The Teton River. Lots of floating, fishing, and moose all along the route.

When I lived in a city I never gave money but I did offer canned or sealed food. I have also given away my used camping gear.

If possible, do not give food unless it is sealed. I prefer to give out canned food with a pull tab or sealed items like protein bars and granola bars. Many unhoused people throw away open items like sandwiches given to them by random people for their own safety, and I can’t blame them

Beware of the confidently incorrect answers. Triple check your results with core sources (which defeats the purpose of the chatbot).

Why would I want to survive an apocalypse? I’d rather prep for a peaceful and painless death.

Why buy a new game when you have no money and your backlog will take years to go through?

• Portal 2
• Persona 4 Golden
• Galaga

Honorable mentions:

• Titanfall 2
• Destiny/Destiny2 (sometimes)
• Baldies Gate 3

This clickbait bullshit keeps getting shared.

Everything he wrote makes sense IF you are working for yourself, for your startup, get paid by the hour (doesn’t apply since he mentioned little pay), or you are gaining priceless skills and experience which you can soon after capitalize from (investing yourself).

The work my firm does affords no work life balance, and I tell that to anyone that approaches us for work. That said I also tell them that they will get paid for every hour they work.

Expecting people to work extra without additional compensation is illegal in a lot of states but the slave/hustler mentality has normalized it for many.

PS: At my firm, the number of work hours is determined by the employee. If you are only available for 10 or 20 hours a week, then that’s all you work, but that’s also all you get paid for. We have a few “retired” experts that only work a handful of hours but they have irreplaceable expertise. It’s a win/win IMHO.

Countries need to start implementing UBI NOW

It is funny that you mention this because it was after we started working with AI that I started telling one that would listen that we needed to implement UBI immediately. I think this was around 2014 IIRC.

I am not blanket calling AI stupid. That said, the AI term itself is stupid because it covers many computing aspects that aren’t even in the same space. I was and still am very excited about image analysis as it can be an amazing tool for health imaging diagnosis. My comment was specifically about Google’s Bard/Gemini. It is and has always been trash, but in an effort to stay relevant, it was released into the wild and crammed into everything. The tool can do some things very well, but not everything, and there’s the rub. It is an alpha product at best that is being forced fed down people’s throats.

I was an early tester of Google’s AI, since well before Bard. I told the person that gave me access that it was not a releasable product. Then they released Bard as a closed product (invite only), to which I was again testing and giving feedback since day one. I once again gave public feedback and private (to my Google friends) that Bard was absolute dog shit. Then they released it to the wild. It was dog shit. Then they renamed it. Still dog shit. Not a single of the issues I brought up years ago was ever addressed except one. I told them that a basic Google search provided better results than asking the bot (again, pre-Bard). They fixed that issue by breaking Google’s search. Now I use Kagi.

…it is dangerous to underestimate how many of these people fully believe their own rhetoric.

That’s the rub right there.

That’s not rot. That’s bureaucratic seasoning. It’s what happens to bread when it has to wait for bureaucrats to get off their ass and do something.

This is, IMHO, why Superman is doing so well. It’s the type of unapologetically wholesome shit I didn’t know my soul was so desperate for.

EDIT: My wife just called it “hope porn” and I think it fits.
