Private office spaces can and do exactly that as long as it complies with the various privacy and biometrics laws out there. MIT is a private university.

I don’t say this as someone who is in favor of that sort of thing beyond a certain point.

Technically the university could literally send a real human to follow you around while you’re inside their buildings. Your professor actually kind of sort of does that while you’re in class and even bases your grades on your behavior, and can report code of conduct violations.

Obviously kids want some sort of communication platform. I did at their age, and I didn't want my parents able to immediatly look up everything I ever said, no matter how innocent.

To me this is like meeting up with people in a crowded square to chat. It's not private chat really, but nobody will track it if they simply don't know where to look and aren't looking.

People outside of prison have freedom of movement to avoid overheating and access to a variety of enviroments and cold drinks and personal fans.

Some times people walk into supermarkets just to cool down.

I would be fine with that, but I don't think it would be quite as effective as you think. I don't like hurting even bugs for no reason but still grew up eating our own raised cows and hunted meat and still do to this day. Atleast half of that I had a personal hand in the entire slaughtering and packing.

If anybody has even the smallest negative thought to eating meat these days, the very first internet search they do will bombard them with pictures of slaughter houses in the most negative light and animal abuse pictures. If that doesn't stop them eating meat itself, very few are going to be turned by a legit farming and slaughter practises.

My sister is vegan and it wasn't our slaughtering of animals that pushed her away from eating meat, it was the internet showing the worst of large corporate practises. For a long while she merely didn't eat corporate meat and only local or home grown or hunted meat.

If they get the fluid changed on time and drive like a granny I don't think they are that bad. But a lot of people overlook/skip the cvt fluid change and others drive them hard because "Wow CVT can pull pretty hard!"

I know atleast one dealership that never even mentioned a cvt fluid change despite the schedule for it being only 1000 miles away, but it was the last service before being paid off and if you don't come back and replace it on yoir own dime thats a potential new sale in 2 years.

The CVT is a steel belt though so that fluid should be replaced sooner rather than later because metal particles build up in oil. And at some point its not far from throwing a handful of sand inside of it and it will eat itself alive.

Just make sure that belt gets changed on time if not a bit before. Its unpopular because if that belt breaks before replacement the motor will self destruct and you can't put off the not insignificant cost of it.

Now interference engines detonating when the timing belt breaks isn't new, but putting a belt in a bath of dirty and burnt oil that makes it a mess and expensive to replace and basically impossible to inspect is pretty silly. A chain would not have had such problems and become an efficiency and running issue from a stretched chain instead of sudden and catastrophic failure of a broken belt.

It also has the problem of rubber belt pieced clogging up the oil system.

Its fine for people that get all the regular maintence and oil changes strictly on time. But not everyone does it so diligently. And if you buy it as a random used car you have no way of really knowing how good that belt is without a list of every oil and belt change and how hard they drove it.

It certainly wouldn't help them but I don't know anybody in Michigan that isn't a c-suite that really cares that much about someone not buying American cars anymore. Most mechanics will tell you to buy a Toyota or Honda here. In the UP half of the cars are Subarus. The majority of automanufacturing has long ago left and nobody is happy about the quality of big 3 brands.

30 years ago I would have agreed, but most Michigan buyers at best begrudgingly buy American now.

AI may be good for programming and basic facts, but many useful things are hidden behind many layers of slop that you might not know you need to wade through if you are ignorant on the actual topic. It will easily give you Topic 101 information and facts, it will start using Topic 201 material if you ask questions, it will use Topic 301 material mostly only when you use the 301 keywords to get the AI on that level. Beyond that, even if it has the information, good luck actually using it or finding it without already knowing about it and how to reference it. And 100-200 level topic information is just enough to make someone think they get it but then fuck shit up and not understand why.

If you just hand off learning the lower level knowledge to AI, once people get to needing higher levels they will get lost.

Were those problems actually the cause of unions though? The entire time period was a downturn and unions seem to be used as the scapegoat for any and every economic ill.

Civilian owned guns are suppressing free speech? Because the 2nd amendment has nothing to do with police or government agencies.
