I know personally my enjoyment of reading dropped like a rock in my tweens & teens. Too much schoolwork and over analyzing of books in school got me burned out. I made up for it in my late 20s-30s though.

My daughter has been better so far in this regard, but now that she’s in high school I can tell she’s getting closer to mirroring my feelings. She’s switched to Manga/graphic novels instead of long form novels and that’s helped a bit, but we’ll see if that keeps up in the years to come.

Why does NK hate the ocean so much? They keep launching rockets at it like it killed their dog or something. I can’t wait for the day the ocean retaliates against them.

SLAMMED!

Please let them be directional, pointed down, lower output and on light waves easily filtered out for night sky viewing. Light pollution is getting worse and worse for no real benefit.

So you’re saying there IS a way!

Absolutely, but he’s rich so it’s okay.

The overwhelming feeling of disappointment and melancholy as you realize you have a finite amount of time left on earth and it’s insufficient for the things you want or need to do.

Weren’t they already? I seem to remember Trump and “Rocket Man” talks and such the last time he was in office and MAGA was down for it.

Doesn’t make it less fucked up, just that there’s a lot of that to follow.

I think you missed (or ignored I suppose) part of his statement that data caps can reduce overall (across multiple subscribers in an area) used simultaneous bandwidth. People say “I can pull 1Gbit/sec, but I know I’ll hit my cap if I do that perpetually, so I’ll just do short bursts here and there when I need it”. This puts people in the mindset not to push their max data speeds all day/month long. Doing so reduces the possibility that everyone in an area (likely using the same data backbone) will ask for all their speed at the same time. This means that the backbone can be smaller and support a higher number of subscribers.

I completely agree on not having much choice though. And thats really what needs to change in many places.

“Right off the bat” is a phrase used to mean: immediately, without requiring extra thought or consideration, upon first attempt or viewing, etc.

Defenestration is Classic Russia.

The problem is that people won’t move until their audience there and their audience won’t move until they are there.

And mastodon is a bit less straightforward compared to old Twitter.

How can I use this if I have 3 hands though?

As soon as they shut down the 3ds store I was like “well, it’s open hacking season!” Honestly, it’s pretty cool. Highly recommend.

To be fair I think most people think it (and other countries) should be able to defend itself… it’s just that they went from defense to all out genocide like a year ago.

The current party doesn’t know where that line is while the other party wants them to “finish the job”.

Damn, hash browns sound great right about now.

And as a DevOps engineer, I’m going to be hungry every time I deal with passwords and api keys now.

Came here for this quote. Was not disappointed.

The joint response should be a cease fire.

It’s retaliations all the way down…

Always has been.

It seems pretty clear that he’s past the thinking stage.
