@Martyupnorth@BruceF77 I like you marty but this is crazy. Hes right you know. I work at a dealership and it depends on the clutch but 4900 is crazy. Should be under 2k. Also most car payments are way under 1000 bucks a month still. I just bought a new elantra for 168 bw. So your info is very wrong.
@Weirdo__52@AdamGSimon@UAPJames Thanks for the answer. Really appreciate it. ๐ Yeah, I think we're about to learn a lot about what consciousness really is, including whether or not AI can be conscious. Consciousness may be unique to humans and what gives us an advantage over AI.
@Emiking1@TimeyinI Sorry, but you have it very wrong. Very, very few people bought a house in their 20s and had it paid off in their 30s. LOL. First, lots don't buy until their 30s. Second, the standard mortgage has a 25 year amortization, so even IF it was bought at 25, you're not done until 50.
@paulwitcombe@OG_Greengirl@iruletheworldmo For sure it's going to take some time. And yes, an IT person can't just instantly become a tradesman. But my friend teaches a gas fitters course and he's already seeing people in his class that left IT. Even of it takes 15 years but we lose 30-50% of jobs, that's catastrophic.
@MelissaLMRogers@TELUSsupport Not sure why you're paying so much even if that includes a phone. We pay $40 per month for 60 GB of data, unlimited text and calling for most countries in the world, and roaming across Canada, US, and Mexico.
@mickhelmick4@chantler_jaki@khazeni@TodayinHistory@oregoncitizen_ That's still wrong. LOL. The real answer is about 8.5 miles radius. Meaning 8.5 miles from the volcano. I really wish people wouldn't use square miles and just say "everything within eight and a half miles".
The 2017 trip featured a larger group (~29 executives) with heavy pomp, a state banquet, and announcements of major trade deals worth hundreds of billions.
This week's delegation is smaller (~16-17 CEOs, closely matching the list), more scaled-back and targeted at resolving specific regulatory/market access issues for those companies amid current tensions. Similar business-diplomacy playbook, but less flashy.
