what about the cat that runs up and down the hallway at night with her ball in her mouth yelling “look at me! i have my ball!” (you know the meow) and while playing footie with another ball at approximately 85dB. and if you get up and look at her, she just lays down and says “oh! it is time for pets and plays!”

that is a draconian punishment for an obscene crime. i’m not saying it doesn’t fit, but damn. only times i see judges give sentences beyond 20 is when the defendant goes out of their way to piss off the judge.
just committing this crime is enough to piss me off, which is reason alpha i don’t have the temperament to be a judge, but the extreme sentence gives me the feeling perpetrator must have been intransigent, incorrigible, showed no recognizance or remorse, stuff like that throughout the entire trial. Had a lawyer who repeatedly (to the point it appeared intentional) ignored court rules and procedures. represented himself. sovcit bullshit. stuff like that.

the difference between giving information and giving advice is context. if i know your situation, i am giving advice. if i am just talking about the law in general, i am giving information.

But the thing is, it should be a tool - carefully used - to enhance the existing profession, not replace actual professionals.
except when actually used, the professionals just take the LLM’s word as unassailable and disengage their brains. funny that

there used to be (the ones up by you and me closed. closest one is down in clovis now and i’m not driving that far for steak) a nice local steak chain that grilled their steaks over almond wood. honestly my favorite part was smelling the almond off the meat and how the nuttiness of the wood and the savoriness of the haem blended… i miss them. and now i need to get some almond wood

Just healing. It all works the same because everyone’s journey is unique. Thus it all ends up being unpredictable.

If the American press had given me 20 minutes of airtime I could have convinced everyone they don’t want to get involved with Greenland. We’re not tough enough as a people to survive in Greenland, much less “take it over”.
I doubt that trump supporters cheering on the USA throwing their weight around like the world’s bully-in-chief would be receptive to such a message.
Yeah, remember these are the folk moving from Florida to Alaska with nothing but a knife and a Canadian tuxedo and being surprised when they die after two weeks.

Please don’t take them entirely away. Maybe just internet access? 30ish years had to do accounting by hand. In those green ledgers. It took approximately twelve times longer to do it by hand than to do it with a computer. And it made me shrimp like 5 times worse. I needed an architect’s table what angled the top of it in order to work properly but I could neither get one supplied by the employer nor afford to give one to the employer.
Not all technology is bad

i just don’t really care about rgbs on my thingies. someone bought me a razer mouse and keyboard (because i like games, and they have macros) and it took me a year to set them up because i liked the ones i had.
still prefer my old keyboard tho. it had a nice curve in the middle.

That sounds like either Barstow or Yreka. Those are the only 2 places in the state I can think of that would put ranch on a steak. Unless it’s the trendy looking shack on PCH just north of Malibu that has discovered flavors but has not discovered taste.
