Someone will always have to vouch for the AI output. (Similar to vouching for a spreadsheet, or a financial statement) The value of that vouching is based on trust. “Does this person have my interests at heart?” Which gets back to relationships and kindness.
Won’t this worsen the glut at a time when LLMs are already doing so much legal work?
Other countries with 4 year undergrad law degrees have very stringent entrance or exit exams. (Which causes artificial shortages)
What’s a good solution?
For people expecting to make a lot of purchases at the destination. Markup has to be crazy to justify the overhead.
Interesting choice. Outstanding though I have no idea how you made the connection. Is this AI assisted at all? You’re much better than my AI! And you didn’t take the easy suggestion of Vehicle by Ides of March.
I remembered that repeating decimals come from one 9 in the denominator for each repeating digit. I supposed I could’ve proven it with algebra, but it was just memorizing a shortcut.
Hearing you talk on the @athletor podcast about the impact of wrestling on your life seemed like a stretch. Then I heard you on this show and thought, “Wow, wrestling gave him this!” Announcing like a king, and living your best life!

I went to In-N-Out and ordered a cheeseburger. The cashier, a calm young woman named Destiny, asked me a question I did not expect.
"You want that Animal Style?"
I paused.
I did not know what this meant. But a samurai does not admit he does not know. So I answered with weight.
"...Animal Style."
"Cool. So that's mustard-grilled, extra spread, grilled onions, pickles. Yeah?"
I understood now. This was a sacred permission. For one meal, I was being told to put down my manners at the door. To eat the way a beast eats, without shame. I had waited my whole life for someone to give me this order.
"Yes," I said. "I will become the animal."
Destiny did not blink. "...Okay. You want your fries Animal Style too?"
I stopped. Even the potatoes?
"The potatoes also become animals?"
"I mean, they get cheese and sauce and grilled onions, so..."
"Then yes. Let the potatoes abandon their restraint as well."
"...Got it." She was the calmest woman I have ever met. "3x3, 4x4, or just the one?"
I did not know these numbers, but I knew a challenge when I heard one. "How many must I face?"
"It's, like, how many patties you want."
"How many is the most honorable?"
"...Four is a lot."
"Then four. A warrior does not ask for fewer."
She wrote it down without argument. A 4x4, Animal Style, with animal fries. She warned me once, kindly. "That's gonna be huge." I told her I was counting on it.
It arrived. It was a tower. Cheese and sauce ran down my hands the moment I lifted it. There was no clean way to eat it. There was no dignified way. That was the entire point.
I ate it like a beast. Both hands, no honor, grilled onion on my chin, and I have to be honest with you, it was the best thing I have ever put in my mouth.
For thirty years I have kept my manners at every table in the world.
They handed me a burger and told me to be an animal, and I have never felt so free.
So tell me, America.
The whole country knows the secret menu. What else are you hiding in plain sight?
And "Animal Style." Was I eating the animal, or finally becoming one?
