They’ll do something about it: propose rules that give them a leg up and hamper others.

And I’m sure they are the ones wanting to have a say in how to regulate it aka killing the competition. This is not their benevolence. We are not close to AGI.

Good. Those two are pretty well known for horrible labor conditions.

Thankfully taxi services have finally gotten off their ass and most large cities have a taxi app. I used to fucking hate taxis because I never carried cash and the driver would get all huffy when I wanted to use card despite clearly having a card machine. I know most of it was they prefer cash to skirt taxes and also avoid the card fee (which they could add to the charge) but sorry, not sorry.

Uber came along and card was the default and you knew how much the ride would be before you even called them. No more guessing how much it would cost and having to pay attention to make sure the driver isn’t taking a scenic route to drive up the meter.

That is far on the norm these days. Many AirBnBs add on a ton of fees like a massive cleaning fee but still require you to clean up so the cost comes out to be more than a hotel and you still have to clean up and there are a ton of house rules. It has only been recently that AirBnB gave you the option of seeing the extra fees while searching but it’s still not the default option. Their customer service kind of sucks too. I stayed in a place in LA that had sewage backing up into the sinks and the place itself was pretty gross. They offered a slight discount on the night we stayed and allowed us to cancel the second night. A hotel would have probably comped us a night and given us a decent room.

There are still diamonds in the rough though which are generally people who genuinely have a mother in law unit or room spare and they live in the rest of the place. Most of them are done by corporations though who are simply looking for lower taxation.

This time is the second fastest time any American competing in the women’s 1500-meter race has ever done.

I guess I am not sure what record they are setting. This statement seems to imply that at least one other person set a better record (1 American and any number of non Americans).

Cue the lawsuit to be able to continue using it.

Everyone knows you hop on another kid’s shoulders and put on a trenchcoat, fedora, and sunglasses and gave the name Robert Businessman.

My very rural school used a technology grant to get a few smart boards (that first kind). I’m an older millennial. They were not as useful as a white board for drawing stuff on the board but quicker to setup for slide presentations.

Side note: the National Park Service has an awesome team running their social media accounts. Their posts are always hilarious and informative.

But if we do that, how will we maximize how much money we make off of it? /s

This came up in my Discover feed and I initially assumed it was a fake news site. Unfortunately all the things in the article are indeed real (aside from the robo-brains which they note are mock ups). The brain cells learning to play Pong made the news last year. Combine this with the creepy as hell skin grafted onto a robot and you have nightmare fuel for life.

Did your other account get banned?

Didn’t he also sign from the department he worked at before the Cleveland department because he was not mentally stable? They would not let him carry a gun.

An AC unit could actually help with that since it will dehumidify the space. Many have a dehumidify only mode. You would still want to bleach the mold that is there though. If you are renting, let your landlord know and hope they do something about it. It might be a legal requirement that they do something about it, especially if it is black mold.

There is one near there for sale for only $2.7 million. The other one near there is less affordable at $6.2 million. That one does have a pool though so hanging dong easier to do.

Some rich asshole named Stuart Sloan, owner of University Village, tried low key getting rid of our nude beach here in Seattle. He talked directly with the mayor to get a children’s park right next to the beach and offered to pay for it which would likely mean police would crack down on nudity there. Thankfully the community gathered together to tell him to fuck off.

Went to one while in Spain. The spectrum was roughly the same as you would see at any beach. There were no creepers hanging around or anyone who was judgy.

If you have a basement, stay in it. When it was 108°F here in Seattle the other year, it was in the mid to high 70s in my basement office. If you do not have a basement, am evaporative cooking method can cool you a bit of you are in a dry climate. You could also hit up a pool or grocery store or movie theater. All those will help you cool off.

Check Craigslist for a portable AC unit. I was able to snag a free dual hose portable AC unit a month ago. The hotter it is though, the higher the prices are on Craigslist.

Did you not vote in the primaries? He was not the only candidate on the ballot. They have it to him because he won the primaries.
