Victoria to Queensland.

I have flown from the Garden State to the Sunshine State in two different countries.

At least Clone High got an entire season.

It has two.

I watched every minute of Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” in a movie theater.

If you’re in the USA, I wouldn’t do law. The field is saturated with lawyers and a reason for AI development is to replace lawyers.

The understanding of races in Latin America had a lot more shades of grey compared to Anglo America.

In Latin America, there were words for the mixing of various peoples along with a gradation of allowed positions in society.

In contrast, Anglo America typically treated race as all or nothing. Even for mixed race people, they would get classified typically as the lower status race.

You’re also having a problem that the new forms of distribution don’t seem to replace the revenue of old forms. A lot of people hoped that they could replicate HBO’s approach to streaming, but it turns out that it doesn’t work well if every streamer tries to be premium cable.

And if you raise prices too much, people stop paying.

That’s for actual residency. This seems to be able to exist in the country digitally. Other countries, like Estonia, have the same thing.

Because I want the future to say nice things about me.

This meeting isn’t something new or out of the blue, but will likely continue current trends.

Ukraine immediately reached out to European countries for support, many of whom indicated that they would support Ukraine even if the USA didn’t. I expect this to continue the creation of some kind of post NATO European defense treaty/system without American involvement.

This will also weaken a lot of other American led security alliances given that Trump has hinted at demanding more from them as well.

States have to function within the guidelines set by the Federal government, but there a lot of wiggle room within that.

For instance, it is common for states to engage in economic development missions to various countries as a way to lure investment into their own states.

It is also common for border states to have working groups with subnational entities across the border to address regional issues that can be handled at the state level. The states of Arizona and Sonora have a relatively deep working relationship to address various issues.

You can also have the federal government devolve some power to states. The Great Lakes–Saint Lawrence River Basin Sustainable Water Resources Agreement became codified in the USA as the Great Lakes Compact in 2008, but mainly leaves the running of the commitments to the affected states.

Wear a suit.

Poorly.

Here’s a half hour video on how industrial work differed from agricultural work

There are some cases where stresses back then were worse than today, but there are a lot of cases where today is worse from the point of view of certain stresses.

You also have differences in expectations. For instance, it was common for children to die due to different reasons. That vastly changes the parent-child dynamic.

Given how costly it is to send inspectors on the tracks, I can see this being of value to MTA. This is also a decent use of AI.

A Google Pixel is dedicated recording hardware. It has a good enough microphone, great camera, and accelerometers to monitor vibration.

It also doesn’t have to be amazing, just good enough.

Not now, since Trump fucked over their finances.

As far as I remember in Portal, the portals could move if the plates moved.

Shoot the portal on two moveable plates. Move the plates as needed to ship goods. For instance, I imagine making a lot of money shoving sea ice into a portal exiting Lake Powell.

I look at the Steam Deck less as an end product and more of a means.

The Steam Deck is absolutely getting slaughtered by the Switch in terms of sales, but it gives Valve an alternative to the Windows ecosystem that is becoming more hostile as Microsoft tries to muscle in on gaming. I also think that Valve could have designed a Steam Deck variant to compete with the Switch 2, but hasn’t for various reasons

Already, Valve has the technology to create a console to compete with a PS5 and Xbox Series X, but doesn’t seem to want to.

I can’t imagine it would be that much harder to make a Chromebook equivalent, giving it access to the PC market without Windows.

Since Valve is using Linux, developing the tech stack is cheap. Also, Valve seems to be selling hardware for a profit, so it may be more comfortable with slimmer margins.
