Sarah Huckabee Sanders never even really showed up for her job. She just collected the paycheck.

They'll do something about it: propose rules that give them a leg up and hamper others.

And I'm sure they are the ones wanting to have a say in how to regulate it aka killing the competition. This is not their benevolence. We are not close to AGI.

Good. Those two are pretty well known for horrible labor conditions.

Thankfully taxi services have finally gotten off their ass and most large cities have a taxi app. I used to fucking hate taxis because I never carried cash and the driver would get all huffy when I wanted to use card despite clearly having a card machine. I know most of it was they prefer cash to skirt taxes and also avoid the card fee (which they could add to the charge) but sorry, not sorry.

Uber came along and card was the default and you knew how much the ride would be before you even called them. No more guessing how much it would cost and having to pay attention to make sure the driver isn't taking a scenic route to drive up the meter.

That is far on the norm these days. Many AirBnBs add on a ton of fees like a massive cleaning fee but still require you to clean up so the cost comes out to be more than a hotel and you still have to clean up and there are a ton of house rules. It has only been recently that AirBnB gave you the option of seeing the extra fees while searching but it's still not the default option. Their customer service kind of sucks too. I stayed in a place in LA that had sewage backing up into the sinks and the place itself was pretty gross. They offered a slight discount on the night we stayed and allowed us to cancel the second night. A hotel would have probably comped us a night and given us a decent room.

There are still diamonds in the rough though which are generally people who genuinely have a mother in law unit or room spare and they live in the rest of the place. Most of them are done by corporations though who are simply looking for lower taxation.

This time is the second fastest time any American competing in the women’s 1500-meter race has ever done.

I guess I am not sure what record they are setting. This statement seems to imply that at least one other person set a better record (1 American and any number of non Americans).

Thanks for finally agreeing, bud. Glad that the delusions are fading.

1080 Snowboarding forced me to get an Interact Superpad 64. It had a metal joystick.

Cue the lawsuit to be able to continue using it.

Everyone knows you hop on another kid's shoulders and put on a trenchcoat, fedora, and sunglasses and gave the name Robert Businessman.

My very rural school used a technology grant to get a few smart boards (that first kind). I'm an older millennial. They were not as useful as a white board for drawing stuff on the board but quicker to setup for slide presentations.
