    Not only a matter of size, but also resolution and speed of rendering a page. A large but low resolution screen will likely be uncomfortable to read. Low page rendering speed may adversely affect reading after a page turn. Size, resolution, and speed all cost money. Good luck with your search.

    Oh, don't. It's incredibly long, with two 45 minute intermissions.

    "Plug In Hybrid" seems to be teh way to go. Most people have short trips with their car, and if my understand is correct, a Plug In Hybrid does not require any special charging equipment.

    Doesn't look like this is anything new. [image: FT_18.07.26_hourlyWage_adjusted.png] (Yes, the data ends a few years ago, but I doubt that things changed much vs. the overall graph)

    Had a pretty decent night. The snoring is in fact not mine. Not sure how it determines whether I met the goal or not. I did have a dream where I got caught making out with another hot redhead. [image: 1710080306927-screenshot-2024-03-10-at-10.11.57-am.jpeg]

    @George-K said in I, for one...: @kluurs said in I, for one...: The Chinese can manufacture zillions of them - and program them to swarm - whether troops, armour, aircraft carriers or fortified installations. And they would look to TikTok to look at your face? They've already raided every other social media and website for that kind of information. Tik Tok is providing a forum for directly marketing to US consumers, bypassing major and minor vendors - think Amazon, Facebook, etc.

    @George-K said in Saturday dinner: @Horace said in Saturday dinner: And it's so easy. Turn on the smoker, put the steak on, and it's done in 30 minutes or so. I try to remember to flip it once, but eh, no big deal if I don't. In our condo, that's not an option. Nevertheless, I am jealous. You could get a smoker gun like restaurants use. Not sure how effective they are.

    I may be completely wrong, but in my thinking, musicians and writers are similar in who makes it to the top. Talent for sure, but there is also some luck. I am sure that there are many talented writers (and musicians) who are not at the right place at the right time and just dont get the break they need to become popular.

    It seems that a lot of what he wrote is starting to happening now. For example, dont need to go to college to learn coding. (On the other hand, i disagree when he talks about corporate labs not doing as well as the big company laboratories in the 1950's etc. There is still a tremendous amount of inventions and innovation that happens in companies R&D(

    Is that the only document released by the CDC on this subject, or are there other documents also released by the CDC on this subject, and the "completely redacted" document is but a data table with patients' personal information?

    @Jolly I agree, but many people say one thing but usually shop with their wallet. Pay farmworkers more --> food prices go up. Pay slaughter house workers more --> meat prices go up. (We have had discussions on here about increase the minimum wage) Go to a grocery store. Buy a $1 apple from US or a $0.75 apple from Mexico? What will the majority of people chose? Read a story about the decline of steel in the US. Definitely steel work fits the 3 "D" definition of a job. Well paying also. But cheaper steel from mainly China, etc. has decreased the US market quite a bit. Now of course, labor cost is not the only reason Chinese steel is cheaper but is a (somewhat big) contribution.
