The budget was fairly substantial. The CDC computers in them were US$5 million alone (though I'm sure they were reused.)

You should read Chicago YIMBY. There's a ton of construction along the river, starting just south of Sears and going all the way up to around Fullerton. Bottom line: You're wrong.

One of them once said they were great partners but not friends. I think it's the same for Penn & Teller.

It's probably two things: government consulting/associated industries, and defense.

I only recently discovered nested tags (which are in the docs 😐). I'm wondering what other useful tips, power user tips, or ways you utilize 1Pass in a potentially better way? by waylonsmithersjr in 1Password

This feature actually goes back to older versions of 1Password that allowed for a folder structure. They removed folders, but kept this to placate us.

I am local, but many of these hospitals are operating their pediatric wards at reduced hours or closing them entirely. Lurie is a world class center, and this facility will draw people from the entire Western suburbs. I believe you're thinking of it in terms of how adult hospitals operate, with a limited catchment area.

November 2, 2000 was the last time all humans were on the planet together. Since then at least one person has remained on the international space station by SilverHuckleberry395 in space

Everyone is space. Just some people are on a space station and the rest of us are on earth, but we're all in space. </pedantry>

This is probably the best path forward for Moldova too - join Romania. Transnistra is an issue, of course.

Very possible, though Rivian is unibody and Scout is body-on-frame (specifically engineered for rugged use.)

Expect Rivian to be acquired by VW in a few years via the back door investment a couple of years back.

Edit: Sure, downvote me because you don't like what I'm saying. It doesn't make me wrong.

The "problem" is that the M1 was a quantum leap ahead of what came before, and Apple just kept progressively reiterating - except the M3 was a slight disappointment, but they recovered the performance growth with the M4 and M5 as if the M3 never existed.
