Do you ever consider driving to New Haven and taking Metro North the rest of the way? IIRC it's as fast as Amtrak if you're on the Super Express train.
I have considered it. I’ve never done it. Parking used to be an issue for some of the commuter rail stations but I understand it isn’t in New Haven at this point. Also about twice as long a drive but likely more efficient overall.
Since they have a mandatory retirement age of 56 (if they're not retired earlier for health conditions) it's not crazy to have an age cutoff for intake. Why put someone through a 2 year training with a high failure rate if after they make it through all of that you'll get at most 10 years of work out of them?

This is all hypothetical of course but the logical eastern border of an independent state centered in what's now California would be near Denver for precisely this reason.
White-labeling may be slightly dishonest to the consumer but the manufacturer and distributor are honest with each other. That doesn't appear to be the case here (Kimi's license requires publicly acknowledging Kimi is used for anyone operating at Cursor's scale).
If you go backpacking in the Sierra Nevada (or other mountains, surely) you may just run into a mule train carrying a trail maintenance crew and their gear.
Last year a friend of mine told me that one of the principal dividing lines in American politics is whether one can correctly answer who the president was in 2020 and 2008. They weren't wrong.
It's a really weird thing. I think the very strong negative emotions about COVID were simply naturally transferred over to Biden because he was a political enemy.
I think this is a dangerous reactionary mindset. When someone starts viewing their political enemies as the source of all evils it's very hard to have any sort of civil discourse.
