I am lucky enough to live along the rail line that connects the east coast to Chicago. It is the main connection between population centers. There are only 2 train lines that pass through, each line only has one train in both directions. (total 4 a day, 2 east, 2 west) No service during the day, only early morning and late night.

Rail service is a joke here.

Our buses are more of a suggestion even if they go to where you want.

I mean, I’m on the second time traveling after leaving a job - but I’m going for a couple months.

I’ve worked on both sides of the engineering / technician class divide in manufacturing. Most engineers are worthless lazy pieces of shit that huff their own farts and insist you’re the dumb one.

I’m between jobs at the moment (by choice), on paper I’m like the guy bitching, but even in this market I was able to make some phone calls. You’re doing it wrong if you’re rawdogging applications. If you have had manufacturing experience like this guy says he has and are known for being okay at making stuff work you’ll get hired.

Proscribe these nuts

To me, pardon the term, but hysteria about AI generated content as some sort of cooties that taints whatever it touches is silly.

AI content generally not art because there is not the same intentionality behind it in an ontological sense, in the same way pretty patterns that naturally occur are not art. You can be inspired by whatever, I’d just call you a shit artist if you trace some AI content and call it your art.

You could argue that it is possible to be art in the same way that guided natural processes can be art, using tools does not immediately make something not art, but looking like art also does not necessarily make something art – it is an interplay between an artisan and their tools to shape the world with intentionality. I think its just a higher bar to clear with tools that could possibly make some of the “creative decisions”.

Though, I’m pretty sure its getting the number by counting the number of phones in the area.

We could… be under the missiles, shining in the night sky.

Cooling towers are not exclusive to nuclear plants, due to environmental concerns water is cooled before being released in many heat-cycle plants like nat-gas, coal, or trash / biomass.

Uh oh, stiiinky.

In Europe they have adaptive headlights that specifically block out oncoming traffic, giving best of both worlds. US does not have it because of US headlight standards.

Nitrous, at least in the US, famously has never been easier to use / abuse. You can go on Amazon right now and buy a 4 liter tank (which comes with a “cracker” nozzle to dispense)

Never consume directly from the canister though, that’s how you get throat frostbite or literally blowing your lungs out. A balloon works well, headshops generally sell those thicker punch balloons.

It’s safer to do a bunch in one session than do it regularly - as stated regular use leads to B12 depletion and neuropathy. Otherwise it is perfectly safe. You would want to supplement before use ideally, as you can not absorb B12 well for a while.

Safe use is at most one session every 3 - 4 weeks or so, with B12 supplementation.

Robotabs are pure DXM freebase - if you’re going to try DXM, it’s the safest form. I tried them once, it was an interesting experience, DXM by itself will make you vomit, I also kinda felt fucked up for a couple days after, as a one time thing it was an okay experience - maybe I would try it again, but it was not something I feel a need to do again.

CHICKEN JOCKEY

I’m sorry to hear that you have to go through that.

On an individual level, the one true freedom we have is to choose whether we go on or not. I am not going to sit here and tell you to go one way or another. As long as it is an individual decision and not outside social forces trying to murder you, I do not see anything wrong with asking.

“Fine, ‘have it your way.’”
