The fall of empire is usually documented as stagnation. Trump seems to be trying to be the best in the world, ever, at speed running the end of an empire.

Fool me once… twice…

The people who want to run everything like a business either have never worked for a business or is a Business Idiot who doesn’t know how much waste happens in the average business.

The only reason Starlink works in Iran is because the Trump admin is working to gain power. It’s not philanthropic.

It’s not inflation, it’s continued wealth transfer

Risk of infection in that office is skyrocketing. As few as 10 Norovirus virions are needed to infect a person.

Beer is a pretty centralized industry, compared to the multitude of brands out there.

These brands make international brands locally for tax and other reasons.

Craft breweries may be available as exports, but they can be risky because a lot of craft breweries are financially struggling and take it out on their employees.

Buying euro beer is a perfectly good option too!

There was a time when common sense said the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, going around the earth. Even simple things must be proven. Before we can find out more about why this occurs, we need to be certain that it does occur.

One? Tie between redoing CFAA, DMCA, and privacy regulations before they became problems.

Hopefully all the time it’s taking will result in a half decent result. Siri is frequently less useful than just talking to a rock.

It could just as well be delays related to capacity.

This article overlooks the value of meeting people and experiencing different cultures and ways of life.

A Texan can read for days about public transit and bicycles, but cannot fathom how it works until they spend some time in Amsterdam (of course - with an open mind, because tourists of all cultures are notorious for wanting to be in a different place as long as it’s exactly like home “why are there no English signs”).

But tourism absolutely creates challenges. Climate change and overtourism primarily, but social media seems to have changed the way tourists behave, with an even greater emphasis than ever on getting the right snapshots instead of experiencing the place.

You can’t fix a seal with wood glue or cyanoacrylate. Buy the part.

From the same government who brought you the mandated spyware app with access to all your phone?

ETA - there’s good stuff mixed in with bad here. Permission is good, but Losing control of the device (version restrictions) isn’t good and those audit logs are creepy.

Take away two and put in a fucking high speed high frequency train.

Seems to be a pretty good solution (when it’s built).

It’s nice to be hopeful. I’m not holding my breath though.

It’s largely the same as Canadian and Mexican oil, so the infrastructure is very much in place.

It gives Trump an opening to pressure/annex Canada and Mexico, if Venezuela can make up the difference (which they can’t, yet).

That would be lovely.

Sure, invest $100bn into an unstable country chasing a dying technology at the behest of a corrupt regime. Even for oil companies, Venezuela is too hot to touch.
