Definitely birds or hornets making a home in the gap at the bottom there

I don't have claustrophobia, but thinking about this dude is about as close as I get. What an awful way to die, and I can't imagine how insane you have to be to enjoy this hobby.

Everyone else is failing to count the number of babies (140 million per year) nearly all of whom have 100% complete skeletons and set that against the number of amputations of perhaps a few percentage points across a much smaller number of people annually ("more than 1 million annually").

The Streisand Effect can be for vanity and secrecy. Trying to draw attention away from something the protagonist wants hidden brings more attention.

The Musk Effect can be for suck, for evil, for failure. Trying to draw attention away from evil brings more attention to the overwhelming amount of evil, of failure.

I'm not sure what about NY Mayor Eric Adams got you confused with US Representative Jamaal Bowman, but that's who pulled the fire alarm.

I don't think he's been in any space operas so I assume that's what that is?

Would have gone with Chris Pratt or the Bruce Willis or someone who at least had a relevant role

Scripting, to confirm that a large fleet of boxes are all running according to your policy. Verification that the config you want is actually the config you have.

Which do you prefer to shop for, gas or hotel rooms?

Gas is always advertised with the tax built into the price. Every sign you see is the full price. When you look at online gas apps including Gas Buddy or even Google Maps, you're seeing the full, final price.

Hotels advise one price on shopping sites and then you pay a much higher price once all the taxes are included. Can you look up the taxes in advance? Sure. Assuming you know to look for local sales tax, and county lodging tax, and the city entertainment tax. But why is that necessary? Why is it helpful to you as the consumer? Do you think the retailer doesn't know the total price in advance?
