I thought it was because my smaller town was overrun after COVID by transplants, but I'm hearing similar complaints from other places I was considering relocating to.
Perhaps the solution will be robocars where, if there's a potential road rage scenario, the passengers can duke it out in a VR headset session.
ChatGPT 6 Pro answered it without issue.
It always downgrades to Opus 4.8 because apparently solving Alzheimer's should be left to big pharma?
My afib ER trip three years ago cost me $7k out of pocket even though I left the hospital still in afib.
Today in my 50s, my deductible is now $8,500. My partner doesn't have insurance because she's not poor enough or rich enough.
We had an insurance rep come to my work last year who said after ACA they had some people whose premiums went up 900%.
So yeah, ACA is better in your world, but not in mine.

Greenland issues ‘strong warning’ as Trump-linked oil firm prepares to drill
I have one APOE4.
Her mother didn't get Alzheimer's until her mid-80s.
My mother died from Alzheimer's at 77 but wrote down her symptoms as early as 60, a full six years before her diagnosis.
Prior to her diagnosis, she walked her dog two miles a day, had an ideal weight, ate organic, never drank or smoke, used her brain constantly, and enjoyed a happy social life.
The only problem I saw with her was she was a very light sleeper.
Her aunt also died from Alzheimer's and was super healthy when diagnosed too.
Meanwhile the 103-year-old lady at my mother's former care facility is still sharp as a tack and reads daily without needing glasses.
If Iran does have underwater explosive drones, why would they boast about it and invite attacks upon that weapon and its deployment systems?
Still, if she's anything like other players, she's spent countless hours playing some of the most mindless Roblox games, and we've spent a few $100 on Robux gift cards over the years.
I always wonder who makes these decisions and whether they fancy themselves a designer.

Many on the right who had Obama Derangement Syndrome didn't know how well Obama's administration enforced federal immigration law.
I will contribute $$$.
My sense is that people have become less literate, less polite, and less patient.
Again, this is for a simple hobby so there aren't necessarily many intellectuals in this hobby, but 10+ years ago we had many lively, intelligent, long discussions.
What happens is you start getting more and more users who barge in, hijack threads, and do not contribute anything useful.
They can also be abrasive, which spooks the old timers from prior generations who were used to intelligent, polite discussion where they agree to disagree.
Eventually the quality content thins out, and there's a sort of Reddit effect where you get one solid reply for every ten useless ones.
These days I find most of the new users are just looking to find out what their collection is worth.
As those new users fill up screen space with vacuous content, the old timers are fading away either through attrition or illness or death.
On the technical side, you're constantly battling bots because your domain age and reputation is targeted by spammers.
