The aurora borealis would be amazing, for a limited time.

Considering the rumors of her affairs, it’s disturbing how young she actually is.

Cyclam?

Sounds like she’s trying out for Florida governor.

Regardless of AI, anything you create will be stolen from yoy by corporations that already control the market.

Our government spends more on healthcare than anyone else as well.

The US spends more on Healthcare than Europe, or anyone else. We just get worse care for it.

It’s most likely in the same style as EVE, timed skills learned based on real time. Add in crafting and similar type stuff and your character ‘stays online’ while you’re sitting at work checking an app to see if it’s time to log in and change skills.

I doubt there will be much of a pause. The oligarchs have ahold of billions in public funds to funnel off to their campaigns now. Paid shills are gonna be thick.

There’s a TON of second hand baby stuff. Most of it in great shape because the kid grows out of it long before it wears out. Consumable stuff is mostly at the super market, or occasionally big box stores.

What’s missing is community support most of the time. You don’t have a lot of friends with kids, or don’t hang out with the ones that do.

Pretty sure Japan has decided on population decline at this point. It will be interesting to see if that changes as the population drops.

You would think, but for the most part daycare is a very low profit industry. The problem I think is that all the costs tend to scale with size. So having a lot more clients just means a lot higher costs.

There are exceptions of course, but all of those that I’ve seen also have some other luxury additions to basic care.

Daycare is a crazy one. Insanely expensive, yet the workers are damn near indentured servants.

Both sides bullshit propaganda.

The entire point of the take over was to stop independent journalism. Why exactly would that change? He’s fine with CBS going bankrupt, all it’s doing for him right now is covering the cost of killing it for him.

That ship sailed. It’s unlikely the US will be leading in science for the rest of the century. China has already surpassed the US in new research right now, and will most likely keep that lead for at least the next decade or two. The US is likely to lose it’s second place status over the next decade, and will probably fall to fourth over a longer time scale.

From the actual bill:

HOWEVER, THAT IF THE WORKING GROUP DETERMINES THAT IT IS NOT TECHNOLOGICALLY FEASIBLE TO REQUIRE THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTERS SOLD IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO INCLUDE BLOCKING TECHNOLOGY, THE WORKING GROUP SHALL SO REPORT, AND NO REGULATIONS SHALL BE REQUIRED TO BE PROMULGATED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE WORKING GROUP DETER- MINES THAT IT IS TECHNOLOGICALLY FEASIBLE.

Considering the number of open source 3d printers, and mills, plus conversion packages for manual mills, It’s ludicrous to assume it’s feasible. And NY has nowhere near the manufacturing monopoly to force the rest of the country, let alone the world, to comply with a demand that all of them have blocking systems.

Even given the safety check of a working group, this same bill also makes a stick illegal. So it’s more than likely to fail on a few challenges, assuming it even makes it to final vote in this form.

Only issue I have with Dolly, or Miley, singing Jolene, is that there’s no chance in hell anyone ever stole their man.

Talent wise, they both did amazing.

Would that include Stargate SG-1? It was all filmed in Canada.

The human/gorilla common ancestor walked upright on two feet. Humans kept it, gorillas evolved towards foot/knuckle walking.
