Given the cold, how much exercise did the scientists get? That could also be a factor

Quite a brilliant idea.... almost as good as what Apple does when it glues its devices together, making them almost impossible to fix. But does Apple really think its customers are Nazis? I hope not.

Jay Conner: Impatiently waiting for ya’ll to stop putting sugar in grits.

The attitude endured for decades. During WWII, J. R. R. Tolkien wrote to his son, a Spitfire pilot in South Africa, letters (in his collected letters) skeptical that airplanes would ever be of any humanizing value. At first I thought that odd. Then I realized that many of the benefits we see today with aviation had…

Researcher Quote: It’s highly unlikely that this population sailed from Australia or Indonesia to South America. Rather, this group likely trekked northward from their point of origin, venturing through China and Siberia.”

I’d suggest another item to be added to that list of safety techniques. Give kids professional training on how play on a trampoline—what to do and what not to do. Don’t let them play unsupervised until they master those techniques.

You’re right Rhesus. Digital books are typically priced between $2.99 and $9.99. In that price range Amazon typical pays the author/publisher 70% of the retail price (less a grossly inflated download fee). If Amazon agreed to pay Apple 30% of that retail price, which is what Apple demands, it would be making virtually…

Quote: “and it [Apple]wants people to use iBooks for all their reading needs.”

There’s a term that describes the vain, eager-to-get-attention artists well—Artsy Fartsy.

Quote: wherein Jeff Bezos writes to new hires that his company “marries hard-charging intensity with major-league fun”

Quote: Anyone laboring under the delusion that New York City is a progressive bastion need look no further than the city’s school system, which remains among the most segregated in the country.

Oh yeah, and we all know how wonderful the UK’s NHS is. It’s now so concerned about its patients, rather than money, that those with health issues like obesity aren’t getting much needed surgeries. The NHS bureaucracies grow while patients suffer.

This illustrates, all to well, that thinking almost exclusively about money will lead you down some bizarre paths. In this case, that regarding the cure of patients as something bad.

Thanks for your skepticism. I watched the video and I agree. If I’d been a driver in an ordinary car, I’d have blamed myself for this accident. I can see no reason why this computer should get off.

Agreed. I lived in Washington state until 2012 and I thought growing Atlantic salmon in the Pacific. I was like one of those “what is wrong with this picture” where everything is wrong.

Youth hostels are another good option. When I rambled Europe, I’d often take and overnight train to a new city. As soon as I arrived, I’d head for the youth hostel, check in, and leave my traveling pack there. That also took care of my housing for the night.

Take note of another problem. Apple has 13,000 people working at that new building and yet it apparently hasn’t taken the time to make the local dispatchers or paramedics aware of its existence, much less how to find a specific location in that huge building. That’s even more foolish than these glass walls.

I fixed my Touch Bar issues by adding it to my long and growing list of reasons I don’t need to replace my aging MacBook.

Amazing. Even with those large, reflective goggles on her shock and unbelief is obvious. My congratulations to her!

You can save even more buying an art & craft desk at a thrift store for under $20. Just make sure it will elevate enough to use standing.
