Comcast is a big company, if they can't be competitive then it's on them.

Comcast has received decades of subscription fees, and if they didn't allocate part of their budget to infrastructure, they have only themselves to blame.

Don't blame the customer.

If this happens ... this is Enron 2.0

I am still just stunned Steam takes that long. It should show its UI and your library virtually immediately, and fill in the stuff that requires a login second. It's just crazy. It's not 2005 anymore. Nothing else I've used in easily a decade still works like Steam.

You're intentionally ignoring the side effects of ivermectin.

One of the nice things about mRNA vaccines is that they tend to have fewer side effects. Flu vaccine always makes me feel pretty bad. Hopefully this will be better.

I believe that the USA is facing its "Hitler" moment, where about 33% of White Nationalists are taking over everybody. They don't seem to care about what is in the United States Constitution, nor about the concept about forming a More Perfect Union. It is pure selfishness.

The difference is that electric cars and trucks primarily charge overnight, when the demand for electricity is low.

You don't need to improve the grid capacity to serve people charging when you have excess capacity available.

We can't compete, and it appears we don't even want to try anymore. In 20 years your average American won't even be able to afford an American car, so I guess this hardly matters.

You're correct of course. Although it's pretty clear the original intent of the amendment was to allow states to have self-defence militias, which were common in the 1800s. The Supreme Court has obviously expanded the original meaning to what it is today over the last 150 years.

Kids who don't see their parents reading books won't read books themselves. Parents who don't share what's to love about reading raise kids who don't read. Of course, we'll blame the schools so we don't have to look inwards. But the problem ultimately lies with parents who don't themselves properly value the things they expect schools to instill in their children.

There is still value to cover letters. I worked at a company where we put a very simple prompt in the job req which told the applicant to do something trivial im their cover letter. If they failed to do it, we threw the application away. It was to screen for the most basic skill of observation and to know whether or not the asshole sending in the application had even read the job req, which many folks don't do any more. I'd think we culled 30% of applicants from the go.
