Netflix seems to hold on to content for as long as possible, but HBO is going the route of removing content to avoid paying residuals to cast and crew. Frankly, because of that terrible decision, I'm relieved to see people leaving. That's right; I subscribed and they removed West World right as I started it. I'm bitter, but mostly, that's just a nasty thing to do to the cast and crew of shows that people love.
Also, side tangent. What the hell is with modern marketing firms getting into the brains of c-suites and talking them into destroying their brand? I mean, "Max"? WTF? HBO has been a household name since the 80s; everyone knows it, there was no need for a change. You know what Max is to most people? Cinemax, another household name from the 80s. Just stupid.
Every time I go to buy cat food I have to hunt down the bag, because some asshole talked them into a logo/design/name change. They're changing something their customers look for, because some marketer is rattling around in their heads. It's maddening.
People ask me where my wife works, and I can't remember the name, because some marketer talks them into a revamp every 2 years.
Did everyone just graduate from the Elon Musk School of Dumb Marketing Decisions? PLEASE STOP, DAMMIT!
Would there be heavy ligament anchor points on the bones? It seems like there would be evidence of a completely different muscle build, maybe simply by the size of the spine bones themselves. I'm no bonologist, though.
And yeah, that chest is gnarly (but I'm no chestologist).
The sentence after the one you quoted explains how this is different from other treatments (it's Musk). With any other company, the question wouldn't have even entered my mind.
Neuralink said in a blog post that it was looking for people who had paralysis in all four limbs because of a spinal-cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, these people are willing to take a risk in order to overcome difficult conditions, and that should be allowed. On the other hand, it feels like Neuralink is preying on their hopes.
If the company figurehead wasn't a libertarian billionaire edgelord, I might look past that second hand. No chance of that, though. He's going to kill people, and then he's going to retweet memes about it.
EDIT: Sorry everyone, was just having some fun, until I remembered that no level of crazy breaks through the joke wall anymore. So, yeah, for more facts find me on Truth Social under patrioteaglefreedomlover17762
Is there any reasonable stance a person could hold, where teachers unions would be a "frequent foe"?
Imagine always knowing better than teachers, doctors, historians, fact checkers, other parents, and virtually any expert or intellectual. I can't even wrap my head around that level of ego. The mind boggles.
I strongly disagree. How does one even acquire knowledge of military history without language skills? Youtube videos, TV shows, and movies are not "advanced level education" (their words), but writing research papers is. Even if they somehow soak up the knowledge without reading, if they can't write at a higher level than what I'm expecting here, they're going to fail their classes. Hell, they won't even make it to college.
This person is either lazy, sloppy, ignorant, apathetic, or some combination of those. Why on Earth would I want them as a teacher, when there are millions of other educators who don't have these issues? It's a red flag is all; that's my entire point. Of course, there are brilliant educators who cannot write, but the vast majority of people who have gone through higher education know how capitalization works in sentences. Again, just a red flag, not an absolute. There's no need to gamble; we owe this person nothing.
Basic language skills aren't an above-and-beyond expectation from someone calling themselves an educator, it's baseline. When even that's not met, it brings doubt to everything else they may say. Maybe you're fine with that, I am not.
People don't seem too upset about this, so I'll go off in another direction! The Youtuber doesn't understand basic capitalization, in titles or sentences, and even the channel name is botched. To add some irony, the channel has "Learn" in its name.
I'm not expecting English majors be consulted for every statement, but the most basic grammar, that small children learn, is certainly not too much to expect from an "educational" channel. That's bottom-of-the-barrel, and they still can't be bothered. Hell, there are dozens of websites that you can just drop text into, and the site will automatically fix your capitalization, instantly, for free.
They describe themselves as an "advanced level" education channel. You can't even get away with that kind of sloppiness in junior high, so the actual channel "level" is likely below that. If they can't be bothered with such a basic detail, we should not trust anything else they have to say.
Apologies for the digression, and the rant. This is mildly infuriating, but I feel better now.
Looks like you got a taste of the good life early on, and now you're jaded. I tease (but not really).
Not sure if it's still the case, but Dell used to assign a support tech/team to each business account, and you could call them any time, directly. They'll dick around with home users, who'll only purchase a handful of devices over a lifetime. But, businesses order hundreds of machines at a time, and Dell isn't stupid.
Something else to consider is that home support has to do stuff like help aunt Bertha find the Facebook icon on her desktop (in the late 90s, I was one of the guys they'd send to her house, as a last-last-last resort, oh boy). Where, businesses will often have their own tech calling Dell, with real problems, that are costing money. Those are two vastly different skill sets, and it would be a waste to use the same support team for both sides.
The contrast between the two tiers really is striking though, and it seems you found that out early.
That burning anger you feel when reading about stuff like this, is partly the point. Your outrage is funny to them, and they can't wait to unleash more contradiction and hypocrisy, just to watch you squirm.
I'm not saying to ignore them, or to become apathetic. People should just be aware of that aspect, so they're not as easily toyed with by vile little men, like Tuberville. Ignore the trolls, look for the helpers, and cheer them on.
Apologies for the light digression, and rant. I typed that out as a reminder for myself, more than anything else. So tired of these clowns gumming up the works of every single thing they touch.
