Well, there you go. Apparently to be hired as ICE, all you need is a pulse.
A few months ago, ICE hired me

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.
