At a minimum AI regulation should model animal liability laws. If your dog slips out the fence and mauls somebody’s face off you’re liable for the harm. If your goats get out and eat someone’s garden, you’re liable.

It’s SBH, Suspicious Bastard Hypervigilance. It can’t be taught. It’s an emergent phenomenon arising from a combination of subject matter expertise, experience, knowledge of human nature, and mindset.

Corn is at least honest about how much moisture it’s spewing out. Beans just trap the moisture under the canopy turning the dirt into a clumpy muddy boot trap.

The RPG elements of DCC are really more WoW than DnD. So, geeky stuff of the Oughts rather than ‘80s/‘90s.

If you like series that “grow” in depth and detail give it a try. Book one to book eight is a real acorn to oak tree ride.

I took the first book for my World Con trip read and finished book eight last week. Once MD starts layering in the different surrounding character back stories and world building hooks the series really starts to suck you along.

I have a vague interest in a Pritzker/Walz ticket. It’s got a very midwestern “suburban dads cleaning up after the tornadoes” feel to it.

It’s a normal amount of rust for being out that long on a combat mission. It’s worrisome because there obviously hasn’t been even a minimal effort to pretty it up since it left that combat station. Normally they’d at least slap a coat of paint over the rust they couldn’t scrape off easy.
