I don't think this is "sneaky" - to use the term from the article. Yes, on the one hand a band could maximize by playing in a larger venue, but maybe doing so diminishes the experience for more people. Smaller venues, greater

I'm with you 100%. My company held a major retreat at a "resort" in New Mexico, and literally everything cost money. Wanna rent a mountain bike for 30 minutes, that's $10. Want a massage? That's $150. If they had ju

Good point, successfully using AI takes skill. If you'll please pardon me, I don't think your average GenZ knows how to properly use it. It takes someone who grew up with technology, who understands the fundamentals of technology,

I think it might be partially cultural, American buffets have a lot of leftover food, and people tend to take a lot of food and throw away a lot of food. There's a variety of reasons why it has to be thrown away, but it is.

I've noticed that the cheaper the hotel, the more free things they give you. Such as breakfast buffets. Rather than a buffet, they could give out a meal ticket. If you want extras, you can pay a small fee for those, meant to cover the

You guys updated your Kindle? From the first ad that I saw on my old Kindle, I just stopped updating it. It's an e-book reader. I reason that if I never update it, it will never update the ads.

I can see that, but would that not also apply to other people who hold large amounts? And to play devils advocate for a moment, isn't one of the points of a decentralized currency is the inability to be tracked ?

Every time I see one of these articles about "unmasking" Nakamoto, I always wonder the same thing: why? I don't really see a compelling reason to unmask this person. Surely there are other more important things a journalist c

But there's a core problem with this, in many states doctors are legally forbidden to give nutrition advice. The academy of nutrition and dietetics has worked very hard to make it so that only dietitians can provide nutrition advice. T

The article seems to say that it's not jobs nobody wants, but rather a labor shortage from an aging population. Japan just seems to be running out of people for its labor market.

I am not surprised by this, what else does someone in government regulations do? Work in government, the industry, or lobby. It's all a revolving door regardless of political party/ideology, but I get it. It's a narrow field.

That's a really good point… It reminded me of some of the crazy email addresses that my friends have had, and how they've mostly created new email addresses for their professional lives.

I support this. We should prosecute these people and Bondi's excuse that the economy would collapse was so ridiculous as to be insulting. If crimes were committed the perpetrators must be prosecuted no matter who they are.

I hate to be jaded, but why are they doing this? It's not out of the goodness of their hearts or to give us the convenience of changing our email address. Is it?

Another point to add, is that old saying: if the service is free, you are the product. I have long considered that dating apps are taking all of our data, and selling it. What's more personal than social media? What do you think about
