They think that because of how the bills are charged. Every electric utility fee on my bill is per usage. If they had a base ‘admin / maintenance’ cost based development size / type and then usage fee on top I think people would not think it so much.
I think there was an early 80s crash as well.
If it wasn’t a poorly cutout hunk of cardboard with a picture of a number pad on it missing 3, 7, and 0, then it wasn’t worse than expected.
I have read the inverter and related cooling equipment of the solar system can be noisy if poorly implemented or maintained, though I doubt it would rival the downsides of a data center.
oooh, nice. Universal abatoire. That’s a new one for me. Hopefully not being field tested near any schools.
I would think a siginificant portion of the population doesn’t possesses this sort of nuance.
Haven’t heard anything new lately, but there is a push to eliminate physical currency for, what I presume, is a similar reason -> make everything trackable.

oh thank god. My brain has finally started automatically turning the symbol into ‘th’. That took forever.
Hopefully it is not as simple as asking grok to imagine me some sample credit cards. It would make new unique things and not copy old data for certain!
Ah, the old download more RAM trick. An oldie but a goodie.
I wonder if anyone has become injured during self checkout and attempted a workers compensation claim
I think it is because it is so heavy in the rear end and cannot move the back ‘legs’ effectively without falling backwards. Maybe it could walk on three fingers and shift the mass forward.
I think that if you think you are better than other people you are then obligated to provide care and support for those you view as lessers. Then the very greatest that a person could be, and achieve, would be to care for and nurture the most people.
“How to short IPO?”
Perhaps your future camera could automatically fog any individual that you haven’t received prior consent from.
And yes, I realise this idea has a number of technological requirements that may not exist yet, or cannot reliably exist ever, and requires the trusting of some authority in a world where noone of that esteem seem to be able to exist.
It’s not like the parents aren’t suffering from the same disease as the kids. They are just supposed to be able to magically shake it off without help because at some point they got old?
