The whole job? No. But it’s a HUGE & FUNDAMENTAL part of the job, big enough that “Shephedizing” is taught in Year 1, and it’s one of the reasons why those using ChatGPT et alia as a crutch are getting sanctioned. And when you take a CLE (continuing legal education) course, the presenters...

When I took Oil & Gas back in the 1990s, our prof pointed out there’s clauses present in the boilerplate of the majority of Texas O&G royalties contracts that are poorly drafted and/or legally unenforceable (in his opinion), but have never been challenged in court. Part of this is because most...

I tried to run a Bloodsport-style martial arts campaign in HERO. People enjoyed the matches- even those just watching 2 characters fight at a time- but I couldn’t get enough of the group to finish making their PCs to run the campaign properly before we all got distracted by the next “new shiny...

At some point, some actions, images, words, etc. become so strongly associated with “evil” that using them in other contexts is going to be tainted for generations, if not centuries. “Rehabilitation” of them may not even be possible. As noted, book burning is one such action. It is almost...

I was inspired to try something I suggested in a post about one of my old standards: Memorial Day Dinner: Pork Chops, Potatoes & Onions Like the pork chop recipe, the sausage was cooked on a bed of potatoes and onions. Before being placed on the oiled cooking sheets, they were tossed...

Don’t. The likely political solution would likely involve cutting many corners. Like…instead of somehow getting to the asteroid, mining it, and sending back raw ore, refined metas or finished parts & products, they’ll decide to duct-tape some rockets on it and crash it in Utah to mine it down...
