Why is everything a narrative these days? That word comes up with ridiculous frequency. Do we believe we are part of some kind of Truman show experiment? As for it being a weather balloon, it seems they must be floating a lot of these ballo

Why though? Surely there is a reason they changed their sync process.

I stay subscribed because I plan to watch something but then don't get round to it. It's still in my mental calculations for staying subscribed even if it costs me. When they cancel the shows without finishing them, it leads to &q

At some point we may end up with a brain(s) used to control the metaverse? Tad Williams Otherland series felt ridiculous toward the end, now I'm not so sure.

Universities also employ academics (some of whom are outspoken toward CCP). Possibly Universities are doing this for more than one reason? For example to protect their staff given the recent articles about tiktok tracking of journalists

I don't think that would bother me with my kids. Is TikTok a necessity for school related activity? When I went to school, I couldn't access the internet. I had to wait until I got home.

I think it's unfair to say he was unproductive. Tolkien was an academic and didn't approach this in the same way a professional writer would today.

Your best option is to subscribe to drupalize.me and work through their content. (I'm not affiliated) Unfortunately the changes over the years with Drupal meant you can find guides online but they may be outdated. There is also a book

I did php and moved to other languages. I don't feel liberated. In fact php with composer and tooling is really good these days. Most people I've met (in person) who hate on php can't say why. They tend to equate php with wor

Dreamcast was amazing. Unfortunately most gamers didn't give it a look as they were too hyped for PS2 due to specs. Funny that for quite a while the dreamcast games were performing and looking better.

On balance there are measurable effects that substantially impact the person over their lifetime. More likely to not finish tasks, assignments, schooling (dropout or poor grades that dont reflect capability). Poor impulse management leading

It's like hearing a lot of noises up close and loud but then noticing they are far away. They distract you. The clock ticking. The tap dripping. The person on the other side of the office eating crisps. Ok, turn back to your desk and f

That's what concerns me the most. If cars become like long life computers. 8 to 10 year shelf life and then.. "oh we can't get an official battery replacement for that model anymore. Would you like an untrusted refurb battery

The unfortunate part is if you mention Peterson to anyone they automatically judge you, because there has been so much hysteria about the guy in media/social media. I got down voted, I want to clarify this is something I experienced.

Something was broken at Facebook for a long while. Before I stopped using it, my feed would show me content that had nothing to do with my social network. The algorithm was trying to keep my attention. My FB feed would not show me posts fro

I'm the same on icons vs text. I read the text label and "know". An icon is horrible as I find them meaningless, so I have to click or hover to check for tooltips. Another reason icons suck is that different apps use the same

Do you think this is propaganda? Perhaps it is just a bias of the writer or editor (speaker in case of podcast).

It's down to strategy. If you bought once, all in 1990 and did nothing and waited, then maybe that's a problem.

Feel the same. I wanted to buy an EV but my habit has been to buy a 10 year old car and drive it until it is 20 years old. EVs don't appear to fit well in that use case until batteries can be replaced affordably. Even then, the new mod

The quote from Kim Jong Gi reminded me of the quote from Tesla (as well as other notes I've read) because it seems to indicate that they can visualize at extremely high detail and do this at very high speed... while also accurately ret

People absorb b12 differently so while you may be doing well, another may not. It's good for people to be aware. As someone who experienced low b12, my doctor mentioned that some people develop symptoms and improve from treatment when

I'm not sure people who want community gardens are resisting this. It's more about being able to grow for yourself, should one choose to do so. There is a certain benefit to gardening. It is calming, while still remaining active p
