Talk to somebody about how you feel. A real person, not some randos on the internet. A person who is maybe qualified to give good advice. Sell the gun as well. The diversion with hard work at sea may sound like a solid plan right now. But it may not address the root causes for how you feel. And the feeling may not be improved while being tossed around by 100ft waves in the Indian Ocean or something in a year or two.

Before we gloat too much - and let's be honest, we all wanna - CEOs tend to be of a certain vintage. I remember how I could program the VCR and my parents decidedly could not. Old folks' opinions may be less relevant here.

Bringing all these tools in is basically giving magic beans to cave people. How would they know how to use them effectively? All the while trying to figure out if they are indeed magic. This, sadly, could just be the anomaly before the numbers go up. This isn't proof positive that it's all horse shit just yet. It's just confirmation that the peddlers are overflowing with it.

If you have noticed a political bias then you are a political person.

Absolutely. Thiel-backed is a red flag hoisted on a flagpole whose tip reaches just below the ISS, whose width is at least 1000 football fields long, which is illuminated at all times by 5000 spotlights, and which is simultaneously and counterintuitively on fire despite the lack of oxygen at that altitude.

I'm also getting my tax advice from Gonzo on LinkedIn.

What a sad state of journalism. Celebrity posted something on social. Opinions are divided. Commenters said this. Others said that. Thanks for looking at our ads.

She may be right, I dunno. I'm criticizing the publication and quality of the story, not the actor and alleged AI influencer.

You might want to look into what's called promession. It's a way to turn you into fertilizer.

Your question is hard to answer. Because when it comes to how corpses are dealt with, the rules aren't federal in the US. So you need to look at the states. And the rules for burials, release of the ashes, etc. are possibly set at county level. Likewise in Europe, the rules differ by countries and even within those by whatever subdivisioning applies. I looked it up for Germany, which has some federal rules about how to handle a corpse. But then 16 state laws on what is allowed in terms of final resting places. So far as I can see a Viking burial will not be allowed in places where cremation must happen at a specific temperature, the ashes may not be spread outside cemeteries, or other environmental laws forbid it. So that's basically nowhere then. Being shot out of a cannon will probably fail at an environmental hurdle or the fact that civilians can't own active military equipment.

I think this is a common language divided by an ocean thing.

I grew up with # being pound as well. The use of the pound symbol to highlight shit came from coding. Hash is another word for the pound symbol. It tags stuff. Ergo hashtag. Born in the glory years of Twitter.

Those thoughts are not crazy. I feel like that every time I take a picture off a bridge or tall building and I'm leaning over the edge to get a better angle. I found peace of mind in a lanyard strap.

That is a valid point. As the question has been answered already, I was just wondering what prompted it.
