That won’t do much. You have to put a hornet nest prop(or inactive specimen) or a realistic stuffed raccoon right near the entrance to the attic that is in a defensive pose.

I almost fell off a ladder when I pushed up the hatch and my flashlight swept across a dummy hornet nest meant to dissuade actual hornets from nesting. I had a great laugh when I went to get a photo of the giant “hornet nest” to show the client and came to understand the reality.

We can do this, the problem is interface.

Right now, there is the possibility to have AI create exactly what you imagine, if you can convey what it is you want and have the processing power available to generate the output.

Without a psychic magic wish type interface, we fall short of being able to say “Do the thing” and get what we want. It takes a novel worth of outline to create a worthwhile output that meets expectations.

That being said, I would probably create a false reality to escape into in order to cope with the realities of a meaningless and pointless existence that is wrought from the apathy inherent to prolonged misery from existential dread and the general state of things.

Did you assume the sand as having no velocity relative to the object going C?

They are wanting to raise new game prices to $90-100 because prices haven’t kept up with inflation and dev costs, which will push more people to game streaming or subscription services.

Avowed could have been $30 and still sold the same because a $30 game is priced like a mediocre or shit game when you are talking open world ARPGs not made in Asia or offered as early access. I don’t even think the nothingburger controversy did anything to the sales of meaning, it just doesn’t seem like an interesting game from the announcement trailer to the launch trailer. The coolest thing in the trailers was the magic and that is a pretty disappointing aspect of the game.

Gamepass numbers are unknown, but steam had a peak of like 19k players. Estimates on ownership is around 200k units.

Monster Hunter Wilds had 1.3m peak, unknown sales estimate because it is too new. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, 256k peak, over 2m sales estimate.

Understand that is all PC Steam stats.

Avowed may only be a financial success thanks to gamepass because nobody is buying it.

Local grocery stores. There are mom and pop type ones in some places, but most are going to be chains these days. In a nearby town was a single location family owned grocery store that was very popular despite being just down the road from a major regional chain, it failed because the real estate market and shopping trends in COVID made it impossible for them to stay open; it is now a very busy Whole Foods. So small family owned grocery stores are dying.

The thing is that shopping entirely local is very hard to do and even harder to do if money is a concern. You have to make compromises like driving twice as far or spending twice as much.

Those boutique stores are often failing because they can’t compete unless the town is a tourist spot or there is a wealthy enough population for bored housewives to have their operating costs subsidized.

If you really want to go local, meaning locally produced products, then you will have to do your shopping online or contact the company to see if their products are in any stores.

You need to sort yourself out. First of all you need to find out if you even want to be with guys, girls, or which ever fits your mood. Try exploring your sexuality and find out what you want. You will do yourself no good wasting time with boys making you unfulfilled that could have been better spent smashing gashes with lasses that make you happier.

Ex-friend sounds like he won’t actually be a good boyfriend because of how much he shit talks others, tries to emotionally manipulate you, and doesn’t know how to recognize and “see” you.

Learn to be happy by yourself or you will never know how to be happy with someone else.

That is not domesticated. It has dual passive income, no housing costs, and a source of free meals that is more convenient than eating said source of meals. That thing will maul somebody if the arrangement is no longer convenient and aligned with it’s interests.

Mountain Lion, for home defense. Hard to act tough when your buddy just got dragged up to the balcony by their broken neck and stairs weren’t involved in getting him there.

I thought she might have mistaken me for a bear and got spooked by my grunting outside her tent. I was just trying to see through the ridge vents to see what book she was reading so I had something to talk about and break the ice.

IDK. She seems to want to see you again in front of a judge, just like a civil union. Maybe she just wants a surprise marriage. Makes sense because you go to all the same places, use the same toothbrush, and sometimes share a bedroom.

The pepper spray and screaming usually are a good hint that they may not be interested.

It’s is so hard to meet someone while backpacking on a Friday night.

It would be profitable, but then you need to have allocate the manpower, repurpose or aquire property to house them, get food for them, and implement the infrastructure to transport them. Then they would also probably have to do some networking to even establish a buyer who is more specialized in an international scale, just because they are killers doesn’t mean they know child traffickers.

Death is probably preferable to enslavement; they would be physically, sexually, and mentally abused.

Finally, a viable porch pirate solution.

Oh, there would be a lot of nonsense as chaff, but that isn’t what would get me killed.

Me, assuming I have unlimited power to do as I please. I would be assassinated inside of a month, but it would be a wild month. The only president with more executive orders than me would be the person who comes after and undoes all the shit I did.

Water alone won’t help much, using steam can. Putting a damp towel down and using an iron over the problem areas can sometimes affect the dents a variable amount.

Depending on how good the varnish is, that will determine how well it works.

There is zero chance anyone close to 18 would ever be elected to a federal position. Anyone over 25 knows how stupid they were at 18 and would apply that understanding to the 18 year old.

I love the idea of a Sergeant at Arms giving a field sobriety test to a senator. I would like to see them fined an amount equal to a month’s wages if they are drunk. The rest of what you said is also good.
