I'm working on it, but a lot of my issues stem from repetitive motion injuries.

Crossing the street in Vietnam is the weirdest experience: you just slowly shuffle out, and this literal sea of mopeds parts around you like a school of fish around a shark

Lol. I had these guys beat in terms of hours, and their job was nowhere near as physical as mine was.

Now I get to be a desk jockey, and it's fucking sweet. Gonna milk it, because I put my hours in.

In my case, it's the combo of way, way to much walking in work boots and then later doing a lot of sitting. gotta shorten up those hip flexor, bae

I showered every day, but it didn't help much. Didn't help that the camp shower were effectively just someone spraying you with a high powered squirt bottle on the mist setting. 1000 psi, all mist.

Did they make a paper air plane out of that letter? The creases look like it

This is the most accurate thing ever. I'm pretty sure I still have dirt in some of the creases of skin, and I haven't been in the field for 3 years

This is a brilliant comment - thanks for the laugh

How do they brute force their way to a better algorithm? Just trial and error? How do they check outcomes to determine that their new model is good?

I don't expect you to answer those musings - you've been more than patient with me.

Honestly, I'm a tree hugger, and the fact that we aren't going for nuclear simply because of smear campaigns and changes in public opinion is insanity. We already treat some mining wastes in perpetuity, or plan to have them entombed for the rest of time - how is nuclear waste any different?
