Personal experience? You ask it for the name of the paper referenced. You google that paper (for some reason it's not great at going out and acquiring the paper). You then upload the pdf and ask it if the paper supports the assertio

Vehemently disagree with this. One of the reasons I loved BF4 so much were the community servers, with admins that could kick cheaters / griefers, and you enjoyed playing with the same group of folks. It was also one of the (many) re

What? Look, things have gotten much better, but pc gaming, esp via proton is no where near as seamless as playing on console. In fact, I went with console + linux laptop for ages simply because that combo excelled at their respective rol

You're wasting your breath. It took me a long time to realize that folks on the other side of the isle had fully bought into the 'maximal short term interest' ideology of the business community. I no longer have very much t

Yeah, funny, all the people that turned away from EVs because the subsidies were going away suddenly realize that EVs and renewables are a much more resilient combo than being reliant on fossil fuels and their refining network.

'climate activists' wanted a revenue neutral carbon tax that would simultaneously lower everyone's income taxes. Thus giving people the ability to 'lower their taxes' with greener choices while the energy intensive

I will say, this past inflation spike has completely broken the assumptions I had from 1970s economics that employers would raise their 'cost of living' raises to keep pace with inflation. My employer seems to think 2.5% is fine,

I mean, we're about to enter a demographic reversal and to hear economists talk of it, corporations are going to really struggle to find the workers they need. I guess we're about to find out if they're desperate enough to of

The largest FIRE sub on reddit is aptly named 'financial independence' because FI is much, much more important than RE. The first post they link to on the sidebar is 'Build the life you want and save for it' https:&#x2F

I think you should really look up the amount of work the average european peasant was doing in the middle ages, and the amount of free time they had off. Or how much time hunter gatherers spend actually hunting or gathering. Or how meaningf

I've heard that you can expect your retirement to look a lot like your average weekend. If your weekends naturally fill with your hobbies and interests, I don't think you have much to worry about.

Eh, I value my time at a third my hourly comp. It helps me feel less guilty about hiring something out instead of doing it myself, or driving and paying for parking instead of taking transit and taking 2x as long.
