I live in TX too and TX is doing fine. Sure some new arrivals are getting flushed but we've got rattlesnakes, black widows, tarantulas, and cactus too! Don't buy the first home you see on a beautiful Texas river though, b/c

Ask him to do a hemoccult (done in the office - doc sticks his finger up your a** and dabs it on a test material) or request a cologuard test (shit in a box at home and mail it to the lab! - loads of laughs driving cautiously to FEDEX!) The

vel0city says "* Three-bean salad? Fruid salad? Ambrosia *" Got me at the " fruid salad: searched for it but found only "Freud" which sounded distinctly unappetizing.

You've been looking for 7 months - too long to keep looking. Go back to school and get a Master's only(that is, don't seek a PhD). Obviously the market is questioning whom they should hire, if anyone. Don't get caught en

Since no information is gained between one's first choice and the second, I see no advantage in changing. In that sense, this problem differs from the Monty Hall problem, wherein new information is revealed between the first and second

Not being sarcastic. And kids with leukemia die earlier than kids w/o: leukemia is not a "super power". Quit being silly.

A boy with leukemia very likely won't live to adulthood and will be a burden on society. We want and need the healthiest, the brightest, the strongest for both their generation's sake and that of succeeding ones.

Why does a good LLM require millions of books? No person requires/reads nearly that many books to function! Most well-educated persons have read far fewer books yet are presumably more intelligent than any LLM. This is a hint toward so

Society is not "broken" whatever that means. Half the population has an IQ less than 100. Do not expect the low-IQ group to ever get a masters or earn 300K as a couple, etc. Caveat - this may have to be amended due to the water
