Did Putin say thank you?

No empathy for Elon Musk

“That’s someone’s property! You’re hurting the wrong people!”

When negotiations break down, what are you going to do?

I avoid restaurants that require tipping. When I do have to tip, I give way too much if the service was good. IMO, good service is to not try to talk to me too much, and to be responsive to what I need done (refilling drinks, taking additional requests). Bonus tip if I know they’re overworked and handling it well.

15% floor. Throw an additional $10 sometimes. Always direct to the worker because these places steal tips. Also I tip cooks sometimes.

But I avoid going to these restaurants.

What if they just work 30 hour weeks for twice as many weeks?

Almost makes you wish for nuclear winter

Oh, I call it leaping. Quantum leap. It’s been almost 10 years. Decided to settle down and live out this life.

And I’m over here just sending the bulletpoint unaided by AI. That must be why I can’t get a raise.

There are some working on making open source processors. These being fabricated in a similar way to modern silicon dies.

But also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eo8l7HP-9U

You can make your own processor, it might just be a little (!) less powerful than what you’re used to.

I know the point is PRIVACY, but I believe if we put effort toward it, these obstacles can be overcome. Then we can move closer to full privacy on our computers/phones.

Lockpicking is not a crime!

JerryRigEverything, LockpickingLawyer, and Chef John from Foodwishes.com are absolute ear candy

I worked in a Costa del Mar warehouse once. The generic shades were $20, and right next to the brand name shades ($200). The brand name might have had some invisible enhancement, but they looked exactly the same to me besides the logo embossed into them. Both were polarized and mirrored exactly the same way.

What I’m saying is this: buy cheap generic ones. If you must have that logo, glue one on or something. I don’t understand brand worship.

She might get mad if you tell her this, but maybe you want some time to yourself. It’s what I usually want on my birthday.

Thank you for leading me to find this book. I will enjoy reading it.

“I don’t personally understand it, therefore God did it” (Argument from Ignorance, or God of the Gaps fallacy)

I hear this with regard to evolution, chemistry, bacteria, weather. They don’t know how something works, that’s proof enough for them. Eventually they say “then how was the universe created? There had to have been a creator!” (First cause argument) Or “The eye is so complicated, it had to be designed” (Watchmaker Fallacy)

I used to listen to The Atheist Experience podcast, but it got repetitive hearing the same arguments from religious people, over and over. I also didn’t like how mean the hosts could get sometimes, but I understand their frustration…

Fun experiment next time you’re at Wendy’s. Ask a worker their salary.

I want an open source cellular baseband chip. That’s the chip that acts as a networking connection to cell phone towers. Not only would the drivers be open, but the hardware as well. It might be a little larger than most, as I would want it to be possible for users to dismantle it (destructively, of course) and verify against tampering.

Bunnie Huang’s Precursor was a good start, but it lacks networking (as far as I know)

(Are crowdsourcing links allowed? I’m not going to link to the crowdsupply page, just in case, but it is more informative)

Next, I suppose you’ll want to know about the speed of dark 🤨

I understand the psychology that leads people to vote that way, but I don’t forgive them for their mental laziness.

And my opinion of the person saying that depends on further contact with them. They flash me something sourced from alex jones, and I’m done.
