Second these. I got one 5 years ago and it's still in great condition after daily use. No other belts have held up like that.

Idk man, I have it on good authority that JFK's head just did that all on its own.

I think there are two major purposes in government. First, protection for its citizens. This includes military protection from hostile foreign powers and domestic protection from interpersonal crime and systemic violence as well as providing safety nets.

The second is creation, protection, and maintenance of public infrastructure, including transportation arteries, healthcare systems, etc.

Furthermore, government should be centered around protecting all its citizens, not just the richest.

It really is! I ran out of ammo yesterday when I was shooting up an Oklahoma daycare center. Walked across the street to the Walmart and got another 50 rounds of 7.62 from the vending machine. I was back to shooting toddlers in like 5 minutes flat! So convenient!

This is why architects need to be on a leash at all times.

I agree. With the cost reduction on renewables, grid-scale nuclear doesn't make a lot of sense anymore.

However, I hope that nuclear will get a revival with SMR technology. Especially as local power facilities for things like data centers and auto plants and other industrial facilities that require as much power as a small nation.

I see your thinly veiled Hanlon's Razor and counter with Clark's Law: “Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.”

That was actually the coolest year of the rest of your life.
