I'd go to you for information before I'd go to the people who say, "It's really all pretty simple..."

The analogy isn't a perfect one.

For Climate Change it's a question of opportunity costs. With expected inputs how much will temperature change? What are the effects of that change? How much effort to you put into changing the inputs? How much effort do you put into dealing with the effects?

The biggest difference is that Climate Change is a deeply political question with a bit of science tossed in. Alzheimer's is the mirror opposite - it's a scientific question with politics added to the same degree of most other things.

If you get a camera ticket at 41 mph it's because you're driving in a zone where the limit is 30 which sounds pretty residential to me. Is that more or less dangerous then doing 76 mph on a highway? I don't know, it's the difference between hitting a pedestrian and another car so less dangerous for you but more dangerous for the other person involved.

Seems like they should have phrased it differently, like "...he pilots a 4,800-pound RAM 1500 truck at more than 41 mph across through residential areas..."

Some people in the thread are claiming he's not in fact paying the tickets. I don't know if that's true or not but the people I see on the road acting that willful generally have look to have put some forethought into it i.e. they have their license plate obscured.

I must be an old man because if I _could_ speed that much I don't think I would. I have gone over the posted limit but I find it stressful - part of that is I'm looking out for cops/cameras but part is when I'm going that fast I'm generally a bit more on edge because anything that'll happen is going to happen that much faster plus everyone else on the road is going so much slower.

I always think about that Simpsons quote about alcohol "The cause of... and solution to... all of life's problems"

That's how I feel about copy-paste. Nothing is ever so janus-faced.

Oddly I went hiking with my then girlfriend and discovered that I'm not great at altitude. I believe I told her that she should go on to the top and I'd just sit down and take a break. Maybe a nap. To her credit she saw that for awful idea that was and instead slowed down and encouraged me onward.

I'm not saying that's why I proposed but it definitely didn't hurt. It was just one more instance that reality threw in my face that the two of us worked well together.

This is the question I'd love to see asked to people running for President. Name something you think the States can do that the Federal government is prohibited from doing.

The answer isn't something we should accept as an opinion, though. For example, laws prohibit the federal government from (direct) involvement in elections.

I think you are confused. The constitution explicitly grants Congress the right to pass laws regulating federal elections:

  > The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

I won't mention the product but supposedly one brand has the size huge, giant and jumbo.

Is the issue that there's no there there - or is that LLM chatbots are just not good enough? If they (as they sometimes remind me of ) weren't like a golden retriever that will happily agree with you about anything as long as you keep throwing the ball would it all be better?

On one level it would have to be be but if there's "no there there" then fixing that flaw would just raise a different one.
