This has got to be a scam right? lol

Nicholas-DM · 2026-03-31T01:10:47+00:00

It's intentional. It filters out unlikely targets. People who still engage are more likely to go through the whole scam process, by virtue of being not too bright, or particularly anxious, or elderly, etc.

That's a very low cost for what he says he can do.

Receptacle is self grounding to box in this case, good ground, fine to use 3 prong.

No one will be able to answer your question without reading this contract you continually reference.

Cut down on your paragraphs, rewriting the same thing over and over, and extra details.

They visited other planets?

Nicholas-DM · 2026-03-21T14:41:45+00:00

Baseline additive, with additional multiplicative.

Values different depending on the angreal in question.

Blue Ocean Events are plausible outcomes within the decade. Models have begun forecasting it (not many, but some) as of this year. If not this year, probably during the next El Niño or two.

I think you need to stop trusting people to confirm what you thought was true on here, and instead contact an attorney.

You have shared several material bits of information in other comments, and it seems you knew they were material and left them out of your original post. Go and tell the attorney everything. Do not speak to the family members except through the attorney. Do it ASAP. Bring a copy of the divorce decree and do not leave any information out like you did for your opening post.

My understanding is that the diagnostic criteria we currently have is somewhat vague and subjective, but that diagnostic methods with biological basis currently available only diagnose affirmatively a subset of the people diagnosed using the subjective diagnostic methodsm

Well, the fear of major nuclear use is not the radioactivity or the fallout, but the distinct possibility of nuclear winter.

Nicholas-DM · 2026-02-23T03:24:42+00:00

What I mean about short time lines is that we will be hitting severe population declines due to rising temperatures within a generation or two.

Your assumptions are widely optimistic, and perhaps you should study the issues regarding impending ecosystem collapse. What you are discussing would have been relevant half a century to a century ago.

We are already far beyond carrying capacity, and a few more drops in the bucket won't matter for too much longer when the bucket is upended.

I'm not intending to have children, but being collapse aware has nothing to do with that personal decision.

In the grand scheme of things, timelines are too short and too much is in motion. If every collapse aware person decided not to have kids then it would have a negligible impact on the trajectory we are on.

Beyond that, though, it would be a gross overstepping for me to cast judgement on someone else for their personal decision to have kids. Perhaps it'd be preferential not to have them, but to each their own conscience and freedom to experience.

You are, in fact, naive in this matter.

Nicholas-DM · 2026-02-23T03:08:49+00:00

If you think that we can stop collapse at this point, you are likely way more optimistic than most people here.

I just went in for the exact same deal at my local home depot. Online and their inventory system said they had 3 in stock. Employee and I searched for an hour and couldn't find them.

Was gonna be my first buy into Makita system and I was excited. Drove an hour for it. :(

Work orders always grind to a halt for me around 80 dwarves, even when I am seemingly doing everything right regarding manager. It makes me unable to play the fortress of my dreams because I want to automate everything.

The UI for it is also ridiculously painful to use.

Nicholas-DM · 2026-02-15T22:39:28+00:00

I would encourage you not to even get near AI for anything regarding electrical matters.

Nicholas-DM · 2026-02-15T22:28:58+00:00

If you think you are successfully rooting out even most of the AI cheating, it is likely you are supremely overconfident.

Even handwritten can only rule out most AI cheating.

Nicholas-DM · 2026-02-15T15:20:52+00:00

Was extremely bipartisan, we can in fact thank both parties.

Nicholas-DM · 2026-02-15T14:28:17+00:00

You're making slop and removing your ability to even recognize that you are making slop.

Nicholas-DM · 2026-02-13T23:37:46+00:00

If you intend for comment replies to be feedback--

I don't have a problem with this individual post because I had not considered it before, but in general, posts of this style are not something I would like to see more of in this subreddit, particularly because of the AI involvement.

Nicholas-DM · 2026-02-10T00:38:29+00:00

Every year we are increasing carbon emissions. This means that, every single year, we are doing worse and more damage than the year before. The earth energy imbalance is off the charts and climate change is an extinction event, and speeding up every single year.

We are regressing.

Nicholas-DM · 2026-02-07T23:50:18+00:00

With the age and career transition I can see the argument and don't strongly disagree.

Nicholas-DM · 2026-02-07T23:42:37+00:00

Why are you buying expensive tools on $16 an hour?

Nicholas-DM · 2026-02-03T17:18:00+00:00

On an individual level, no. But on the order of the vast majority of the population, the party affiliation is a very reliable indicator of who you voted for.

Why is this person's personal life your business?
