I think the important questions here are “will most people do this in 10 years?” And “will it be cheaper for companies to do this at that point?” Because if the answer to either of those questions is “yes”, then it’ll end up the norm and we may all have to do it whether we want to or not.
Wouldn't do this in a million years

Here's another report I led examining how the U.S. supports partners like Ukraine with our weapons stockpiles. We suggested a few ways DOD could do more to prepare to replace the stuff they're giving away. (Thankfully this is a short one) https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-25-107475

Maggie’s farm Rum distillery is about 5 minutes from our front door buried in the south hills of pittsburgh. For our anniversary, 30 bucks got us a cocktail, a tour of the facility, and a tasting flight with a free glass. Not too shabby (P.S the cocktails are incredible)

Good guys win.

I keep opening my wallet and praying this happens to me.
Also: not for nothing, but I found out today that I was already issued a REAL ID in 2021, thus saving me a trip to the DMV. It’s been a pretty good day.

Happy Sunday to everybody except for my wife, who is making me go to Kohls to return 38 separate things she bought on Amazon

Shout out to the raccoon or opossum that took all my leftover chicken wings from the trash bag in a targeted strike instead of ripping the bag to shreds to get at the goodies. Instead of a mess I was left with a small pile of very clean bones.

Every Kid is so different man. Jack used to be shocked that the pigeon wants to drive a bus in this book. Noah has never thought it was a bad idea to let the bird have a go.

Beijing has hosted the world’s first half-marathon where two-legged robots ran together with people.

Hailed as a “historic moment” by the Chinese government, the race came amid an intensifying tech rivalry between the U.S. and China.

I love Pittsburgh because I just got to the episode in “The Pitt” where a character mispronounces Wholey’s and I looked it up just to make sure and there is already a feature story on it from local TV news. Yinzers let nothing slide lmao m.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvb5...

Daycare just sent out an announcement with the headline “Urgent!” and when I opened up the email it was a reminder that tomorrow is “Camo
