“A little off the top!?”

Hey southern people/non-phsyics-readers?

Snow is the best insulator to keep snow from melting

On a scale of 1 to 10, I’m at a 2.3.

I’m probably older than most here, in my late 40s. Haven’t had a date or even had the guts to ask anyone for 20 years. I have hobbies but I’ve reached the limit for what I can justify putting in to the financially and over time the enjoyment of them has dropped.

Overall I’m dissatisfied with almost everything about my professional life. At work I’m surrounded by (at best) unthinking people and at worst, out-and-out [rule 6 no US politics] - one of whom I’m (very closely) related to. I cannot find a suitable replacement (or an even worse, but happier in life) job to replace it with. My workplace refuses to provide me with health insurance and thanks to the [rule 6 no us politics] and their cronies I’ve lost access to the healthcare I’ve had in previous years, (ACA) because the cost through it has more than quadrupled. Haven’t had dental coverage for my entire adult life, and they’re bad. At this point if I COULD afford to go to the dentist I already know the response. “They’ve got to go, we’ll fit you for dentures” is the answer I’d hear.

Now on the weekends, or days off? I can forget about enough of the week to feel like more of a 5 to 7. I’m lonely but can do what I want, when I want, like OP said. Admittedly I have a fairly ok amount of money, a moderate amount of savings, and relative financial freedom, but a year or more unemployed and I’d be back to poverty.

My real life friends from school either left me behind, had kids and I can’t relate to their lives, (not that it would matter, they have no time) or moved away, went bonkers, [rule 6 no us politics, but you know] and in some cases have died. The best friends I have, (A whopping 2 of them) I have never met in real life. One half-way across the country and one 2/3 of the way across the country. (US)
At this point I’m considering asking one of those 2 friends if I can leave this all behind, cram all the most important possestions I have in to the car, and pay them rent for a while, to just leave all of this behind.

I have no idea what they’d say if I asked.

I’m thinking we find ourselves some solid contextual clues to use.

Destroys best currently available option for health care

Starts amazon.com for drugs

Inatiamate objects are threats of violence. That’s what I learned.

EAT THE RICH

Oh I like you.

Agreed

Now we all know that if we see someone in a BMW at a traffic light who looks particularly comfortable, that person is an idiot.

Musk loves tunnels because he can TRAFFIC things through them unseen

I think FLOCK is a terrorist organizaion

They’re missing a real opportunity here- when someone enters the “password” 12345, which 31,033,620 times by the way, their page should immediately display this

WOW, that’s truly amazing. That rate keeps up for long enough, they’ll replace almost everything for electric.

That’s a great question but I imagine it will be similar to my Honda- its lane sensing camera “reads” speed limit signs and displays the current speed limit on my speedometer. Flashes it if I’m doing a certain amount over the limit, which I can customize up to 10 over.

That’s big-brothery. Like OP said just take away their license and make the penalties for driving without a license so astronomical that the problem will fix itself?

The projection is very real

Good. Let’s see them release an anti-Chevy truck and an Anti-Ford truck, so Canadians can give this shithole a proper “what-fer”.
