Hell, I bruised my hip bone once at a martial arts seminar. The next-level pain I felt from just that make me worry for when I’m dumber/older and need a replacement.

Looking at trending, it’s 50-50 I’ll be fine into my 80s or be 4-joints-bionic by 70. Nothing in-between.

Not being paid for the time? Not using company gear? No problem.

Sometimes you don’t wanna be homeless and starving.

Canada has about 1.8 million new vehicle sales per year. It’s not impossible to serve a market that small, but a lot of profits in the auto industry are due to their ability to scale.

A market of only 5000 cars a day?!? That’s peanuts.

Is … is that your point? That 5000 cars A DAY is somehow small?

I like the limit at 1, only because there’s no embiguity then. One. The rest you pay tariffs.

Make it 10 years; none of this “until Trump stops being a baby” nonsense. 10 years will push someone into starting a plant.

I’m finding that distros like Nobara make it easy to run windows apps in a comfy, reliable environment, as they bundle wine and some tuned launcher apps. In my case it’s games, but I bet if I can play Diablo - by a company known for really janky networking code - then lots of other apps may work really well.

Do what you need, but know the solution may already be ready when you are.

“why are all these centipedes and beetles in the house all of a sudden? Why are we getting so many mice?”

(Leaf litter is cover for lots of things)

I had a sergeant who sneaked up on some troopies based on the light from the unshielded radium pips on someone’s wristwatch.

(Why yes. He was 22me regiment; why do you ask?)

But, point is, you didn’t take a flashlight because the light was enough, and your eyes adjusted and made it enough, because it was enough.

Anyway, 10 years of doubling is 1000x. 6ooo fireflies would be cool.

they don’t bread all that fast

Well they’re toast, then.

After it’s all put back the way it was, I want to see plaques all over the place for the irreplaceable things he trashed

On this site the historic commemorative trees were demolished by Donald Trump on 24 October 2025 to make space for the Epstein Ballroom. The trees had been carefully tended for 103 years on the day of their death, having survived a economic depression, war after war, and 26 presidential terms with leaders of both parties.

Something like that. We can hope someone relocated them to a park or even a backyard, but they probably became the sawdust in the authentic vomitorium.

trying to convince my uncle

How much is Ai coursework is barely concealed proselytizing? The Ai course the shop is pushing on us is a cheesy seminar that apparently plays like a timeshare pitch.

A human called me back later but I had already scheduled

I hope you were sympathetic but firm when you mentioned why – and suggested you’d try them again so they knew there was hope if they ditched the broken agent. Let’s leave people with some hope! :-D

THIS IS CULTURAL APPROPRIATION.

the couple can send their son, Jason

You’re thinking the New Jersey Voorhees. They lived on Shades of Death Rd.

I want a mod for everything that just makes Morgan Freeman narrate it all.

Hell, that’s kinda the only voice I want to hear if we ever have Ai speaking to us.

What relevance does that have?

Well, exposing the click bait in the title and providing context about the actual study involved is relevant because …it exposes the click bait in the title and provides context about the actual study involved.

Plenty of studies in the past have already demonstrated dietary plant protein is just as good for you as animal protein.

This is not relevant to the context of the article, and like the vegan at a party, it’s good information but not part of the discussion about protein supplements during strength training except as an adjacent fact about diet and not about strength training directly nor supplements.

workers in middle America who don’t make near as much as the govt workers or workers on the coasts / in cities do

Those are two different things. Gov workers, especially if unionized, aren’t living large; maybe contractors will be ‘on par’ with outside jobs because their job is an outside job. But internal gov workers typically make noticeably less than their external counterparts because their either union or they work for that higher-purpose feeling and their bosses have optimized wages down to suit.

For example, even though I’m a contractor to merely a gov-adjacent group, I work a 200k job for barely half that. And yes, the dead sea effect is chronic. (But I am union, so I get perqs)

Anyway, gov people will feel a crunch very early too, as “care for our fellow human” isn’t a payment option at Kroger.

a self-written tool to extract my images and videos from Apple Photos and back them up incrementally

This is VERY interesting. Do you have a project on, say, gitlab, with this code?

If you confuse the noun and verb form, or just forget that space, the conjugation then falls over.

I don’t use GAFAM storage.

Without dereferencing that acronym, I’m not sure whether I’m using GAFAM storage either.
