If you could run a dev system using the AI code with limited resources tied to doing the conversion, I can see more businesses trying to modify.

I'll likely never eat a lab grown steak or chicken breast. What i may eat is lab grown ground beef or sausage, something that has gone through a physical processing already.

Have Xi fighting Winnie the Pooh and see how quickly it gets regulated.

To me the headline didn't make sense until after reading the summary.

You realize NYC isn't just high-rise apartments, right? There are plenty of single family neighborhoods. Yeah, definitely cost more to live there but wages are typically higher as well. I have multiple friends with kids that live in the city (one in an apartment, one in a single family home) and they both love it. The opportunities they have at their fingertips is far greater than other areas. When I visited a few years ago, I was also surprised by the amount of parks/green space actually available.

I've personally lived in the US midwest, US south, and a short stint in Japan. Each had aspects that were great but each had drawbacks. In the midwest as an example, cost of living definitely lower than many places but job opportunities and overall amenities were typically hours away by car. Cost of living is lower because the winter sucks. Nov-Feb, no desire to go outside in the gray gloom.

So basically, why judge how others want to live their life?

What we've got is ICE-is.

I'd almost be tempted to buy a couple as a novelty item for my great grandkids (if I were to have any). But not as a series investment.

The "slamming the head on the turf" is related to how players fall when they are tackled. They aren't talking WWE style throws.

We had my son taking Judo classes for a couple years. One of the first things they teach in Judo is how to fall properly (chin to chest) to avoid hitting the back of your head on the mat. One QB recently took classes similar to that after having a couple concussions related to hitting the turf. There was nothing wrong with the tackles, his head just snapped back.

There's a trickle, it's DJT pissing on America.

Must be a million Waymos on the interstate in Atlanta because I see weird shit every single time I drive on an interstate or highway here.

The rule was changed because other countries (notably the Soviet union and their satellite nations) utilized full time "amateur" players.

The NBA is global now. There are a number of countries that can put a full team of NBA players on the court. Best on best makes for better entertainment. I don't want to watch a bunch of college club teams posting in the Olympics.

I will start out my comment stating that I do not know the suit regulations for ski jump.

From what I have read, each athlete must go through a scanning process that proves allowable dimensions for their custom fit suit. In ski jumping, the goal is to maximize your surface area for the best glide. Having a larger suit could help with that.

If I could temporarily make my body larger to allow for more material in the suit, it's possible that could provide an advantage one the body returned to normal size.

Your arguing extreme exceptions. Hopefully any program being set up would have safe guards in place to stop 99% of those attempts. I'm sure there will be some people who find a way to cheat the system but it would be a very tiny percentage.

Using high interest rates is a terrible reason. The rates are only high if you look at a very narrow window of time over the past 10-15 years. Historically rates are lower now than most of the past century.

If anything, the very low rates were a significant cause of inflation that allowed the GOP to win the last election cycle. Artificially forcing them lower will incase inflation.

Not just Amazon that does that. Home Depot basically has a "no questions asked" return policy. Customers will buy a $1000 product, use/abuse it for awhile (possibly until it breaks) then buy the same item again. They take the old item and place it in the new box and return it. The customer is still down the original money spent but "refreshes" their unit.

Home Depot will either resell the unit without checking or return to the supplier. When they return the unit, they automatically debit the supplier. Now the supplier winds up with a piece of garbage in their warehouse, Home Depot is out nothing because they took their money back.

The supplier has to just eat the obvious fraud due to the size of the business that Home Depot has. I'm sure Lowes and Walmart contracts are very similar for most suppliers.

It's like doing business in China. Follow 1000 rules, some extremely destructive, or go pound sand. Maybe if you're lucky you'll actually make enough profit to withstand the fraud.
