Maybe I'm misreading something, but it looks like you cited the expected lifespan at birth. To the right, in the paleolithic section, it says: life expectancy for the 60% reaching age 15 averages 39 remaining years. So the average e

Joe Biden just pardoned his son from crimes that would have gotten you and me in jail already. The only crime there is evidence he committed is never prosecuted against regular people, so it's the exact opposite of what you claim.

In engineering, someone technical who can detect deception is too valuable to put in the interviewer role. Send them to conferences to “poach”. Those are wildly different skill sets and/or personality traits.

That told me that they were butchering the wiring on every brand new car that hit their lot. There's no need for butchering. All that's needed is constant 12V. Maybe an aux 12V if you need to know when the car is on. At most,

IMO, there's no such thing as a career in tech, outside of maybe FAANGs (or whatever they're called now). It's just a series of jobs until accumulated wealth, ageism, or disability ends it.

Unless I'm mistaken, a big reason we don't have smaller cars in the US (other than consumer demand) is related to safety regulations rather than fuel economy laws. It's a combination of everything. Trucks keep getting bigg
