I was on a flight from FTL to NYC and saw some guy bring a duck on the flight. The duck was classified as his emotional support animal.

It was a good idea, but once again people ruin a good thing.

I seriously doubt this will result in any jail time. Levandowski's lawyers will do everything they can to see to it no time is served. But he will probably pay a fine.. chump change to this man.

And this pisses me off; people in America get thrown in jail for stealing chewing gum.

82 years old, with serious cash flow issues. Choosing between food and meds? It's 50/50. In fact, living among them in Florida, I'd give odds that he'd choose to die.

I don't know why he was downloaded. I mean, come too Florida and talk to some 80 year old guy who has nothing, due to being scammed or ID theft.

Frankly, be better if you just killed the guy. Now this guy has to decide between food and meds because his SSI doesn't cover it all. And his savings are gone.

//Now I am curious, who runs production customer facing apps on Azure? I'm assuming many people do given that Azure is second after AWS in market share or is that really just mostly corporate IT servers?

The government does. Though AWS and IBM are also used. In other words, entries outside the bubble.

//The same way that fish eventually acquired the "lungs" genes.

Which took a million years. But now watch out - we can do it in 4 hours. That's the difference.

Have you ever worked in Corporate America? Many times the decision to use something like Teams is made in an office across the country. And usually, its made with the vendor's sales team involved. This happens in government too, all the time.

You get an edict to use the software and the fun begins. I love the idea of including the CEO... have to remember that.

There is no answer. That's not the point. They want to know your response anyway. Will you be funny, loud, blunt - whatever you do, answer.

The other problems China has is resources and cash. As the article points out, if you include maintenance and upgrades, naval ships tend to be 3x the cost of building them. That's not cheap.

And resource wise, it is reliant on outside suppliers. Which also cost. Unlike America, China's fiances aren't infinite (America is due to oil).

I have no doubt China can easily afford invading Taiwan. I do have doubts about Japan though. Japan is mobilizing right now as well.

Layers of middle management always sucks the life out of companies. And indeed governments. Try working for a bank, and you'll see exactly what I am talking about.

Well he's right about the first party. As for the tools... people need to vote.. in the US at least.

And it's about time too. Prices were just stupid in NYC. Even in Queens and Brooklyn.

It needs a long correction.

I remember music like this being played at the [gay] circuit parties in NYC (and beyond) in the early 90's. Sure the DJ's played favorites, but at like 3AM, these type of tunes played. Trance, I think it was called. Been a while.

Mac version coming? I use AdGuard now, on Mac. But I'd like this on Mac as well. Safari I won't touch.

// The sustained users are ones that have good mods that improve the AI, and other aspects of the game. Civ 6 hasn't released the DLL, so us as modders, are in a holding pattern. Most of the major modders have quit (as have I) until the DLL is released.//

That's it right there. The Civ5 mod(s) "vox populi" is a must in any game I play. And it changes much of the game. Not possible to do in Civ6.

Also, I don't like the cartoon graphics of Civ6.
