There are some questions I just honestly would like a few opinions on and/or discussion around and I certainly prefer to do those here and here from members of the federation.

100% but I like in the bird stuffing.

its hilarious how this party would tought state rights. only rights for things they can’t currently get themselves at the federal level at any particular time.

crap because I don’t like it. Hope it does not become the game to emulate for other companies.

I have some experience with hoarding to and like to do digital assets. I sometimes see things on digital decluttering and it always cracks me up. The whole point of digital to me is not to have to worry about that kind of stuff.

To the level of your ability. I say this because I certainly but up against my limitation and at some point you have to recognize someone with expertise and take their advice. So you can decide things based on what you know but when you don’t know things well enough you have to sorta meta decide. Medical is an obvious example. I will certainly do some internet research with my help and well being but when it comes to the yearly I have a discussion and listen to the advice of my doctor. I will decide if and how much of their advice to take but if im not taking their advice I should likely get another primary care as I obviously do not feel confident with their expertise. I may take into account what I think their biases are but I have to take into account what I think my own biases are as well. Im a pretty high functioning individual who has several degrees, pretty much liked school, and is used to learning new things regularly. There is no shame in recognizing and taking advice from someone who you think has better expertise than yourself. On the other hand some folks do just not even try and want any random person to just do their mental work. At the very least the person should look at what the decision is and evaluate their own capacities and have a reason why they want a particular someone to help them out.

mandatory gift giving should be eliminated. Giving a gift should be based on knowing someone and encountering something you absolutely know they would love and have the spare cash such that it does not put you out economically to pick it up. I think the problem is human nature though. Its very hard for someone to receive a gift without feeling they have to reciprocate. It really is easier to give than recieve in some ways.

In case people just read the headline the end result is it can’t 100% replace humans but the stats they give indicate they are pretty close and they learned some lessons that they are going to be using for improvements. They mention product damage but not cost. What surprised me was they were pretty close in rate to people but it mentioned people are much faster with smaller items and items at human level (not way low for bending or high that needs a ladder) ; while the robots did not vary as much with size or location. I could totally see them revamping human labor around this. Setting up for small items to be handled by humans when they are on shift and maybe having a role where a human responds to robots that can’t identify an item. They even mention maybe having robots do the high areas so humand don’t have to get on ladders (which sorta increases safety to). So I could see a robot management role which we have in a lot of automated setups. Humans to inspect for damage or quality, repair, or just intervene when needed.

Ugh. When I can’t solve something in a day the imposter syndrome starts breathing down my neck.

Honestly I feel many groups could use two communities. An internal group and an outreach group. If the name and sidebar rules make it plain then I think that should be all that is needed. Like if there was a vegans-only or vegans-talking vegans and the bar said hey this is for folks who are vegan to discuss the lifestyle. If your not vegan you are free to hang if your respectful to the lifestyle. Then like another community like vegan-curious or path2vegan or something and that can say hey this is to spread the word on veganism. If you want to debate cool but if you are 100% closed to becoming vegan then please find somewhere else to hand. If I saw that I would block the internal one as im not part of the crowd and don’t want to intrude (people get wierd about blocking because of the negative terminology but its just a thing. Since I don’t think groups can be locked it makes totaly sense to block something your not apart of if its made clear its an internal group thing). Anyway just some musing on my part about group structures. I often think of them like in person things. The vegan group that meets at the library also participating in outreach programs or such.

Yeah im one of those folks that can sleep anywhere and it does seem like some folks are easy sleepers and some not. My wife is not. I have to be careful about making noise if she is asleep as she will wake so easily. She has to get the dog to help to get me up.

I mean if Im having a laydown I just rest or nap. I don’t really think of it as staring into the void. I love naps or taking it a easy for a bit. Moreso if I can do it outside with nice weather or even in a chair near an open window. Closing my eyes and listening to the birds and other bits of nature. Granted various noises can make that more of a no go if the timing is not right. Evening is even better with stars and the moon. If you start looking at deep breathing and mediation and having a few minutes is like gold. All that being said I like suduko and its a nice thing to do throughout a day a few mins at a time. I think tastes may vary with suduko though. Crosswords to but I have to be a bit desperate as I find they are more about me learning about the puzzlemaker than language really.

I have never been into it but the very first ultimate fighter, back when it had few rules, had one and woa. He lost due to a suspicious thing where the entrance gate game open causing a reset but without it he 100% would have won. It was amazing as the other guy was not exactly small and got a full on kick on him. I mean as best your going to get with full force and the sumo shrugged it off like nothing and then he caught him with what seemed like a casual slap that winged him and you would have thought he was hit by a truck. gracie never faced him but I doubt he would ever have been able to get a lock on him. Wish he had competed the next year.

That is a good point and I have seen youtube videos on this before and would like to know as well.

Whos paying for the fuel because the heavier the aircraft the more fuel it uses?

Don’t worry folks. We are going to stop measuring sea ice depth so that it will not be a concern anymore. Worse case scenario you can only have like 3 dolls this year.

Where im at when you ask for badge its a little pocketbook type thing with their police id and badge so for me its essentially the same thing. Its funny because I actually had an experience where four guys in vests came out of a car and told me to halt or such and I backed away with my hands up and said I need to see some identification which one pulled out whereupon I stopped backing up. They could have been gang members looking to rough me up.

oh. ok that makes sense then.

funny thing is I like being in choruses but I consider the conductor to be the real muscician and im more the instrument. I prefer ones that use solfage as my music reading is pants (I know long and short and go up and down) and there needs to be someone in my section who is good as I can’t match pitch to the piano but I can to another voice.

thanks. I feel more confident now to give it a shot.
