Yeah, it would be stupid and counterproductive, but we're talking about the US military so I figured I'd ask.

How identical are we talking here? Just frames or lenses too?

Oh good. I just had one of these, too. I'm in Japan and wanted coffee. After a few blocks not seeing any dedicated coffee places, I decided a convenience store would suffice. They have the coffee gadgettron 9000 with no coffee cups in sight. I figured the machine would supply the cup as well, or if not, at least sense that there wasn't a cup in place before it started pissing its own pants with coffee. Neither was the case. After failing to find a pause/cancel button, I summoned my inner skeleton and just walked out.

Any reduction in deportations is obviously good news, but part of me wanted to watch the effects of burgers costing $20 from a safe distance.

Hmm . . .

someone who is good at scrabble please help me with this.

Dating myself here, but anyone remember ephedrine (minithins, white crosses)? Those and a bunch of cigarettes (to a non-smoker) made for a fun night. On my second time, I decided there didn't need to be a third.

The old average seems really low for the distance. Is it heavily subsidized?

You really have to reference places people know. I'm from Pennsylvaniait'ssouthofnewyork.

Even if that happens, it's not the win one might think it is. The capitalist economy serves capital, not CEOs. CEOs are just the best-paid servants of capital. They, especially founders, get a lot of capital themselves but conflating the two is an error and, in our era, largely a consequence of the rise of tech. A generation or so in, we're seeing that the incredibly rich CEOs can step down without pausing the harm their companies cause. Nadella owns 0.01% of Microsoft. That's $339 million, so not paltry by any means unless you're comparing it to Gates' or even Ballmer's stakes. Still, we haven't seen Microsoft shift into non-shittiness and won't see that under a pivot to AICEOs that survive on electricity and newsfeeds alone. The problem will still be capitalism, even if it doesn't have a head to cut off.

That's the other thing I was trying to figure out in my other tabs. What should I do with my current laptop? It's not garbage yet and I'd prefer to keep it, but if giving it away will make it easier to get the new one home duty-free, any ideas where it should go?
