Am a man that keeps coming up short on the lazy vice. Annoyed by this. Never feel good. Not distracted like I would be if actionable. No consistent progress in all the areas that are semi-abstract to me. I just want to do something worthwhile for my character that will show in my actions tomorrow. And I love the feeling. I can't climb high enough to run from the demons. People I love in hell for life. I did everything by the book. I am plagued with opportunities to grow, and starved of safe spaces to unfold. I still have dreams of a beautiful clearing. There lives and dies all of my wonderful friends. A massacre every time I wake up.

Haha, damn. That’s what I was thinking at first and the Wikipedia page got me confused- maybe that wasn’t the best reference to give to OP…

So they’re going to announce all employees have to return to office 3 days a week? What about people that are from out of state?

Reply to comment by GI_X_JACK in Inexpensive and environmentally friendly mechanochemical recycling process recovers 70% of lithium from batteries by chrisdh79
Ya lithium extraction from sea water can be paired with desalination for drinking water. Desalination is already being used and with water becoming more scarce we will increase our reliance on it.

That I am bad at basketball because I am white.
Their assumptions were accurate.

With the exception of your knock against Jurassic Park 3 (which is the 2nd best Jurassic Park movie and a fine "B" monster film on its own), I like your critiques: JP 2 is a super disjointed movie.
>Why is Roland Tembo not present in the final act when the objective of the final act is to capture the bull tyrannosaur?
Why didn't we get a 6-10 episode season of White Lotus that follows Roland Tembo trying to keep a group of upper/middle class tourists and middle/lower class park staff alive after being stranded with them on Isla Nublar?
Why did the second act of the move involve the ostensibly "good" characters making an incredibly cruel choice that led to the deaths of the ostensibly "bad" characters (who were just working stiffs)?

If anything, behavior that is based so much on learning is the unusual outlier. In the animal kingdom, primates (and mammals in general) are strange for how much they have to learn. Its far more efficient to have neural circuits already designed for the skills you will need. The tradeoff is that we are incredibly adaptable to the environment and culture that we live in and can continue to add skills and nuance to our repertoire for many decades. I may not have been born knowing how to navigate the Sargasso Sea, but at least I could learn how to post comments on Reddit.

Black jack is statistically the only game that has possible positive EV over a long time frame with near-perfect statistical play (aka basic knowledge of rules and play)... Unless the black jack pay is 6/5 and the offshoot plays are limited (some games do not allow play off a split).
Infinite hand bj its pretty easy to figure out who is cheating based on wager structure, along with noticing a lack of side bets.

Offroad vehicles are typically designed to go slowly over rough terrain. Their shape does not matter for aerodynamics, and being boxy means the most storage space for any given footprint.
At the opposite end of the spectrum are sports cars and cars designed for efficiency, such as the Chevrolet Corvette and the Toyota Prius. Those still have to have the space they need to do their jobs (space for two people plus a large engine for the former, space for people and cargo for the latter) while still being good aerodynamically.
Then, you have white vans, lorries/tractor-trailer trucks, box trucks, etc. Those are designed for the road, but need to maximize cargo space. The fronts tend to have as much aero design as they can get away with, and the sides often have skirts, etc. There is a limit to how efficient the design can be, but if you can carry enough stuff in the back, the efficiency matters less.
Back to offroad vehicles, that is why they were originally boxy. Nobody cares what shape offroad vehicles, bulldozers, or forklifts, were. Over time though, those offroad vehicles became the luxury vehicles as well, and space inside luxury vehicles matter. So, even while it is possible to try to make them less boxy, people have long associated "boxy" with "good offroad", which draws people to buy these box-vehicles, even when they will never take them further offroad than parking on the grass at the park. (On a side note, this has caused people who ACTUALLY need large offroad vehicles to be able to get them used more cheaply than before, and often in better shape because these "road queens" never left the road.)

I live nowhere near there but called them a few months ago. They quoted me 18 months out waiting list for my infant. But it’s good to hear you like the teachers because I will definitely consider them down the road!

Reply to comment by XaoxTheory in GM plans to phase out Apple CarPlay in EVs, with Google's help by ouatedephoque
Just assuming here, but I would think GM is aware the only way to make this work is to make their UX/OS competent.
I like having Android Auto since my car's built-in system is garbage, but if it worked like Tesla's does, I'd be pretty happy with that.
