If you actually need a car, this one is the most important cost saving measure:

• Drive a reasonably sized car which isn’t optimized to exploit laws made for trucks.

Trump already won that war 20 times. So it’s probably all fine.

It’s called entry-level for a reason. Back in my days, you could start such a position without any formal education as long as you were willing to acquire the required skills and knowledge without needing a nanny. We had to go to the library or actually buy the books for knowledge. Now they can just use the internet.
The actual requirement for doing the job never changed. And it’s not knowledge.

Nah, AI isn’t that good. When you don’t properly review every single line twice, you get the most absurd bullshit you’ve ever seen.
I use Claude Code Opus daily btw.

Computing was never as great as it is now. Never before did we have so much free open source software at such a high level of quality to use and tinker with. Never before was it this easy to find help for the most obscure problems. Never before was playing on Linux a viable option.

But online and offline social networking really got enshittified a lot. 3rd spaces online like offline are fully commercialized. Online, everything is remembered and if it can be used against you, it will be used against you either by the government or some rando just because they can.
But you can use a VPN and as many pseudonyms as you need to properly separate your community-specific personas. And if you live in a city of religious fanatics, the internet also is a great to find like-minded people. There are communities for everything.

Some of the illegal streaming sites still have search, sorting, and filtering.

Every picture taken after the first is also an “after” picture.

The disabled get the same chance of fighting for survival as everyone else. No exclusion here.

To be fair, Iran briefly had a democracy. The elected leader immediately started to nationalize the oil industry. Obviously, The Great US Empire had to immediately regime change him.

The reason most countries opposing The Great US Empire have autocratic regimes is evolutionary pressure. The countries who tried to go with a democracy either became vassals of The Great US Empire or got regime changed into chaos or an autocratic regime by The Great US Empire.

Just ask your maid where she gets her nails done.

The isolation is a personal preference. After overcoming the initial pressure to drink diplomatically (which means different things in different cultures), the drinkers usually just accept the non-drinker and continue as usual. If you are fine with being sober while the others aren’t, that actually is a viable option.

Nothing wrong with “vibe coding”, “prompting”, “generating” or the other terms associated with using AI to generate something.

If you do proper quality assurance, and assume ownership and accountability it is your piece of work. If not, it’s AI slop.

Just use a paintball marker. It doesn’t destroy the camera, but you can paint the lens. They then have to have someone go there and clean it or wait until they get lucky with the rain cleaning it. It’s probably also less of a crime than actually destroying the thing.

There are multiple specialized gaming rooms and a smut library in the plan. Just don’t forget to change into the maid servant dress before playing Goblin Cleanup.

“Observation” or “measurement” actually means interaction. We literally can’t measure anything without interacting with it. If you place something at the slits which is able to detect a photon going through, it can only do so by interacting with it.

The common way seems to be that the passing particle induces a tiny electric current in a wire loop. Obviously, that takes energy away from the particle (that energy is now in the movement of one or more electrons in the wire). And that means, its wave function in that very moment is one locational probability of 1 - it is collapsed.

Grats.

Almost all of Linux’s growth on the desktop is caused by Microsoft enshittifying Windows. There wouldn’t be measurable growth without that because it doesn’t matter how good it is without an incentive to leave Windows.

I play on Gentoo, btw.

I don’t watch movies or series often anymore. But when I do, I just go through the streaming sites section in the r/Piracy megathread until I find what I search for on one of them. Most of them let you search for a specific title or prefix. Some mimic the Netflix browsing experience. Some also have a download button for offline-watching. If it’s out for a while and has some mainstream appeal, you will probably find it on one of these.

There are cool pranks. But this is just being a piece of shit. It’s as funny as flattening a tire.

I wished my teachers had been like that. It would have improved most of them.
