Then same applies to those who make movies, songs, and software.

Nope, no registration needed. Problem must be on your side.

"This isn't piracy. Nothing was stolen. The dollar amount is just pulled out of someone's ass because no sales were lost."

"Authors need to get paid for their work. Fuck LLMs and their piracy."

It's called business. Once the industrial revolution began, people are replacyed by machines at every opportunity.

The only rational extension of this, then, is to get into that business.

Get experience welding/fabricating/cement work/construction, and figure out where that tech is going. Build a small nestegg as you rent and be intentionally poor.

Start a business doing what you now know, but automated - and ask your parents to help with collateral. Get investments and funding. Buy into a franchise making future-looking technology that can do the trade you now know.

The 3d printed structure equipment is one such vertical I can think of. Being able to run cable in those structures? You're going to need to learn how to do that, or hire someone to do it, because that's sometime off from being automated. There are still human elements which will remain such for the foreseeable future.

This will, unfortunately, undercut most people who do not have a combination of an IQ over 110-120, drive, and grit - which includes most of the people who are currently "programmers", unfortunately.

There's some responsibility of the loss of life on any government agency that allowed for habitable structures in a flood plain.

The camp was in a known flood zone. That entire area is a flood zone. They petitioned the government to remove their camp from the flood zone so they could build more buildings in the flood zone.

The commissioners in Kerr County asked Texas to get the money to upgrade and improve the early warning system for this area. Every time Texas couldn't find the money. As one commissioner said in 2016:

In addition, some of the county commissioners voted against upgrading the system.

I would wager the political environment is more friendly in Dallas.

Yes, the free money readily flows by the tens of millions for private companies in Texas, but not when it comes to protecting people's lives.

My dad knew someone who was on a few medications and regularly watched the Fox tabloid. The guy seemed always upset/concerned/whatever. My dad told him to stop watching the tabloid.

A few months later the two were talking and the guy had stopped taking most of his meds (except the one or two he needed) and he felt much more relax. Less stressed.

When your goal is to "engage" people, whatever it takes is the rule. Stir the pot. Get people riled up.

Why allow both fuel switches to be shut off at this point?

Fire? From my perspecitve (non-technical, non-aeornautical) you should not want something like this to be locked down. You should always allow for something unexpected to occur which would necessitate moving these switches in all circumstances. Locking them down would seem to deprive the pilot/co-pilot the ability to react to a situation.

Sorry, but a restaurant still has no business checking my social media.

They want to see if you're a dick or annoying or a whiner or anything else which might interfere with their restaurant ambiance.

Would you want someone who posts how often they get drunk at restaurants at a place which charges $500/meal?

But as the article also relates, they want to tailor your experience with them. If they see you've announced you're on a diet, they won't suggest the high fat stuff but instead something they think might be more appropriate based on your postings. Or maybe you mentioned how you would like to try XYZ, but never had the chance. Guess who will give you that chance.

For places like this, it's all about personal service and making sure your stay is comfortable.

According to FDA and CDC data, the covid 19 vaccine killed over 4800 people

No, it didn't. Not even close. As of 2023, there were 9 confirmed deaths related to the vaccine itself, and those were only related to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

That fake number you pulled out of your ass was debunked years ago.

and had 380k adverse reactions,

Once again, stating things which are not true. The VAERS database lists any reaction of any kind after taking medicine, REGARDLESS if there is any casual link. If I take Advil then get a rash three days later, did Advil cause it or it is poison ivy?

Pointing to a conspiracy site does not help your cause.

He entered the country illegally. He had no paperwork, no sponsor.

You're assuming the soil is able to support those crops. Look at the Sand Hills of Nebraska. When settlers first saw them they thought, "Oh wow! Acre after acre of land we can plant for food!"

Turns out the ONLY thing which grows in them hills is the grass already there. That's why they raise cattle and bison.

There is no guarantee moving farms further north will be successful, let alone able to produce sufficient crops.

And there it is. Because it's a white male immigrant, can't mention it. The fact he is here illegally doesn't enter the equation.

Just goes to show that stating a fact is fightin words to MAGA.

That's because Europe doesn't have the taxpayers subsidizing private industry for decades on end. Or who runs begging to the government to protect them from their own incompetence every other year.

Perhaps if private industry paid their own way, you'd change your tune.
