Classic Conservative. All feelings of empathy begin and end at himself.

Can someone with a legal background explain to me how a law written before the state even existed is somehow considered more legitimate than current law?

Why do companies even buy ads in this space? There's so many spots in our society where ads are just being injected to play for nobody. At what point do they figure out that it's not worth the return on investment to put ads in those spots?

Not OP but I work in a similar environment (special heavy rail equipment). In our shop we have lots of tradesman: plumbers, mechanics, welders, electricians, etc.

Generally they are broken up into small teams, handed a set of prints, a kit of parts, and told to build the thing to the print. It's not like an assembly line where you're tightening one bolt all day, it's more like building different Erector sets all day and handing them off to the next team.

Low stakes, high pay, good benefits, regular hours, low monotony. If higher Ed is not for you, I'd look into something like this.

I'll only accept this if they march them across the Alps and sack Rome like they should have done the first time. 😤

Sometimes I have it re-write emails for me if I feel like my tone is off. Once in a blue moon I'll use an LLM to write a trivial AHK script. I also use AI art bots for throwaway character art for NPCs in my D&D campaign.

Beyond that, almost never.

Playing through 7 Days to Die for the first time with some friend and having a blast.

I've been following your journey with this and I feel for you. I have mystery GI problems too (not as bad though) and my experience is that it's nigh impossible to get a proper diagnosis for GI things because they all have the same batch of symptoms.

They threw the book at me, full colonoscopy, CAT scans, blood work, stool tests, etc. More than a year and $4000+ later the best I got was "Idk bro, good luck".

I wound up doing an elimination diet on my own and found what foods trigger my issues. No real diagnosis beyond blanket IBS though.

Hope you find your answers.

You're completely right. Many people are about to get totally financially ruined at a minimum. There's going to be a lot of climate refugees from these areas who've lost everything.

Insurance rates are the true Canary of Collapse. If the money men have calculated that certain areas are going to quickly become unlivable, then people should listen.

Of course it's not trivial to just pack up your life and move but it's about to become super necessary, unfortunately.

I'd pay for IMAX tickets to see Godzilla square up against the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

I see your thinly veiled Hanlon's Razor and counter with Clark's Law: “Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.”
