Yes, mental illness is very common in nursing, but it develops as a reaction to the hopelessness of being subordinate to egotistical narcissistic doctors. When you're dying in a hospital, the nurses can save you, but half the fight is with the ignorance of the doctors. I know this from experience as a patient. And nurses will tell you : the best way to survive anything is to never stay in a hospital.

The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that the age of aircraft carriers is at its end, because of drones/cheap missiles. These things are only going to get cheaper. A lot cheaper... radically cheaper, compared with their current cheapness already. When I watch an interception, I see two problems with defense. First is the cost - I can see that the experience we're gaining here is telling us that expensive defense is a dumb against cheap offense. So, interception will be bullets or drones, and if you watched the defense of that embassy last night, maybe you'll agree - i think bullets are the way. There's also that company with the lasers, which seem very impressive, but that won't work in the near future, despite working quite well, because of the second problem... All the interception video I've seen shows only one or two missiles at a time, and I've only seen one drone at a time. In the case of that embassy, the drones were coming in fairly quickly, but were still one at a time. That won't continue. If you can shoot down one, they'll send two. If you can shoot down two, they'll send three. Etc. As long as attack is cheap - not necessarily cheapER, just cheap - then the attacker always has the option to just send more simultaneously. This has been my main criticism of Iran's tactics so far - everything makes sense except this one thing : they could have saturated every target, but didn't. I'm not rooting for them, just to be clear. If an cutting edge system like lasers can defend an area effectively, then you just send a dozen of the flying lawnmowers at the same time at that one target, and then everything behind it is freebies. Or two dozen. Is that really how 'dozen' is spelled? Anyways. Or you send in a combo - that nifty Sejjil is surely the most advanced system in this fight, and all the moreso if it slams down immediately after defenses engage a bunch of the cheap drones. And, as I said initially, these things are going to get even cheaper. And smaller, and faster, and more precise, all at once. Its hard for me to imagine us pouring billions into carriers in the age of drones. Similarly, **_any_** large and relatively immobile target - like bases - is too vulnerable. All force will have to be mobile or stealthy, and all will have to be hyper reactive to changing environments. Slow convoys from point A to point B are not going to work. Well anyways. This is just my current favorite thing. I'm no expert.

It would be, if it wasn't a scam. They pump it full of water to rob you with dishonest weights and measures.

Also, this is the kind of tech I want "spammed" on bitcoin. SLS files.

Hmm... Almost. Christianity is a soft fork of Orphism, which is a soft fork of the Egyptian religion. Judaism is also hard fork of the Egyptian religion, and then it starting spamming Christianity as a strategy to take over the Roman Empire, and that's how the Catholic church was formed. The Egyptian religion and Hinduism are both soft forks off some earlier thing, and Buddhism is a hard fork off Hinduism.

Yeah. I'm a bit worried about that. But I also think point defense and missile defense should be one thing, and its silly to be using powered missiles to intercept missiles. It might be possible to save the navies with better PD. But it also might be better to skip the water navies and instead make orbital missile platforms. Of course, that would be even more expensive, but f it, it would be cooler, and we need an excuse to do more stuff in space.

We have booby trap laws? 🤔 I bet I could turn this into a pick up line or something...

I don't think I've sufficiently gushed about how awesome the olive oil trick is. Or rather, I've gushed but not told anyone... It really is remarkable. I've stopped using it and the change is continuing.

Pain and suffering aren't the same. Suffering is a choice. The way is to choose pain while not choosing suffering.

I doubt it, but maybe. Oh! I listened to the thing with Simon Dixon. Twice... I have such a hard time with the British accent, I had to relisten to be sure I got it. I think the general thrust of his argument could have merit - multinational money isn't patriotic. But the problem is the cost of what the American navy does. Its not cheap... I mean, it might literally be the most expensive thing in the world, maintaining a navy and using it to keep shipping safe. I don't think there's any other country that's willing to bear that cost right now. So... I think his timeline is off. But idk. But back to the marines being deployed... Its probably just not for Iran in the way it was presented in the news thingy. Its probably for Lebanon.

It's prunable. You're fighting the wrong fight, although I do admire the zeal. A more worthwhile fight would be persuading devs to figure out how to make lightning work with pruned nodes.

Ah, k, gotta get off that relay then

Are y'all seeing all these bots responding in this thread? Wild. They *almost* seem human, but the way they sort of miss the point and keep rolling in a meaningless way gives them away.

That might not be racism... Did you ask him? It could also be a reaction to racism. Well, we all have an opportunity to express the full nuance here. Like, I'm against Zionism but not Jews as a whole, and against Jewish racism, but again, not against Jews as a whole.

I didn't expect Finland, but a lot of people have been saying, the attack on Iran is the end of nonproliferation. Now everyone needs nukes, and our security guarantees are meaningless. Zionism did this.

Oreos? That must mean something... Maga boomers are really frustrating. Its not because of maga or Trump - those are symptoms - the disease is the lack of interest. They never ask questions. They seem incapable of seeing how their idolatrous version of Christianity has led us to this state - the attack on Iran, the loss of liberties here, even the huge state and destruction of the free market. It all goes back to Zionism, though I may be expanding the term a little to include its own causes. I've had some trouble with boomer Zionist relatives... I tried to explain what Jesus meant in something... Basically, they think I'm evil or something now because I didn't conform to their brand of idolatry. I was very gentle, very nice. I didn't call them idolaters, even though they definitely are... Its just gross. What they think is Christianity is just not. Anyways, it the lack of inquisitiveness, or just the lack of enough decency to ask questions, that have led them to this. And the whole country.
