Reply to They serve beer at this Taco Bel by Natural-Army
Subject to local availability? Like... local to where you are standing and reading that sign, that they placed in the location they are presumably serving beer in?
That's confusing

Reply to Finding joists in ceiling by Stillwater215
Why are huge sections magnetic?
If it is magnetic in lines going all the way across the ceiling: you have drywall hanging on resilient channel. Great for soundproofing! Unlikely you actually have this. These can be used as your stud.
If it is a huge magnetic section about 16" or 24" across and goes along the entire ceiling (measure where the magnet holds and releases): this is a sheet metal joist cavity air return duct for your floor or the floor above. These are done by slapping some sheet metal between joists and calling it a return duct. If you suspect this is the case, measure the distance between where the magnet lets go and the edges are your joists.

Oil glut theory says we will absolutely see demand for oil critically drop well before 47 years, globally. A lot of measurements go into getting a reasonable figure. It's difficult to predict on a macro level.

Even the loss of the entry level is going to change today's society in profound ways, the same way entry level IT networking was bulldozed when the public cloud and software defined networking took over a major chunk of the bullshit parts of the job. Unfortunately, that created a gap where the lowest level networking people being hired were expected to have senior level experience (sound familiar?) which cut the legs out from under the industry leading to a talent gap that may never recover.
Do this in coding and where are you going to get senior devs? The pool will shrink and shrink and the only way out is to make the AI better.
Outside of IT, this is happening or will happen to the creative arts. Animation in-betweening will not be a thing. Rotoscoping is already VERY well handled by AI in many cases. These are all shit jobs but they are also ways to break into industries. Society does not yet have an answer on how these guys make a living, or how they professionally upskill to where the AI still can't deliver.

Reply to comment by kushal1509 in Solar power prices expected to decline 50% by 2050: Ajay Mathur - A decline in solar power prices will help in production of green hydrogen at reduced costs, said the director general of International Solar Alliance. by yourSAS
The easy argument is that the demand curve is going to sharply angle upward as a function of solar infra prices dropping vs utility prices increasing bring solar into reach for more people. Then it is a battle of supply & demand not only on manufacture but also skilled labor able to do it who are all already swamped with work today.

Reply to comment by GreatAndPowerfulNixy in Microsoft announces Adaptive Accessories will be available October 25, making PCs usable for anyone by MicroSofty88
The one thing that thaws my cold, jaded-by-corpos heart is Microsoft doesn't pay lip service to accessibility. It's the real deal and you can see it in games developed or published by them; it's eye-opening what issues so many people go through with all the options available to adjust the games. Things I wouldn't have even thought of like reducing screen shake or high-contrast mode.
