Trump is the end of democracy and he's going to genocide everyone that doesn't look like me. None of our political rhetoric is healthy right now. I shouldn't be amazed at our lack of self awareness regarding politics, but fuck.

Chicken tax and EPA nuttery. It's fucking bullshit.

Fully insured. They likely had liability but couldn't get full coverage, which is perfectly legal.

It's hard for me not to go off on speculation like this. Bunch of random assumptions for no reason. You can look up the requirements. For my state it's a weight/passenger limit.

Do we need a "don't parse xml with LLM" copypasta?

Waste of energy. He's been lying about his popularity for quite a long time now.

Free cancer treatment. You gotta pay to be a dino tho.

Thank fuck he's not one of today's very unlucky 10,000,000.

The scam is called pig butchering.

Nah. That's a fruit cake.

What I do is similar, and our customers are in house so we have some latitude. We've got fairly loose standards about how we build most things, and usually more than one option - but the finished product has rigid requirements. We get to "equivalent or better" some things, but even knowing that is kind of fucky. Grade 8 hardware is better than grade 5, right? Except for safety critical shit. Then you need stress disposition to go to grade 8.

We've lost a lot of old peeps to golden handshakes and being mad at the company/union. In a few years my org lost an absurd number of years of experience. Think thousands.

Someone needs a some pink and blue dust wipes.

Edit: to be clear, mine would look the same but with more pet hair.

If a lot of them are ridiculous speech, anti-trans and abortion laws that could also inflate it. Pass dumb laws, get dumb court cases.
