It almost never snows where I live. It's pretty remote, 4 roads in, 4 roads out of town. Hundreds of miles to a big city. Anyway, like 6 or 7 years ago there was a freakish huge snowstorm. Dumped feet of snow. Collapsed some roofs in t

Key generation time (for either type of UUID) is negligible compared to insert times. On the order of fractions of a microsecond for key generation as opposed to several milliseconds for inserts.

It tells you in the previous section: "UUID - even though always looks similar - comes in multiple variants. Java's UUID.randomUUID() - returns UUID v4 - which is a pseudo-random value. For us the more interesting one is UUID v7 -

Money has a tendency to corrupt. Maybe a "church" should only be allowed to have the amount needed to fund reasonable operating expenses (plus some emergency funds and charitable work). If you have more you aren't a church, y

I'd take it a step further (while allowing religious organizations to remain tax exempt still and even do politics if that's what they are into). The rule I'd like to see is this: A religious organization's total assets

The answer for fill in the blank equation is 7. I just made that up. It can be any value. (Just kidding. I assume a typo)

When we perceive something, anything, it comes to us strictly as a mental (or emotional or sensational if you like) projection. In other words, our perception is inevitably subjective and personalized. Now most of us can agree on many thing

If you are Jesus, maybe skip the crucifixion part this time?

I think you may have touched on the actual lesson of psychedelics: "I think the preponderance of evidence points strongly to these phenomena being purely mental" Agreed. Along with all phenomena anyone experiences in general. We a

I don't know exactly. Something about my feeling of "self" I think.

Surprised at the number of people saying "just do it"! For what it's worth I would never ink my body. Ever. I would sleep in the disposal hole of a porta potty first, that is how strongly I feel about it. I have nothing again

A reflective collar with a bell on the cat helps reduce (not completely eliminate but substantially reduce) bird (and lizard) deaths while still allowing the cat to catch mice and gophers pretty well in my experience.

Price of chicken feed is up as well which might explain locally jacked egg prices.

That used to be the case but not so much anymore. The last two times I have driven into Mexico I've been searched and questioned (granted not very thoroughly like the US side does). The took pictures of the vehicle/occupants and h

You can't fix adversarial disinformation with domestic disinformation. Trust in western governments is not great at the moment. The primary cause of this is probably not adversarial disinformation.

by mythrwy 3y ago
Attempting to fix the cracks in society itself (including the corruption and shocking lack of honesty from many western government officials) is likely to be more fruitful then attempting to stop adversaries from pointing the cracks out. If

I'm in the 46% that didn't read a book in 2023. But I probably read 3 or 4 hours (or more) a day. I used to read lots of books before the internet but the internet mostly replaced it. There are a few perspectives one can take. May

Disagree on RXJS. Oh how I loathe it.

But you have a self preservation instinct honed over millions of years of evolution and some unknown degree (but likely high enough) of socialization. Also, to be honest, you aren't that fast or accurate.

I know a guy that happened to. He was drunk and urinating by the side of the road in plain view and wound up registered as a sex offender. West Texas. This is his story that I've not independently verified, but I don't think he wa
