Recovering academic now in public safety. You’ll find me kibitzing on brains (my academic expertise) to critical infrastructure and resilience (current worklife). Also hockey, games, music just because.

60 year old Canadian. I remember these as an occasional thing, like maybe during a dental promotion week? It wasn’t like it happened all the time.
- Comment on What was the first thing "pirated" on the net? What was the first thing to be pirated off the net in the modern age? 1 week ago:
What do you mean by “pirated” and by net do you specifically mean the web or does the old internet and DARPAnet count?
As an example does guitar tablature count as pirated? What about the scan of a playboy centrefold?

I remember reading this story in Reader’s Digest back in 1970s or 80s. An oldie but a goodie.
- Comment on Do millennials keep looking significantly more youthful than previous generations? 2 weeks ago:
GenX. People used to smoke while eating. Having a cig with a drink doesn’t count as smoking. I haven’t seen nicotine stained walls in years.
- Comment on Do millennials keep looking significantly more youthful than previous generations? 2 weeks ago:
I’m GenX and I remember smoking in grocery stores, movie theatres, offices, buses, airplanes…everywhere. People used to smoke while eating.
I knew people who’d smoke 2 packs a day, and one guy who’d smoke 3 (basically a cigarette in his hand every minute of the day, sometimes with a second one burning in the ashtray). Having a puff while you’re out drinking doesn’t even count as smoking in comparison.

- Comment on What I Imagine Taylor Swift Fans Eat 4 weeks ago:
I ran my last marathon on keto and it was fantastic. Five stars, would recommend to anyone. There was just no slowing down and I didn’t even notice the wall around the 20 mile mark. Where glycogen is finally burned out.
I didn’t find it sustainable as a lifestyle though because I eat in other peoples homes a lot. And it’s just rude to not eat what they put in front of you. Eating out was just strange as well since I would just eat the protein and leave the sides. Or ask to substitute whatever it was with salad.

Or highly orchestrated with costumes and decorations and a theme.

- Comment on Do dogs actually like having their belly rubbed or do they just know we really like to rub their bellies? 5 weeks ago:
It’s submission behavior. So I guess it depends on their preferences.

- Comment on If when I was young and skinny, I could leg press 600lbs. Now if later in life I balooned up to 500 or whatever does that mean everyday pulling my self up and walking im leg pressing 500 again? 1 month ago:
Fat guys that lose a lot of weight have massive calves. No amount of calf/ toe raises can compete with walking around with a hundred pounds or more of excess weight.

- Comment on How hard is it for an American citizen to become a Canadian citizen? Or get dual citizenship? 1 month ago:
It might be difficult for him. Canada’s immigration system is primarily built on skills. Highly skilled and in demand workers have a comparatively easy path. Skilled in this case can mean different things but typically requires a trades certificate or university degree and several years of full time experience. If he doesn’t clear that bar then he needs to go through a provincial program which may have different skill requirements, but would require him to live in a specific place for several years.
From your description it sounds like he works less than full time in a low skill area. It may be difficult for him to qualify.
You can put his information into this calculator and it will tell you if he qualifies. www.canada.ca/en/…/check-score.html#wb-cont

No we’re not. You’re not entitled to our attention.
You can do whatever you want. I think the message is clear that there is limited support for AI here. So if you choose that as your “medium” it may meet with limited traction.
