- Comment on Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there? 4 days ago:
In the case of musk and his billionaire friends, they just want to escape the consequences of their actions and become above the law. Basically they want to be a king, with no laws restraining them.

Short answer is no, they can’t keep this up.
The larger question is why the recruitment problem?

It’s the BBC, at this point, you have to assume they did it on purpose.

This post looks like it was written by an ai that had a stroke.
- Comment on Was it ever released intelligence why Clinton bombed an Asprin factory besides just trying to kill Bin Laden? 2 weeks ago:
“U.S. intelligence wrongly suggested financial ties between the al-Shifa plant, which produced over half of Sudan’s pharmaceuticals, and Osama bin Laden; a soil sample collected from al-Shifa allegedly contained a chemical used in VX nerve gas manufacturing. Suspecting that al-Shifa was linked to, and producing chemical weapons for, bin Laden and his al-Qaeda network, the U.S. destroyed the facility with cruise missiles, killing or wounding 11 Sudanese. The strike on al-Shifa proved controversial; after the attacks, the U.S. evidence and rationale were criticized as faulty, and academics Max Taylor and Mohamed Elbushra cite “a broad acceptance that this plant was not involved in the production of any chemical weapons”

- Comment on Why weren't telephone lines and electrical lines not buried under ground? Which would have saved a bunch of money from upkeep and accidents? 2 weeks ago:
In areas prone to severe weather they tend to get buried.
Especially after multiple event trash pole mounted ones.
I use to live in Huntsville Alabama. Between the tornadoes and ice storms Huntsville utilities just gave up and started burying them.

Okay, I’m in.
Are they ceramic or cast iron? I’ve got some Le Creuset, but mine is enameled cast iron.
Edit: premium stoneware.

- Comment on "Feminist icon" Gloria Steinem was a CIA operative. Steinem ran CIA fronts to keep activists focused on gender and identity politics, instead of class war. 3 weeks ago:
Never really liked her vibe. Always seemed kind of fake.
So I’m not really shocked.

- Comment on I want to make a seafood boil but don't want to boil all the flavour away in a vat of water, would it turn out alright if I simmered it all in a bit of butter and old bay, spoon basting often. 3 weeks ago:
Worked fine for me. But i use waterfox and ublock origin.
- Comment on We are all Just Stop Oil now: Mass arrest outside Burnham’s first PMQs 3 weeks ago:
If you want to have some fun, ask any of the AI how it went. And they will tell you what a wonderful job he did and never report on the protests or arrest.
Ai are not there to help, they are there to censor and control the population.

maybe consider a braise instead of a boil.

Okay, you are obviously just a troll. I’m done here.

And you would mistaken about “level of lifestyle’.
They are not country club set. They are in danger of dropping into poverty. They live in NJ and the tax burden and cost of living is very high. So much so i keep trying to convince them to leave, just because the numbers don’t work out. But their house is near all the hospitals and all their friends, but they really can’t afford to live there anymore.
It happens to a lot of seniors. They think they will live in their home forever, then the area gentrifies, taxes go up and inflation kicks in and they end up struggling.

I don’t think even a million would do that anymore.
My brother’s dog ended up having Addison’s. The vet bill was about $10,000. It all happened so fast. He is a really beloved pet and my brothers best friend. How do you say to the Vet just kill him, I can’t afford it.
He did retire with a million. And has been living on it and SS. But the pile is diminishing quickly and both he and his wife have developed serious medical issues. And the car on its last legs.
And he looks at how many years the doctor gave him to live, then at the size of the bills, and the pile of the cash and the numbers just don’t work out.
And I know this means nothing to 30 something looking at a lifetime of Walmart wages. But with his health fading it still is scary.

With the numbness comes apathy. So no…
- Comment on SBA #225 Sins and Virtues 4 weeks ago:
Well the numbness wasn’t really voluntary. More of a survival mechanism forced on my by life.
- Comment on A reminder 4 weeks ago:
Well a million dollars isn’t that much anymore.
And no matter how good the facade, I will always reflect my white trash roots.
And now I cant really remember what the point is I was going to make. Damnit. I hate it when that happens.
Oh well, never mind.
- Comment on Flu season comin'. Keep yourself safe 4 weeks ago:
Not really on the “sweep the leg”. When they land they will spew a cloud of viruses as the wind gets knocked out of him.
You need to quickly follow the sweep with a triple backwards somersault to exit the danger zone.

Anyone who has been hunting or overnight hiking will tell you the why. It’s really a very common thing. To the point where people dummy cord almost everything to themselves just to stop loosing things.

You laugh, but it more true than you think.
When you are in the wilderness it is really easy to put something down on the ground and never see it again. Even though it’s probably just a yard away. Wilderness plays tricks on your mind and easily disorients you.
Here is a story about a rifle someone set down for a second but could never find again for 132 years.
