Excellent. Now all those “but I can’t get a vasectomy” guys have another option. Beyond time to put the onus for not reproducing on the male side of the equation.

North American car companies are doing the LAMF thing. They have spent the last 4 decades stifling innovation in EV or fuel efficient cars to appease the gas lobby and create monster sized vehicles that they can convince a gullible consumer are necessary. If they had spent even 25% of their R&D on what comes after fossil fuels, they would be able to compete with China now. Same as Africa skipped the whole phone lines thing and went strait to cellular, China is now skipping ahead to the next generation not wasting time on producing past generations stuff. Wind and solar power, batteries are the same. Do I feel sorry for industries that pegged themselves to gas when consumers asked for different? Not it the least. They reaped what they sowed, or failed to sow.

I tend to be anti-AI because it doesn’t seem to me to be anything other than a super fast regurgitator of data. If a database can be searched for an answer, AI can do that faster than a human. However it doesn’t to seem to be able to take some portion of that database, understand it, and then use that information to solve a novel problem.

Quickest solution? Stop buying from Amazon. I quit cold turkey and the sky does not fall. I still buy what I need. I am sometimes saved from buying stuff that I don’t really need but was easily available. Just stop buying from them. They are the evil capitalism that everyone complains about.

MILD doesn’t mean all. It may not work for you. It does work very well for some others.

There has to be a way for some enterprising soul to start turning over ICE to ICE? There has to be something in the thousands of recruits that can get them arrested by their own?

Good?

You would think that with all the ‘expert’ tech people out of jobs maybe they could band together and take the billionaires down? It would cause a depression but I think that would be more palatable than the depression that is coming regardless but in which the billionaires will still be billionaires?

I don’t continuously wear a monitor, just when I’m experiencing some flux in my glucose measurements. In big print, all the Libre 2 monitors I have had say to double check odd or unexpected glucose readings or reading that don’t correspond with how you are feeling with a finger prick device. I have had the low glucose warning several times and I double check it. Only once has it been a real low glucose reading. Technology can be very helpful but you still have to use it correctly.

I don’t know. Microsoft has a multi decade history of forcing people into using an trash product due to CIA/govt contracts corruption or something, never due to being the superior product on the market. So why would anyone think they’d deliver anything worthwhile now? A bunch of crap that you have to overpay to be underwhelmed by has always been their standard.

That little? I would have thought it was much, much higher. Almost everything on every social media sites is marketing barely in disguise.

I’m none of those however I believe they are right to view it negatively. The rest of us should be just a wary.

Personally I believe the world was a better place before the Internet existed. It was more personal, more local. The billionaire tech class was created by the Internet and are actively damaging the world for their own personal gain. Good mental health is almost non-existent for those who are always online - and that is a purposeful construct so that they will be online more and create even more revenue for the tech billionaires. The initial romantic notion that the internet would provide education and information and connection has been dwarfed by the damage it has caused. The most ‘internet raised generation - Gen Z’ is notoriously disconnected and isolated compared to previous generations. In short, if the Internet ceased to exist tomorrow, a decade from now the world would probably be a better place.

Where is he going to run to when Tesla’s profits drop even lower?
