If your business is failing, try adding some AI to it. Sure, none of your customers asked for it, and it's not clear how spending millions on data center fees translates into profit. But investors love it, and that's how a bubble rises to the top!
It's really difficult to buy glasses in the US that aren't part of one of EssilorLuxottica's holdings.
Is to throw your crew overboard?
Show on the doll where the landscaper touched you.
kids like to play on grass. Main reason.
That's sounds like an argument for xeriscaping your lawn with cactus.
I don't manicure my lawn and I've lost no money and no status. As long as I don't pose a fire hazard, the government leaves me alone.
Some of the lawn care obsession is a self-imposed disease. And some of it is baked in local ordinances and difficult to avoid. But I choose to lay the blame at the feet of the individuals. Because it's funny how so many men bend over backwards for THIS perceived social obligation, but are fucking pricks when confronted on how badly they've been parking their pickup truck.
Don't like dandelions, then go back in time and tell your ancestors not to bring invasive species into this country. My back lot is covered with poison oak that flowers every year, at least it's native. Nature made it unpleasant for some reason so I'm OK with letting it stay.

I recently rewatched Space Battleship Yamato over several weeks. My wife found it very corny and eventually quit watching it with me. But I still think it holds up story-wise.
and LOL - I love everything by Leiji Matsumoto, but yea that manga still wouldn't fly with US audiences. Especially given how Star Blazers was targeted to children in the US.
If you don't have a dozen nuclear powered aircraft carriers, it's a good idea to have a back up plan that doesn't require gas pipelines or oil tankers.
A combination of lack of reserve and lack of military projection makes the supply chain vulnerable for most countries. They can put up solar panels and wind turbines, and perhaps buy Thorium mini-reactors from China and fill it from fuel from India. Playing the two adversaries off each other. Or skip nuclear and be entirely self sufficient on locally produced energy.
Are they really being childish or are their complaints falling on deaf ears because they are on the wrong side of the Tragedy of the Commons ?
Yet I'm still not cool.
I like the handle the important cards while eating donuts to get the edges nice and tacky. Bring all your important data points to the diner with you to discuss friends. and those cards will keep coming up again and again (until they jam and have to be remade)
Disraeli was pretty close: actually, there are Lies, Damn lies, Statistics, Benchmarks, and Delivery dates.
