I had a French press, loved it. But when it broke I bought an Aeropress Travel edition for $50 and I've had it 4 years now. Goes on long drives and camping trips. Bought a Jackery battery for my CPAP that's strong enough to run a small kettle, and now I can make a cup while checking out a view.

Coupled it with a Timemore S3 for quick, easy and quiet grinds.

Won't somebody think of the oxygen?!

Win-win, really.

Sure, but the US was still part of the anti-bribery pact until now.

Its also exceedingly hard for CBN to exit a contract quickly. Procurement cycles for things like printing money and DLID systems are years in length, generally two. CBN would need to wait for the next RFC cycle, and then simply not put in an offer.

They can't just exit a contract for these types of systems, it's not juice exports.

And if they kept doing business with a country taking bribes, they would lose their contracts in Canada, NZ, Australia and others. But those three are huge contract holders. It would kill CBNs business.

Well, it's a bit more complex than that. As a company that prints money, they are required to audit and vet countries before doing business with them, and terminating business with countries that accept bribes, because they print money.

They also do drivers licenses, passports, and border control systems.

Doing business with one nation that accepts bribes could cause the anullment of contracts from every nation they deal with.

If the US starts taking bribes officially via moves like this, CBN will have to exit the country.

Wonder if this means Canadian Bank Note will cease business with US State governments as there is a strong policy against doing business with countries that take bribes.

Yep, I just wanted to be specific about which AI named ADA I was talking about.

Strange. I never see that on Lineage, didn't see it on e/OS either.

I do recall that behaviour on Graphene, but its been a couple of years since I had a pixel. Figured that was just an old version of the app.

 

Title says it all. He sells Scrooge better than any other movie adaptation I've seen.

 

As the title says, I'm curious if they ever named or revisited this Human civilization in the later parts of the timeline in any way? It seems like too good of an opportunity to not revisit it at some point.

My searches did not reveal any answer, so thought I'd ask my fellow trek nerds.

 

Just had this one shared with me directly on signal and could not find it in here, nor could I find a source. Too good not to share though. If someone knows the meme creator I'll update this with proper credit.

 

Riker came down on a whole other deck and wants answers.
