Wow. Learn to read.

The answer to that is literally the last sentence of my first comment. I’m pretty sure you have a very narrow definition of what evolution means. But even the normal narrow one covers what I said above. It’s practically a textbook case.

So both are true. Humans are the most co-operative. But if you look at the achievements, most are done to better one group of humans over another. Rarely is something done for the good of all humans. I’m actually struggling to think of even one thing that was done for the good of all humans. There must be a few, but I just can’t think of any.

I’m not excusing it in any way.
I wish I had a way to advance our evolution past this point so that we didn’t have a significant portion of the population that are monsters.

The issue here is humans. In large groups humans do terrible things. Usually in small group interactions they are pretty decent. It’s very odd. But probably the result of evolution. Other branches of “human” that didn’t act this way were probably wiped out by those that did.

Edit: This is not an attempt to excuse or justify their actions. All of the men (and maybe women now too) who have done these things, and the leaders who let it happen should be punished severely. I have my own ideas on that punishment, but don’t want to start a debate on that.

Okay, so a person wanting to buy may have to buy ay multiple prices if the quantity they want to buy is larger than any one bidder. Ugly from a user ineteraction perspective, but makes more sense. When people put up bids, do they put a range or something so they don’t have to constantly monitor, and it adjustes some magical way?

I too thought self driving cars would be further along. It just seemed like they were already decent… so 5 to 10 more years… and we are not much further. We have self driving cars in some select cities, but they still struggle even then.

Anyone who was proud of america before was just drinking the coolaid. There are things america did that were worth being proud of individually, but soo many more not to. It’s the same idea as idolizing a person. The vast majority of the time they are really a bad person overall. Instead focus on the event or achievement and not the person.

Hypo is does not mean they don’t trigger allergies. Just less.

Sure, but do the odds change constantly with each person buying in? And if so, does that mean somone who bought in at 10 to 1, could end up getting 2 to 1 by the time it pays out?

The thing I struggle with, is how do they manage ensuring thier is a bet on the other side to balance. I mean someone has to make the first bet. I assume you can offer, but if no one or not enough people take the offer then your offer doesn’t conver to a real bet or something? And if that is how it works, say someone puts up money on a significant underdog. There would likely be a lot of interest, probably more than needed to balance the bet. How do they decide who gets the action and who doesn’t?

There are two parts. First, they aren’t as underpaid as most people think in most cases. The union isn’t dumb. When they negotiate they look at the long term. A career teacher (30 to 35 years) can retire at about 55 give or take depending on the district. And they will get something like 80% of thier salary for the rest of thier life. They will also get subsidized health insurance. And in some states, all of that is tax free. That is a ton of money and a ton of security. And for many, they can retire, collect pension, and go get another job at the same time if they want. I make more than double what teachers make best case, and my wife works too for a 6 figure salary. I can’t possibly retire at 55, let alone feel secure doing so. I also have been laid off twice over the last 30 years, where as most teacher don’t have to worry about that after 10 years. Now, I get to take vacation anytime of the year, I can change jobs or move and not mess up my future benefits. I don’t have to deal with parents. Lots of intangible benefits to not being a teacher. But the point is the union ensures those less obvious benefits, which keeps the current salary low. This keeps the optics of drastically underpaid teachers so that the union can still negotiate for more with public sentiment on thier side. So while they are still underpaid, it isn’t as drastic as it would appear.

The other reason is simple. There are a lot of teachers. Like a lot a lot. And schools are generally built to a higher standard of saftey, so they are much more expensive than other building types. All of this adds up to a very high cost. Education is typically one of the largest expenditures for a state budget. Poloticians could dump more money into it, but it isn’t likely to be enough to make a difference that will get them reelected. So they put money other places that will get them votes.

That’s your reasons why.

At this point, many of us are numb to the impending whatever. There is always 6 things happening that shouldn’t be happening (that we know about) and that could upend our lives. And usually there is very little we can do besides yell on the internet.

Lol. Unless you know where to smash, the data is still recoverable. And she is paranoid.

Yeah, it’s a very old one. Iphone 4. It’s been collecting dust for years.

Any idea how to do that if it was say your mother in laws, and she doesn’t remeber any of the related passwords including icloud?

Coed recreational sports team. Lots of them are mostly social with a little bit of sports tossed in. And almost all of them are looking for more players.

Only if they have any interest in people’s long term well being. Which if they really had, they would send them to war.

The vast majority of lawyers don’t work that way. They get paid as they go. The ones who do… aren’t going after your average private person because they don’t have enough money to be worth it. Even 100% probably wouldn’t be enough in these cases. How much do you think they could win from Joe public per case?
