ministerial duty

Read a random definition: security agreement

A quick definition of ministerial duty:

Ministerial duty is a type of duty that requires a person to do something without using their own judgment or discretion. It is a legal obligation that must be fulfilled, and failure to do so can result in liability. This term can also refer to taxes or fees imposed on imported goods or transactions.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A duty that requires neither the exercise of official discretion nor judgment.

Example: A police officer directing traffic at an intersection has a ministerial duty to follow established traffic laws and procedures. They do not have the discretion to make their own decisions about how to direct traffic.

This example illustrates that a ministerial duty is a specific type of duty that does not involve decision-making or judgment. Instead, it involves following established rules and procedures. This type of duty is often found in government or official roles where there are clear guidelines that must be followed.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalgona I just learned about these things. Apparently they’re featured in Squid Game, but I think Squid Game is just a ripoff of the original Mr Beast Games
I learned today the term fight fire with fire comes from the early day of fire fighting when departments would just bulldoze buildings and then burn them in an attempt to stop a fire from spreading. So to stop fire from burning shit they would burn down other buildings in a more violent and destructive way thus lowering the fires moral so much it refuses to spread and work.

that's like basically how wildland firefighting still works
I did wildland and most of the time it was controlled burns but it is pretty funny to imagine doing that in a city/neighborhood.

The Santa Ana winds kinda helped with that because it pushed the fire back to where it had already burned despite the news media saying everything was going to get worse like the idiots they are.
Cant imagine being the guy to be like "hey so to keep your neighbors house from burning down we are going to bulldoze yours and then catch it on fire"
