Is this the same in all the US? Or more so in specific states or metros?

How do you know? Did you try both? I have heard varying opinions on this.

For me leading commas make stuff easier to debug, you don't have to worry about the commas when you comment out the line on the select statement.

Space. In whatever shape or form space industry/ travel/ communication/ whatever is the current rapidly growing market.

I recommend Larry Niven's "World out of Time" in which the (cryogenically preserved) protagonist's memories are implanted in a new body by a future government. Great book.

My peoblem with taxes such as fuel tax is that they create a perverse incentive for the state to perpetuate the use of gasoline.

The state gets hooked on the tax money.

Lose weight while floating sedately...sounds good to me

Obviously no higher ups at Apple ever need to charge their own mouse.

I read the article and still couldn't understand what exactly was meant by 'defence'. Financial, defending assets? Alarm systems in the building? Deadly lasers controlled by a Red Queen computer?

Absolutely. However, an often made detraction of nuclear is that the baseload is superfluous during off hours, so hydrogen generation is worth mentioning.

An added value is that in off-hours nuclear can be used to produce hydrogen for carbon free fuel.

This same complacency and smugness in Boeing's board is endemic in America's elites. Reality eventually bites, and the longer it takes the deeper the fangs will go.

If SpaceX finally succeeds in driving down costs of moving matter to space, we can find a faroff place and store the really hazardous waste there.

"Truth will out". In the end, it will become more and more clear that the best solution for low emission, highly available, robust energy production is nuclear power in its varied forms. Best for the environment, best for civilization.

The problem is not for lack of terminal apps, there are some very good ones. What is lacking is excellent keyboard support for the full range of keys. The only one I have as yet seen is Hacker's Keyboard which is sadly not supported in the later Android releases.

I only discovered King a few years ago, having purposely avoided his books as something that "everyone liked". Now I am a fan. However, I am less fond of the film adaptations. I think that it is very challenging to make King's books into movies. The Shining is one of the more successful adaptations and ironically that which King most despises.

I also don't think there was, its more of a scifi kind of musing.

Aren't SFHs occupied more by high income tax brackets? That would balance out the property tax.

I wonder if there was anything historically equivalent to the Antediluvian lifespans described in the Old Testament. If, for example, there was something in the food a few thousand years ago in the area of the Persian/Arabian Gulf, now underwater, that could extend lifespan.

I don't quite see the reason for allcaps in the title. Otherwise, an interesting article.

Would a more extreme form of waste disposal, plasma gasification, have the same limitations?

Maybe that's the point? Getting people to quit instead of having to do layoffs.

I'll only believe its nutritionallly OK once I see the political and economic elites eating it on a regular basis. Till then I regard insect food as soylent green.

Toad is a tool for managing databases in Oracle. It makes a ribbit sound when starting up.

I can read something on screen ten times and not have it make any impression. Paper is much better for me personally.

Sources?

'You can turn it off!' he said.

'Yes,' said O'Brien, 'we can turn it off. We have that privilege.'

Sounds like the Howard Families

I also couldn't understand the title of this post. Only after reading your comment wss the meaning revealed to me.

Hah! The article reads "Published 16 January 2024" in large font right under the title. Then below it says 1988. I guess my eyes skipped over that part.

This makes it even more strange, as in 1988 there were no investors buying empty apartments, and probably more young families needing accommodation.
