Etiquette expects that when you do a nice thing for someone you gain nothing more than a “Thank you” in return.
You can’t do “Pay-it-forward” as that places a burden on the recipient and your ‘gift given freely’ then becomes a task to them. Which is no gift at all!

You’re good with tech and know they can save some money. If they don’t care about tech, and aren’t hurting for money, you’re just being annoying.
Had the same convo with my mom. That’s where the annoying line came from! She likes what she has and can afford it.
Now my sister ima boot in the head because she cancelled my mom’s landline for a cheaper cell plan. So now, oh…about 80% of the time I try to call mom her phone rings right into voicemail because she forgot to plug it in!
I wish more people would realize this! We’re years away from a truly reasoning computer.
Right now it’s all mimicry. Mimicry that hallucinates no less…
How would that support “First Sale Doctrine”?
Your answer was concise and succinct, for such a complicated topic. Thank you!

It’s that t-229 can have its nucleus excited using far less energy than regular atomic clock nuclei.
That leads to ultra precise excitation using wavelengths that cancel out some of the fundamental forces within the atom.
That leads to us being able to monitor at a trillion to one ratio those forces based, in part, on mathematical ‘constants.’ In the excited state we can measure if there’s even the smallest variance in force, which in turn may mean that some ‘constants,’ aren’t.
However the real testing of that is in the future as they estimate that a 10 trillion to one ratio is needed.
Theory described a door, research defined the door and possibly what’s behind it, and experimentation just opened the door.

Altercation at Arlington National Cemetery
WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s campaign was warned about not taking photographs before an altercation at Arlington National Cemetery during a wreath-laying ceremony earlier this week to honor service members killed in the Afghanistan War withdrawal, a defense official told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
I read that last election he started campaigning the day after he lost. He’ll do the same thing this time just to keep the grift going.
Plus he’s had how many delays handed to him because he’s a political candidate? He’ll probably pass away as a political candidate just to keep those two things in his grasp.
