I assume you’re being hyperbolic. There’s no world where gambling is more likely to pay the bills than working, even if the value proposition of working is so bad right now. Gambling is always worse.

I did as well, 10 years ago ish. Spent many a morning and evening jogging along that path. Man I miss Tucson. Bear down!

Is that Tucson???

So not that I like insurance companies (I very much do not) but this seems odd. I do histiotripsy, which is super cool! It allows us to treat certain tumors that could be difficult to get otherwise. But… histiotripsy is can be substituted with lower cost treatments almost always (Cryo or MW ablation) and if curative possibility were present with histiotripsy then another treatment modality would be feasible too.

Never said he deserved life in prison- I said he doesn’t deserve a reward. Again, you’re reading too much into what I said and are projecting an awful lot. My point is the kid did a bad thing, he doesn’t deserve praise. How hard is that to understand?

That’s a straw man, stay on topic. Nobody should hurt people for money. Saying that this kid deserves a nice job as a reward is just a sycophantic as the right covering for trump.

You romanticizing a situation that doesn’t deserve it. Skilled or not- he hurt people for money. He’s not a Robin Hood fighting the evil corporatists or government.

This kid didn’t hack into school systems to change grades- he was extorting millions of dollars from large and small companies to buy drugs and jewelry. I think you are missing the gravity of what he did.

Fedora silver blue ftw. Immutable systems are the future.
