It’s funny too, because research doctors have been finding systems in the body that we didn’t know about until very recently. I have no doubt that there are treatments like acupuncture that interact with these or other systems that we’re cu

I think everything spies these days, I don’t know why the government is not just cutting all of that off with privacy laws. They’re attacking the heads but this stuff is like a hydra. Just pass a comprehensive law against data harvesting an

You seem to want to make this particular state of mind achievable only by the Gods or something, but being in a flow state isn’t hard, and you’ll know it immediately by the way it feels. Edit: I might be overstating the ease of getting into

Elite athletes don’t own the idea of flow, flow is simply deep, deep focus on an activity that you are doing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)

Meditation, for me, is getting into a flow state doing just about anything I want to do. Sometimes I spend hours sim-racing, woodworking, or coding and after being in flow for those several hours, I feel exhausted from the mental and physic

The military isn’t some place you send miscreants who always misbehave, most of us wanted to do our best and your description of it is petty insulting and inaccurate. We worked together to attain a goal and fight alongside each other, not b

> General staff morale is very low, in that low payed sector. So pay a reasonable wage that actually boosts the morale of the security staff to ensure they do their best and not just act like a velvet rope?

I was going to say they should send them to places like Alaska where you still need big diesel generators for backup because solar and batteries are hard to use in the cold dark weather, but the engine is disabled so you can’t do that. Peop

How would you even come to that conclusion???

It’s probably a bit of everything we said here, plus cargo culting. WFH is probably more effective for some individuals and orgs and offices for others. I personally need it, because where I live has no real software dev jobs.

The CEOs also have investments and buddies with investments in CRE, not to mention the companies themselves with the actual offices. Probably it’s more about the real estate than anything else.

Probably a situation with stuck up neighbors most of the time. If you’ve heard of the homeowners association problem in the USA, this could be the cause. Having rotting fruit is fine for the soil and everything, but the stick up the butt ne

The USA wastes so much power! I’m saying we need to use less and bring everyone up to THAT standard, but today every bit of energy added is going to be used for useless bullshit. You’re simply avoiding my main point, where additional power

I do purchase things I don’t need, and I’d like to do less of that. Anyone who was happy many years ago was successful in life, happiness and satisfaction is important. Your arguments do not convince me that the toxic wasteland that is adve

Don’t go talking about “humanity” needing power, all of the power being built is so the developed countries can write books with LLMs and other stupid shit. Humanity might need more power some places, but it’s uneven and that probably won’t

Using power meaningfully, sure, but Bitcoin and AI are not meaningful. Using power to make steel or to use tools to make lives easier IS meaningful. Red tape in nuclear is there for a reason. I don’t trust anyone to do nuclear without tons

Sad part is that devops was never meant to be a title, just a way to work together effectively as a team that included developers, qa, ops, pm, etc. Devops was much like agile, they were great ideas and ways to work, but then got cargo cult

The GP would have had to appeal only to the expert’s opinion, with no actual evidence, but the GP actually gave a lot of evidence to the expertise of the researcher in the form of peer reviewed papers and other links. That’s not an appeal t

I’ve been advertised something that actually removes a problem I know about in my life, just for made up “problems”. If I don’t know a product or service exists, why do I need it? My life is fine as it is, I don’t need stupid advertisements

Okay then where are all the nuclear power plants being built right this minute today? Don’t give me like two examples, there was about 30GW of solar alone added last year, which is 10-15 plants a year for nuclear.

by ok_dad 2y ago
Yes, the powers that be have ignored the issue of nuclear materials sitting on site at power plants for decades, I’m not sure it’s a good idea to make 5 or 10 times more of the stuff at other sites and trust that the actual knowledgeable ex

Plenty of people publish actual open source software, the definition isn’t the problem, it’s the people who misuse it that are the problem.

I think the best racing is even smaller, like TCRs, Mazdas, and Clio cup. The series you mentioned are great but they’re all open wheel formula racing, which is fast and tends to be less about car to car racing and more about perfection and
