It’s from “Life of Brian”, and somewhat related to Jewish identity. Here’s the referenced scene - recommend the whole movie if you’ve never seen it.

Good for Steven and Stephen, and wish them every happiness.

I’m Brian, and so is my wife.

Look up the definition of ignorant.

At this point, I’m just so sick of every little thing being a huge struggle

Suffering is inevitable. This is the first noble truth in Buddhism. Troubleshooting Linux is Tao.

Thanks for the additional info. Sorry - that article I posted was not very well researched - I should have looked for something better, but was just making a point that inequity is still a big problem in a “prosperous” Mexico.

I appreciate you also confirming that working conditions in maquiladoras are accountable to some decent standards, and that they provide additional benefits - overtime pay rates being one of them, which is encouraging to hear - I wonder if that was due to labor unions or not.

Clearly, they are better places to work than many other local options. So for sure, not everything about maquiladoras is negative - and they are certainly not the root cause of disparity in North America. Thanks again for correcting the perception I might have given with that article.

Rupert Murdoch is Australian and still owns a great deal - possibly most - of the popular media. The beaches are nice though.

The primary use case is for making sure kids and elderly loved ones are brushing their teeth and keeping the brush charged. Also supposedly senses if all teeth are being properly cleaned, although based on reviews that sounds like a stretch. But yeah, the aggregated data is probably marketable somehow - I didn’t check their privacy policies.

Electric toothbrushes are a thing. It’s understandable that the vendors would like a rationale to track usage. Not beyond the bounds of possibility that in ten years it may be impossible to buy an electric toothbrush that doesn’t track usage and try to phone home to report it.
