to build and if you use a fastener or adhesive they still stay down even in strong wind.

No, obviously not actual legos, but a similar block type design that interlocks and offers more than just corner and straight pieces. An interlocking window or door frame could just be dropped in during the wall build.
