Let's just replace it with Charlie Kirk Story Hour. That should be more educational!

Yeah, that's how I learned unit conversions, fluid dynamics, combustion engineering, botany...

More importantly, I can't think of anything on my 2022 phone that wouldn't be "current" today. Even my 2019 phone would work, if they didn't withold software updates.

Those are stoners, not children.

DHS this year has started saying the same thing about the eVerify system they provide to check if someone is legally authorized to work in the US. DHS went to the media to badmouth a police department that hired a supposed illegal alien. When the PD pointed out that DHS had cleared the hire through eVerify, DHS's response was to call their own information unreliable and scold the PD for using it. (If they had not checked eVerify, then of course DHS would have identified not checking as the problem.)

The ID could clearly indicate your citizenship status, and it would still be deemed "unreliable". That's what they have to claim to make small-minded people think it's OK for masked secret police to arrest random people - American citizens - for no reason, with no recourse, and no accountability. The waters must be muddied.

Links to your social media accounts. Maybe passwords too, until they get direct access to the backend in the field.

There might be something to this. You'll still have a new product launch each year for the people who watch keynotes and just want a reason to give Apple money. And for the people who buy technology to solve a need, there would be actual generational improvements in the product lines.

It doesn't take much more than 2 a day to start seriously damaging your organs. Plenty of people have killed their livers with less than a six pack per day. It's the consistency of doing it over long periods that seems really damaging. Drinking on vacation probably won't kill you. (Unless you drown or something)

You sound an awful lot like the articles the tech billionaires are shopping around in the media now. The thought that someone might be able to break the spell they have over the kids scares them deathly. Getting the kids hooked early is what guarantees the tech billionaires their continued power.

They love it when you focus on the government as the be-all end-all source of evil in the world. Then you don't look at who's really pulling the strings: them.

Allow me to help. The summary used words like "gradual" and "long-term". It took decades for America to build its position of leadership in the world. The slide into irrelevance will take years.

"Qualcomm" has never been associated with gaming, much less "gaming platform flagship".

I'm guessing it's an Android phone without a cell modem.

Climbing down with a bunch of shit strapped to you is more likely to end in death than coming down unladen.

I think the wind would be a bigger issue than the altitude itself. Ventusky is showing wind speeds of 90mph at 30,000 ft over Nepal right now, and I believe that's fairly normal.

Maybe they have a calm season, but I've heard it's unpredictable and highly variable.

Note also the "ransomware negotiator" is from Texas. Texas has lately been making itself known as the destination for scams of all kinds.

I think Mr. Martin's main fuckup here was not cutting off some of that BTC for Ken Paxton. Now that there are criminal charges and media scrutiny it's probably too late.

There needs to be a lot more focus on this. Forcing people to drive who have no desire or capacity to do so is bad for other drivers.

More options means less vehicular traffic, period.
