One thing I noticed when I was last in Illinois is the absolutely amazing amount of slots "parlors". You can get a beer or something and they have 2 or 3 slot machines. They're everywhere. Like one out of every 10 businesses

There was a post on here that I responded to and can't find now. The purpose was a gentleman talking about how music today is generic crap because of streaming. I disagreed with everything he said (he claims music is bland now because

Yeah, it seems like self-driving isn't the cost saver here. It seems like route planning and optimization is a much better place to spend money.

This is only tangentially related, but if you like history and ship wrecks and live near Kansas City, go to the Steamboat Arabia museum. They're digging up a steamboat that sunk, and they found after the river changed its course. It&#x

Do you not have human conversations with your friends and family? That's also a way for them to learn about you. I like your view in this because it's just so different than anything I've thought before. Having books in commo

Politicians do not belong in curriculum discussions unless they are content area experts.

I genuinely enjoy that many people think PC culture started with BLM and woke language and what not in the 00's-10's. There's literally a movie called PCU from 1994.

That's hilariously bad. Our sweet old lady office manager 2 jobs ago used comic sans for every announcement. Babies and new employees and that sort of thing it was fine. But using it for death notices of employees family members, with

The car shows in all the small towns around me (populations less than 750) have entries for early, mid, and late model classics. So 20's through 90's. Most have trucks in every year. They're also run by active shade tree mech

If you're in for a weird documentary, watch Plagues and Pleasure On the Salton Sea. It's amazing.

That's a hilarious escalation.

My experience is that burnout tends not to come from the actual work, but all the politics and bullshit that come from office life. I do similar work in my day job and consulting. I'm very fresh and optimistic during consulting hours,

Want to hear my hot take? It's not funding (though that is A problem). It's not attracting qualified, talented teachers (though that is A problem). The main problem is parents and society. Individualism means parents know better t

That's just false. Nearly every state relies disproportionately on local property taxes to fund schools. Federal dollars tend to be supplemental and come in the form of food subsidies or Title grants. They absolutely do not "more

How is it laundering if the research has an explicit use for the military? I'm confused on your point.

The most successful people I know absolutely are glued to their phones. They're networking and messaging and reading and planning on their phones. But from the outside it looks very similar to candy crush. . .

There is a lot of money to be made in selling hope. Sadly, most of it goes to charlatans. The human psyche is a fascinating mess.

We have prepared for disasters. 3 to 6 months of food fuel and water for every member of the house and livestock. Everyone should have a week or two of supplies just in case. Look at what happens during large scale natural disasters. Prices

I have worked with colleges for most of my professional career. Kids these days are bleak. If they hit any obstacle, they just quit. And most administrators don't understand it/want to blame this on 'today's generation&#

That book has one of my favorite quotes, "What can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the Reaper Man?" I don't know why but that brings me to the verge of tears when I read it.

That makes me really sad for some reason. AI content is replacing something for the elderly. Is that good or bad? I don't know but it feels sad.

I have either full time or part time row cropped and livestock farmed for the last 40 years. The last time anyone anywhere even remotely close to me used explosives was to bust a levee. If you're clearing multiple acres you use a track

Can you name a good apocalyptic movie? I'm really struggling to come up with one. Twister, sort of, and that's neither good nor apocalyptic really. Edit: Twelve Monkeys. I think that counts.

There is still good cinema and television, it's just shockingly difficult to find. The first person who figures out how to sort the wheat from the chaff and does so with no interior motive could be a millionaire immediately.

So you actually enjoy being needlessly pedantic. I mean this will all due respect; you need to interact face to face with people more. Learning how to talk to people like a human in a space where you can see how they react will help with: &
