  1. Looks like they are culling so they can bring in more Indians through the H1B program. Good bye American employees, have a nice life.
  2. Both Canada and Mexico are guilty of this. For years they would import products and do some light assembly and label it as Made in Canada or Mexico. Since Canada gives China Most Favored Nation status, importers can avoid duties and export into the USA since there is a Free Trade Agreement(NAFTA). It took a while for US Customs to crack down on this but it finally did and they now pay very close attention to where the origin of the item was. Unfortunately it went on long enough to destroy many American industries. Canada and Mexico made 100's of billions of these schemes at the USA's expense.
  3. On a tangent....I remember the only place you could get a coffee in Texas was Waffle House or Denny's. In the early 90's the DFW area didn't even know what an espresso was. Starbucks finally came around 1995 and it was such a joy. Now there are some amazing cafes serving amazing coffee, especially in college towns like Denton.
  4. I could have told you everything Snowden told you back in 2001. It was no secret that every phone call and every txt along with all your mail was being scanned and archived.

    Everything he revealed was already revealed years earlier, it's just no one really cared or was paying attention in 2000-2001.

  5. Did you forget about Edward Snowden?
  6. Jeffrey D. Sachs spent quite a lot of time in Moscow and many communist countries. He has a great affinity for them. He was on their payroll. To believe anything he writes would be no different than believing Putin himself.

    There is not one piece of evidence that "There were in fact two main U.S. provocations. The first was the U.S. intention to expand NATO to Ukraine and Georgia in order to surround Russia"

    This is a complete lie and Ukraine and Georgia were not even seeking NATO membership. He has absolutely no credibility and provides zero evidence for all his claims.

  7. We are one country, Europe is an entire continent of countries. You would think there would be one that would want my money.
  8. We used to travel to Europe and travel from country to country for an entire year. Now, we go to Europe and can spend no more than three months on the whole continent. I guess Iceland will be added to this. Why does Europe discourage long-term travelers from spending money there?
  9. The goal of the H1B program is to import cheap labor from India to replace US Technology workers. They become slaves here because of their status and corporations use them to replace American workers, especially college grads who are finding it very difficult to get a start.

    Go to any corporate campus and it is evident. Get rid of the H1B program and get rid of International student programs. America needs to focus on its people when it comes to education and employment.

  10. It sounds romantic until they cancel your train or it is hours late, missed transfers, dirty cabins, etc. It's all a crap shoot on whether you get a nice train and everything goes smoothly. I've traveled by train in Germany, Poland, Czechia, Austria, Hungary, Ukraine, etc.

    Driving your vehicle is the best way to go if you want to enjoy the sights on the way.

  11. The H1B program will be used to destroy the entire tech industry with desperate and cheap labor from India.

    University Graduates are not even given a chance, and I would discourage anyone from pursuing anything related to Programming and Development unless they have a Java Certificate or a degree from the University of Hyderabad.

    Entire corporations are using Indian labor to replace American workers. Just visit any corporate campus across the US and it is evident.

    Junk away....

  12. I had an awesome uncle when we were kids (70's). He was a mover and shaker, a real-life hustler, the kind of guy who carried around a stack of 100s with a rubber band around them. He wore a long fur coat with a black hat. He looked like Cramer in the episode of Seinfeld where he had the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Every Christmas Eve after dinner he would take me and my brother out to the movies. Good Times....Good Times....
  13. This is unfortunate.

    Was he the one who took over from the hardware guy who died during the Boot magazine era and then went on to Maximum PC?

  14. >his acquisition is concerning because Grammarly is well known for its bad privacy policy and how it's essentially a keylogger. Now that it has access to probably thousands of companies data hosted on Coda is a huge concern.

    And how does ChatGPT differ?

  15. Exciting times, these robots and AI could mean we are on the cusp of Androids. Would be great for everything from work, exploration, and war.

    I wonder if Elon plans to send 10's of 1000's to Mars ? They could build out the infrastructure and get it ready for human arrival.

  16. I imagine this is only a problem if one of your tires is low. It seems to reset itself in between trips and then takes a while to come back on. It's obviously not the TPMS Sensor in the wheel since it will be an over-the-air update. Pre 2007, vehicles didn't even require it.
  17. The Party is over....
