You don't.

Worse, I may be a human today and a bot tomorrow. I may stop posting and my account gets taken over/hacked.

There is an old joke. I know my little brother is an American. Born in America, lived his life in America. My older brother... I don't know about him.

A guide to raising birth rates from article.

Increase these : libraries, public schools, public parks, and public broadcasting

Decrease these: worried about whether he will lose his job,or if our kids’ school will lose funding, or if our neighbors will be deported, or if our gay and trans friends will be stripped of more of their rights, or if the air quality will get so bad that we will all be forced into being stay-at-home everyones,

Brilliant article that highlights many issues. (There are other issues, but this is a good list.)

Both kinds exist.

It is helpful to have both.

Tapes beat spinning disks.

Here is a source I didn't read: https://www.howtogeek.com/858426/whats-the-best-way-to-store-data-for-decades-or-centuries/

My actual source is "used to professional care about longevity".

I always thought those movies were too simplistic.

Some people would think things through.

If only there were tools that allowed large handed men to do delicate work with small parts.

Lazy racists.

One can flip the box over in the store and see how empty the box is.

Really though, shop based on weight.

Good news. Only several inches of snow slows traffic in MN, and only until the plows hit it. It is an accepted reason to stay home when the plows are not yet out.

Interesting it is not EU citizenship...

Edit:

During the 12 months leading up to March, more than 6,000 US citizens have applied to either become British subjects or to live and work in the country indefinitely

Poor people gotta die. -RFK Jr. Probably

The houses are warm and insulated (in general). The clothing keeps one warm between buildings. Friendly people.

Snow is around for less than 6 months a year.

When there is "motivated reasoning" no documents will save you.

I search things so others can be lazy.

Cluster B things:

I wish there were more lighted "closed" signs. I often cannot see the unlit "open" sign, but can see the lights inside are on with people inside.

Has she always been bad at her job?

(I get her job now has a constituency of one.)

Yup. Customers gotta note and avoid the untrustworthy spokes people, otherwise there is no downside for the spokesperson.

Why would one need to emphasize "fruit salad"? fruit salad is insane.

I had to look this up. It seems gendered bathrooms are very old.

I cannot vouch for this site, but it introduces interesting history. https://historyqa.com/gendered-bathrooms-history/

(The version of history needs to be confirmed and scholarly sources I found have broken URLs.)

Close. Bezos has is wealth from the stock value of Amazon. Amazon's stock value is loosely tied to assets of the company, but strongly tied to expected growth of profits. Additionally, it trades at a high multiple of current profits.

A company may have few assets and a large stock valuation (the stock price multiplied by number of stock shares outstanding).
