Need to put some bumpers on them and just ram it out of the way

Americans are not any better. Poll from 2022 https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/41556-americans-misestimate-small-subgroups-population

“Big enough to fill most” then after say “we’re talking about shoes right?”

Good thing I’m not an American then. If I would be an American “I’d be a vote blue no matter who” but also make sure I vote in any primaries I’m able to so I could vote “less corruption” and “left leaning”.

As a European I see politics in the US being a choice between “Classic EU Conservative party” and “Far right populism + authoritarian” but then you manage somehow to get Mamdani, AOC, Gavin Newsom and Bernice which actually look decent. I like that, Trump shit is affecting Europe and shifting the overton window left instead of right would help I think.

The Dems are so far right now that a leftist candidate is a breath of fresh air

Yeah, you should shake off the water first (12 times is a good number), then rub your hands to spread the water over your hands so your evaporating water on all parts of your hands.

Takes less than a minute and gives you completely dry hands. This works with type 1 and 3 mentioned by you. Type 2 like the Dyson Airblade work if you pull your hands through slowly but then they will take a couple of minutes to dry on their own. With type 2 shaking the water off is not important since the machine does it for you.

I’d like to dispute that. My current routine is:

1. Shake hands around 12 times
2. Rub hands under the dryer.

Step 1 removes majority of the water and Step 2 spreads it evenly over your hands so you use all the surface area to dry. I get my hands completely dry within a minute.

I work in Web dev so there’s that. But also the roman empire and etymology.

Now do Black and White

It’s a fair point but it’s not as egregious as most other headlines. I personally give this one a pass since clickbaits are meta in the article space. It shows that GOG has this in their toolbox.

I make e-commerce websites. It’s a lot about making widgets, making logic for connecting to their accounting system and how prices and discounts work together. Then whatever delivery and payment system they need and so on.

I write 90% of the code by hand since it works for me very well.

The infection risk only becomes an issue when you’re old. I’m getting circumcised at 70, I’m keeping my dick whole until then. Your dick looks ugly, sorry not sorry.

Also, I’m happy you like your dick, I’m sure you’d also like it if your parents didn’t remove a piece.

No, you go to the library

Also to add, the roman roads don’t last forever. Via Appia is in a very poor state and only the bottom most layer is still there. Contrary to pop history asphalt lasts longer than the Roman method and would have saved them a lot of maintenance.

Does L space in the Discworld novels count?

I’d recommend starting by hosting a nextcloud instance.

1. Get a desktop computer, pretty much anything will do but having room to add more HDD is important.
2. Install Linux distro like Ubuntu or something
3. Get a static IP so your IP doesn’t change
4. Setup a router port forwarding rule so that an outside address points to your nextcloud instance.

Then do some optional steps:

• Automatically turn on PC when power comes back on (BIOS setting)
• Startup script that runs nextcloud on startup
• Install docker to manage services like nextcloud
• Add some remote desktop thingy to manage your server from your laptop (ssh is also good but a steeper learning curve)
• Get a NAS for storing data with redundancy.
• Have some other form of backup like your current Google account, cloud provider or one of your mates with a similar setup.

That’s pretty much what you need to start hosting your own files, then later on you can setup a email server, media server like Jellyfin, homepage and everything.

Just go one step at a time and when you hit an issue you can and should ask Google or ChatGPT. Remember, everything exposed to the Internet is vulnerable so take security seriously. Always have everything protected by a decently long password, pairing requirement with your server confirming adding a device or an API key.

Not sure which one I would pick. Pokemon Blue, Oblivion, Star Wars KOTOR, Warcraft 3 or Super Mario 64 maybe. All of them were amazing and had a lasting impact on me.

More recently I played Enter the Gungeon, Slay the Spire and Return to the Obra Dinn

You’re out there collecting info maaaan. Information is the thing that unlocks new areas.

When I need my fix of good news I go to iea.org and look at some graphs. I’m always thinking it should be faster but then again there’s hope for climate change and the world is transitioning despite how entrenched the fossil fuel industry is.

Here’s one on the investments being made:
