I'd suggest you decide on this before you decide if you are going to fire a concealed carry weapon, because it's far more likely this will come up than you ever getting to be the "good guy with a gun"

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

I'm sure lots of other people have said this, but if I worked for a company on a product that I thought had a >10% chance of killing all humans within the next decade and we had no plan for how to stop it, I would quit and devote myself full time to destroying this product.

If you made software not intended to kill everyone and now you think it might kill everyone that sounds like a product liability issue. You should go fix it and stop bothering me

My current strongest argument against this being a simulation is that there's nobody that I have heard of trying to "air bud" the 6th amendment into a way to find out if McConnell is dead or not.

[Hank Hill holding tongs and talking to Bobby]
"There's a *King of the Hill* episode where Hank loses his job after Mega Lo Mart starts selling propane. During the episode Hank complains that he applied to 40 jobs and did not get a single call back.

This was considered a comically absurd number in 1998."

I used to work at Delta Faucet Company. It literally took someone falling head first into the highly acidic and toxic plating bath (and losing the lawsuit from said event) for them to add a railing and grate system above so people couldn't fall in.

I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

I've been working on a LOT of things for the new curling club that I'm helping out to build out. This is the current version of my ergonomic pebble wand. The goal: to have a pistol grip instead of the typical French grip style so I can reduce grip exhaustion issues and have more control.

It's amazing that nobody will understand this: They don't think. They don't remember. They have no cognition. They're pattern matching systems that produce answer-shaped responses. This is no different that giving a script admin privileges, except this script is rewritten on the fly.

For the second project going on right now. I have decided to expand my fabric arts capabilities with a loom. Which is finally assembled and ready for warping my first project once the yarn arrives. Hop in friends we 2D printing over here now!!

After seeing the prices for some of them I spent a little time the last day or two working on modeling a prototype for some ring temples for a loom in Blender. There are a couple issues right now where I need to work on the printability of the models. But overall, I am pretty impressed for now.

The panels alternate between Dr. Bashir (a light skinned human male with short, dark hair, close and high on his head, wearing a star fleet uniform) and Garak (a Cardassian male, light skinned humanoid with slightly reptilian skin)
Panel 1:
Bashir: so, you believe all stories are political?
Panel 2:
Garak: yes, of course
Panel 3:
B: even the stories that are trying not to be political?
Panel 4:
G: ESPECIALLY the stories that are trying not to be political.

Absolutely beat. We finished our last learn to curl even tonight. Of our 11 total nights of teaching people to curl I volunteered at 7 of them. Teaching on average 6 people per session across 17 sessions how to safely throw stones, sweep, calculate score, have a good time on the ice and broom stack.
