Either this or one very similar was in True Blood, the Fellowship of the Sun church.

I haven’t watched this yet, but I’m familiar with his channel. He typically pulls in info from a few different sources (often studies, which he does cite) and talks about them. Pretty worthwhile.

Legally it is Florida, so I won’t try to convince you otherwise. Culturally though, the Florida Keys are pretty distinct from the mainland. Nice place, except for all the usual high tourism island pitfalls, but they are alleviated considerably since there is a bridge.

By the time most people start pumping gasoline, they are almost past the part of their lives they take many standardized tests in.

My god. Somehow I hadn’t thought of doctors using LLMs to make decisions like that. But of course at least some do.

I like there being no requirement for a cloud account, but the storage being on a card in the camera seems vulnerable. What’s to keep someone from taking the card?

This was interesting. Most of these jobs are dangerous because they increase your exposure to car accidents it looks like.

I had heard that most police officers deaths are from car accidents, but this says “violence by other people or animals”. Must be just their category name, not because animals are a significant danger. That category is shared with one other profession in the top 25 most dangerous, supervisor of mechanics at number 19. I guess bossing around people with a lot of potentially dangerous tools at hand goes bad fairly often.

If your set starts with the Magician’s Nephew, move it to second from last. Read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe first. The Magician’s Nephew is chronologically first, but the wrong order to tell the story. Which is why the author didn’t put it first.

It all makes sense if you read Magician’s Nephew first, but it removes mystery from the others. And the reveal of the events in Magician’s Nephew was more exciting after reading most of the rest of the series, instead of being the intro to that universe. It takes some of the magic out of the series. As someone who has read most of C.S. Lewis’s books more than once, I’m pretty confident he’d be pissed about it.

Spoilers below, it is a pretty good series, read it. But also, do not start with the Magician’s Nephew. It is chronologically first, so some publisher changed it after the author died, use the original order.

A truly horrifying prospect.

Well, don’t be hasty. Being sent back to Venezuela may not be the beginning of justice, depending on why they left Venezuela to begin with.

Well, I can understand the feeling, but it’s not true. Many of the states in between have a better ratio of relatively sensible people to fruitcakes than it looks like, but the fruitcakes have gerrymandered voting districts pretty severely. Which is a self reinforcing issue.
