You should check out brain.fm The whole site is basically non vocal. Music, but it’s engineered to get you to focus. When I first saw it, I assumed it was just some gimmicky way to advertise, but I swear it actually helps me to focus better. But yeah. Sounds like you’d enjoy the music they provide.
It’s very hard to tell, but I’m guessing the middle one is gpu exhaust. So two outs, one in
Ok telekinesis would be cool.
But I’m going with 2 and 6.
2 because my short term and long term memory is really bad (compared to most other people), which is makes college and work extremely difficult. Also, it’d be nice to remember my anniversary. So a cute would be awesome even if it comes with some downsides. I’m pretty good about accepting things and not getting thing up on stuff.
6 is great because it can be similar to perfect health. I think that can be interpreted two ways, immortalality or perfect health RIGHT NOW. I don’t really want to live forever. That only seems to have downsides. so I’d rather an extra 8 hours in my day where I can devote some of that to working out and eating healthier. I do that now, but I’m too busy to be as consistent as I’d like.
Same here. Steam says 200 hours. Which is a lot for me. The next closest is NMS at 50 hours.
My play time is also higher because I have played many hours offline and then reset my computer so it didn’t track that time.
It’s such a ridiculously addictive game. I regret nothing.
For real. Also 29 and have been taking night classes. After 2 years of school Ive changed my mind again. I just have no idea what I actually want to do.
I grew up always being told I was really smart and would go places. So I’ve built my life goals around trying to do something “grand”. I’ve only recently realized that I don’t HAVE to do anything. It’s OK to just exist and enjoy life. I’m still struggling to fully accept that, but I think I will eventually.
Combine that with fortune and throw it in your bash script and you get a new message every time you open terminal.
Oh boy. Similar story for my wife and me. Now we’ve got 3 gaiwans, 4 yixing clay pots, and two cast iron pots. And now we do a little tea ceremony everyday. It’s a great way to just sit together and chat without other distractions.
Up voted for this. I have a bunch of Yolink products. It all works seamlessly. I’ve got motion lights setup. I have my bathroom exhaust fan set to turn on at a specific humidity level. I’ve got their door locks, garage door opener. Hell, I’ve got the float switch set to tell me when my dogs need more water.
They have so many products and they all work together very well. It truly feels like a smart home now and it’s all the same brand so I don’t have to worry about compatibility problems or using a third party software. I do have them linked to home assistant for the few things I have from other brands. But I can’t reccomend Yolink enough
This comment reminds me of the Eichmann trial. He wasn’t inherently evil like we want to believe. He was just a man doing his job, sending jews to their death. It’s pretty chilling to think about the evils he carried out when he was just doing what he was told to do.
Another somewhat counterpoint, I think in today’s society it’s harder than it traditionally has been. Specifically, I would love to go to protests and be more active. But for me it’s really hard to do that because I have obligations. Specifically, I can’t take a week off of work to go to DC and hold some signs. It’s not that I’m refusing to do anything, I just don’t have the time when I’m more worried about my mortgage. I do donate to charities but it’s very difficult to do much more because of debt.
I’ve got two:
“The apocalypse is not something which is coming. The apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet and it’s only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating the apocalypse.” by Terence McKenna
And the other is from an old salty chief when I was in the navy. This is paraphrasing but:
“Every fuck up comes down to a combination of three root causes: didn’t know, didn’t care, or a material problem”
Someone gets hurt on the job? Well, did they not know they were doing something wrong? Did they not care enough about safety? Or was it simply because something broke? Maybe they didn’t know AND they didn’t care to find out.
Let’s not forget that Nixon also got the controlled substance act passed in 1971 and kick started the war on drugs.
I’ve been doing that for things like shampoo and detergents. But unfortunately I’ve got celiacs. All my food HAS to be packaged so that I know it’s safe to eat.
Set up a Minecraft server back when you could run the Java files off of a USB. ran for a while, nothing fancy.
I also renamed every calculator icon to “cockulator”. Boy oh boy did I think that was funny back then. (it’s still a little funny)
I guess I should try wefwef. Connect has been working nearly perfectly for me for the last week or so and the dev keeps adding new features. I think I might be loyal already.
My favorite has always been that falling coconuts kill more people than sharks
It’s not super niche, but I’ve never met anyone outside of the hobby that even knows it exists.
Anyway, I enjoy car audio competitions a lot. One version is SPL (sound pressure level) where the goal is to build a system that can get as loud as possible. Then there’s SQ (sound quality) that’s more about making the best sounding system you can, which is also fairly artsy (make it look pretty).
There’s a lot of people who are assholes about it, they’re the kid down the street blaring his music at 10 o clock at night. Every who does it for a hobby are very respectful of other people and recognize that the vast majority of people don’t wanna hear your music.
I enjoy it for a few reasons. Firstly, I just love music. Music is a while body experience. It’s not just your ears, but your skin reacts to the vibrations as well, and you just aren’t gonna get that experience with cheap speakers. The car is a great place to feel music because it’s enclosed and you can generally go somewhere to not bother people.
The other part, is that its very hands on and problem solving. You’re doing woodworking, electrical design, maybe fiberglass. Lots of different engineering.
Oh for sure. I understand the reasoning. But it’s still a lack of options. While apple has a good track record, they’re still asking me to blindly trust them, and them alone.
Also on endeavor. I like arch, but it’s too much work. Endeavor is good enough for me.
I agree except for third party apps. I used the iphone 12 for about a year before I switched back to android. Now I have an iPhone for my work phone and an android for my personal. Yes, some third party apps are better supported. But in my experience, it’s only the big name ones. When you start getting into “indie” apps, I think android wins. The number of time I have tried to do something with my iPhone only to discover I can’t is way too high.
And it’s usually small things that add up over time. For instance, I use Alarmy for my alarm. With android, you can have the app lock down the phone. You must turn off the alarm the designed way (photos, barcodes, math, etc. It’s a really cool app and I highly recommend it). If you try to close it out, it’ll start itself again and start alarming. But with iPhone, I can close the app and the alarm goes away and won’t ring again. It made it pretty useless when I could still just dismiss the app anyway.
Wanna torrent with your phone? Nope. Want a different keyboard? Sure, unless your typing in a password, then you must use IOS keyboard.
Those are some notable examples I remember off the top of my head.
If i found a genie, one of my 3 wishes would be that reddit was viewed like Wikipedia. It should be a non-profit. I’d gladly donate to keep the servers up. I do that for Lemmy now.
If I want to know something, I’m either looking at Wikipedia for general information, or reddit for specific. The odds that someone else has asked the same question on reddit it weirdly high. Even Google acknowledged that there search results went to shit because of the blackouts. How did we let such a wealth of knowledge get caught up in profits.
I love Wikipedia. Even if it has flaws, it’s by far one of the best things we’ve created a humanity.
