My ex may have tipped over a Can-Am Spyder.

I sure wish that I knew what happened, but maybe a roll cage would have saved her.

I had A.I. write an obituary for her last night.

Apparently she commanded the U.S. Nimitz and singlehandedly defeated the pirates of the Caribbean.

I had no idea!

Sorrowful for your loss.

The Arcimoto laywers demand that it be called an 'upper frame'. I'm scornful because all a roll cage does is prevent crushing. An aeroform [stainless steel] monocoque might look like this:

Thanks.

It is weird how I am trying to use A.I. to work through baggage.

I have long worried that a student was abused, so I asked it what the warning signs were and apparently chat bots are programmed to shut down when you mention abuse.

I could have just used Google, but I wanted to talk about it.

Apparently if you have any concerns you are immediately required to contact CPS, although there was a scandal in 2014, it was dissolved, and the Arizona Department of Child Safety was created.

An ex worked for them and we saw a car with "Defund CPS" and drama like that written on it. I asked "That parent messed up?"
"Yup. The stupid thing is it hasn't been called CPS in years."

Mom was watching a show where something unlikely happened and someone wondered out loud "What are the odds of that happening."

Then two associates, who intensely disliked each other and insisted they were nothing alike, attempted to calculate the odds.

I don't have any idea how one could do that.

Ask C3P0, Data, or someone.

My student did things that just didn't seem right, but I attempted to redirect her and help her find her voice.

Talking to anyone about it seemed to carry incredible risk, with no potential reward.

I had worked with an adult in a day program who always acted excited to see me and cooperated happily, but one day she was upset and wouldn't work.

I finally got her to tell me what was wrong--someone abused her.

I called my boss as soon as I got to my car, he told me to file a report, and I did as soon as I got home.

It seemed like everyone followed up quickly and I hoped that my client would be able to move on.

The next week I showed up for my appointment and the boss called me into his office. He told me that sometimes my client made up stories to get attention, looked over my shoulder, and said "Isn't that right, [client]."

She said "Uh huh!" and acted happy.

Within a week the office told me that client no longer wanted to work with me.

Did she truly make up the story or did the boss make her say that?

I don't have any idea, but dropping a therapist immediately after the client told him she had been abused and he filed a report right away seems like retaliation.

I also tried to discuss some things that happened to me years ago, but still bother me.

I am sure that my sister would say "Move on!"

That is her answer to everything.

However, she has complained about worse things happening to her.

I hope that nobody tells her to move on.

I want to move on, but the A.I. shuts down instead of responding "I am sorry. How do you feel about that? Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh."

I should redo these in Blender, I'm still coasting on work from 2013:



I like this layout for windows -- good situational awareness forward and skylighting in the [motorhome scale] living area.

Only incels have an interest in sex bots, which is not to disparage incels, only pointing out that he is wrong to think everyone wants something he wants.

Half of my enjoyment comes from her enjoyment, which makes a bot a non-starter for me. Also why prostitutes and rape are unappealing to me. I'm fortunate to not have those destructive interests.

I think the point was that you can always ever get what you want.*

I found an .OBJ of the [wooden] motor home and opened it in Blender. So far I've widen the front wheel track and eliminated that ghost door. I still haven't got a handle on lighting it.

edit:
*maybe it's what Tom Wait meant
You can never go back
And the answer is no
And wishing for it only
Makes it bleed

If anyone is near Eugene and want to go to a Q&A on May 13th, it will follow a rally drive at 11am (about noon) and will be at Ninkasi.

I've heard from Munro that the FUV passed the moose test.

Thanks.

I will have questions about the MLM, it's more my price range.

Are you enjoying your FUV?
