Yeah I get it, he’s a good dude and you sound like one too. The only real resentment I harbor is towards our government. Because the military seems to offer the only real path to a life like that if you don’t have the means to get on that track yourself. Plus, it’s such a perilous one, not for everyone. My bil was lucky enough to serve at an allied base during peacetime - he still ended up half-deaf from all the live-fire drills.

It’s already half way to replacing stack overflow and all the other trusty old forums for coding and tech issues. At some point people will stop using the old platforms and that’s when the well will run dry for LLMs, which will have to start consuming their own refuse err, content. There’s a looming cliff, and it’s coming up faster than you might think.

My brother in law is an ex-marine, no college and now easily makes 4x what I do. Free network, free training, free career, low-interest loan on his house. I promise I’m not bitter… But if that’s not socialism I don’t know what is.

Great video, thanks for the link!

I miss channel 5

To be fair, debate classes often involve arguing for positions you’re personally opposed to.

Then scaring it out

The nightcap is cheap and low effort. All you really need are two pieces of scrap fabric to sew together. A knit beanie has to be, well, knit. Now we have machine/robotic knitting, but hand knitting consumes a huge amount of time and energy. The nightcap clearly came about at a time when clothing was straight up made in the home, often from scrounged fabric. Nowadays the higher quality beanie is the obvious choice. It’s snug to your head, can be purchased at many different price points, is manufactured using cheap outsourced labor halfway around the world and can be at your door step 12 hours after a mouse click. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone unironically wear one of those floppy night caps in my life unless it was part of a cheap children’s novelty pajama set or costume.
