7. You can liken this to saying "how many men with Irish last names rob 7-11s" and then rely exclusively on security camera video where the robber took off their mask and showed their ID to the camera. You only get the dumbest criminals if that's all the data you have. Thus "at least" $28B

Incredible video from Reddit (too large to upload the screencap). CBP agents attempt to detain a flower vendor and end up getting chased into a vacant lot by a crowd of teenagers. What a bunch of impotent sad sacks.

New from me + @teddyrosenbluth.bsky.social: Many people are using AI to try to fill gaps in the medical system, from rushed appointments to lack of doctor access to dismissal of symptoms. The gaps are real. So are the risks of AI hallucinations and sycophancy (yes, the sodium bromide case is here).

I'm putting together a small AdMech army for my partner and I have this thought regularly.
At least with Guard and Space Marines, some of the cool stuff can be used in 40K.
But all of the AdMech stuff is for units 40K just doesn't have stats for.
