Bullshit. We all eat Ted's Fish Fry up here.

Yeah, I saw that $30k for a car and immediately dismissed everything this person said. I've never in my life paid more than $8k for a vehicle.

I booted up KotOR on a whim last week, started the character creator, said "Oh, that's right. This was based on 3E rules," and promptly noped out. I don't have the time or patience to relearn 3E's complexity.

So what's going to happen when Trump vetoes this?

Anna and the Apocalypse is pulling holiday double-duty. It's a zombie survival musical set in the days before a school's Christmas break. Insanely ambitious genre-bash, especially for the shoestring budget it was produced on, but a very fun way to kill 90 minutes.

Scrooged is undeniably more a Christmas movie than a Halloween movie, but it's got some great spooky vibes. Especially with their portrayal of the Ghost of Christmas Future.

It'd likely require a different statute. Like how running a red light is a different penalty if the driver is pulled over by a cop versus the vehicle owner being caught by a stoplight camera.

Absolutely this. The American Cancer Association advises it is best not to drink alcohol. Alcohol use accounts for 5% of all cancers in the US.

So it's a known carcinogen that also impairs judgements and motor functions, causes brain damage, and is habit forming. Just because it's been socialized to be acceptable doesn't mean it's not deadly.

Hahaha. So many people outside of logistics have no idea how logistics works.

I can only speak for the US, but I am confident that anyone who gets into trucking now will be able to retire from trucking when they hit 65. (Assuming we're not all already dead from war or climate collapse.)

Big LTL companies like UPS or FedEx will probably be able to automate standard pallet hub-to-hub shipments. Per this article, final mile delivery for small parcels can probably be automated. So that just leaves... most freight?

Smaller shippers and receivers, including regional carriers or smaller manufacturers, are still running their logistics like it's 1970. They don't have the capital or any real incentive to modernize to a standard that would be needed for fully automated logistics. There would need to be funded government mandates and extensive infrastructure work across the country.

People can be blind and deaf from birth and still live fulfilling lives. They need more support, for sure, and not getting that support can be devastating. But I think if you give a disabled person a choice between adequate help or euthanasia, most would pick help.

Warner Herzog made a really interesting documentary about deaf-blind people back in the '70s, called Land of Silence and Darkness. Some of it is heartbreaking, for sure, but most of it is pretty uplifting.

tells the true story of a downed airman in occupied France and how he got involved with the French Resistance

My grandfather went through this exact circumstance. The French Resistance helped him get to a secret camp full of British and American soldiers, and they spent most of the war hiding in the countryside and digging little holes so they could play mini-golf with hand-carved clubs.

Do we think these payment processors are running their own call centers? Seems more likely that they're contracting the work out, and those firms just aren't going to get their contracts renewed.

My company instituted "Wellbeing Days." They marked three days throughout the year on everyone's calendar and said you should avoid answering calls or attending meetings on those days, instead focusing on personal reflection and development.

... so I stayed home and focused on developing my Elden Ring skills.
