fluid dynamics simulated on computers helped air-bending, that's cool. i knew about the bees disappearing, but bugs in general too?

3rd party here -> isn't scrolling through comment history an ad hominem?

because it isn't addressing the point.

However, I'd say that a lot of times the rich people are poor tippers because in their minds "their presence" is your tip.

tip cash right to the person

however, now that Walmart has pickup for groceries, I often am, "oops I left a wad of money back there, you can put it in your pocket" just to avoid the Walmart tip process online. Who knows who is getting it. If they workers want tips they should fight to be the "bring the food to the car" people or have an honest collaboration with the "pick the food from the shelves for my order people", I just assume they rotate around.

Anyhow, sometimes it is even pouring rain, and I said, damn! -- then the guy said that unless there was thunder or lightning they had to go into the rain.

Was it that Bush II started 'no child left behind' and it has grown into a bureaucratic monster?

Autodidact here. If one has drive, and a >20Mb internet connection and even a ten year old computer, one can teach oneself Mechanical Drafting, Excel & Access (or other spreadsheet & relational database, like libre office suite). Here is my advice to any driven young person, like 16 with a car.

  • get your GED/HiSET
  • if you are into trades, like the South Park episode showed is gonna be jackin', is apprenticeship.gov
  • if you are into free college, modernstates.org
  • if you want to start a business, sba.gov

I went with finishing public HS till 18, instead of jumping out with a GED or HiSET at 16, getting an apprenticeship (mechanical drafting) & doing that put me 2 years behind the ones that did this, and like AI, those are two important years, like the Pink Floyd song, Time...

And then one day you find

Two years have got behind you

No one told you when to run

You missed the starting gun

It's a good deal if you live till ninety and retire at 65. The one in my family is rolling along at her same payrate each month (adjusted COLA) as she had when she left, and since inflation has been under control, generally, it's like her pay was effectively doubled. Every month she gets a Direct Deposit for the amount she would have got if she were still working, 25 years of that and she only worked for 20.... UNIONS!
