USA is large and people live everywhere, including hard to get spots. USPS just works in all those places. Privatization would discriminate against those people in a heartbeat. See: rural broadband in the US.
My dog's favorite treat is the most expensive one. Or the one that causes the most intestinal (and therefore cleanup) issues. All it takes is a pause and some brief math to see that a lot of (good for your dog) dog treats are $16/lb. That's not even remotely the most expensive. It's cheaper to feed them straight meat. I've resorted to making my own treats. It's like $4/lb, plus you know exactly what goes into it (mostly ground turkey, yams, rice/chickpea flour).
As an ex-Navy Seal, and JAG officer who retired for the slow life of owning a hardware store in a sleepy small town, only to accidentally uncover a international multi-million dollar conspiracy with help from the voluptuous town sheriff twenty years my junior... this math all adds up nicely.
I heard copper is better an transferring heat but aluminum is better at RELEASING heat via airflow. Hence you see copper tubes on cpu coolers that terminate in aluminum fins.
Was this not lampooned directly in "40 Year Old Virgin" where a young Jonah Hill tries to buy some disco boots at an ebay store but can't because you have to go through the website.
When I did commercial fishing in Alaska, often the boats just had two speakers, one in the wheel house and one on the deck (long liner). You just talked into/toward the speaker.
When I was in cooking school there was a brief lesson in photo presentation. For something like a burger you would skew from front to back, going upward to the top bun to show the layers better but it wasn't visually noticeable that it was skewed on the photo. This seems like the same thing except the ai has chosen the side view instead of the frontal view, thus making the skew very noticeable.
This was a design choice by AMD at the time for their Athlon Slot A cpus. Use the same slot A board which you could set the cpu speed by bridging a connections. Since the Slot A came in a package, you couldn't see the actual cpu etching. So shady cpu sellers would pull the cover off high speed cpus, and put them on slow speed cpus after overclocking them to unstable levels.
You could watch people return items, them tossing them into a bin, and then some employee later taking that bins straight back out to floor to restock. No shrink wrapping needed. Learning how to detect refried parts was crucial to shopping there. In SoCal, Frys was just a place to get a part quick. Reliable or quality parts required going to a place like MWave or wait for newegg to ship.
just win10 and firefox. It wanted to run workers in firefox, locked up firefox, then somehow taskmanager was locked up and things went downhill from there.
