You are so wrong I dont have simple words to describe it.

I’m a controls engineer who literally installs automation systems. AI is mostly useless in our industry, Claude barely scratches the surface of what we do. The coding is somewhat simple. The problem is how difficult the physical interaction is.

Having worked with Chinese controls people, they arent any better than the US engineers often they are significantly worse. No idea why. The guys from Mexico are way better from my experience.

My education is mechE so I’m kind of cheating when it comes to guessing.

Concrete is a lot stronger than asphalt. The road deck is probably a thin concrete layer, with asphalt on top. The supports are probably solid concrete and a lot of rebar. Solid concrete will shrug off large explosives, but the road deck can be damaged with small explosives.

Im just guessing though.

Why? It raises the octane, so you can run more boost easily. It just requires more fuel delivery because it has lower energy density. Are you near injector or fuel pump flow limits?

There is a video that was never released of his death. The claim was that the sting ray hit his heart directly, which makes sense. Sting rays are very easy to agitate accidentally, sort of like a bee. He got really unlucky even if he were annoying an animal.

Hate the pointless narrative that he was bad for wildlife. Most American millennials love nature because of Steve. He is why we like the aussie accent in bluey imo.

We are all arguing different hypotheticals. My problem is my personal experiences.

One of them was a rapist. The other was a high level tech salesman child abuser. So I’m 2 for 2 and my opinions are skewed forever.

Different life situations for everyone, I think.

I don’t mean strictly professional honesty, but my experiences leak into how I view something like this. The biggest liar I know is still in jail for raping children, so I have a skewed view of honesty.

My industry and group are weird when it comes to credentials. We don’t have a strict, you need this degree situation.

I value honesty more than most people I’m realizing. If a hire is open about their credentials I would not care.

I’ve witnessed what happens when people are ok with liars. It’s gross, and no one should normalize it.

Honesty is my problem with it. If they were open about it I wouldn’t care. But if they hid it and were hired because of the degree I’d fire them almost regardless of their work.

It’s something I value because dishonest people are usually quite horrible in my life experience.

I dont know how I feel about this.

On one hand, degrees are somewhat good for education in lots of industries.

On the other hand, I would fire someone instantly if they had cheated their degree like this.

Degrees are also very expensive.

I guess if it was a useless degree then it wouldn’t matter in the first place.

Or yah know a representation of the most important right we have in the US.

I understand your level of stupid, I used to be a registered republican.

From $3.50/gallon to $5.99/gallon on the west coast in the US. We absolutely are feeling the effects of these stupid actions.

$100 for a tank is relatively normal though. Our tow vehicle has a 36 gallon tank so even $3/gallon gets expensive.

We canceled prime. If we really need something from Amazon it’s $35 for free shipping anyways. We partially canceled because it’s all no name cheap garbage. At least some other retailers vet and back their products.

It used to be about safety, and training. Then columbine happened and they made a conscious decision to only protect gun msnufacturers.

It’s unclear if they might. I personally have no idea.

I have heard from some people at oregon protests that our police are tired of ICE. Doesn’t mean all of them, but this legal backstop we have sort of annoys them enough to hate ICE.

Since we are losing funding over it, we may as well actually use our sanctuary status.

In Oregon, no state law enforcement can help with immigration enforcement in any way. On or off duty. Document it and call 1-844-924-STAY.

There are also laws protecting people from any arrest while at a court hearing, such as citizenship things, but we’ll see if those hold up.

There isn’t enough support for revolution despite what many people here believe.

Internal violence is always used by fascists to consolidate power. So people who aren’t stupid don’t use it. Shooting an ICE agent would be used to expand their protection for example.

There isn’t more ‘somethings’ to do. Voting and protesting is all we really have.

The problem is a large portion of this country is actually supportive of what’s happening. People who are mad are a minority.

Edgy of you to assume all of these things.

You would be shocked how many people knew the WMD thing was a lie and yet, still went to war over it. It will be the same type of behavior if he were assassinated.

Im not sure still they won’t fall in line after he dies. The bubble they live in is more insane than you realize. I grew up in it.

You would do the same if you were a US citizen. Talking tough from a distance is just as pathetic as our inaction and general inability to magically fix our country. Waiting for elections and not escalating beyond peaceful protests is all we can do without handing them the propaganda they need. Peaceful includes open carrying like the black panthers.

If someone were to actually assassinate the orange one, you guys are way more fucked. The retribution campaign would go way beyond Greenland even if it makes no sense.
