There's a Brit Marling movie where exactly that kind of thing happens to some corporate execs. (I think it was a chemical company instead of mining though.)

The title is...

He should, and he can, but he doesn't.

I misread that bit by the QR code as "scam here." Somehow I think that's equally accurate.

This post specifically says you can't (without the bypass many won't understand how to do).

Can't get past the paywall but I hope India will see a better future with a leader who cares for all its people.

Ransomware suspending hospital operations? That's an actual horror story...

We all like to joke about cats leeching but they're definitely not Capitalist. They're hunter gatherers for whom the concept of hoarding resources doesn't exist. To them, when there's plenty, you vie for it all within the social group (seems there are hierarchies?) and no one has to go hungry and there's no waste (including wasted energy). This also preserves plenty of leisure and social time.

If raised in an environment where it makes sense to hunt and you encourage them to do so, they'll happily contribute what they believe to be palatable food. If left alone, reasonably fit cats can fend for themselves too if necessary.

They'll take what shelter they get and bury their waste so it can fertilize the ground.

That wouldn’t have been good for the family or for me.”

This has helped Regnier, who is paid £3.3m to run the UK’s fifth-largest bank, gain a reputation as an “approachable” boss, according to a former colleague

Nobody should be paid that much but he's an outlier for the industry in allowing hybrid work at least.

Yup! I don't read most spoilers but I at least know we're finally getting into some long-awaited lore. :)

Biden's older than a Boomer though, he's Silent Generation. (Trump is on the older end, but indeed a Boomer.) I'm curious if you'll ever have a Gen X president some day, but it's not really generation that matters so much as having someone of reasonable intelligence who has empathy and integrity instead of yet another power-networking fundraising wizard.

We've almost made it now. 1115 is coming very soon. :')
