Just a reminder that once-upon-a-time when entertainment streaming services began, the idea was by paying a monthly fee, you could get ad-free streaming.
No longer: We've been Trojan-horsed. Now you pay a monthly fee but still have to watch ads, or you have to pay ANOTHER monthly fee to avoid them.

What is happening with California snowpack this year is an example of #climatechange: more extreme storms that bring rain and snow; too little snow compared to rain; and rapid loss of snowpack due to rising temperatures. Snowpack is just half of normal & melting far more quickly than average.

If you ask it for a plan to attack something, it will never respond "that's bad idea, don't do it."
