And the industry has extended the generation cycle over time because the increased specifications aren’t generally worth it.

It makes the existing situation worse for Trump. It could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back or another scandal to add to the pile.

How do you want to define yourself? Who do you want to be a decade from now? Do you have goals?

If you can start to define your future self, you can define your present self as trying to target your future self. You can also change your definitions over time; after all you choose them.

Social media companies created algorithms to allow people to find content without having to look for it. This drove users and content creators to their sites and off the web.

For social media companies, a user’s value comes from having an account, so they have a vested interest in locking away content. For content creators, it is a lot easier to get noticed if an algorithm provides the advertising and some sites now allow for monetization within their walled garden. For users, they get content that never ends.

We’ve already see baseball start to respond to some of the problems you listed, but I see it continuing to be a major issue for most leagues as the teams have got caught up in the asset appreciation seen in other kinds of assets.

We don’t really know. I expect things to degrade until we hit a constitutional crisis of some form.

Some people like spreadsheet sims.

The game series also mixed in a lot of mafia movie vibes and satire.

Then Rockstar realized you can release a lot less content by pushing online gameplay, stopping the release of single player content.

I don’t see that working today.

If it is a house, get good insurance on it that will pay out on the cost of the structure. If they demolish the house, keep the land undeveloped and invest the insurance payout rather than rebuild. Taxes will be low because the land will have dropped in price thanks to the local community. Continue as the town has to raise taxes because they are destroying rateable properties and insurance rates rise due to the increased likelihood of property damage. Hope for either pushing the locals out or getting a municipal bankruptcy to put the town under state control.

Likely not.

Am important part is that the local economy could be on board, but it is likely that some investor would see what is happening and buy the property.

I’ve taken a listening course taught by a former cop. It turns out there is an active curriculum for police on how to actively listen to diffuse situations; it just isn’t taught as default to all cops.

Going for three from Against Me!

That seems rather typical of a middle income economy.

Israel had a part in the Benghazi attack and provided intelligence on the attack to Republicans so they could use the attack as a political weapon.

That’s basic economic theory to prices. For prices to down in an elastic market, either supply needs to increase or demand needs to decrease.

Answering the can everyone do this question, the dip usually implies that everyone cannot do this.

The dip implies a drop in demand that is causing prices to dip.

A Senate impeachment trial is effectively a vote of the Senate. It doesn’t require bipartisanship.

I wouldn’t describe them as fake lucid dreams, but I’ve had them from time to time. I usually find them unsettling as I’m used to having more control in my dreams even if I am performing the actions that my dream wants me to do.

[The USA doesn’t] have a legal mechanism for it.

The South Korean impeachment only involved South Korea’s National Assembly and Constitutional Court. It is a similar procedure to the USA’s system, except that the impeachment trial would occur with the Supreme Court instead of the Senate.

Trump’s party has a majority in both Congressional houses. Also, for impeachment to become a conviction, you need 2/3 of the vote in the Senate to get Trump pushed out of office. That will require several of Trump’s party’s senators to vote for impeachment. During the last Trump impeachment, only one of Trump’s party voted for impeachment and he is no longer a senator.
