I've always dreamed of a house designed to minimize cuts; walls exactly the right length to use full sheets of drywall, etc. The reality: it wouldn't save hardly anything, tradesmen are good at what they do.

Gentoo let me install mpg123 on a headless box without bringing in X, which is what pissed me off about RedHat at the time.

Isn’t everyone at the mercy of NVidia deciding that everyone has to use NVidAI and refusing to sell anything to anyone?

If there isn’t they’ve obviously missed an important and lucrative market. In fact, there should be more and more secret tiers for bigger and bigger money.

I'm stuck on what the concept of a "slave animal" even means.

Claude got very mad at me and burned more tokens than exist to complain about me asking about a "yellow background cell" in an excel spreadsheet.

I have the opposite problem; pasting anything moderately substantial into VSClaude ends up sending an image.

I feel you have to watch your plans like a hawk, because as a pension crumbles there's often a window of opportunity where they offer to "buy you out" (basically turn your DB into a DC mid-stream) - and sometimes the deal sho

The real key will be to discover how to run a city simulation such that it doesn't all have to be "active" at the same time (e.g, the opposite of the Factorio simulation).

SimCity 4 not only has a native Mac build, but it has an applesilicon one (I believe you have to enable a beta flag somewhere). Pretty impressive for a game released in 2003 . Oh my goodness SC4 is 23 years old. I'll go be old in th

Cities Skylines has pretty decent simulation and it uses quite a bit of raw CPU horsepower, but it only really shines with tonnes of mods (just like SimCity 4 before it). Realistic traffic is always the bane of these simulators.

Yep, and if you're starting on your own, you might as well get new equipment and such built and made for you. Same thing happened with a restaurant - nobody wanted to buy the business so it shut down, even though you could have bought

Because the pain is bearable and not too much. If it becomes too much, things actually happen. (This is the dark side of financialization, as it can be used to maximize human misery.)

Some of those are for purchase and not refinance, but the reality is in almost all states (even those that are not single-action by statute, where single-action is "they can go after you, or the house, but not both") are practical

That's exactly HOW rental properties are (supposed to) be bought! Most small-time single family landlords actually go above and beyond that and "pretend" the rental is a house they're buying to live in (or actually is, f

The thing is those businesses can't really be "sold" because they make enough money to support a few families, but they can't do the same AND carry the debt-load necessary to buy it. So they can only really be inherited

I knew of a family-run hoagie shop that sold to "investors" (not sure if it was PE, probably was) three times, each time they ran it to shit amazingly quickly, and they were able to buy it back for a song and fix the damage.

Most (if not all) gov't pensions still have the defined benefit part as the "optimal" choice even when they offer defined contribution plans. They can also offer some really nice benefits like accessing your pension income at

It goes beyond boomers (the boomerdoomer is already in full swing) - as they're dying off, most new employees do not have pensions (instead having defined contribution plans which have their own issues) - except for a few very large

Because if you're hired as pension manager, and you just shove all the money into VTI, you're going to feel like you're doing nothing, and eventually someone will notice your job is redundant, even if you're outperformin
