EXACTLY! This might actually get me into an electric, but it's actually about the simplicity. I would still prefer gas as it would fit my use a bit more, but I might be able to make the 200 mile range work. I have been telling my wife my next new car will probably be 60 years old, but there's a very real possibility I will buy one of these instead.

I haven't dug too deeply in the details, but possibly might help in my environment. Maybe. Depends on the people. My art department has a huge file storage problem because they angrily insist on storing all of their collaborative work on a single SMB share. Worse, they choose to work directly on the NAS because that's how they linked all the assets within their documents. Invariably, they clobber each others work, and Adobe products randomly blow up files. I periodically snapshot the volume but that's more of a bandaid than a solution. The only problem moving them to a version control system is I'm not quite sure they'd understand enough to use it. They struggle a LOT with the concept of file locations, file times, etc. and literally believe "the system" stores each change they make as they make it. Worse they huff when they find out we can't go back through each change for them. One dude literally said "the system" only stored some of his edits despite there clearly only being one new file revision on disk.

I may only have three printers so far, but the last time I went purchasing my partner in crime (my son) was pushing for us to join the Bambu Labs ecosystem. I hesitated, something felt "off" and being the guy with the wallet spent my money elsewhere. The printers we have are not Bambu, are working perfectly for our uses, and I'm now feeling significantly more comfortable with following my gut.

Kids are already in school doing far too little, for far too long. Then as adults it's much the same, we're spending far too many hours at work but not truly productive. Granted this isn't universal, but I'm sure many will agree more common than not.

I'm an advocate of focused instruction vs. "standardized" bulk rote learning. I'm sure many will disagree but it's hard to argue against the reality much of our college bachelor programs have devolved into an overly expensive repeat of high school level education. But school districts are often tied financially to this model, where butts in seats equals money. The teachers hate it. The kids hate it. Some parents probably like it because "I need my kids in school so I can work my full 8 hours" but is that smart? No. It's not. None of it is.

California is such a beautiful state, ruined by people who live there. Briefly worked remote at a place just south of LAX, would fly in once a quarter to rub elbows. Nowhere else have I witnessed people viciously stab each other in the back and climb over each other to get ahead, then just go to lunch and pretend they're best friends.

coming right out and saying you're a complete idiot. Notwithstanding the simplicity of replacing firmware, it is LEGAL to manufacture your own firearms. This lady is about as smart as a box of rocks, and that's being disrespectful to the rocks. The term "ghosts gun" is just mouth candy for morons.
