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!

Gluten intolerant person here. It's like any other allergies where it runs the gambit. Most of us only have digestive issues if we eat it. Very rarely however, people will have the thing where they will just fucking explode into hives if someone breaks out a piece of bread in the same room as them. Just like peanut kid in elementary school.
Either toss my ass in a dumpster or give me a sky burial. No exceptions.
My understanding is that wolves don't have "eyebrows" at all. The fact that many dogs have them is either an evolved or selected trait specifically to communicate with humans.
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.
This is nothing new from Tesla. My parents have a Model 3 and they can't use a car wash at all with it. Hand wash only.
Can someone with a legal background explain to me how a law written before the state even existed is somehow considered more legitimate than current law?
Why do companies even buy ads in this space? There's so many spots in our society where ads are just being injected to play for nobody. At what point do they figure out that it's not worth the return on investment to put ads in those spots?
Not OP but I work in a similar environment (special heavy rail equipment). In our shop we have lots of tradesman: plumbers, mechanics, welders, electricians, etc.
Generally they are broken up into small teams, handed a set of prints, a kit of parts, and told to build the thing to the print. It's not like an assembly line where you're tightening one bolt all day, it's more like building different Erector sets all day and handing them off to the next team.
Low stakes, high pay, good benefits, regular hours, low monotony. If higher Ed is not for you, I'd look into something like this.

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.
