So this means these areas were once not ice covered? Does this mean the area is returning to what it was a thousand years ago? And, back then, this was the normal or is ice covering the normal?

I don't see that on my Android phone with Chrome. Looks good for me.

My son lost his job so did InstaCart for a while. He got really good at it and started making good money. Then they sent him to an apartment complex but didn't give him an apartment number.

He called support who contacted the customer and said they were on their way and could he wait five minutes. Of course he did but 30 minutes went by.

Contacted support again who said customer would be there in five minutes but, 15 minutes later, support said to just take the goods back to the store.

He took the goods back to the store but the store refused to accept them. Support said he could just donate them or keep them.

Despite showing the back and forth text messages, he was deactivated for not delivering to the customer.

I had moderator privileges and I used them mainly to just get people to follow the rules. But the higher ups didn't want you to do that due to the "be nice" policy. "But...but...it's a direct violation!" I'd say. Then I'd be declared a bad guy and put into moderator jail for a while.

That happened often enough that I just gave up. I rarely felt the need to ask questions cause I was pretty good at what I did so I quit altogether. For fun, I signed in and noticed about a 2000 uptick in my standing and three "best answer" awards.

You can Google for the same information as I did over the past year. I won't do it for you.

Uh, wouldn't that be the same? Let's say factually and statistically. In any case, I posted that to balance what the other guy said which was misleading at best

That's a tangent that won't work here as others have said.

You're thinking of Steve Jobs and his attention to detail on the inside of Apple computers; a trait he learned from his father as detailed in the book about him by Walter Isaacson

>>I get that we live in an era where the machine writes most/all of the code

Only on the Internet is this true, not in real life. I cannot and do not trust any of these things to do a proper job because they have not in any situation succeeded in any job I've given them. And no company I deal with claims otherwise
