Legally I'm a software engineer despite not having a degree in engineering or computer science.

Not much I can do about it. That's my job title and what I put down when I am told to provide accurate information to a government agency.

You may certainly petition the legislature of my state in order to force my employer to change their job titles. But it's out of my hands (I also do not care)

You've heard of ironwood surely? Then why not iron cheese?

Imagine how much more plastic and other petrochemicals you'd have if we stoppes burning most of it.

Just because some people want to put their penis into everything doesn't mean everything looks like a vagina.

Because the first thing I'm told is the most likely correct thing.

Economists can attempt to build a model that has some predictive power. And we can wait a year, a decade, whatever and throw out the models that don't fit reality. We've theoretically been doing this for 250 years but there is also a very good reason most of us think economists are full of shit.

And the people who are into having a camera in their bedroom want to get paid per minute.

Ukraine has no way around these security measures, not without having someone on the inside helping them...

The whole Netflix DVD mail thing is what had me drop TV service and go Internet only. I can't stand long interruption with ads, I start to lose the plot and don't enjoy watching. And I don't watch a lot of series, especially if they are new. I'd rather let someone else tell me if it is worth starting. Been burned too many times on stuff like Lost.

They will be coming to crop shortages in North America and Europe. So I don't think you get it.

People will either buy it or ignore it. Not the first silly product from them that most of us will not remember.

We'll be wondering why there are so many starving refugees before we move a millimeter on the climate change issue. Of course, the longer we wait to act the more expensive and difficult it will be to overcome. But doing things the stupidest and laziest way possible is a bit of a pattern with us.

I pay more than that in bank fees for using out-of-network ATMs.

On the other hand, I can just stop at one of my broker's ATM when I leave my house for work, groceries, appointments, etc. And take cash out of a debit account, or if I bothered to set it up, an LAL account (Liquidity Access Line).

A good portion of the world wouldn't want to move to a white nationalist country, so I'm a bit confused why we're trying to create one if we also want to think of ourselves as capitalists and profit-motivated.

That's terrible, they poured $15.5B into the industry over the course 25 years.

Wait no, that was the US. And it was Boeing alone they poured that much into.

The US/Boeing and EU/Airbus have been arguing back and forth for years about each side's unfair aerospace subsidies (that are not subsidies if you ask them).
