Absolutely. The only mention of phones, at all, is in conjunction with the masses taking pictures of the Mona Lisa. Which is such a bizarre thing (the painting being tiny and so incredibly far away) that you feel compelled to take a picture just to show how strange it is.
At the same time, thanks to the decline in US tourism this year, the situation in Europe is at an all time worst when it comes to cost, crowding, and annoyance. The strike, it is mentioned, was due to the overcrowding.
For the life of me, I cannot understand if transphobes are just not aware of how stupid their arguments are, or if they know perfectly well and the stupidity of the argument is some kind of show of power.
Trump is one half. The other is Microsoft and their idiotic (policy of declaring virtually all existent government hardware not good enough for Windows 11.
I'd take a lot of pain if it means I don't have to buy entirely new computers for all my staff, and get ready to do that again when Windows 11.1 or Windows 12 comes out.
That's the thought I always had: When I develop in Node, I stand on the shoulders of ten thousand microbes.
I would venture the guess that this is a move meant to cripple the economies of blue cities and states.

I'll save you the read: they invented the Segway.
The only thing more important than "do nothing wrong" is to loudly correct those who are doing "almost right" and "in the right direction."
I mean, why would a guy that started a car rental company know anything about radio waves?
Gotcha!
"No one should find themselves in this situation."
No one would if the corporations making the mistakes actually faced consequences beyond, "Oopsie!"
Fine companies real money if they make an "honest mistake." They will make dramatically fewer of them.
I don't think they really cared if China took advantage of it. America's CEOs are only invested in the next few quarters, at best. Something that might take a decade or two is entirely not relevant to their planning and actions.
Listen, guys. I don't know. This whole fascist takeover thing seems to be backfiring a little.
That is what utilities need to be doing. Right now, they refuse to do much about energy storage, and home owners with solar or wind generation have to buy expensive batteries to buffer their production. That is stupid expensive for individual producers and is something a utility needs to take over. They just don't want to because it's more lucrative to burn fossil fuels and charge for that.
