There is always a small audience who responds to this type of message, most likely outside a first world country. The problem is that they spam broadcast to everyone, of which 99.99% laughs at it and ignores it. Those who do respond are vulnerable to the scam.

Some rings promise good wages overseas, and when people buy in to the scam they end up enslaved in a warehouse overseas.

This is a low cost spam message to find more victims to fill the overseas jails filled with workers committing high tech crimes.

Honestly, the first mistake was a rookie mistake, to trust the dealer on maintenance. The dealer is always a vampire. The only reason to go to the dealer is when your trusted local repair garage recommends it when they do not have a real solution to the problem.

Good thing your friend never went back to the dealer.

I’m not familiar with this points system, but it has a bad smell of monopoly changing of the rule.

The real world application fields convert these theories into smaller easier to understand rules that you can hold, touch, taste, and smell. A microchip groups a ton of sub micro scale components working together as a factory to produce a device that is used to make another device , etc. Each one of those sub scale components was meticulously designed to work in a certain way using well understood rules. We likely do not have the understanding of lower level quantum-ish magic that makes it work, but we do know how to build real things with our simpler rules.

LOL. Playboy magazine. 70% was real articles. When you weren’t pooping you wood use the other 15%.

Wow, I forgot it came out in 1999, I guess, technically. It’s one of my favorite movies ever of all time, but it was too far ahead of its time for me to think of it as 90s movie.

I dunno. Maybe he’s asking you to feed him after Midnight. Good Luck.

Sorry to spoil the story, one of those is heavily photoshopped…, I mean AI…ed.

Maybe the elevated brain energy along with the will to survive or to avoid imminent death might coerce other areas of the brain to align with survival.

Nice. I haven’t laughed that hard in a while.

My mistake, yes one million.

Tell her a fun fact, in your best science teacher tone. It takes one billion microseconds to get to one second. Hopefully she can run with this and ask more questions.

Too soon: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

By whom ? The wage stealing management pimps ? I know I had to fight to get my pay hours to match my actual work hours.

Newer heat pumps are awesome. Northeast USA, with EcoEr brand. Two winters now close to single digits but rarely below freezing and it works like a charm. Mine is rated to operate to -40f. They had to wire it up for single heat source mode, by default they were wired for secondary heat source on the older models. Humidifier module can be added for winter comfort, my neighbor has that. Not sure what the cost tradeoff vs gas is, but it is definitely way cheaper than oil, which is what we replaced. What I like the most about it is that I can wave my two middle fingers at the oil industry and say hello to solar energy.

Summer cooling feels like Arctic cold, and comes with built in dehumidifier for comfort. It definitely works harder to heat in winter than cooling in the summer.

There are mini splits which require less construction, lower cost, with good cooling, but winter heat operating temp stops near 30f.

There’s lots of options out there depending on where you live , budget, needs.

Good luck !

There are two movies in there

Thank you for posting this. That was one of my favorite games growing up, I thought I was the only one left who remembered it. That mechanic was genius, switching between both parallel worlds and making changes that affected both so that both stories could progress. It must have been conceptualized by a student of physics who wanted to hold and feel the multiple parallel universe theory. That game alone had to have inspired its generation into science.

Better than movies, read Phillip k dick stories. So many of them became movies. Minority Report (2002) was a decent adaptation. Paycheck is truly great story, but terrible movie. A Little Something For Us Temponauts has not been ruined by hollywood yet. Its a really good time travel story.
