Covid gave the whole world a chance to try something different. The only changes I’m aware of from that were regressions.

Are you saying that future people will study us for what NOT to do?

Nation Builder was my thought.

The people that cry about immigrants will start to see more criminal immigrants coming if only the wealthy countries have vaccines.

All the big corporations fighting to get into developing countries will see their market share and profits fall as the populations die off without aid.

Why did you use a picture from 2019? That’s, like, 2 or 3 strokes ago, and a reversal of dementia?

“Hard questions.” Bull shit. The “question” is to make great profit selling to the most populous country with proper safe guards. Or to make astronomical profits by selling a knowingly tainted product that kills people.

In the US, isn’t that what the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) electrical designation is? A separate entity that certifies?

I think it is separate from the government.

Unlike Energy Star, which is part of the US government’s EPA, and thus it was, or was threatened with, reduced in capacity by Trump.

fl_numerator = 1

fl_denominator = 3

And division is a “stretch goal” once we get funding.

Reaching a real person at any of these companies’ call centers will cost the company real money.

(It can also hurt the statistics of the call center employee, so it’s morally wishy-washy)

Smart. The US is going to become an enemy of most of Europe, and already has said the US wants to take over Greenland.

Good! Good luck to the workers!

He also emphasized that for common painkillers such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, the EU is entirely dependent on Asia.

One of the main causes of shortages, the auditors in Luxembourg noted, is weakness in supply chains.

Additionally, the EU’s internal market for medicines is fragmented and free trade is restricted.

The US does not require the turn indicator to be a separate light from the brake light.

The US has almost no current cars with an orange turn indicator on the rear. The red brake light doubles as both.

When US cars are made for other countries, the separate orange light is added.

America only has 2nd or 3rd world consumer protection.

Putin can immediately end it with just one word: retreat.

Interesting. Though I could see almost any property owner wanting this, too. And also many manufacturers of random things. It used to be everywhere.

Thanks for the info. Best of luck to Brazil for a brighter future.

Has life in Brazil improved since he left?

I used to see many horrible headlines about Brazil during his time, but hardly anything now.

I would think the pre-known hardware configuration would make boots near instant. I never understood why this isn’t so.

No. When Microsoft is making the hardware, they can lock it down so nothing else can be installed. Mostly with signed boot loaders and drivers.

Remember when the PS3 actually allowed other operating system installations. Then, one day, they pushed out a new firmware that disabled that ability.

Maybe eventually someone figures out a hack. But these days, the hacks are complex enough, with many other available alternatives, that you’re looking at barely dozens of people doing it.
