I work in a customer facing position in the US where factions of an inch are used for measurements frequently in the design of a product. I deal with people who don’t know 5/8 is smaller than 3/4 or that 3/8 is smaller than 1/2 on literally a daily basis.
People are dumb and I absolutely believe the burger anecdote.
Currently? Back pain.
But in general my brain is dumb and does some dumb stuff.
The other night I wanted a nice cup of earl grey lavender tea to help me relax because I couldn’t fall asleep. Problem being was we had ran out of loose leaf tea bags. I dug out the small box of tea strainers we have collected over the year only to find out one hadn’t been properly cleaned and was slightly moldy. Others were surface rusted or tarnished.
My sleep deprived brain decided that the best decision was to pull out the dental picks, dremel tool, and other cleaning picks to get these tea strainers in tip top shape.
This is how my wife found me sitting on a bar stool hunched over the kitchen sink deep cleaning tea strainers at 3:30 in the morning.
This diagram is only missing that one super speed zone into another dimensions high speed internet that is hidden up in the attic during the season just before Christmas as you dig through your stored belongings and wonder why you have so many dumb yard inflatables.
I’ll be paying and having no second thoughts about it.
I know you all LOVE to scream “shiver me timbers” at the drop of a hat but for me it’s just to much hassle. At the end of a long day at work I don’t want to have to figure out if my torrents are properly managed or use potentially questionable websites.
What I want to do is come home, press the microphone button on my shield remote, tell it what I want to watch and let it go. No hassle, no fuss, I don’t care about anything so incredibly much that if it suddenly wasn’t available then I NEED to have it at any cost. To me that kind of “have to have it right now and at all times forever and ever” mentality is just as bad as the rampant blind consumerism that the majority of humanity seems to embrace. If I want something that bad I’ll find a way to purchase it physically.
I completely agree regarding AI being plastered on every piece of software tech. It is dumb and it makes people so much ND dumb and this is a hill I will absolutely die on.
Hijacking this with my mini rant: GOOGLE if you provide me with three possible routes to my destination and I specifically select one… DON’T FUCKING CHANGE IT MID-DRIVE GODDAMMIT!
I just left a job that paid $50/hr for one that pays $17/hr and I’ve never been happier. If the work conditions suck the money just isn’t worth it.
It happens every single time I ever search for anything on Amazon in the US. I have to search through pages and pages of shit knockoff items with fake reviews from other product listing created by “brands” with names that look like a cat walked across the keyboard.
Most the time the items are unrelated to what I’m actually looking for and are only showing up because their titles are “CIGNHKA Road Bike saddle seat chair seat comfort adjustment bike seat mountain seat, gravel, ideal, perfect use universal, black.” And then the description has even more word salad.
If you bother taking the time you can find 17 other brands selling the same identical item with the same markings and the same specs (sometimes with the same reviews) with the only change being the name on the product.
If I didn’t live in a very rural area that Amazon somehow still covers with their free shipping I would never shop their. I only shop on Amazon when I can find a specific item from a specific well known brand.
Awesome, thanks for the clarification on that. Some very good tips to put into action.
Sweet thanks for laying out a simple progression path.
How good have you found ChatGPT to be? My understanding is that sometimes it’s great but other times it’s way off base. Then you have to figure out what went wrong and you know how the saying goes “You don’t know what you don’t know.”
Wow, I had no idea that React Native basically ran most major programs in existence. Looks like it might be time to sit down and take some online courses/YouTube tutorials for this thing if I really want to get serious with this project.
Thanks!
Just. Don’t. Play. Kacky.
You will lose your cool and hate existence. Even if you like kacky it will happen at some point.
I play Hades, but I cheat.
It’s super fun to see what kind of ridiculous combinations of powers and weapons you can create when you aren’t worried about money or resources in any way shape or form.
I had a Hermes Build for Max speed that did bonus damage based on speed bonuses, Ares for Blade rift when dodging, and some Athena for some invulnerability.
Sprinting around the levels like the flash and absolutely nuking everybody with blade rifts is just too much fun.
I’m in full agreement here. I will always try to support the things I follow the most but probably my favorite thing about current media is finding a random person who does something incredibly niche and watching/listening a vid/song or two of theirs. I’ll come every couple of months or so but I’m not consuming their content regularly. Tutorials as you mentioned are a great example of this.
I did the math a year or two that if I paid a single dollar to every YouTuber I watch and musician I listen to on Spotify I would be paying around $400 a month. In an idyllic world I would have a stable job with enough expendable income to make that happen. In this reality I don’t see that as a possibility.
My sister uses it for both anxiety and sleep. It works wonders for her. I have tried every type of CBD supplement, oil, edible, shampoo, clothes, etc I’ve been able to get my hands on and have seen ZERO effect on me. Your mileage may vary.
Brother, skyrim has gotten insane. They now have in game vibrators that sync with REAL WORLD versions so you can feel the same thing IRL when it’s being used.
I had a captcha that had you click to place a single dot at the end of a line. They get weird sometimes.
Part of the reason people freak out is when somebody throws random stats out there:
GOLF COURSES USE 1 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER EVERY DAY. OMG!!!
What is neglected is the fact that in the USA just over 400 Billion gallons of water are used each day across all uses. Golf courses use a very tiny percentage in comparison. 0.0000025 id I did my math right.
I’m not sure I have a favorite composer because it really depends on what mood I’m in.
That being said, Requiem Lacrimosa by Mozart is the greatest piece of music in history.
I have absolutely no idea how he kept his feet on that board during the slide under the wall. Actually amazing.
