I wish I had your faith in humanity. Yep there are people that would burn more out of spite. And even more that would elect people being for moderate or no climate action.

I’m actually quite interested in dress history. I’m an engineer at heart and clothing is fundamentally also an engineering problem (and design of course). It’s an area of engineering that was always dominated by women and you can sometimes see the novel approaches that brings.

For example historical corsets were actually quite comfortable when fitted right. One reason why is actually breast support. Predecessors to the modern Bra did exist but were not in fashion as a more compressed looking bust and later a shaped silhouette was in fashion.

Also it’s cool what tricks one can use to form the silhouette without extremely compressing the waist (which is how many modern people often think is the function of a corset).

I recommend Bernadettes channel on this topic: link

Welcome to the world of B2B where 98% of products are listed nowhere and of those products you get a listing the price is either hidden or not the price anyone really pays.

Do yourself the favor and upgrade to mpv

I’ve not studied this but I see a solution in contracting other businesses to do the labor required. Something like a collectively owned customer service business.

For the record I did not down vote but I can see how people dislike this kind of over enthusiasm for drugs still in trial. Many people got burned before by false hope :(

Is it? Haven’t watched it yet unfortunately

I really wish to see more accurate depictions of military life. Strangely competent in some areas but at the same time mundane incompetence everywhere.

It would probably be boring though.

Flying is still the safest mode of travel.

Funny Gentoo actually was my gateway to arch. Loved the customizability of Gentoo and the rolling release model.

But building Chrome and Firefox (I needed both for work reasons sometimes) every update was the nail in the coffin. Switched to Arch and didn’t miss a thing.

They learned of it after it happened per the article.

Why shouldn’t they count? It’s literally testing a nuclear weapon. The clock does not say: “Time since the last detonation of a nuclear weapon”.

Edit: But one could argue that nuclear weapons get tested all the time without any kind of detonation. These should count too IMHO.

Edit: just read another article on the tests. They happen to design new weapons with them which makes them not tests to see if the nukes still work like I thought.

Yep optix works on Linux. Blender is also generally faster in Linux btw.

Because people that don’t care about privacy find this to be a nice feature.

There are gallery apps that let’s you sort by location and it’s nice if you want to search for the cool thing you saw once again.

I want to add that an annoying character can act morally totally OK but still be disliked. That is because the annoyance is real and their actions and their consequences are not.

You could have a saintly character that always does the “right thing” but if they have an obnoxiously annoying way of speaking (extrem high pitch, extremely slow or fast or something) I would still dislike them.

That is because I actually get annoyed watching the character while I do not react that harshly even to a drug kingpin as the consequences of their action is fictional.

I have that kind of feeling of annoyance for skyler. I really do get annoyed at her controlling and arrogant way to handle things as it reminds me of real people. I do believe that this was intentional to make her unlikeable on first glance.

No matter how moral or “normal” her choices are the consequences are still fictional while my annoyance is real.

Edit: irl the situation is of course reversed. The consequences are real and the annoyance temporary.

Someone is putting a lot of work into including/inviting you.

Yea my first respond would also totally be: “Fuck that person in particular” /s

Single board computer or SBC for short.

I think I’ll also settle for eternity. It does feel different than liftoff and rif but not impossible to get used to.

OK maybe not everybody but you can always wait for your inheritance, right?

Edit: do I really need to add /s? Or why the downvotes?

A fucking house is “little to no life savings”? Can you hear yourself?!
