Used to love space stuff, although some of it was horrible (old enough to remember watching the challenger blow up on TV as a pre-teen). Don't really understand this moon effort. Space is uniquely hostile to humans, our tech just isn't ready IMO and probably won't be for 100 years. Our personas certainly aren't ready - I can tolerate far more isolation than most people, I often go 1-2 weeks without any real human contact at all, routinely go days without speaking to anyone. And yet the idea of living on a moon or mars colony gives me serious pause for the isolation it would involve. Space station has a different problem in that i'd be wanting to push people out of the airlock after a few weeks, or eject myself that way.
Anyway this moon trip seems totally pointless. I can get why other countries want to land there but for the US, moon expeditions have zero value, especially when we are burning so much money on stupid wars and and the same time cutting healthcare and food support for citizens.
I started mine monday and it never finished (never got the email saying its ready). I started it again on tuesday and it finished in two hours. Maybe they just had a surge of exports on monday.
Maybe they drafted it on a phone where capitalization is harder. My guess is the all-lowercase world is mostly people who do most of their text creation on phones and similar, not keyboards.
Federal US government & to some extent local law enforcement. They most likely won't be able to use them, but they will buy them and put them in a warehouse. Long tradition of US government doing this with tech, going back to SGI workstations in the 90s if not earlier.
I don't have a real ID and don't plan to get one, but I also basically never fly anymore (been over 5 years). However this is certainly further incentive for me not to fly - wonder if airlines will see a slight decline in travelers over next few years due to this.
It's not ADHD, it's an anxiety disorder. The two things can coexist, but the underlying cause of the hoarding [in most instances, definitely with my mom] is anxiety related to "losing" the items.
This is why you see hoarding triggered by loss so often.
In PA they scan your ID if you buy beer. There could be a full digital record of all my beer purchases for past 15+ years, although I'm not aware of any aggregation of this data that is happening. Not that I expect anyone doing it would talk about it.
We're well above 2% anyway, I doubt they will ever hit that again - they are already having to cut rates because job market is frozen, and that will increase inflation pressure.
I track my spend each year and my personal actual inflation rate has averaged about 4.5% over past 5 years. And I'm pretty low income, my spending is all core stuff.
