Why censor your own words? It’s not like you’re not saying them.

I run teams in Firefox and it’s fine. Audio and camera are stable for hours. You can use a private window to test if it’s your extensions

WebEx also has audio settings which teams doesn’t

For me if Christmas eve is a Monday we usually get the whole Monday off, if it’s later in the week we only get a half day. We get from Christmas eve 12 noon to January 1 off normally

RIFTS is set in the future, 300 years after an apocalypse brought magic back to earth

It’s fantasy + sci fi

Legal eagle has a video spelling out which laws are broken. Note that there are specific laws against paying people to vote

Use a throwaway email, drop it as soon as the promotion is over

That’s “parent” not “adult”

I with no kids at home have excellent sleep

Teens are the ones (after new mothers) who suffer the most, with natural sleep cycles starting around midnight or in the early morning and wake times in the late morning or early afternoon, but school schedules that force them to be active at school from 9am

My sister got told off regularly for reading after lights out

As adults my mother told me that after they found books for me I liked they pretended to never notice the light leaking through my doona, they were just happy to see I was reading

It’s not like the US manufacturers anything anymore, and Hollywood has forgotten how to make movies

It’s like you don’t even try to export your culture anymore, when I was a kid everyone watched Sesame Street, now all the kids in all the English speaking world are watching Bluey

Yeah public transport is ideal for most transport cases and should be funded by cities to the level to allow it to provide that

But still some cases call for individual transport and my preference on that is taxis over Uber and the like as taxis have a duty to pick up anyone who can pay which the newer companies don’t

I hope that self driving taxis include accessible ones, I expect there will still need to be a class of staffed cars to help people who need assistance - eg those who can’t lift their bag into our out of the vehicle, those who need assistance to put on a seat belt

Occasionally my phone recommends an article to read that I find interesting, I click it and it opens in the built in chrome based browser and is a sea of ads. Fortunately there’s an “open in Firefox” button so I actually can read the article

Gen X here. I agree torrents are for legit uses only

Usenet is the best for piracy

Generally yes, buy when it is low. Have a look at some graphs of recent performance to see if this is lower than typical weekly low points

Tesla does have room to expand; the biggest risk is that Musk does something stupid that damages Tesla, he has not done so yet - he seems competent at running (or has given important parts of the job to competent people) Tesla and SpaceX

Safer investment is through exchange traded funds, especially those which track major indexes (also known as index funds). You buy these the same way you buy other stocks - you’re buying shares in the fund

They should outcompete Uber and the others. They should provide very low cost point to point transport

I think he made it reasonably clear that $30k was for the small self driving taxi, and the mini-bus would also become available

It’s pretty cheap

European law says you need to identify paid content, it’s up to the channel to decide how, it’s usually “AD” written in a moderately contrasty color in the top right of the screen

It’s more than that. You need a chance for your body to recoup. People exercising hard more than 3 times in six days are doing themselves damage

People since ancient times have lived as long as modern people

More of us make it to the very old ages than twenty thousand years ago, but even back then those who survived childhood had a good chance of making it to old age
