Arizona is hell-on-earth, with 130-F temps common all summer. For good reasons, companies could not get workers in Antarctica ... Arizona is just the flip-side of that coin.

Solly Charlie. Greed like violence is "bone deep" in the human species. Noble savages never existed. Several stone-age fields of slaughter have been found while the historical drum-beat never ends, Greed may be managed/mitigated , but never eradicated.

Well spoken. AI in all its varieties IS over-hyped. With human reasoning/creativity it's turtles all the way down. With current AI you get the top shell and nothing, but word-salad beneath it.

Bad on your tasteless empathy. JapChat generated artforms of any variety are obvious to even pedestrian viewers. Kinda like the difference between mass-produced and free-range chicken. Or the difference between electrostatic and Marantz/Advent hi-fi speakers. There's a race-2-the-bottom surrounding machine and AI-generated content ... some peons may embrace it.

The 3-letter government agencies pay M$ good money to ensure zero-day weaknesses are always present in Microsoft products. Both Chinese and Russian states are heavily subsidized to fall into that trap ( by allowing effectively free Windows variants ). Do you want your Federal tax monies to be wasted ? Same with APPLE though they talk a good line and their back-doors are more subtly hidden.

Universal truth: love is productive. It's almost the definition of love. People who love dry-flies tie dry-flies. People who love pointers(*) code arrays. When a man loves a woman they produce a child. For the BELIEVER, this man/woman production reflects the begetting of Jesus Christ from the Father.

Charging for activation of a used product does NOT seem to be the way a company grows a base of users. Make it cheap (or nothing ) , make it easy and make it like encountering your long-lost brother. BABY-BOO does not charge for diaper-changing services Only a completely "overgrown" product/service can survive activation fees, since no more new units can be sold.

Don't believe the big-box stores promises of lower electronic-listed prices. There's a gas station close to me that changes prices (at least) hour by hour. The gas station is on a heavily used 4-lane suburban roadway. I suspect the prices there go up during commute-times, and drop the match the prices at a station one mile away near an executive airport. Given the electronic price listing, watch the prices on milk and butter and bacon change by the hour as people buy for tomorrows breakfast.

Well spoken. I recently gave up my fabulous std.-tranny 2003 Ford-Focus hatchback. Replaced with a rocket-science 2023 Nissan. The Ford was eminently understandably by me and repairable by my mechanic . But, he said a rebuild ( ~$10-K ) was insecure because of all the parts he would not replace. The family was adamant that I go modern , even with lots of wiz-bangs buttons, display screen and switches I don't even dare touch. I still pine for the ol' Ford.

Indeed the comments of original poster are insightful. When two klads of people hate each-others basic principles you can expect violence between them. Poster points to this human fact. Muslims took the Levintine by force and imposed their theocracies ... Zionists took a part of those conquered lands by force and express their cultural values. Hutsies butchered Tutsies in Africa. Alsas-Lorraine German/French battles are centuries old. American Indian tribes fought violently for lands east of the Mississippi River; you surely know of the Cherokee Nation and of the Mohawk/Iroquois disputers in New York state. It's all very human even if horrific.
