That stew needs more carrots.

The aliens should consider changing the rule to anyone with a financial value that has a z-score of 2.33 on a bell curve relative to the rest of the world's population.

Given the aliens have a big appetite and understanding that this would eventually wipe out the human race, perhaps limit the numbers of humans that can be eaten to the birth rate of humans so that they create a sustainable supply of food.

Eat the rich!

What's the verdict?

That's the one, and thanks! My son and I got into Meshtastic as a hobby, and I guess ham radio was the next logical direction for our interest. It's fun learning the science behind how it works.

Fun fact! I'm studying for my amateur radio technician license and learned that ham came from calling amateur telegraph operators' sloppy work 'ham-fisted'. The amateur radio community decided to lean into it, and thus the ham radio operator was born

Will no one think of the hungry alligators?

Can it be a pillow fight?

I use steamos btw

I don't know about your specific use-case, but I've successfully used the pictured hub as a Steam Deck dock.

Out of twins, one is heading for trade school, the other will have earned half her undergrad by the time they finish highschool, with plans to go pre-med. One will make a great living as an electrician and the other will drown in student loan debt for years. I'm equally proud and supportive of their decisions.

If a parent is disappointed that their child is going for a trade, the only thing this shows is that the apple fell far from an asshole tree.

I'd listen to your podcast.

I was recently swimming in that thought soup, myself.

In reality, the truth is somewhere in between. Yes, AI is taking real jobs right now, not a speculative future, but so are the economic issues.

There are just so many people suffering. Young and old, there's not a demographic untouched by it. Plenty of blame to go around, for sure.
