Inflation has been falling for a couple years and is fairly low right now, though not as low as it was back when interest rates were zero.

The dollar has been fairly strong in recent years.

Inflation in 2022 was likely due to price gouging with companies like Exxon Mobil reporting record or near-record profits at that time.

By late 2022, companies had jacked up prices high enough that the demand curve had likely reached the “crossover” point. Since then prices and inflation have been falling back to normal.

I have used the Excel/Word/Keynote formats with iWork and it’s okay. MS Office is the de-facto standard format and recognized by Google Docs, OpenOffice, and of course MS Office.

I don’t think it’s a truly open format like ODF, but you can be sure it’ll be recognized everywhere for a long time.

Commenters were shut down by people repeating Boeing PR because THEY already knew the outcome.

Thanks to everyone who shut down speculation. You were right! They are 100% coming back on Starliner. There’s no question at all about safety, and the only reason they haven’t come back yet is because it’s a perfect opportunity to study the problem while Starliner is still in space.

That’s what the article said, right? /s

OP are you the author? I disagree with your rankings but enjoyed your commentary. You have good insights into intra-state social dynamics too. Thanks for posting.

Yep. Iconic and looks fantastic on almost any car.

This ranks California’s 10/10 design near the bottom and Texas’ 9.5/10 design way too low.

The blobby multicolored designs ranked highly here don’t look good on an actual car.

Plenty of adblocker extensions on iOS Safari.

For YouTube, I’d recommend Vinegar, although the more general adblockers will also work.

Your wish is granted.

As announced earlier key board members are also resigning.

Have they rotated the deck chairs on the Titanic, or is this a meaningful change?
