All companies are tech companies, those that aren’t will be replaced by those that are. It’s been a common theme for a decade. I don’t really care that some venture capitalists lost their easy button to decide where to throw money for massive returns. Investing is supposed to require diligence.

It’s a common problem with estates though even if 4/5 people want to sell it for whatever they can get, that 1 person can keep it in limbo for a very long time. If there wasn’t a will or trust that explicitly gave someone power (and even if there is in some cases), a few years of nothing happening isn’t actually outside the norm.

I remember people talking about stories where someone got a great job because they happened to be a big guild leader and someone at the company was in the guild. It makes sense to me, just running a 10 man Kara with people that already knew what to do was exhausting.

Grand strategy games aren’t for me, but I love reading the insane stories from CKII and Dwarf Fortress.

Discovery sucks in the fediverse, so it causes a lot of fractured and spammed content until hopefully everyone migrates to a stable community. Otherwise everyone eventually leaves as there appears to be no interest in a topic due to the fragmentation.

A total shutdown is far more likely to hurt trump and the Republicans. The Democrats by supporting this are letting certain Republicans oppose it.

The same is also true for liquor, though it’s a state agency that enforces the laws.

Go back to the stone age and drop modern steel tools and weapons where a tribe could find them. That tribe would likely become dominant and perhaps change everything.

From a US perspective. Depending on the specialty a PA will do 99% of what a doctor does. In more surgical specialities they tend to do most of the pre and post op work. The US also has NPs (nurse practitioners) which are very similar in function to a PA. The big difference is that an NP is taught medicine from a nursing perspective, while a PA is more explicit in the partnership with a doctor. As a PA or NP you would be more of a peer with a doctor, so you would likely see different sides of doctors and nurses than you currently do.

You can expect different drama, maybe not less. I can’t say what specifically would be the case in Germany. In the US it’s mostly about balancing patient care with paperwork, and battling insurance companies. The ratio of practicing medicine vs bureaucratic bullshit is currently very skewed towards bureaucracy in the US.

I was on a plane that made an emergency landing. It was a lot less scary or exciting than it sounds. Our plane was leaking hydraulic fluid, so we diverted to a closer airport to land while the landing gear could still be lowered with hydraulics. The landing was uneventful, but I did get to see a flash of emergency vehicles with their lights on along the runway.

There’s things to be concerned about still, but it’s mostly about the ease of consuming a shit ton of calories with oils. Using real butter or eating fattier meat isn’t really a problem.

The easy way to add calories and protein is dairy products. Start your day with coffee and heavy cream instead of milk or half and half. Add cheese or butter to meals you already enjoy.

When a buddy of mine was general labor at a warehouse, his lunch was occasionally a sleeve of Oreos and ice cream. You can be as “irresponsible” as you want for a while.

Fat has been way over demonized in modern times, it’s nowhere near as bad as people think it is. There are some unhealthy trans fats, but those have been banned pretty much everywhere.

If you want to save less than 5 years, banks with CDs or high yield accounts are your best bet. The stock market is far to volatile for short term saving, you really need need 5-7 years of investing to make growth likely.

With cars specifically, an option is to use existing car + bank account to buy a better car for cash on a 6 month to 1 year timeline. This works because at the low end cars don’t really deprecate until they break. This stops working well in the 10-15k range.

I enjoy efap which is probably the longest form, especially Mauler, the others are generally better in a mixed crowd. It’s movies and Internet drama for the most part.

There’s a balance that needs to be maintained. A general purpose knife like a chef’s knife needs some thickness to it, otherwise it can’t effectively chop through tougher things. It’s also not a knife you are supposed to hold the full weight of when cutting most things. Thin knives are awful for things like cutting a cabbage in half or cutting chicken bones.

Finances are one of the most common reasons for divorce, being open about these things is key in a relationship.

1. As far as I know there aren’t great moderator tools to automate anything like a pay wall ban, so most mods won’t bother inspecting every post.
2. Lots of people like to bypass pay walls, because fuck em.
3. Most people aren’t reading the articles anyway.

Probably fort legoredo, I wouldn’t mind doing it again, but I think some pieces got mixed with some other sets from the wild West theme. I think that set also doubled my Lego gun collection as well.
