Excellent.

I like artists that do the whole thing.

I thought this was an Onion article.

Just floating yellow vests

I have no training. Moved to Linux when W10 came out, and just organically got to self hosting

I would go through regularly and part with an item that held least significance. And repeat monthly till I pared it down to a small collection.

Donate books to literacy place, or drop them randomly in the little libraries (if your city supports those citizen made structures).

CDs are a dollar at the thrift store, but if you have an artists set you might get a fan on Craigslist or kijiji or marketplace that wants them.

Descriptive Geometry.

Basically obsolete by the time of mastering the techniques due to CAD software.

Here’s lesson notes from somebody.

https://www.archweb.com/en/gallery/descriptive-geometry-lessons/

The field starts out simple with orthographic projections, but later you work on problems like : you have a top view of a 3D tube angled in space and another tube crossing it at an arbitrary angle, and then another view.

Find this smallest distance between the two tubes in space.

Neither are down the tube axis, so you start the process if finding the axes and producing a head on view to develop the crossing tube to then find a point to point minimum measure between the two cylinders.

By the time I’d gone through all this, in CAD you just click the two tubes and ask for the distance (min or max)

Mine is more like if you mic’d a freshly poured glass of soda and the popping bubbles were mapped to electronic tinkling noises

Exactly, he’ll just get more pissy

You said it better than I was going to. I love toppings, but when I ate cheese there was something always great about a plain cheese pizza from a good pizza place.

Yeah if any of you guys build a time machine, I know Hitler is a target, but please tell Obama to not goad the Donny.

Try dried fried onions. They always have them at Indian Grocery stores, or dutch shops.

You can skip whole steps in recipes of browning, caramelizing onions for sauces , stews, etc just dump a few tablespoonsfulls in. Also makes excellent brown gravy base with some soysauce and Marmite.

Oof that’s rough

I live in an area of high Indian immigration. They typically have multi generational homes. They are often larger homes, since everyone can contribute to the mortgage.

But the main thing that stands out is the children always have family around, sometimes cousins live in the same house too. Isolation doesn’t seem to be an issue. There’s always support and task sharing, so parents aren’t burnt out at end of day struggling to parent.

Out of 1000s of homeless people I see in Vancouver, they are mostly white or indigenous, rare to see an Indian homeless person here.

And then there is the huge community they have, besises church/temple meeting, but meeting in parks daily.

I think we lost a lot of community and circles of support when we adopted the isolation type lifestyle of “modern” life.

Also there are Chinese knockoffs that claim to be Card xxxx and turns out its some cheap card with some custom firmware to trick the OS into thinking it’s the card you bought

Because the losers weren’t worthy

There was a dollarstore knock off mars bar we bought for a while 50¢ each

I visited a chocolate confection assembly plant. The only things humans do now is random tasks like flip the random bar that for some reason fell odd onto conveyor or shift the skewed box on the pallet, or open the door for a shipment.

The rest was automatic, from the pipes running chocolate throughout the plant to the final gluing and boxing.

The costs are materials, and the factory operation cost, labour is almost nothing. So to increase profit they really can only cheapen or lesson the materials

Yep, one of my favourites before, after they changed they were so bad though; somebody working for them offered a store tray full and we just refused.

There was the “you’re an extroverted-introvert” or opposite label also going around for a while, to describe people in the middle.

Best way I heard it described was introverts need quiet time to feel refreshed, while extroverts need social time to recharge. This helps me understand my wife better. I need wind down time, she needs the constant chatter. It is a challenging compromise sometimes 😀
