It is certainly a very complex issue that will likely result in a lot of unintended consequences and may take another 10+ years for congress to do anything about it (if ever?). However, doing nothing may well be a better solution than whatever horrible conclusion that the Federalist dream team comes to. Similar to how…

I like it and want it way more than I ever thought I would want an 80s Chrystler product. 

GIS is pretty popular in the utility industry. Every utility provider I’ve contracted with requires their employees to be in office at least a few days a week now, but there are a lot of companies that they contract to who will do remote work for GIS. Look for engineering firms that include pipelines in their services.…

The most common reply I see when stuff like this come up: Local member of The Party of Face Eating Leopards is surprised when leopards start eating their face.

While internet regulations need updated based on how it has evolved (and possibly to include AI), the current SCOTUS is quite low on the list of people I want messing with it. It really is up to congress to deal with, since the law is written pretty heavily to remove liability from the hosting site. 

Civil lawsuits don’t need to go beyond reasonable doubt. They are subject to a preponderance of evidence. So the winner can have some doubt. 

I’ve just gotten more disinterested in new BMWs. To be fair, I was never in the BMW market to begin with. However, if there was some surprise financial change that made a new one a reasonable purchase/lease, I wouldn’t even both with a test drive because they remain too ugly for me to live with. 

Paper maps are also awesome because they have local landmarks you may never find on Google. My favorite maps are the ones at those Welcome To *state* when you cross state borders. I’ve gotten a bunch of free state maps that way. Also saw a lot of really nice waterfalls in NC because we got the natural feature map.

That’s where the radio rules for the driver comes in. I don’t care if my passengers sleep, but I’m not modifying the things that make me a more comfortable driver for them, especially if it endangers the whole car.

The main places I’ve known them to get used are apartments and other small dwellings, as they units that cheap wouldn’t work well for a 2000 sq ft house. It would cost me ~$25k all in to install a heat pump for my house instead of the $8k all in for a natural gas AC & furnace, which easily keeps functioning during a…

Does the law actually make it so rideshares have to pay both? I would assume it was one or the other, so drivers still get paid while waiting between trips.

Need to be able to escape in an emergency without having to rely on specific people with special access. 

Houston medical colleges are partnering with Portland hospitals for OBGYN rounds, since they cannot get sufficient practice in Texas hospitals and don’t want the doctor’s careers ruined before they truly begin.

Must have missed that part between the rows of adds. Sounds like quite the gamble trying to get in with the BOF truck group and how dedicated those buyers seem to be instead of trying to merge the Santa Cruz with the Telluride hype. 

So a Santa Cruz with Kia’s design style?

*historically peaceful towards people in nature*

They aren’t new, they are very expensive relative to other options, so they are rarely used. A lot of people don’t know about them because we’ve normalized cheaper systems. Also, Washington state is had tons of houses that don’t have AC, even the brand new $700,000 townhouses. Just cheap heating units. 

Pretty much. I’m not super interested in paying for a service that charges me a flat rate and in return I get something with a fluctuating and capped value that could be harder to use when I most want to use it.

You give too much credit for executive’s knowledge. They just know the rules better. 

I wonder how many of the people who actually make those business decisions actually care. The top executives who are signing off on international investments are likely quite independently wealthy by that point and will remain rich, whether or not their entire industry collapses. The only way I could see Chinese…
