I have all of my grandfathers old Craftsman steel-shell electric power tools with brushed motors. I put a new cord on one of the hand drills a few years ago (the old cloth covered cords are terrifying) and tried using it for a project. That thing throws sparks like a Zippo.

Thankfully, they are also just as disinterested in social media.
The workflows in FreeCAD are completely irregular and alien compared to those others. It's incredibly frustrating to use and I have had zero luck becoming fluent in it.
I've been a daily user of Pandora for something like 10 years. It's been getting steadily worse the whole time, and especially in the last two years.
I like to create my own station that is "seeded" by a few artists, and then allow the algorithm to do what it wants to play related music. This used to be great, until one day I noticed that it had become stuck playing the same 50 or so songs. This was after about three years of listening to that station on a weekly basis. As an experiment, I created a new station and seeded it again with similar artist. Again, it was fine for 2-3 years until it got stuck on a handful of songs. I did this again recently and it has become stuck within four months. There are even a few of my seed songs that it simply ignores and never plays.
* As the population ages, the elderly will pass laws and policies that favor themselves at the expense of the younger. Social services will become more and more of a burden on wage earners - even to the point of unsustainability (as long as those in power as a "ruling" block get what they believe they are owed.)
* As the elder population gradually loses their political power, the younger leaders will pass laws and policies that favor themselves at the expense of the elder. Social services will become less and less meaningful - even to the point of neglect and abject poverty for those who need it (as long as those in power as a "ruling" block get what they believe they are owed.)
Those two paths are not necessarily divergent and are quite likely sequential.
Interest rates are NOT historically high. In fact they are basically right at "average". The rates for the last five years were historically LOW.
I was hoping to see some innovation after the FCC lifted the baud rate restrictions[1], but so far nothing seems to have changed.

I know I should probably unplug them...
You mean like SLS throwing all of the remaining Shuttle engines into the ocean, and then making more of them for $100 million each, and then throwing THOSE into the ocean too?
