The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Years ago, when things like the Freedom of Information Act were new, the news reported that you could write to the FBI to find out what they had on file on you. If, however, the FBI found it did not have a file on you, the news report continued, they would start one, to try to figure out why you asked.

Congratulation! Your fun probably got you investigated. Recent studies indicate that the old "six degrees of separation" meme is wrong. The real number is between 3 and 5. If you motivate TPTB, they can "connect" you to any scummy character they want to, and give you a one way ticket to CECOT. AI will make that job much faster and cheaper, lowering the barriers to doing it for anyone who attracts their attention. Feel better now?
