If you are already comfortable with Claude, you might find it useful to make a JavaScript application using Claude and then have it explain what it just wrote.

For what it is worth, for little projects I will often use NodeJS to run JavaScript.

Half the guns are pointed at OP...

I'm not your guy, buddy!

My son also has no respect for me whatsoever. He doesn't like me, care about me, and finds me annoying. He straight up said, 'I couldn't give a fuck less about you or your opinion. The fact that you think I should care proves how utterly stupid you are.'

Are comments like this coming at you after you already have him crap for his ideas? He is probably lashing out.

I'll admit, I would be confused too if my son wanted to change his last name to something seemingly random.

However, you don't really have a choice. If they are hell bent on changing it, all you will do is alienate them, if you stand in their way. Eventually you'll become a father and son that never talk.

There's really only one option. Accept them. You can let them know that you are confused as hell, but that you will love and support them regardless. Anything else is doomed to fail.

Ahhhh the little sleeves in the crystal cases that you would read excitedly on the way home.

What gets me is the potatoes that are advertised as extra big...

"Extra dick!"

The economy has stagnated a lot. Fewer things are being made here, and those things that are, aren't really improving all that much.

It's no surprise that the car industry is being obliterated when they think innovation is unnecessary. The government will just bail them out anyway.

My health care experiences have been brilliant at least.

My biggest concern is the usual right wing swing when the economy falters. I live rural, and it is awful here politically. There are so many wonderful people... but then the big handful that throw out hate towards Turkish people. I even experienced a Notar throw out the N word like it's nothing during official proceedings once. I hope things get better.

For every person that managed to make maple syrup there must be several that made a stew from danger-mushrooms.
