It'd be real funny and depressing if THIS is what brings about gun control in America.

Doing the Bojack "America hates women more then it loves guns" bit, but with CEOs.

That and the pentagon. IIRC there was an over representation of MIC companies in the trash centers as well.

"Insurance" is evil. It might work if it worked as people think it does (A loss occurs -> you get paid for it). But it can never work like that because even with many individuals paying into the system more then they'll ever get back, and even with their ability to invest whatever they haven't had to pay out, Capital must seek the greatest return. Pressure must be applied. Only a socialized insurance system will ever work close to the ideal. Everyone should want it, it would lower EVERYONE'S commitment, pay out more to those who need it, and be less likely to collapse itself every time anything major happened. But nope, instead mass social murder all so a few people can be millionaires.

Shocked there hasn't been ANY pushback from people on insurance. I haven't met anyone with a good experience. Even the most ideal experience came after the company paid out, AFTER legal action was threatened/taken. Everyone else has horror stories from death to living in poor conditions after a house fire. Insurance agents in general should consider themselves lucky there hasn't been more of this.

Whoever came up with the whole "blame literally anyone, but especially the Soviets/Russians" bit needs a prize. Its gotten literally over a century of use. Once you notice it, you see it fuckin' everywhere. It goes beyond any historical level of "foreigners bad" because it really is just used for literally anything. Advanced xenophobia I guess.

Maybe if libs broke out of it they could actually see results, but nope, RUSSIA, CHINA, CUBA! for any little thing, nope can't be anything else, can't be domestic, can't be our allies, can't even be random.

(Not a geologist warning)

Not the oldest, but a neat one: Banded iron formations. Probably formed because early life evolved photosynthesis, releasing large amounts of oxygen which precipitating iron out of the early oceans. Also "extinct" because the conditions for it to form probably will never exist on Earth again.

Stromatolites are somewhat similar. Refers to both current day living guys, and their ancient fossil ancestors. Both form layered mats and are some of the earliest fossils. I think there's earlier fossils but they're a good mix of old and decently large.

Adventurism aside, all "healthcare" CEOs deserve much worse. RIP bozo, hope whoever did it is cool, and if they are, they're never found.

Coders in the future: Oh Great Machine God, please procure me a set of Holy Codes to sort a list.

The terminal: Sorry, as an AI LLM, I cannot provide you with any code that may be under copyright. Instead, I can sort the list for you, but it will be inaccurate 50% of the time you ask me to.

Regular Expressions are pretty core to understanding further automata in the more math-y computer science. I sometimes have trouble making them, or fitting them to whatever weird scheme some program uses. But thats because I'm "ok" at programming and was just barely getting B/C's in computer science classes.

Just a massive self report of a post for that guy. Hell there's even tools that actually work and (if you're paying attention) will indirectly teach you to do it yourself. Just like a lot of things in programming. But nope, "AI".

I've talked with someone who works with rehab/long term care of unreleasable poss's.

Cat food is a common staple. They also get lots of veggies, a bit of fruit, and some yogurt. They also try to get them a few mice a week too. I guess metabolic bone disease (which is related to calcium I believe) is pretty common for them. Sadly, even the best care gets them to 3-5 years. Lovely little guys though.

I'd agree on the warfare, if it felt different. Right now it still feels off to me. You can (accidentally) do some weird things like build up the "start battle" bar and if you activate two armies at once, get two battles instead of 1. Annoying things like 60k troops vs 3k taking forever (and not in a guerilla war, because you end up in a traditional western battle at the end and roll them every time).

Its weird, but just thinking about it makes me want to go back lol. And yeah totally agree that the econ of HOI4 was usually the best part. It'd be neat if they just made an Anno style game or even something more abstract but 100% about logistics or something.

Qing runs reinforced in my mind that non-European powers had a nearly impossible position in the world (and most performed impressively given that), and that more strategy games need to focus on material goods. Trying to catch up with the massive goods deficit while also worrying about the Euros fucking you/India/Oceania/etc too much for you to have any shot at them was some of the most fun I've had in a strategy game in a long time.

Definitely don't like some of the mechanics both in the economy (goods having a max/min price and being buyable/sellable even when "all" of them are accounted for just doesn't feel right) and the military (not just everything anyone else has said, but armies randomly teleporting back to Beijing despite being previously stationed in Singapore/India/Africa). But worth grabbing on sale and pirating the DLC for sure.

They do the same thing, but can actually effect your life.

What the heck is Xi gonna do if he sees I drink coffee? Post about it? Biden could order me killed in a moments notice.

A literal rat could type up a more coherent sentence.

"I'm not going tonwaste time talking to somebody who thinks politicians can pick who endorses them"

The appropriate response to Cheney endorsing you is to publicly plan a new Nuremberg.

Lol I'd bet 90% of that is of equal quality to the code you get by measuring lines written.

Another 9% is likely stolen.

The final 1% won't even compile, doesn't work right, or needs so much work you'd be better off redoing it.

The only useful result I've had with CS is asking for VERY basic programs that I have to then check the quality of. Besides that, I had ONE question that I knew would be answered in a text book somewhere, but couldn't get a search hit about. (I think it was something about the most efficient way to insert or sort or something like that.)

Worked with it a bit at work and the output was so unreliable I gave up and took the best result it gave me and hard coded it so I could have something to show off. Left it as a "in the future..." thing and last I heard its still spinning in the weeds.

Excellent long-ish video: https://youtu.be/eUywI8YGy0Y

He has a follow up about induction woks. The short: Induction is just as good as if not better then gas for actually moving heat from the stovetop to your food.

I'm going to disengage from this and go clean up my brain. I hope you have a good day and weekend, comrade.

I called the use of insults/"jokes" of that caliper childish.
