Peace, love, and trash!

The rich can’t really take it with them. The threat that they’ll leave if you raise taxes doesn’t hold water, at least if the assets they hold are tied to where they live.

The ‘extroverted’ north and ‘introverted’ south: how climate and culture influence Iranian architecture
Architecture in the north is characterised by open structures; in the south buildings are oriented inward. The houses reflect their environment – and the role of women.The Conversation
Das Bild zeigt eine ruhige Landschaft bei Sonnenuntergang. Der Himmel ist in einem tiefen Blau gehalten, mit einem leuchtenden Sonnenuntergang, der sich am Horizont befindet. Die Sonne scheint als heller, orangefarbener Kreis zu leuchten, der den Himmel sanft erhellt. Im Vordergrund ist ein Feld mit Gras und Büschen zu sehen, die im Schatten liegen. Im Hintergrund erstrecken sich sanfte Hügel, die von dichter Vegetation bedeckt sind. Zwei kontrastierende weiße Flugzeugspuren durchziehen den Himmel, die von Flugzeugen hinterlassen wurden. Die Szene vermittelt eine friedliche und ruhige Atmosphäre, typisch für eine ländliche Umgebung bei Sonnenuntergang.

In the fight against COVID-19 and substance misuse, timely action is the best way to stop the spread of infection and drug overdoses. The LA County Department of Public Health is launching accessible kiosks throughout the County that will dispense COVID-19 test kits, overdose prevention products, and condoms to the public for free. These life-saving products will help LA County residents make informed decisions and take proactive steps to look after their health.

in reply to Visual Inspiration • • •Why do you send me on these away missions? I'm expensive. I'm the latest model. I cost 200K megacredits. Humans are basically free. They just get born. Push, push, push, and you've got a human. I saw a video.
Shut up Dexter. Just report what you find.
This place is dusty. I'm going to need a wash and polish when I get back.
Do you see any inhabitants?
No, but they're here. They're hiding. They've got all these ramshackle buildings. Looks like they had a war.
It looks like that from up here too. Maybe 50 planet orbits ago. They really messed themselves up.
Dang, they shot a projectile at me! They are going to get my chrome all dinged up. Can I blast them?
Negative. We want to help them.
Some are running away. Give chase?
Negative. That would be hostile. Remain in place. Try playing a song. Pretend you are the ice cream man.
Dah-Dah-Dah, Ding A-ling Dah. It's not working. Uh-oh, they've got a rocket launcher. Can I blast them?
Negative. Move forward slowly.
Ouch! They shot a projectile from behind. I'm going to have to get the detail guy to fix my chrome. I hit him with a neuroslick. He's down.
I told you not to . . .
It wasn't lethal! He's just in a lot of pain, that's all.
We are trying to help them! We've got to make friends!
Yeah, but my chrome! He deserved it, the dirty biological! Besides, they all went back into hiding. They got the message.
Eject the gifts now. The little TVs and the music players.
OK, but they will probably think they are weapons.
Whose fault is that, Dexter?
Gifts ejected. No one is coming out to get them though. Oh, they threw a net over me, the dirty biologicals!
Dexter, remind me to update your diplomacy module.
Ack, this net is tough. My lasers can cut it, but it's slow going. They got the rocket launcher out again. Can I blast them? Their tech is a little better than we thought. I'm a little worried.
OK, Dexter. Save yourself. We'll try again later. Next time we will send a human team.
I told you so. Humans are cheaper!
