When you look at who the rest of Louisiana voted for, they don't even want to preserve New Orleans. They're literally terrified of it and were elected on the promise to subjugate it.
Most of my family is there, and I spent much of my childhood there. I have the same feeling as you. It’s such a beautiful, unique place, and I don’t think the locals will ever abandon it. City park with those beautiful oak trees will always be one of my favorite places on earth.
They own at least 74 different web hosting companies and are buying more brands all the time. They want to own a large percentage of this field at least.
AI gets better with more resources. Even if you have access to the software/models, those with more money to throw at better hardware (and the cost associated with running it) will be better positioned.
At the moment being important. Previous day it was higher at 38.8% but only for that 15min. As a percent of the whole day it’s much much lower. (California goes to 110% in the middle of the by comparison). It’s a good upward trend, I’m confident Texas will get there eventually.
The hubris of buying a domain to loudly demonstrate that you don't understand the complexities of a topic. And then you don't even put your name on it...
> having their literacy degenerate to such an extent that they stop using alphabetic / phonetic writing systems and revert to pictographic or ideographic systems
What about reverting to referencing moving pictures?
Or was this intended to be self-referential and I missed the joke? :)
The absolute newest Mac in my home is a 2017 and is limited to 13.7.8, also. It's still a beast, and I've never really thought of it as "old." The macOS (and iOS) ecosystem, though, is brutal on us "slightly older" hardware owners. We get dropped so quickly, by both Apple and by 3rd party developers.
Windows developers would think nothing of keeping their applications running on Windows 7 (16 years old) or Windows 10 (11 years old), but my 9 year old Mac is somehow ancient.
Subtle bugs always find their way in increasing amounts for Windows applications that continue getting software releases; we tend not notice because we all run actually supported versions most of the time, and even when we dont- its only for a year.
I see people on youtube trying to make “modern desktop” experiences on Windows 7 and 8; and it takes some serious doing with all the incompatibility with things like browsers. Dialogues about missing features crashing you to desktop more often than working.
So much so that there are dedicated forks of chrome and firefox to support this purpose.
Unless you’ve been hitting the gym hard enough to bench-press a sedan, you’ll definitely want to drive.
While 50 meters is a very short distance—roughly the length of an Olympic swimming pool—it’s a bit difficult to wash a car that isn't actually at the car wash.
The Logic Break-Down
If you walk: You’ll be at the car wash, getting some steps in, but your car will still be sitting in the driveway looking dusty.
If you drive: Both you and the vehicle arrive at the destination, which is generally a prerequisite for the "washing" part of the plan.
One exception: If you are just walking over to buy cleaning supplies or to see if there's a long line before pulling the car out, then walking is the way to go!
Would you like me to check the local weather for you to make sure it's not going to rain right after you finish?
At 50 meters, driving is usually slower overall (start car, back out, pull in), adds unnecessary engine wear (cold start/short trip), increases minor risk in a parking lot/driveway, and you’ll have to park again anyway.
Drive only if there’s a practical constraint like:
you need to bring heavy items (bucket/cleaning kit) and can’t carry them,
What they really want to preserve is stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/live/mHljI5JbnTM?si=dReL9sZKiqtNlvpr...
