The more land we preserve along the waterways, the better. NJ is an OLD state, which was founded by people going up the waterways and working their way inward. Over time, we have learned that we need to give the rivers, marshes, and estuaries space to do their thang. If it means paying a little more in taxes, so be it. Money is not more important than the well-being of the planet.

You sound like the people in my /r/southjersey subreddit lol. My hometown is one of the most at risk towns of sinking into the water in the state. It's already an island (in southwest nj no less) and most of the land is preserved already. The buying up of the land and marshes really helps protect the land, animals, and people. Boohoo, taxes. Without paying them, you'd be living in a cesspool like Mississippi.

Oooh. I like this idea.

Trump doesn't believe in anything except enriching himself.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. They'll pad his slush fund and the farmer gets screwed again.

Wait and see.

Sorry, that didn't work.

JFC. No wonder this site stopped accepting new accounts two years ago.

How do they know? I thought this stuff was theoretical at best.

But let's have it without the corp-sponsored surveillance and monitoring of employee life outside of work.

Minimizing energy use vs resources obtained is actually a very successful survival strategy generally speaking.

The rest of your post is a combination bro-flex and whining about "kids these days".

How many giraffes is this? I'm from the US.

I wish my mom had said she was moving.

Perhaps, but that is also a compelling reason why it should be included. Putting more RAM on the SoC has got to be a relatively inexpensive additional cost. The markup has always been high, but now it is both obscene and absolutely unjustified -- except when you factor in pure greed.

They'll still charge you an obscene amount for more than 8 gigs of RAM.

Where do you live where teachers are literally beating you?

This ship has sailed. What you're talking about is even worse; It'll end up being AI-based learning, but only enough to do the jobs your overlords need you for.

Once education professionals (the real ones, not the ivory tower academics that publish bullshit then go on to shovel the same bullshit into classrooms as part of their personal ed tech companies) are completely out of the picture there will be nobody stopping the inevitable (and now standardized!) dual-level education system.

Public School will be for poor kids who need to know how to work at Amazon and their parents need a babysitter while working their three jobs. Real education will be entirely left for the rich.
