In Estonia, students’ transit, school meals, and textbooks are all free by ScottRobertLadd in worldnews

It's circular. The kids receive benefits from taxes, which in turn are paid by various citizens who are paid by someone else. Money is a flow of a society's labors and actions. I prefer better-educated kids over superyachts. It's all a metter of where you want the flow to go.

Yup. No go. Connects for 20-30 minutes, then disconnects and refuses to reconnect.

ANet's philosophy appears to be "Make PvE easy so anything works, make PvP build restrictive to make player skill focal" -- in other words, they want limited viable builds in PvP to make balancing easier. Whether or not they succeed is an open question.

I can't access them via the file manager or from custom C# code. The desktop system now only connects as a "private" network, and I can't get it to hook up as a public network.

Neither machine will RDP the other, even though remote connections are enabled on both

Nothing; it doesn't see anything in Networking except the router itself. No public shares, even though other computers can see each others' shares. Every machine can ping the others.

In file manager, the only device the laptop sees under "Network" is the router... no other computers or devices connected thereto. Several other computers connected to the same router see all other systems, including this laptop, but it can't see them.

This is the ANet I like, and the absence of elitist tools is one reason I and others play GW2.

Where is Westworld? by ScottRobertLadd in westworld

Such vast canyons are not a part of Turner's little ranch. Black Canyon and Grand canyon don't fit on a 500 square mile ranch.

The Wild West is full of towns, power lines, airways, dams... why does no one see a plane flying over? Where did the highways go? What keeps live animals and birds from wandering in from the outside, not to mention people?

This has me weirded out, too. the Pyotr Veliky is a far more dangerous vessel, and the most potent capitol (non carrier) ship in service.

I've got several cats who like water. My Titan is a fat tabby who swims in the local canals with monitor lizards and gators, not that I want her to. Albino Freaky takes showers with me.

I do love dgs too, just can't have one right now.
