killed the free Web and gave birth to Telegrams, Facebooks, etc., i.e. ecosystems where people do not have to do these extra clicks.

Because of these dark money organizations and paid influencers the articles, discussions, news stopped being interesting.

Normally a person have doubts sometimes, change mind from time to time, but not anymore: everything sounds on the same note to please a supervisor.

Thank you for the advice. It seems to be in a plastic conduit, but it is a bit narrow and the cable is kind of stiff. It was installed in 70's. I have a feeling that I won't be able to pull it out.

If I have to remake it, I will probably use a conduit of somewhat larger diameter. It will be easier to service and a future expansion may be possible. For example, a LAN cable too.

As a side note, I have an underground power cable from the house into the garage. It was working fine for five decades. Suddenly, already two times, the differential automate went off cutting the electricity in the garage. It seems to me it may mean that there is somewhere a leakage of electricity into the ground.

I switched the automate back on. But after these two times it stopped. Still I am a bit uneasy. Digging anew a trench to the garage to replace the cable would be for me a monumental effort.

When I have to communicate with an "AI" implementation, I often have an impression of dealing with a mentally ill person. All answers seems to be correct and proper, until it says something so bizarre that it gets absolutely clear - this thing is abysmally stupid.

among the 10 largest in the world.

The nuclear plant is on the line of contact of two opposing forces where there is significant usage of heavy weapons.

So far we have been lucky. But just how long can this beginner's luck hold?

"In a village where people are healthy the doctor is poor."

So why would anyone want to buy a security software, if everything works fine?

Perhaps, they hoped it would be attributed to some hackers as usually, but encountered an honest engineer who understood the problem and reported it correctly. I cannot believe that they released update worldwide without testing it on some lab computers.

But they started to show us two ads before any video; and in the middle too. This is too much.

In human history a new weapon system was always used massively in a war.

When machine guns appeared, people also said that war was now impossible, since there would be too many casualties. And what? Every soldier now has a portable machine gun.

Homo Sapiens is just a cunning, aggressive ape, prone to gathering into huge social groups and subsequent mass psychoses.

My point is that the cash would be necessary in a post apocalyptic world.

In my opinion companies should have some workstations running Windows, some Linux, and some FreeBSD, and some MacOS, about equal shares.

What is the problem with that? Yes, there would be some disruption with loosing 25% of workstations, but 75% would be still working. People would be standing in lines, but it would be still much better that this.

People have different understanding of what an emergency is. It may be delivering a sick kitten to a veterinary clinic. Or a grandma who does not answer the phone-call. Or an iron that was probably left switched on. Or a depressive condition that requires some fast driving to clear the head. And so on and so forth.
However exceeding the speed limit may lead to an accident that would slow down everyone for hours.

For example, calling other unaware relatives, asking for money, to get out of some remote problematic place. Something like: "Listen, actually I did not die. I am stuck in this place, and I need five thousand dollars urgently to return home."

These issues are to be addressed before employing widely.

Before doing some work in the physical world like repairing a car or a boat, building a wooden window, soldering a copper pipe, etc. I always try to find and watch videos of how other people did this or similar task.

The 3D VR 360 videos could be useful for such a purpose.

For millions of years the air circulated freely around the Earth. Now we started taking out the energy from this circulation with the wind turbines.

Could not it lead to slowing down the speed of the winds? Perhaps, this is the reason that it is becoming so hot in summer?

I remember that when I was young there was almost always a pleasant breeze even on very hot days. But nowadays the heat can be so oppressive.

I do not know if my theory is true, probably, it needs further research.
