I'm betting that it's a vet.

That's exactly what I was thinking. And this is actually the first time I've heard of some use of LLMs that I may actually be interested in.

I never understood this one. What kind of course would you be doing that required very expensive paid software, but you didn't know ahead of time that said software was required. I think the imaginary OP is just an idiot.

Best way to stay hidden is convince people that you never existed in the first place.

Yeah, that's why I said I'm in favour of maintaining government funding of science missions.

I view space development as very, very, very nice to have, but not absolutely essential. I would prefer to tax the shit out of the wealthy to pay for essential things at home (such as health care), and let private equity fund the nice to haves like commercial space travel. The exception would be for science missions. I'd prefer for the government to continue funding pure research, so that knowledge doesn't get gated behind pay walls.

The whole NFT/crypto currency thing is so incredibly frustrating. Like, being able to verify that a given file is unique could be very useful. Instead, we simply used the technology for scamming people.

Is your imagination really this limited?

Building a proper space station as a jumping off point for further exploration of the solar system, asteroid mining, He3 mining on the moon. These are just the basic things that are envisioned/planned. All of which would require commercial space travel to be a thing. I'd much rather we extract that funding from taking a couple rich people for a joyride as opposed to getting governments to subsidize it.

This is why I'm generally not a fan of prequels. Everyone has inherent plot armor, since we know for a fact that they survive.

As for Tolkien's universe, I can forgive a certain amount of plot armor, since he structured things to work that way throughout the stories. It's not just the show runners.

I have a "server" cobbled together out of old PC parts. I have proxmox running on it and Home Assistant is one of the VMs running on that machine.

Don't know, don't care. Canada and Brazil are in two very different places economically.

Health Canada, not FDA. And I'm not 100% sure if it's Health Canada that deals with those inspections or provincial authorities.
