You’re not wrong, but like, ouch.

Shrodingers law is the goal of therapy

Between 35 and 51.if we assume a reasonable stacking technique for stability, every box not on top can be supported on 3 sides at 40.

We also don’t know that every box is the same size. With that format screw it could be as low as 21.

This is why mechanical diagrams include an isometric view and xray lines.

Edit: I see now it specifies cubes, so the number couldn’t be 21, but it could still be less than 35. I’m not figuring that one out.

Also why can’t you see the trailer in the top view when it protrudes on the sides?

She looks so weird in this picture I thought it was a screenshot from the game.

A damn fine roast you threw together there

Mine is not based on my history as I run eOS and don’t allow any form of tracking, including through the three different keyboards I run, none of which are any good.

Someday I’ll find the one, but until then I’ll either mistype, get bad autocorrects, or have to hunt for what I thought were basic symbols.

I just want whatever my old moto had damnit

My keyboard autocorrected it twice, so I gave up and let it spell it wrong, assuming my point would stand either way, since it holds no bearing on the rest of the comment.

I run three offices, and I can tell you we don’t get any of that money. In fact we pay out the ass for whatever bullshit tech company was forced on us by insurance lobbyists to make you see those ads, while they also make the questionaires unreasonably long and uneditable so they can data harvest and make another dollar after tech fees, Ad revenue, service charges, and insurance payments.

But we can’t just not use them, because every new regulation is a 60,000$ fine, and they send ghost patients at least once a quarter to try and catch violations to rules they lobbied to make as difficult as possible to conform to.

My EHR system is 1700$ per month per office, and it has only made everything much slower and less personal, while forcing me to constantly do tech support for half of our patients.

Hippa is supposed to protect us from the data harvesting, but since the insurance companies own the tech, device, ad, and service companies, as well as most offices, they don’t have to sell your data, because they’re the ones who want it.

Only on expensives items or antiques. I don’t like it, but it seems to be expected on marketplace. I’m so used to people haggling I post everything 25% higher than the amount I actually want or expect.

That being said, I always think it’s funny when someone posts obo on their item. If the price is 700 obo, why the hell would I offer you 700?

Amother organism or person needs to be predictable to be trusted.someone or something acting in an unpredictable manner means it may suddenly decide you’re a threat. We evolved in a world before science and medicine, where any injury could mean death. Even the most unstoppable animals, bears, elephants, moose, will bluff charge a threat rather than immediately attack, because fighting risks injury, regardless of how unbalanced the fight is. I can’t win a fight against any of those animals, but I can bite it while it’s killing me. A full thickness bite wound is all but guaranteed to cause an infection, which may kill or disable.

Humans are also social creatures, and we run on cultural norms that make it easier to trust that the person next to you in a restaurant won’t suddenly stab you, even though he is holding a knife.

A major cultural difference can make others seem dangerous in a primal way. We know through interaction that other cultures are not more dangerous, but that primal unease of being surrounded by people from a different tribe is still in there somewhere.

In my opinion, this is why racism is so hard to root out. A lot of it is taught by others, but it’s not a negligible amount tied to fear of anything different.

Click bait title aside, I legit wouldn’t have thought that was illegal. Certainly not arrested and in jail illegal.

There are beaches where bones wash ashore regularly, from old shipwrecks, battles, failed immigrations, or drug runners, and nobody cares.

Odd that there’s so much hate for the image generation. I hate AI, but not for the images. I have an image generator myself and it’s funny as hell. I hate AI for ruining the internet. After August of 2023, every search engine became borderline useless, and every “informative” website became auto generated dogshit.

By my father’s sardines, what a savings

With all the over militarized equipment they’ve deemed necessary to give out traffic tickets, I would assume those have ballot proof windshields

That’s funny there’s only one in my town, and it’s facing the Lowes parking lot.

Ochre

Get handy. Fix things before they go bad, and learn basic construction on the way. Second hand tools are cheap, and there’s a number of good youtubers to help in any situation. After you get your bearings, it turns into a fun way to make the place into what you want it to be. Nothing is terribly difficult, and materials can be had cheap if you’re not in an emergency. Facebook marketplace allowed me to build a house for 70k over two years, and it’s valued at 350k, and not finished yet. The experience gained led me to doing odd side jobs and reselling unused materials to keep paying for new additions. If you can replace your own water heater, you can replace someone elses for half the price of Lowes and still take home 700$ for three hours work. Pick up some resold tile and put in a bathroom wall. You’ll find out what you did wrong in your own bathroom and won’t mess up someone elses for some extra cash in a pinch.

Electrical work is my favorite. Know the code, and how to stay safe, and it’s a lot of fun that the average person is HORRIFIED of. Get a good electricians multitool, a current tester, a drill and some tape, and you can perform miracles.

Most people will never afford a house. You don’t have to fix it, you get to fix it, so take pride and make it somewhere you love to live.

A yacht with a Titan seamoth in either the carribean or Australia to just cruise through some reefs.

A response would be defensive action. This is specified as OFFENSIVE action, which we shouldn’t be taking unless we are at war.

Wait, why were we taking offensive actions?
