Properly roasted, beef marrow is delicious especially as an appetizer. Not only that, you can use melted tallow as an ingredient in pemmican which will remain fresh and edible for years if you do it right, making great emergency or camping rations.

It's simple if you use Rufus to create the installation media, no harder than using MS's media creation tool, which if I remember correctly has a tendency to fail if you don't run it from the media that you're going to use for the image.

What is "Rufus" please?

Maybe a shirt with a load of random face-like markings? A hat with IR LEDs? The point is not just to screw with their system, it's to make them react so they reveal the use of the system.

I was about to ask and ponder the3 IR LED thing.....does that still work?

If so, I'd like to get some kind of wearable rig together to wear all the time to mess with all cameras around me....and my car!!!

There are already common work-sheets to compute recommended loan level based on wage and employment statistics in various fields. If somebody is foolish enough to ignore such warnings, then the problem is on them. I don't believe low-wage degree earners are necessarily more egotistical or greedy than high ones, barring solid evidence.

We obviously can't depend on people to make informed decisions here...so, rather than warn....lets just STOP giving loans out for worthless degrees, period.

It's obviously true.....we see tons of kids out there with massive loan debt that studied worthless degrees in college....that's half the problem.

Do you mean the one that was launched in late 2024 or is there some other probe with that name that you're thinking of?

In my case they succeeded quite thoroughly. When I saw what Gnome 3 was going to be like I started looking around, and by the time it came out I'd migrated to Xfce and Compiz and never looked back. It's lightweight (An important consideration at the time because money was tight and RAM upgrades weren't an option.) easy to configure and lots of eye candy available if that's what you want. Most of that goes on my laptop so that I can show off to people still using Windows and ask them why their computers can't do that.

We shouldn't just presume careers that pay less are the biggest source of loan problems.

Why not?

If you take on debt to learn skills we KNOW will not allow you to earn enough money to pay off once in practice...that by definition leads to loan payment problems.

We need to STOP loans, scholarships and grants for any field that has no realistic promise of having the student make enough money to pay back plus extra.....let's only target fields we need that make money.

If you want to take the other crap...then feel free to pay for it yourself.

with majors that are money losers in the job markets.

Well, how about we STOP giving grants, scholarships and loans (especially loans) to students for degrees that are worthless. If you want to study the effects on underwater basket weaving on indigenous gender fluid mollusks....then you pay for it on your own time.

I think that might cut a LOT of waste out.....let's try to only train for things that will benefit society and make the student some money after school

Cut the students and that will cut the loans and colleges will have to drop prices back to more normal levels.

and even many fuckable men want to pay...because they want someone more attractive than they can get on their own or think it's simpler to pay a prostitute than look for a hookup on an app.

Remember, when you've buying SEX with a woman, you're not paying her to come there....you're paying her to LEAVE after you're done with the deed.

With regular women dates....it can quickly become much more expensive....as that they want more, don't always go away and if they stick around long enough they can really cost you.

In many cases, it's better to just set the parameters at the beginning....because either way as a man, you WILL pay for it.

You only need to look at the overall population. 80% of people in the US live in urban areas.

What do you define as "urban"? I tend to think of extremely dense cities, like NYC or maybe Chicago.

I don't generally think of places like Houston as "urban"...since they are so spread out, not vertical like NYC where apartments stacked up and no private parking is the norm.....

IN the US, we really dont have THAN many classic urban areas.....at least not to my mind.

I think the urban of NYC matches more with Europe cities.....but. Many large cities like LA or Houston do not fil that type of urban mold.....

With that in mind I don't think you're comparing apples to apples with regard to EVs....

Their big problem is that they haven't figured out how to make money on EVs. Part of the problem is their dealer networks don't want to sell them due to the lower maintenance costs. That keeps the volume down to where they can't amortize the costs properly.

In the US...also, there just is not THAT much demand for EVs. The people that want them largely have them.

You might get a few more when the price on EVs comes down and people see that used resell don't bottom out so much.....to make it a better value.

But other than that, the rest of us in the US just really don't want an EV at this time, especially those of us that cannot charge at home for whatever reason.

I don't know just what you think the term Tragedy of the Commons means, but whatever you think it is is wrong. It refers to the idea that if everybody has unfettered access to common resources they will, in time, over-use and destroy them.

That goes back to the Eighteenth Century, or possibly earlier. The idea was to make sure that soldiers didn't have an easy excuse for being late for muster.
