For two reasons: 1. I don't want to stay in a hostel. See below for more on this; but, hostels, at least the ones I have researched, have bunk rooms and shared facilities. Hard pass for me. 2. I don't like sharing a bedroom and, e

This is the response to most new technologies; folks simply don't want to accept the future before the ramifications truly hit. If technology folk cannot see the INCREDIBLE LEAP FORWARD made by LLMs since ChatGPT came on the market, th

Agree; I don’t see how this is anything but SQLite-esque. Other than -F for field separators, I see nothing awkish about this at all, but perhaps I didn’t go into the docs enough?

It’s a 600 ft home with electricity at 0.04kWh. As someone who owns a 400 sq ft uninsulated cabin in MN, with rates closer to 4x that, I can tell you it’s about $100/month to heat it with electricity. I guess, if the math holds, you wo

I only do the ones where they charge you for the phone but immediately reverse it as part of the contract; so, I'm net zero on phone charges aside from the contract which I'd have anyway.

They still are, in the same exact way: with contracts. I haven't paid for an iPhone with cash, ever; I only have to sign a multi-year contract, just like it was in the past. I am currently using an iPhone 16 for 'free' in thi

'We' voted for what 'we' got. The Democrats did not message well enough to win over the majority of the popular vote nor the electoral vote; full stop. So; if we are indeed an oligarchy and not a democracy, the majority

I think your comment is pedantic; while I appreciate pedantry, it's a bit absurd. It's a democracy; 'we' get what 'we' voted to have.

No; they want to have a distraction for their voters to latch their attention on to while they do other shit that is terrible. Previously: communists / abortion George Bush II: terrorists / LGBTQ+ / abortion Trump: immigrants

Depending on cost, I absolutely want them to take my money, but I have absolutely no intention of using it; it's just for good looks and gags.

I didn’t intend to imply the increased accuracy was the reason for the battery life drop; they were just statements about my experience with both and my ultimate choice to stick with the Apple Watch because of the accuracy and more advanced

I actually preferred my Amazfit over my Apple Watch for several largely surface reasons: 1. The battery life is absurdly good compared to an Apple Watch. I don't understand why Apple Watches continue to have less than a day of battery

I read, on average, 100 books a year. Anna Karenina was on my list for a long time and I read it back in 2023. With 100 books a year, I’m averaging two books a week. It took me three full months to make it through that slog; hoping to find

Cognitive dissonance, lack of critical thought, and self-introspection is an outcome of the Conservative push for education elimination. This is exactly why Conservatives feel educators are evil; they work to enable the ideals/traits i
