Oh, so much. I’m still trying to figure out how to actually complete things.

Tolerance is tangential to humanization. You can be tolerant of a human. You can also be intolerant of a human.

but once I’m done, I close them all

Same. But I also have a continuous stream of new projects that never get finished.

Depends on how reliable you need this system to be. For example, do you need to handle the scenario where an adult verifies their age to access a website, then lets a minor use that website in their place? That would be a much harder problem to solve than if you just need to verify that an adult was present on the other end at one point in time. For the latter, device-based age verification seems to be trivial to set up from a technical standpoint while fulfilling that criterion.

Some of the clusters I use are on the list and I can confirm that those all run Linux.

There are people who are fully owners and don’t do any labour, and those who subsist entirely on their labour and don’t own anything. Would it be fair to say that the middle class is anyone who works but still owns a non-zero amount of appreciating or revenue-generating assets?

You didn’t answer their question. What do you mean when you say “I felt like I wasn’t going anywhere”?

Easy for computers doesn’t mean it’s easy for humans, and vice versa.

But you cannot defy the laws of thermodynamics, so if you make anything colder, you need to absorb the energy to do so and vice versa. First time using this power and you accidentally made something too cold? Sounds like you just burned to death.

In the eyes of the universe, everything is simply an effect. There are no side-effects, so nothing you can redo despite having that ability.

Depending on the person, this might be a bonus.

Alright, I guess that’s fairly relatable then.

Real. Give me a state of the art lab for multidisciplinary scientific research and some of the world’s best scientists to do as they wish in that lab. I have so many unanswered questions about the universe.

I was under the impression that hearing loss is usually a gradual thing.

if something really is as bad as someone says then why does everyone do it?

Remember when everyone smoked and we were taught that it was good for our health?

Right, that’s a fair criticism with regards to microtransactions. I don’t know much about those kinds of games though, so I can’t really say much about it.

My partner bought Skyrim twice (Steam and Switch) and 100%'d both, and now is going through the same process with BG3. I’m just thinking about how the achievement system is acting like a multiplier to the game’s value in this instance.

I’m racing against capitalism. And they’re not taking breaks.

In a system where you pay once for the game, isn’t that a good thing? It lets you enjoy the game for longer instead of making you constantly buy new games, thus spending less money for the same amount of enjoyment.

I wouldn’t place my bets on any individual stock/asset. You need to do a lot of research and have a lot of money to invest before that can be a safe decision. Instead, put your money in broad market ETFs, which is effectively just a bet on capitalism. Then either capitalism wins and you also win, or capitalism loses and you still win. But make sure you have an emergency fund first because not having that is one of the few ways that you can lose while capitalism wins.

I have a lot of stuff going on in my head that needs my full attention. Dinner planning, a work problem that I’ve been slowly chipping away at, toying with some random ideas, etc.

I understand that for some people, especially if you have ADHD, it can be easier to attend to those thoughts with music and other stimuli present. That is not the case for me.
