Exactly.

And lol, no, ceasing to require ID was not a "mistake". It was a deliberate policy.

(And merely wanting to require ID again is supposedly evil fascism ...)

Anyone buying it is a moron - 15% savings for 20% less mileage AND increased gasket damage.

Plus, as I understand since it's not for human consumption, many of the limits on weedkiller etc are suspended or drastically reduced leading to increased contamination of drainage basins and rivers.

Ethanol was a stupid idea on every level.

Yes I'm sure that has nothing to do with leftist lawmakers & judges whose "catch and release" policies that result in the criminal being instantly released without bail. Hell, they do that today with actual murderers.
    Why the hell should police waste their time?

The bulk of uranium reserves are Australia, fwiw.

So my chemistry and physics instructors at Naval Nuclear Power School decades ago (who were also direct input officers) were fascists? Who knew!

You should meet some military physicians.

They are made officers (we used to call them "direct input officers", dunno if they still do) and given inflated ranks for two reasons: to pay them sufficiently, but also to get them within the military accountability structure.

Yawn. Direct input officers have been a thing forever. Heck, I had to salute my physics instructor at nuclear power school, who was just some young teacher chick who would never deploy anywhere.

And yes, it's to pay them. And get them within the military accountability structure (the more important reason).

That explains why people want to sell them. Not why I should want to buy them.

The point being now if you're watching a "premium" streaming service like HBO you get constant commercials.

Pretty much the point of the whole thread, in fact?

Or, y'know, once in a million years we could just agree on an issue instead of always making it about politics?

Crazy, I know.

Instant apps created a lot of complexity and awkwardness in the Android platform. It has consistently been painful to deal with and work around, and been especially challenging for the security team, for a feature with very little user or developer interest. Killing it is definitely the right call.

1) absolutely demand right to repair - the idea that units which may be in FUCKING COMBAT need to call a service tech is unbelievably stupid.
2) find out who approved this contract AND FIRE THEM.

The contract needs to go away, and anyone in the DoD who agreed to this is literally not doing their job in a way that could ostensibly cost lives. This level of incompetence not only can't be tolerated, there have to be actual consequences.

Originally there were two tiers of cable channels: the "bundled" ones like ESPN, CNN, etc (those have pretty much always had commercials, they were just like additional tv stations), and "premium" channels like HBO and Showtime, which you specifically had to pay an additional monthly fee for. Those premium channels were free of external commercials (ie they would promo their own shows, etc but this was confined to between shows, never within them) until at least what the mid 90s? Later?

I almost wonder if that's actually a dude who was on the flight or someone taking advantage of an opportunity to get in the news.

Seems so unlikely.

I wish my company would do this.
Yes, I realize there are some tiny niche-functions that the open source products don't serve but 99.9% of people probably don't need them anyway and my god I'm sick of MS's constant tweaking of things and now shoveling AI shit at me.
