Years From now, trapped but conscious inside a collapsed structure, I'll stand a much better chance of recognizing this as a rescue attempt, and not a fever dream.

In order to achieve peak inability to maintain impulse control, I typically add a little ethanol to the ambient air pollution.

Ants are collectively unselfish. Ants act in the interest of the greater good.

Humans? The attributes that selected for homo sapiens domination of competitors seems to have limited our propensity to prosper beyond a certain point.

If the outage affects 10 towers, and it was over 60 minutes, and you were using ATT Gateway while juggling on a unicycle...

Now. Imagine how much goodwill a blanket proclamation might generate with no word salad qualifications.

If your service goes out again, at all, for any reason, you get a days credit on your bill. We're AT&T and we're trying to earn the privilege of your continued business.

An outpost on the moon, outside the Earth's gravity well, could be quite useful staging and resupplying a Mars mission.

If the end game is human colonization, it makes great good sense... so maybe, they won't go that way at all.

Well, I presume they lacked a wealthy regional country willing to help bolster their burgeoning economy in order to strengthen the region.

What if? the United States had used their great wealth and geopolitical power helped transform Caribbean and Central and South American nations into self-sufficient partners instead of meddling in petty political elections for the last ciento cincuenta años?

Refugees don't flee in large numbers from successful economies. Hmm. No flood of immigrants from failed Nation States. Who will do my yard work, pick my vegetables, and rankle my ire at election time?

It's probably likely on the order of tomorrow's sunrise that the higher temperatures are not a fad, but here to stay.

The $64,000.00 question is whether nature's demon spawn or greatest achievement is to blame. I struggle to delineate the problem as either natural or anthropogenic, since I lack the hubris to believe mankind is separate from nature instead of part of it.

Maybe the Earth thinks it has the flu, and is defending itself from a virus by inducing a fever.

Found the time traveler.

Yeah, so tldr, if you remove the ability of the cellphone provider to optimize their profits by locking in users, they'll likely have to charge more to compensate for the losses.

Do cellphone providers not know about the importance of political contributions?

Let's nor forget the Top Gun pilots are all Naval Aviators.

If recollection is correct, the US Air Force's incipient operations were as the US Army Air Force.

Jee-zus... even our military services can't, mmmm, get along.

Sometimes, the founder of a successful business venture has a good head for the management side of affairs, but sometimes not so much.

Wojcicki controls 49% of the voting shares, and presumably had a large say in the appointment process of these seven defecting Board Members... none of whom deigned to stay in support of her. She must be a real treat.

It could probably be happening to a more deserving company, but not by much.

At least there's an explanation for the recent internet outage... often we get nothing at all at the office. We keep both ATT internet, and whatever Suddenlink has evolved into, so we can have internet most of the time.
