Structural firefighting is hazardous, but if you can get out of the building the risk can be minimal. Wildland firefighting is orders of magnitude more hazardous. Wind-driven wildfires can travel at 60 mph (100 kph) or more, not only can't you outrun them it's unlikely you could escape in a vehicle (assuming you even had access to one) due to the terrain. Paying them minimum wage is an insult and should be illegal but that's the American Way.

We have a very limited view of the universe so it's no surprise that our theories are often wrong or incomplete. The beauty of science is that when a theory proves inadequate, it gets replaced with a more complete one.

Not a Christian but I can say with all certainty that she's definitely not tempting.

The only correct answer.

I'm not a doctor but he certainly seems neurodivergent based on his writing. It's hard to imagine him ever changing in some significant way and being "rehabilitated" enough to be allowed back into society, hence the "some evidence". It's might be best he remains in jail rather than be paroled.

He did mention the murder of his wife and said he would detail his regret to anyone who asked. The rest of the letter describes the "social mistakes" in dealing with co-workers and the Linux community. He even asks that those co-workers' names be added to the credits and his negative comments about them be deleted. There's no forgiving what he did to his wife but there's at least some evidence he's changed since that happened.

It would be having trouble if there was no hype.

It would be nice. At least we were able to make the best of the situation. It doesn’t seem like enough people are aware of this type of service. Even then, it still doesn’t mean the plans available to you will be affordable.
