  • I’m not sure how much of this has changed since I was a kid, but when I was in high school we had 4 years of Spanish and French, but only one year of either one was mandatory. Most kids in my school ended up just taking a year of Spanish as a freshman, and only those who actually wanted to learn another language elected for the remaining years.









  • We haven’t gone back because there isn’t a reason to. There’s little new to test that we can’t otherwise test in simulated moon gravity, and no real discernable resources worth harvesting. We can’t stay long-term yet, so any and every trip is expensive as hell for a very short visit. It’s close enough that we can use optics to observe it in detail, and many types of scans can also be done from planetside. Going back right now takes a lot of money, a lot of risk, and there’s little reward to be had. We’ll go back when we’re ready to settle for longer periods of time.


  • Instacart is being miserly by not paying their workers a fair wage.

    Instacart is paying their workers fairly. It’s just that the driver is not an Instacart worker.

    They’re not employees, they’re contractors. And when you, the customer, place an order, they are now your worker as you’ve entered into a contract with this person. They aren’t working for Instacart or the store, they’re working for you. And you’re the one who pays for their time and labor, that all comes out of the service charges on your order.

    That’s how all these apps work. They don’t get paid anything by the app, they get paid by you through the app.





  • Been playing a lot of The Finals lately. Normally my time would be spent in Destiny 2, but the current D2 season is gonna last for a looooong time, so I’m not in any hurry to grind it out just yet. But The Finals has absolutely blown me away so far. It can be buggy and unbalanced at times, but it’s so damn fun. Demolishing an entire building to bury the cashout station in rubble and prevent a steal is so satisfying.

    Embark has also recently said that they’ve got a lot of updates in the works, so I’m really excited to see how Season 2 plays out.
