What, you'd rather live next to a coal mine? The data centers are going to need power no matter where you build them. If you build them near a city, you get more qualified workers living nearby. Build them near a power plant and you need less cable.

Men and women instinctively value each other for their ability to be _unlike_ the other gender. Gender ambiguity is a major obstacle to reproduction, so even animals find it unsettling. Biological gender evolved for a practical reason. You aren't going to change that with a few snarky paintings.

BTW, beautiful colors. They remind me of how Dan used to do them. There is something unique about how the cool and warm colors invert their usual roles - I don't really understand it.

It looks like fairy magic is feared and not well understood in this world. Can fairies swap someone else's mind into the body of the king? Or just mind control the elite in other destructive ways? Any taint of fairy magic might weaken an heirs claim to the throne, and allow usurpers to rebel.

RE dan's concern: I understood the intent right away and thought it was fine. Raven is honestly justified about how complex Ellen having a child could become. If you have princes and castles and heirs, you must also have medieval ideas of marriage and fidelity and who is allowed to be king/queen.

Language does this to "evolution" as well. As if evolution is some guy that goes around selecting things he likes and killing all the nice animals in favor of the jerks.

True. At my old job I could go by bicycle twice as fast as by bus. (45min vrs 75 min.). Time is worth a lot, and time on a bus is hard to use constructively, even with a phone.

Because of course the IRS knows better than you how your job works. The last time I dealt with them they didn't know how Uber worked and thought I was a taxi driver. That was like three years ago.

Many things are successful _despite_ their flaws. But if you don't understand them, you might duplicate the flaws while ignoring the real reason for success.
I'm told that Steve Jobs could be a complete A$3013 sometimes, and alienated a lot of skillful people. Did he succeed because, or despite..?

I meant to say that any specific stock price can't be "amazing" because any company can achieve that by doing a reverse stock split. Knowing that a stock had a different value before (split adjusted) would be meaningful.
