It’s also going to keep getting better and faster at it, too.

And Finnlandic

I pushed carts at a big box store for a year in my 20’s. Fucking sucked. In an 8 hour shift you could easily walk 20,000+ steps and walk over 10 miles (GPS verified). And you do it no matter the weather. Pouring rain? Out there. Sweltering heat? Out there. -5F and 6" of snow? Out there.
This work can be brutal, even for a young healthy person, let alone a 90 year old vet.
The worst part? I was paid the exact same wage as the cashiers who stayed inside the entire time. About $10/hr on average in 2017.

Something to keep in mind: Official support for the PS2 was only 12 years. The PS4 is now at 11 years.
It will most likely have a longer officially supported life than the PS2.

There was a video he did on a startup taxi service using self driving cars. Basically the entire thing was an advertisement for that company.
Then another Youtuber, Tom Nicholas, released a video about that a few months later and how it’s an issue. I’ll have to watch it again as I don’t remember what he specifically talks about.

Maybe that’s why younger people are getting certain cancers more often than in decades past.

We’ve had logging tariffs on them for a bit, especially at the start of the pandemic when lumber prices were insane and getting rid of them would’ve helped lower prices a bit.

It would be cool to see a sequel to Control. I want to learn more about this universe. And to work more with Ahti.

I can kind of answer this question. For a year, I worked at a big box store where you can “save big money”. They had periodic training and one of the modules was on their store card.
The question was, “Why do we want people to have our card?”
I replied, “Because we don’t have to pay the standard processing fees.”
“No, it’s because of loyalty. If they have a [big box store] card, then they’re much more likely to spend their money here instead of [competitor].”

I’m a 3 monitor person as well. 34" ultrawide as my main with two 24" widescreens side-to-side immediately above it. I use it for work and personal use.
Ultrawide has my main programs for work: internet browsers and job specific programs get about 60% of the real estate on the left, while pdf’s, and other less essential programs go to the right 40% of the screen.
The top left monitor gets Teams, Excel docs, or auxiliary browsers.
Top right gets email and media (YouTube, Spotify, etc) or any overfill if I’m dealing with a particularly cluttered job.

For personal, ultrawide is obviously used for games, movies, etc, while top left has task manager, MSI Afterburner, and Throttlestop (I run a laptop). And the top right has Discord.

I feel this would fit better under either Bone Hurting Juice or Speed of Lobsters. Idk if we have any communities like that here yet.

It was still allowed in certain forms if I recall correctly. It’s only really dangerous when it’s an airbirne particulate. So if you used it in a way that didn’t turn it into dust, then it was considered “safe” to use.
Interestingly enough, carbon fiber has the exact same dangers since it’s molecular shape is nearly identical to asbestos. So don’t breathe that in, either.

I remember reading about them. Those could be a game changer if we can scale them up. I’d use them as a fence if it’s feasible.

Ooh, I hadn’t considered these. So it may actually be more impactful than I thought.

The hard part about dropping solar installation costs is the installation part itself. It doesn’t matter how cheap the panels get, it’s always going to a few, to several, thousand dollars for the installation part alone. If we could find a way to streamline that (Idk if that’s possible), then I think we’d see prices plummet.

Don’t get me wrong, dropping panel prices is a very good thing. But I don’t think it will make as much of a dent in the price as we might think.

Given the natural progression of time, “dumb” cars will eventually become a non-viable option. Do we have any methods to keep them from tracking our driving habits?

Even then, this is still a solid 30-40% increase in downloads. That’s statistically significant right there.

I see a k following the numbers, so I’m assuming that’s total number of downloads.

Huh, I never knew of ARFID, but that fits me particularly well, especially as a kid. I will have to dig into this more.
For me, I found a relatively healthy comfort food (yogurt with granola; sometimes with berries) and have that for lunch most days. The granola makes it easy to load up on calories/carbs while it, and the yogurt, also provide a good amount of protein. Berries can add a bit of fiber. It’s always delicious for me. I’ve been eating it consistently for years now and I’ve yet to get sick of it. However if you’re lactose intolerant, this might not be a viable option.
Edit: reading the comments reminded me of another thing: protein shakes. I buy a container of whey protein mix from Walmart/Meijer and mix that with a glass of whole milk when I don’t have the energy to make anything. It is delicious. The strawberry one tastes like strawberry milk and the vanilla one tastes just like vanilla ice cream but in milk form.
Water can be used in place of milk if you don’t have any, or are intolerant, but it’s nowhere near as good; it’s just not the same.

It would be nice if I had more healthy comfort foods, but that’s a work in progress.
Otherwise I supplement with a multivitamin to make sure I’m not deficient in anything.
