You have to assume that anything that could be damaged by falling ice is already long gone (except people and pets)
I hope you've already learned not to walk too close under eaves and overhangs

Same here, went on hundreds of rides when you could get a Prius for $5.25/hour and they were everywhere
But do cards not still work? I tried the app like twice when my first card wore out, decided hell no, and got a new card, which didn't do the photo thing. Haven't used it in a year though

This was Boston mayor Kevin White's style, and it got him enormous support despite being not much of a people-person.
If the fire department was called out to a house fire, excellent chance White would be there checking on people

Ah, then right. They seem to be good enough though, I see a tailgater probably once a week but I've never seen anyone go over the top. I certainly wouldn't try it.

In Boston every station has at least one gate that's wheelchair-width, apparently always at one end or the other. Also handy for bikes. No gate agent required, since most of them are unattended.

If you ever do a prequel and recreate the conversation that BIL had with the rice wholesaler, that created a 1000x misunderstanding, it would be awesome

Even if people didn't want SVB's product, some insurance companies have "excess deposit insurance" which covers losses due to bank defaults beyond the FDIC limits. Some banks in MA advertise they do this for all their accounts
The bailout was a subsidy for free-riders.

I'm surprised the list doesn't include the Hubble mirror curvature problem. The COSTAR (corrective optics) fix for this cost something like $50M

Back in the '70s and '80s, AI included machine vision, games playing (particularly chess), planning, and other rules-based systems that were thought to be distinct, but machine learning mostly absorbed them all

Agreed. (I ran wide-format output for a University Architecture department for a couple of decades.) If your total print budget for the past few years isn't at least $20K or so, you're better off outsourcing it.
Granted I could rave about HP Pagewide printers if you have $35K to drop, plus service
