If you need someone to talk to, I’m here. If you’ve just lost someone, and need some advice on dealing with it, or just want to vent to a random stranger, I can help. If you want some advice on launching a business, I can help you with that too! I always love helping new entrepreneurs get access to resources and info that they need to get their project off the ground. And I like cats. So send me Pictures of your cat!

It’s going to create a vacuum. My money is on China. They are very close to finishing the technology transfer part of the process (cleanly paid for by American investment in Chinese manufacturing capacity), the monetary component was completed ages ago, and now… we’ll see. They may play it quiet for a bit, but I suspect they will be responsible for directing the course of human development for some time once The Empire finishing tearing itself apart.

If only this were the extent of the it; some good natured ribbing over the moron we all despise.

But it’s not. It’s so much worse.

I also recognized him immediately. Username relevant.

Good job!

What do you… do? The text on the box makes me wonder if this is about murdering your way through the other passengers to get onto a lifeboat. Which, sensitivity discussion aside, yeahhhhh I would play a few rounds of that.

What is this from?

Yeahhhh… that write up is kind of disturbing.

“Those nipples on her mountains stood out like two big steel rivets.” WTF. Even if the woman actually enjoyed this kind of work, I don’t think she would have appreciated this. I’m sure she withstood much worse given the time period she was working, but still. Come on.

I’m inclined to agree, but if a few more people to chime in we’ll have a conclusive answer. Or at least one with higher confidence.

Enhhhh… I don’t know that I agree with that. I just had to refresh a couple of rooms, and surface prep can be done by a sufficiently well-behaved monkey with a ladder, or several patient kids in a trench coat. The rest of the skills are actual skills that need to be developed. Prep is extremely straightforward.

This give me a good chuckle. Thank you.

This is interesting, and definitely feels like something out of the poorly written TV show, but… I’m struggling to figure out what exactly I would do with the construction equipment. You definitely can’t sell it, and I guess I have space to hide it on my property… But like I don’t know.

I have no idea where I’m going with this, and I’m pretty sure that’s how I would feel inside of a piece of liberated construction equipment.

What is “ph” in this context? Pork Heaven? Pig… hmph? I honestly have no idea.

The Torment Nexus was never a single piece of technology. That was the neat part of the trick.

I am not generally a red chowder guy, but you know what, you might have me converting. This looks fabulous. Well done and thank you for the recipe!

Can you just ship it to me? I cook a lot, but tonight I’m pretty burnt out and just want to eat that.

You deserve a medal for this joke. A little one, but a medal none the less.

In short, in the US, we’re buying literally everything with money we don’t have. The value of the dollar could flip on a dime, and we’re not the ones in control of that coin toss because we don’t own our own debt anymore.

It’s not a great situation, to be blunt.

I’m going to be pedantic. I apologize in advance.

Money is now entirely abstracted from reality. Our money, on a global layer, doesn’t exist as anything but a convenience.

There are goods and services - things with tangible value & utility. Money has agreed upon value. The value is facilitating exchange of goods and services, that’s it.

In the case of the US, we have SOME exports of value, but not much at this point. Our debt instruments are just a really convenient way to facilitate trade.

It sounds like this is just feeding potential innocents into the billionaire murdering machine, and oh boy that is not a sentence I ever thought I would write.

Either you change the system or we’re just murdering people who otherwise wouldn’t have become billionaires.

Gotta go back to the robber barons, deep 6 a few Rockefeller and JP Morgan types - VERY publicly - and keep doing that forever. Or just… make examples of a few politicians and ensure we get proper legislation preventing this.

Cover me in sauce. I want it. I can handle it.

I second the Wyze recommendation. They are inexpensive and have been utterly rock solid in my experience. Get a basic weatherproof model. You don’t need PTZ, you do need memory card recording. The simpler it is, the less there is to break.

You can get solar systems for them. If you need that, budget it in.

You could also go the game camera route - they trigger on motion. Who knows, you might even see some cool wildlife!

If you have questions, DM. I’ve been down this EXACT road before.

I don’t know what it means. Would you mind telling me anyway? I don’t contribute to Wikipedia, because I am a parasite living off of the good people who do, but I do donate to keep it running!

Hang on. When did the Christians get space lasers? Did they launch their own or steal the Jewish space lasers? How many space lasers are there now?

Thank you for pointing that out! I’m a man, and I have done this in the past. I try really hard not to at this point. We’re all capable of this, and probably do it without having any idea it’s happening 90% of the time

Thank you for sharing this. I struggle with a similar challenge with my girlfriend. She is often waiting for me to ask, and my view is, I don’t know what you’re waiting for. Tell me what you need. I understand it’s not organic, but it is functional. And we would’ve avoided a lot of fights. Some stuff is on me to figure out. But I don’t expect anyone in my life to understand what’s happening in my fishbowl of a brain. I will share it if I want it in the open. It is easier this way.

… I don’t want to Google this, but I need to know more. I’m sorry to ask for details and thank you in advance.

Fuckkk. We will never un-do the damage from that BS. We handed our adversaries the keys to the kingdom on a platter.
