<p>Hope this is resolved.  I guess I could run linux in a VM and mount volumes there, but this is getting a bit dicey.  But Win 10 is my last windows anyway.</p>

<p>We can hope that they optimize the models.  I still think its going to be very hard for them to charge $100 or $200 a month at scale from many people, especially with AI "taking jobs".  To the extent that happens most of those people won't find replacement income.</p>

<p>On a pro account and tried to claim it yesterday (had to turn on extra usage).  First it wanted to bill me $50 - but the text entry for the amount only showed $5, slight bug there.  I closed that dialog and the settings showed a current balance of zero.  Looked at it again today and its the same.  So I guess I failed to claim it.</p>

<p>Used to love space stuff, although some of it was horrible (old enough to remember watching the challenger blow up on TV as a pre-teen).  Don't really understand this moon effort.  Space is uniquely hostile to humans, our tech just isn't ready IMO and probably won't be for 100 years.  Our personas certainly aren't ready - I can tolerate far more isolation than most people, I often go 1-2 weeks without any real human contact at all, routinely go days without speaking to anyone.  And yet the idea of living on a moon or mars colony gives me serious pause for the isolation it would involve.  Space station has a different problem in that i'd be wanting to push people out of the airlock after a few weeks, or eject myself that way.<p>Anyway this moon trip seems totally pointless.  I can get why other countries want to land there but for the US, moon expeditions have zero value, especially when we are burning so much money on stupid wars and and the same time cutting healthcare and food support for citizens.</p>

<p>Federal US government & to some extent local law enforcement.  They most likely won't be able to use them, but they will buy them and put them in a warehouse.  Long tradition of US government doing this with tech, going back to SGI workstations in the 90s if not earlier.</p>

<p>I don't have a real ID and don't plan to get one, but I also basically never fly anymore (been over 5 years).  However this is certainly further incentive for me not to fly - wonder if airlines will see a slight decline in travelers over next few years due to this.</p>

<p>We're well above 2% anyway, I doubt they will ever hit that again - they are already having to cut rates because job market is frozen, and that will increase inflation pressure.<p>I track my spend each year and my personal actual inflation rate has averaged about 4.5% over past 5 years.  And I'm pretty low income, my spending is all core stuff.</p>

<p>They can leak into higher wavelengths.  You are really putting a whole lot of trust in manufacturers if you are sitting underneath one of these for decades with unprotected eyes.  Not a risk I would take personally (I have glaucoma already, so I'm a bit more sensitive than the average person about eye health)</p>

<p>If you already had a relative with it (like a father) you need to check PSA more than every 10 years, and I personally think its not wise for any middle-aged man to wait that long between tests, considering PSA is just a blood test.<p>My Dad had PC at 65.  My older brother got a PSA test at age 41, was a bit over 1.0.  Waited 10 years before getting another PSA (his doc was telling him to get one but he didn't), then it was 14.  Had surgery, but its now metastatic.<p>There are also forms of PC that don't raise PSA, though they mostly affect non-caucasians.  A Urologist can do a physical test for it.  Primary docs can do that test too, but since they do it it less often they can miss it.</p>
