Look at the top valued companies in USA. This will hurt.

1. Slash funding to postsecondary education, encouraging institutions to bring in international students
2. Heavily market immigration opportunities to potential international students
3. Act surprised when entry level jobs fill up

President Taco notwithstanding, it can’t have been that surprising.

This is important:

Extended unemployment periods carry consequences that reach far beyond economic hardship. Young people experiencing prolonged joblessness often face mental health challenges, delayed financial independence, and difficulty establishing career trajectories. These critically missed opportunities also have repercussions for their professional networks and workplace skills.

I can’t wear glasses in sauna because they get too hot.

The room is at at 90-110 and the only reason I’m not is because I’m sweating, but my glasses and hair and whatever isn’t wet and evaporating gets burning hot to the touch.

Reminds me. I need to build one in my garden.

But I had some sunglasses that have had the coating peel off just outside of warranty and I think it’s because they’re dark and got hot in the sun. I feel like that should be a consideration when designing the coating.

I was a bit of not interested and not educated enough to know what a NDRI was while I was on it but it does make sense for ADHD and Depression symptoms.

The withdrawal from Wellbutrin was bad. I got brain zaps if I was 1hr late taking it; tapering and cessation was miserable.

They don’t work that effectively. To the effect they do, they make you smell like poison to mosquitoes.

DEET blocks odorant receptors at a distance and chemoreceptors on contact. Icardin blocks odorant receptors.

It’s not always the case that builders provide parking. The market demands shareholder profits, and if you don’t build a driveway, that’s more units you can fit on a given plot of land.

This is the trend I’m observing, but I’m certain it is not universal. 

Theres a lot of shitty dog owners out there. Also, glad you’re able to work through the phobia.

Changing rules for parking generally serves only to create local parking shortages (and subsequent emotional discussions) as rhetoric underlying problem is not addresssed. This is a bit chicken-and-egg, but consider what happens if a standard subdivision is built without driveways, parking lots, or garage space. A 2 mile walk to the grocery store doesn’t really work. Instead, the regulations should be for higher density, space for bicycles (and transit), and space for essential amenities like small, local grocery stores and restaurants. ETA - with current conditions creating unplanned multigenerational housing, dad, mom, kid1, kid2, and partners makes for tight parking even with 3 spots.

You know, like they used to build before it was about maximizing the revenue per square mile of land?

Context is really important. If he’s an undertaker it might be a bit odd, but a final act of love for his wife.

But if he’s a trucker, for example, that’s more than slightly odd.

My EV gets about 200km range in winter (my use case is up to 30 min trips primarily); 80km in 45 min, x2, is not far from the equivalent of 1/4 tank of “gas” in reserve, except there’s no Jerry can for an EV.

Then, convince someone who isn’t fully convinced of the superiority of fuel injection to go out in that. It’s always the “what if” fear of the unknown scenarios, and politics plays a role.

I think you’re correct. Still, I’d cut it out just call it my new steam vent

I can’t imagine that an EV works as well for someone in rural Saskatchewan with a 45 minute drive to the grocery store as well as it does for someone living in Toronto, Montreal. Mechanics who look askance at “the Asian cars” still are out there. Heck it might be a challenge just getting it to the community from an urban center.

I love my EV, and recognize it doesn’t work for everyone just yet (sometimes because of bad reasons that society accepts like “suburbia”).

Cost is a factor, but consider that if you live in the urban core, at least in some cities, it’s possible to simply not have a car. Vancouver from my recollection has pretty good transit and is fairly walkable in comparison to eg Houston.

Which comes back to cost doesn’t it.

“If it wasn’t for my medical leave, HP and Apple would be competing for the mobile market!”

It takes a lot of arrogance to be a senior executive; the way he tells the story justifies his position, that’s for sure.

During this same period, he became laser-focused on acquiring Autonomy for $10.3 billion—a software company that fit his transformation vision perfectly. Everything else, including breakthrough mobile technology, felt like a distraction from this software-focused strategy. That Autonomy acquisition later required more than an $8 billion write-down,

Apotheker wrote down 9.2 billion in 11 months and that’s just the stuff the article mentions. I can’t achieve that level of failure in a lifetime.

You missed 2. Sell (IPO)company

I’m not sure what he she actually did as far as divestiture, but evidently he wasn’t the current owner. I wonder to what degree unreasonable growth expectations flushed the company.

Automation, in low cost of living area, with red-state employee “benefits” is what it takes to possibly make something as basic as domestically-made shoes affordable. That, and it’s not a publicly traded company so it might still be relatively expensive.

Western reliance on cheap Asian labour is a problem, especially when the cheap labour starts to think they want more.

MAGA isolationism is certainly not helping.
