So he has a line, it’s just squiggly.

Exactly!

I went out to some stores and got him driving on an interstate for the first time as a student driver today. It is gorgeous out and we just enjoyed each others company for a few hours.

Great response honestly.

The public education system in the US is garbage and has been since no child left behind and standardized testing was implemented. Rich people don’t send their kids to public schools because the education in the private and charter system is that much better where a large portion teach classical education and don’t feel pressured to teach to tests (that don’t tell you anything about someone’s knowledge). Rote knowledge/learning doesn’t work for the vast majority. Teaching critical thinking does.

I don’t know that putting the education of our children in the states hands (increasing state sovereignty) is the right call but I don’t know that it isn’t. What I do know is that doing it the knee-jerk reaction way that they are is outright idiotic and causing more harm quickly than it needs to.

Technically that’s a Drain tech. A plumber will almost certainly tell you they don’t unclog drains (even though there is GREAT money in it, since no one wants to do it themselves, but will complain about the price anyway).

There’s a lot of different pay plans out there. No idea what roto rooter is paying their techs these days.

Pay is great in my opinion for apprentices but the hours are tough. You will definitely learn a shit load quickly if you pay attention, ask questions, and find a company/lead that doesn’t treat you like shit.

You see what you want to see.

Things aren’t great but not “everything is shit.”

Because SMB works reliably on macOS. Never had an issue. I also prefer Cyberduck and actual sftp so … take my word with a grain of salt.

Galveston Island, TX for a family get together later this year. We just got back from Alaska and it was a pretty great trip.

Oh, nice!

If any good news comes out of this it would be 7million people having nothing to lose so they riot and take over the agencies. Couldn’t say I’d blame them. My parents are retired and living partially on SSI as well. There are a lot of boomers out there that this admin is about to flip from MAGA to give me my money back party and they’re loud.

Yeah, it’s called whatever social media site/app is popular currently.

The US system is setup to reward 2 parties only. Until that changes what choice to we have?

The problem you aren’t recognizing is that, until humans are no longer driven by self preservation, there will always be oppression in any system. They all have and will continue to breakdown. It’s easy to blame capitalism but even socialist systems eventually cave under the weight of greed and power. We are the problem mon frère.

You might have been better without it. The older I get the more of a scourge I see it being.

I do think the government agencies need 3rd party auditing. Anyone who has worked for them or with them (private contractors) knows how much unchecked spending there is. “It’s not my money” attitude.

HOWEVER, how DOGE is going about it should be absolutely illegal. There needs to be checks and balances on both sides.

Doesn’t answer your questions but I also don’t think we just not look into the ridiculous amounts of money we spend on running the government either. Yeah, it takes a lot to run it but I know how much waste there is just in private companies too.

If he can convince Apple C-Suite that LLMs are not going to solve their Siri problem then I’ve confidence he’ll succeed. But, so far, they haven’t shown that sort of Apple intelligence.

This is why merchants use the highest fee and bake that into their margin on profit. Everyone’s prices go higher thanks to the merchant fees.

That’s why it’s in quotes. It’s bullshit.

All of this is totally plausible and not that wild. I believe her. Also Streisand effect much? Never knew of the book till now.
