I think the strategy is to buy houses and never hotels. Hotels free up the housing supply. If you buy all the housing supply and never use hotels, you've cut off the only method of earning a lot more money for other players.

"the U.S. is an unreliable security and technology partner willing to throw any partner under the bus, at any time, for any reason."

This isn't new. The US has been doing this for decades.

Just a reminder. You can buy a kiosk TV from major TV manufacturers. You just have to look a little. Kiosk TVs are intended for lobby signage or conference rooms. You pay a little more but the garbage UI and always on piece is gone. You get 4 HDMI with them too (from what I've used).

I remember reading that Disney was running XP on Toy Story Mania at Disneyland for the ride itself. When you stand in line near the loading point you can see the computer screen where the operator monitors everything. Not critical or DOS but comical it's doing a basic control of the ride.

Can't stand the UI. I've turned off transparency. I've zoomed in a bit. I heavily use the swipe down search on the Home Screen and it's obnoxious now.

I don't understand why Apple went towards unifying the UI around a failed product (Vision Pro).

The ACR stuff was turned on by default for mine. They are straight up lying.

I liked my one and ride in Cruise however the problem I had was it took 10 minutes or so for my car to depart.

Car arrives. I get in. The car is sitting there getting ready to depart but not moving. After a few minutes I hit the button to call support. Someone tells me it's about ready to go. Ten minutes later it starts leaving.

I have no idea why it took so long to start but it wasn't a great experience.

If you (or anyone else from Cruise) can explain what was going on, that would settle the difference in experience to me.

The YT channel Space Weather News covered this and the cause. Worth knowing what’s really going on with our universe.

Part of me feels Intel was too high on the horse for years and the little ideas that were innovative were ignored. I knew Intel would be in this condition when Apple decided to move off of Intel. Apple’s switch was the canary in the coal mine. Intel wasn’t innovating and giving Apple what they wanted. So Apple, much like the little guys, found a way to innovate without them.

It’s bizarre, reading people here defending the artificial food dyes. Most of these are derived from petroleum. The stuff that comes out of the ground and powers your car and lubricates gears. It’s in your food and you’re OK with that?

One of the lesser known things about heavily processed dog food is kind of dark. People don’t realize that they use animals from shelters that have been put down in dog food. It’s been a while, but I had read a few years ago that they found three amounts of the medicine they used to put animals down in dog food. I also recall your before that reading that some shelters make money by selling the dead animals they put down to food processing companies.

I was in two different WF over the last few days in different parts of California. Their produce aisles and dairy were really low on inventory. I guess I know why.

I’m glad we’re starting to talk about the prostate because I feel like for a long time. Men have been reluctant to talk about this more and more in society. I feel like women have their fair share problems as they get older, but men have equal amount of problems too we just don’t like to talk about it.
