I can speak from a hurricane perspective but rebuilding is challenging. First decisions have to be made about your kids and family. If to or three schools are destroyed you likely are going to need to get housing in a district that they can remain in, until schools are rebuilt. If you have family that needs dialysis or medical care, you may have to move to a temporary place until hospital services are rebuilt. You may not have mail service for a while which means you can’t just order something from Amazon. No cell service and no maps means just bringing in stuff is challenging. There no trash service, there may be no water service so even if you want to stay, often you can’t because child protective services or adult productive services can come after you. You really need access to an RV or #van life to stay at your place. Bugs in the south and heat become significant issues. Sanitation services become an issue because there’s no toilet and you can only pee in your backyard so many times before you realize “this is not good” There no local store and there’s likely little to no gas just to get around. It can all be a challenge and in some places it just doesn’t come back. It’s hard to rebuild a town with everyone has to abandon it.

Here’s another article from the Lansing State Journal about the Okemos Caesarland closing. Idk how they could need more proof than this.

He decided to “adopt” her so she could be rescued in to Christianity, saying she had no relatives, while paying for said relatives medical bills, and refusing to reconnect them once they made it to the US?

Surely part of this story is missing. No one is that cartoonishly evil.

I mean, 299,792,458 is kind of a sacred number, as far as we can tell so far.

As long as they don’t think you committed fraud, yea they will work with you. If they think you committed fraud, get an attorney

Add an extra two zeros if the time to charge attacks is true to the anime, and just to make it over 9000.

You should watch the Ilya interview. He's confident there's still plenty of room for growth with just text but the real advancements will be multi-modal training data. I'd also take a look at Cerebras hardware. There's plenty of room for advancement with training hardware as well. We've got a LOT of runway ahead before hitting any real blocks and by then I'm 100% sure we'll have already hit self-improving AGI.

Just to have an active filter in your brain. Before you say or do something something just ask yourself if it’s necessary and how it will impact somebody negatively. Decide if it’s worth saying or doing.

Every time I pop over there it blows my mind, then the disgust sinks in and I have to leave.

If I had to give a singular "anger chemical" it would be glutamate.

Why can’t city hall be pressured to introduce a bill to tax the higher education institutions, on the backed land taxes they already owe, to then redirect entirely into fixing the T? The T being aka the student body delivery containers on the tracks that make everything run

I didn’t say people shouldn’t have them. Doctors shouldn’t be prescribing them so much and they shouldn’t be treated so casually.

But also yeah if people want them recreationally they should be able to buy them. We just shouldn’t act like it’s a good thing.

please tell me where exactly you have seen someone let someone else in on the road here

Some cool-headedness, perseverance and a bit of luck
