If it weren’t for the bubble, we’d already be in a recession.

I’m taking about default behavior. 20+ years ago, the default phone call was pushing a piece of technology against an ear an next to your mouth. That hasn’t been the default for a while.

Probably how children were raised to speak to people over the phone.

Until the iPhone, I can’t think of too many personal phones that could put the call on speaker. So, if families with kids called other family, it was usually a form of one on one calls where people handed the phone off between each other. Nowadays, the default option is to put the call on speaker so everyone can hear everyone else. That set an expectation to where calls are on speaker unless there is a need for privacy.

I could probably delete LinkedIn and still walk into several companies to get a job.

It is still good for me to have it out there as a public facing version of me.

Part of it not said in any of the other answers is that schools are managed at a very local level and get a significant amount of their funding through local taxes. So, you get a lot of towns that don’t have the local tax base to raise revenue or you have a local tax base where the wealthy few would rather pay for private school than the taxes to pay for a better public school.

The problem with organized labor in this case is that the organized labor is generally fighting the government and a lot of states don’t want an effective union network getting built or spreading.

I don’t know if just stopping the attack is going to work this time. Iran was significantly attacked and will want some form of retribution in order to remind the USA to never do this again.

The USA and Israel will need to pay costs for peace.

As for “what will happen next”, the USA seems to want a cease fire and Iran is tired of getting bombed randomly, so Iran is going to close the Strait of Hormuz until it can get a better deal that means something. Israel and the USA don’t seem to want to make that kind of deal.

So Iran is going to start a recession by restricting oil supply for the rest of the world to get the rest of the world to intervene or to get that agreement from the USA and Israel.

This will likely last until November, when the midterm election is supposed to happen. Trump wasn’t popular already. A recession caused by military action is going to get a lot of people pissed. That recession will likely pop the AI bubble, both due to a loss of market liquidity and increased energy prices fueling AI.

“In these two wars, security cameras are being hacked as a way to gain intelligence”

Fixed the headline.

There are a lot of places out there which don’t do that.

Yeah. These quotes from Londoners before compulsory education show how bad it was:

I think it is the future, but the future is much slower getting here than people think and will likely be more bespoke than dumping the entire written contents of the English language into a computer.

Given that Iran is getting bombed but no nuclear power is kind of shows the value of nuclear deterrence.

Years of practice from spammers and others.

I don’t see why not. Israel attacked oil infrastructure, showing this was as much an economic war as anything else.

Everyone. Iran isn’t going to abide by the international order if the international order is going to allow it to get bombed in a war of aggression.

This is being done as it is the only card Iran can realistically play to get international pressure to get this to not happen in the future.

Someone is going to have to plan the trip, still. Are you planning it? Is the retired family friend planning it?

How are the two of you talking about planning the trip together? Have you two discussed what the two of you want out of the trip? Does your friend know that one of the reasons you picked Vietnam was to drink, meaning they may end up with a hungover roommate?

Also, 45 days is a lot of time to be around someone. Plan activities where you two can be apart.

Given his script caveats to get him to star, you’re right.

Movies are going to go away because either no one has the attention span for them or they want a full season of prestige television.

I disagree with 4. Nic Cage is a great actor, he just isn’t going to give a subdued method actor style of performance.
