They have been told for decades that the left is actually doing all of this stuff already, so Trump doing it now just feels like revenge.

I paid $16 today in the deli in my building for a sandwich, fries, and a drink. Getting on the “bring food from home” train again real quick.

This is the kind of post you make to signal you’re not ok, or are in danger, right?

I don’t agree with his thesis about that, but if the point is just making humans and AI as smart as the other - well, we’re getting there!

The problem is that it’s teaching an entire generation to be reliant on it to the exclusion of using their own brainpower. In a way, he’s not wrong because it’s dumbing down the population.

Can’t disagree with that. Healthcare for all would be better than whatever we’ve got going on right now.

This is horrific.

It’s not free - it’s tied to one of their jobs. Like a lot of other Americans.

I live in Houston. Speed cameras were essentially outlawed for criminal prosecution by the state government six years ago, so we basically Mad Max it here now.

This is going to end up with a court accidentally citing a made-up case in an opinion.

I made this mistake ONCE when I started practicing in Austin. Never again.

I’ve seen so many men in formal court boots but I cannot remember ever seeing a woman wear them.

Pronunciation is a whole ‘nother beast. Things that will mark you as not from Texas immediately: insurance, umbrella, San Jacinto, pecan.

There have been too many droughts and wildfires for my liking. Water seems like the most important resource a piece of land can have, so when I think long term I worry about that anywhere in the west.
comment in response to post
Eventually, yes. It’ll last longer than the rest of the state though.

Colorado. Texas water availability (besides the Gulf Coast area) is already cooked.

This sounds a little like the journey of Joseph Smith, lol.

All I know is that Christians actively distanced themselves from Catholicism for ages, and now it’s super popular because they’re cosplaying and appropriating conservative traditionalism. (Me, the last time I went to church: when did they change the mass???)
comment in response to post
Indeed.

Two LLM degrees are useful: tax, and international LLMs that allow foreign lawyers to take a U.S. bar exam. LLMs in legal use are good for tone policing and that’s about it. So yes, roughly the same utility.

Oh, this is a voluntary bar association?

You’re giving way too little credit to South Texas (which is underrated) and way too much to Blackman (who could never be underrated.)
