Good luck seeing the game then. "No return ticket? That's suspicious, you won't be allowed to enter."

Isn't this just what AI is the greatest tool of all time for? At least, so I'm told by the AIvangelists.

I'm very reluctant helping people out, especially with computers. It stems from my mother, I used to fix her computer, and whenever it wasn't working afterwards "it ins't working right since you did somethin on it". At some point I told my (and my wife's) parents that they'd be better of with an Ipad. They just work, and when they don't, I don't have a clue since I don't know shit about them.

It's because men can't be sluts according to (certain parts of) society.

There's a Scooby Doo spoof starring Bree Olson where everyone fucks, except for Scooby who is for some reason missing from the cast.
- Comment on Confirmed - Electronic Arts (EA) sold off to investors including Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund 1 week ago:
I don't get why the Saudis are working with Jared on this, since he's the guy who said the Gaza strip should be developed as premium beach front property after the Palestinians are relocated. Sure, the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Palestine is complicated, but really?
- Comment on Which career to pursue? 1 week ago:
I went to trade school in the late eighties/ early nineties to become a plumber. When I finished school in 91 there were no jobs for plumbers, so I did extra schooling to be an electrician. Still could't find a non temp job, so in 96 it was working in a chemical plant as an operator, and studying to eventually get a degree in chemical engineering.
All this just to say that the job market can't be predicted. Working in the trades is great, if the jobs are available. Unfortunately, they usually are among the first jobs to disappear when the job market goes a bit slower.
- Comment on Which career to pursue? 1 week ago:
I'd advise chemical engineering, guess what degree I got. But besides my bias, CE is a very broad education subject, so no deep dive into math beyond calculus. Also, like another poster pointed out, lots of people end up working in a different field, so the broad education helps there too.

Also, for the maximum age they are the younger one. So assuming age is 30, substract 7 and multiply the outcome by 2, maximum date age is 46...

- Comment on Know your place 3 weeks ago:
Yup, but it's not felt like, it's how much time really passed for you.
Another one I've always liked; suppose two people (or space ships, whatever) are together in the empty space between galaxies. One of you gets a boost from an external actor, and travels 10 lightyears away at the speed of light. After that, the other one gets the same boost and joins the first. So for both, ten years have passed. But, without an external reference, there is no way to know which one moved first.
- Comment on Know your place 3 weeks ago:
If you could travel at the speed of light, the only tim it would take you is the time spent speedign up and slowing down. Traveling at the speed of light stops the time for you.

More like living in a place where it can be impossible to cross a short distance on foot when it wouldn't be impossible to add a walking path.

reduce our plastic consumption
I'd love to actually, but most plastics get pushed on me in the form of packaging. I don't need a six pack of beer all wrapped up in plastic. I don't need bolts and nuts "conveniently" packaged per five.

Good to hear, especially the HBP and HC being treated. My previous doctor just shrugged off my HBC at the time (2010-ish), but it should have been treated in hindsight.

Hello fellow 49-er! Just a fyi, if this just started out of the blue one day, get your heart checked. I had the same for about a year, but after a heart attack early last year I can sleep trough the night again. I still wake up occasionally to piss, but not every night anymore.
