My home state had a permit for that too, certain vehicles I could drive on certain roads under restrictive speed limits. So I could, like, drive a tractor or farm truck with the right license plates down county roads to another field.

That was separate from a school permit. The nearest school bus stop to me was miles away and didn’t go directly to my school so I would have spent 3+ hours per school day on multiple buses if I hadn’t been able to drive myself in. Not to mention sports on weekends and other stuff where the normal school day bus wasn’t running. My permit restricted the hours I could drive, it had to be to or from school or jobs, and I couldn’t give anyone rides other than siblings. I think I wasn’t supposed to drive on the interstate too.

Like the local sex offender website gets a drop down menu to switch it to showing billionaires?

Kinda surprised NH has no billionaires.

Personally, at 26 I wouldn’t tell my parents about reversible drugs I’m trying out under doctor supervision to help with mental issues. But at 26 I also wasn’t rushing into chemical therapies against the advice of my psychiatrist. So maybe you need your parents or other trusted person to be a sounding board while you make a decision.

And seems like the same with any large medical decisions, it may be worth getting a second opinion from another doctor.

13, special license in some US states for kids who live out in the middle of nowhere so they can get to school.

Learned from parents, grandparents, siblings, being around trucks and tractors and motorcycles since I was a toddler. I knew how to drive long before I got a license.

I routinely watch scrub movies on 1.5-1.75x speed while bopping around the house, multitasking cleaning and hobbies and pacing. It would be pretty darn tough for me to differentiate between 1.0x and 1.25x for a lot of movies as both are slower than what I frequently watch.

My most frequent rewatch is Ready or Not (2019) and I’m not sure id notice 1.25x speed at all.

(I do still sit down and watch at 1.0x speed new-to-me movies I care about, before anyone gets too twisted about my not appreciating art)

LLMs and other AI tools are just that, tools. They can be used ethically or unethically. Use the opportunity to learn about them so you can use them judiciously in your career and effectively argue against their use when the situation calls for it.

No, sadly “tank” is the action applied to "industry.

I watched the industry […] tank.

Close. Engineering. Lots of engineers hung on 5-8 years longer than originally planned because their retirement plans got hurt so badly, which meant fewer jobs for fresh grad engineers to get hired on. I’m starting to see it again with colleagues who want to retire this year but are tacking on an extra couple because their finances aren’t where they planned to have them.

Then I can get going about removal of pensions back in the day and expectation that people jump job to job to get pay increases instead of getting raises in-role that match let alone exceed inflation, incentivizing people to NOT stay with a company for long, leading to a shallow bench for the next line of leaders and experts. I’m mid-to-late 30s and am on my 4th company since college and 3rd job within current company; contrast that with my dad who worked for the same company for almost 40 years and holds as many patents for them and knew that company inside and out. I will never be as knowledgeable and efficient as he was. Where industrialization allowed specialization, it seems like we’re actively pushing to go back to generalization where workers are replaceable with minimal changeover time.

There’s a way. UBI. But there’s no appetite for it because politicians and corporations don’t make mad profits off it. Line must go up faster and faster each quarter; letting the poors die in debt does this better than providing them a basic income.

Is there a reason to not just use the laptop? It’s already bought and paid for. I would just setup it up for maximal ease; get a good keyboard and mouse and side table she’s comfortable with, bookmark everything for her, set the TV’s default source to the PC, make all the text 200% size or greater so it’s easy to read from 3m out.

In college, watching the industry I was getting a degree in tank (and many others). I chose the field in part because of historically good job stability and 95%+ job placement after college. That all evaporated. Folks who should have been retiring were having to work longer, leaving no room for fresh college grads.

I hope this AI crap resolves down to a more stable level. I’m concerned the folks in college now will have it even worse between another generational bubble working it’s way through and now AI making things more “efficient” so fewer humans are perceived as necessary.

Have a conversation with my now-talking dog.

Don’t have so many kids you barely know their names, let alone needs and interests.

Don’t parentify the girls, making them into mini-mothers that care for the others.

Don’t instruct the boys that keeping a clean home, cooking, and hygiene is women’s work and beneath them.

Don’t use physical negative reinforcement (no hitting, no limiting calories).

Don’t teach that reaching out for help is a moral failing.

Don’t indoctrinate them into a religion.

Don’t instill pride and moral superiority in being “better” and “different” than other families.

Do sit and introspect on how you’re treating your kids. Challenge your preconceptions. My parents could read the above and insist they never did any of them, that they were great parents.

Not tech related.

Catholic school with uniform including khaki pants. I started my period and bled thru. I swapped to sweatpants. Most teachers just figured I must have some reason and didn’t bother me. A couple asked after it, one accepted my reason and offered to to let me out of class to have a little more time to cleanup or call home or whatever I needed to feel comfortable. The last one gave me detention for being out of uniform.

School administration reversed it when they heard why I was being sent to detention. I was advised to just go to the main office if it ever happened again so they could help me instead of having to deal with each teacher myself.

Inflammation is measurable. Where are the studies correlating inflammation measured via whatever medical scans to depression diagnoses?

An incomplete article if the studies exist and weren’t mentioned. A useless hypothesis if the guy is already authoring books but hasn’t done any studies yet.

Waiting to board a plane and then I’m going to nap so hard. I should get some jet engine wash tracks for sleeping normally at home. I am usually asleep before the plane takes off.

My highest rating on Letterboxd for a film from the 50s is The Night of the Hunter. I really haven’t watched much from that decade. It is a pretty good movie, great at building suspense.
