I didn't know we need to regulate Elon Musk's platforms. Now I do!

Rather brave to believe that you'll have a product, an engineering departement, a marketing departement, a support departement or any employees in your startup.

That's probably a mark of an actually good programmer.

That's just being good at programming

Both parties are bad but the magnitude is totally different.

Might be a good idea to take a look at imdb episode ratings and just ignore all <7.5 episodes, unless the synopsis sounds interesting. Unless you have time to just watch everything of course.

Dax is the "soul", Jadzia or Curzon are the bodies. Thus it seems that the gender of Jadzia Dax / Curzon Dax is entirely defined (or perhaps not defined at all?) by the body Dax is residing in. Whereas trans people in real world believe in a gendered soul that is independent of the body they are in.... right?

But it's not like I oppose some other interpretation of it.

Is it so that there is usually no competition for health insurance providers in the US? I don't know that system too well.

Do you think of the fire department as “some sort of public insurance”?

Yes, it can be viewed as such! Things can be viewed from many angles. Another one that're not called insurance but kinda are, are flat prices for things whose price actually varies. Like electricity prices: they're often based on a spot price in an power exchange, so if you as a consumer choose to get a flat price, you're essentially paying a premium.

Insurance is a pretty great industry and good fit for markets if only there's healthy competition. If there's no fertile ground for competition, it's one signal that perhaps the public sector should handle that one.

Seems like a somewhat healthier race than corgi. Average age 15 years versus Corgi's 12 years 3 months.
