Yeah, I was gonna say, that's what happened after the 2008 financial crisis... they just asked the computer who do foreclose on and it spit out hundreds of thousands of names... some of whom should not have been foreclosed. The government just let the banks say "oops, sorry, nothing we can do."
Was actually looking at these probe thermometers to give as Christmas presents this year... some brands actually advertise that they connect to nothing and need no phone or account to operate.
I'm not straight and my neighborhood is low income. Like my neighbors and I are tight, but everyone has guns... i trust them (and they me), it's folks coming in from outside, especially shit like the Proud Boys who turned up a few years ago during protests.
Even if she's not renting, like it's a condo association or co-op situation, do the same thing. Report it. Could be a sign of something worse in the whole system.
Dude, I just got the post-exposure rabies vaccine. Was four trips to the ER at $125 USD co-pay a pop... however, without insurance, I learned it can be as much as like $15k if you don't qualify for assistance and/or Medicaid.
I'm so thankful the local halal place around the corner from my house is there... and gyro and fries is only like 9 USD. I commented to the owner about how cheap his food is; he said he's seen a bit of an uptick in business over the summer and he thinks it's because the chain places have gone mad with pricing.
I would love a series about an "Interplanetary University" that had its campus setup across several dozen planets using Farcasters. That would be an interesting setting in the Hyperion universe.
I love the Farcaster network of the World Web from Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos (for anyone who hasnt read the books, they're essentially frameless stargates that are always on). Such a cool concept of being able to build a series of them linking the main commercial streets of the biggest cities on different planets together; thus making one gigantic and near endless market across hundreds of worlds... and anyone can just walk from one planet to another across hundreds or thousands of light years.
What I really like about that book series though is that the Farcasters are not the only means of FTL... and that there are sound reasons to use another method over them OR even to oppose your planet getting connected to the Farcaster network. Just seriously good world building.
Me too! Just replaced my eight year old (and beat to crap) Chromebook with a corporate hand-me-down laptop that I stole got when they ordered new laptops! Just played around with both Mint and Ubuntu for a couple weeks and I've seriously loved it.
