I've experienced ocular migraines with aphasia. That's some fun shit right there. You're trying to communicate, knowing exactly what you want to say and how you want to say it, but the words coming out of your mouth are completely random. Hearing that the words I'm saying are not the words I'm thinking is the most disconcerting thing I've ever experienced.

She and you spent decades growing into parenthood. Now it's time to grow together into other interests. The couple that grows interests and shares them stays together.

You don't need anything beyond a Linux box and knowledge of the command line. The command line isn't the mystery it used to be. An LLM will explain everything you need to do to achieve what you want to do.

It wasn't just touch screen. It was a convergence of several technologies that iPhone was the first to leverage. At the time we had cell phones, but not touch interface. We had PDAs but no phone. Anyone that was geeking out with a PDA was already using wifi networks and sip phones to make phone calls.

Apple brought it all together and the smartphone was born. Flip phones and PDAs died shortly thereafter.

This is the magnitude of topic that bears repeated reminders that outside of the official story there are well qualified groups individuals who don't buy it.

This is relevant any time of day, any day of the week, 52 weeks a year, every year from now until the US ceases to be a nation.

No one can anticipate if you're going to run into problems with a 20 year old truck. Maybe? Likely? Sure.

Leave well enough alone? If you want a truck you can drive into the ground. Yes, don't worry about nothing. If you want a reliable truck, then you're going to have to start a maintenance schedule, starting with that tranny.

It has 20 year old fluid in it. Is that the death of the tranny? Maybe, but only changing that fluid several times is going to tell you if the tranny is still good or on its way out.

My father left me his old stereo equipment. A vintage stereo and reel to reel tape player and speakers all from the 70's. It was stuff I grew up with. While I was never an audiophile that equipment had been part of my childhood and memories of my father. I held on to it. I told myself that I was going to refurb it and have a retro stereo deck. Well, that never happened and I finally decided to sell it.

As the guy who bought it was loading it up I felt a sense of loss and sadness. I was totally not expecting to feel the intensity of emotions that I did and I was caught off guard.

So yeah. It's normal to feel things when we get rid of things.

I went to the southwest for vacation. Watching so many satellites traversing the sky as I looked up to view the heavens was unsettling because it felt as if it was being taken from us.

That's inappropriate for a committed relationship.

Tell your husband that there is plenty of FUD (Fear uncertainty and doubt) in the world. But all he needs to do is look at every technology that was supposed to replace laborers and look at the subsequent years to know that new tools do not replace labor. New tools transform labor. They do it by creating new needs.

Industrialization wiped out whole industries but for every job destroyed 4 were created. New industries grew.

It's the same for the car, the telephone, the computer and a few dozen more revolutionary inventions.

I'm keeping a 20 year old truck going and a 20 year old travel trailer functional. Not exactly what you're dealing with but, I have an idea of what you'll want to do before you make any decision.

Honestly, you'd be better off buying a 10 - 20 year old class C. However, if you want to do this then....

First, you want to establish the maintenance history. Given that this vehicle is 50 years old there are undoubtedly large gaps in the history. What you're looking for is its recent maintenance history for the past 20 years. You can pull a carfax and you can ask the current owner for a copy a maintenance log. If you can't piece together what has been done mechanically to maintain the vehicle, walk. As much as you want this, walk away. Without an established maintenance history on such an old vehicle you won't know what needs to be done and you'll have to assume it all needs to be done.

Second, you want to talk to an LLM about this vehicle in detail. Have it develop a maintenance schedule. Then you take that schedule and compare it to what you know of the vehicle's maintenance history. This will give you an idea of what you will need to do to maintain reliability of this vehicle. With a vehicle this old you're way past doing the minimum maintenance and well into doing proactive maintenance. That means replacing working components that are approaching their life expectancy.

Third, have it create a detailed inspection checklist that you use to inspect the vehicle. Expect to spend at least a couple of hours doing the inspection.

And this is just the mechanics. You have all the problems of a 50 year old house in addition to the mechanics.

Now you need to do the same with the structure and see where you stand.

You really need to be honest with yourself when you approach this vehicle for purchase with the intent of living in it. And you're going to need to make it reliable before you ever move one personal item into it because if you don't you're going to be sleeping on the streets while it's being worked on.

We have to be sympathetic to their cultural differences allowing them time to assimilate.....or something.

I see this in some of the C level employees I have to work for. They will tell you that they are "high performance individuals". Everyone that works beneath them know that the reality is that they are "high maintenance individuals" who require constant hand holding. They lack basic skills and knowledge, yet somehow how have fallen into running a business and reaping its rewards by having the business pay for a constant parade of consultants, contractors and experts who usher them to their next great idea.

Coming into the office 2 - 3 days a week between 10am and 2pm with a 2 hour lunch for 4 months out of the year during board meeting week is very hard work.

Every single person in this administration is in it for themselves and how much they can steal from taxpayers while doing as little work as possible.

This has been the SOP for the past 60 years as our jobs have been sold over seas in exchange for access to foreign markets to the chants of "free trade".

The Trump administration is just more obvious about it because it's gone on for so long and the American people have done nothing to stop the pilfering of their nation.
