If the library owned an effectively infinite copies of each book why wouldn’t they let you borrow one copy of each book?

We have community college + low cost state colleges. CC is almost free, cheap state colleges probably will cause a little debt. Some part time job will probably offset most of this.

Completely free will be abused probably, let’s be honest

What about the right to refuse? I don’t think there actually is a problem here, there’s no reason for this Pharma company to provide an expensive untested drug- only potential negatives

I don’t think these people would be useful. Pharma needs controlled double blind studies to actually tell if the therapies work.

I wish more people were aware how much water goes to agriculture and would react accordingly when their government asks them to cut water usage or raises prices - 90% goes to (largely wasteful) farming and they don’t really pay…

It’s not the people taking 2 (gasp) showers a day fault, it’s the almond farmers using floors irrigation

Just note, if you take a look at the actual materials covered and single final assignment required for classes at WGU you will find they are a joke compared to what you find at standard universities (e.g. university of utah, Virginia tech,…)

No joke but I know of an Apple employee with a HS girlfriend (underaged). If you go to Berkeley CS you’d know.

And Blue Origin has forced ULA to fall back to using Russian rockets engines because their engine hasn’t been finished yet. ULA probably regrets using BE now.

Tires are more like the plastic rubber things on the bottom of the laptop. What you want is to upgrade the engine.
