Better general medical science. So much of what we use is very old tech. We still can't regrow cartligage. We still pin bones together with titanium screws. We still mostly use fiberglass casts (though better alternatives exist). We still catch the common cold.
Yeah, I have a retro device that I spent hours configuring. When I finally had everything working... something got corrupted and I had to start over. I have not had the energy to try again.
I mean, I like my EV... But bragging about it's performance in winter? Not the sales pitch I would go with. I get 1/3 the range of a mild day, and I'm not blasting the heat.
Shop used right now to take advantage. Low mileage EV's are crazy cheap. We saw 'used' vehicles with less than 30 (not thousand) miles for half off, straight from the dealer, full warranty. Much cheaper than a combustion counterpart.
At the price we paid, even if the car is worth $0 at the end of five years, we'll have done alright.
I have one machine in Linux and another in Windows. I've also made bootable persistent thumb drives to save myself any accidents creating a dual boot. That way I can run Linux for daily stuff, and Windows when I'm too incompetent to figure out a workaround for a game or whatever.
Windows needs to be rebooted all the time anyway, so it's not really that big of a deal to boot into something else now and then. Plus it gives you a little change of pace.
Fox News. Endless propaganda and ratings driven idiocy. People watch the most alarmist "news" and they jump on this bandwagon of stupidity. In particular, people of limited education/intelligence love to be anti science, because for once they can feel like the person that is actually smart.
Civil war is coming. That's Trump's goal. The administration's hate speech is constant and increasingly more aggressive. Their actions are increasingly more violent, and the law has been tossed away.
Things are going to get much uglier quickly. The price of gold is sky rocketing because investors don't trust the dollar anymore. It's a scary reality.
We need basic data privacy rights. 1) they shouldn't be mass sold. 2) there should be an easy opt out ( which should be the default, not opt in) 3) outlaw these endless EULAs. I would spend my whole life reading these if we actually stopped to look through every one that comes across daily life.
Before Amazon was as big as it is today, they approached me for a position. I had three different 1 hour interviews, then I found out they still expected me to fly to Seattle for 3 full days of interviews. I told them I was not interested. Before I knew much about corporate America, my gut told me that was a bad sign. Glad I listened.
During the pandemic, interviews seemed to have endless rounds of ridiculous questions. There needs to be a law that interviewers need to pay you at the position's rate for anything beyond 2 hours. It would eliminate so much bullshit.
