Apologies, I misread the tone of your comment. I thought you were jokingly saying dial up was fancy while you had to deal with AOL. I didn't read it as two different statements as I should have.

AOL was dial-up.

The year is 76,014. Voyager still hasn't left the solar system. Also, the solar system now contains Proxima Centauri.

There are currently 10 million vacant homes across the US, (15 million if you count the ones for rent,) which represents about 7.5% of the total housing. Not refuting your argument, just adding to the conversation.

I guess a lot of these are in less than desirable locations, among other factors, but 4.5 million of them are listed as seasonal, occasional, or recreational use. That's a lot of vacant housing, considering only 1.2 million of them are for sale.

Edit, I guess these are 2020 numbers so these may have changed since then.

Not a game. Just an API. Simulate a big world and just let it run. Allow others to make clients for the world in different styles, viewpoints, and work different mechanics. But those clients connect to a simulated world.

Didn't see Baumgartner Restoration here yet. Incredibly soothing art restoration

Why do they do lab analysis anyways? Don't all the other breeds have similar sensitivities? And I'm sure a science room thingy test (I forget what it's called,) would be cheaper than a whole dog???

I'm sorry for not being more clear about how the dishes should be done.

And I believe a couple of the companies I've worked for have been sued, which is why they pay for prep time. But not all the companies in my industry (oil and gas) do.

Many of the companies I've worked for had policies that required you to put on your PPE, gather your tools, and be at your station at the time your scheduled to start. This takes approximately 15-20 minutes. And no, we weren't allowed to leave until relieved by the next person.

I go through phases of writing things down. I do it for a week, realize I remember everything I wrote down, and get used to remembering. Then I'll think, well, this whole thing was useless, I'm just remembering it. So I get lazy, stop writing things down, and start forgetting. Repeat ad nauseum.

I do something similar for waking up on time. I'll set 8 alarms in 15 minute increments. I'll start waking up 2-3 minutes before each one, and think to myself, well this is annoying, I'm waking up on my own. So I remove most of the alarms, and then oversleep.
