What’s the battery life like? Without actually doing much research, I always lent towards dedicated eReaders. I just assumed that a tailor made, super simple OS would save a lot of needless processing, therefore power.
I charge my Kindle about once a month, I guess.
This is one of the arguments I have around the decision to not have children of my own. The world is pretty fucked, do I really want to create someone who will not only have to endure the shit to come, but also will undoubtedly add to that shit?
The counter argument, of course, is to raise the child in such a way that they make the world a better place. Ultimately, though, the problem is too many humans- why add to that?
Being an uncle is great. You get all the fun of kids, and can give the bloody things back when they start screaming and shitting everywhere.
I’m a similar age, and similar point in life. I like kids, but I really don’t want to have any of my own. I really enjoy being an uncle to many children, though- not related, just made it clear to my friends that I would love to keep my connection with them, and build a connection with their child.
People don’t want to impose their child on others, but if you have a genuine conversation with them about being ok with kids, you’ll get to see your friends more often, and if you’re into it, they’ll fucking live and appreciate the free babysitting.
What I wouldn’t give for a modern N series. Those phones rocked.
Thousands of years in the future, our descendents will return to Earth, to visit museums of ancient culture, and marvel at the Tungsten Cube of Dickbutt.
I thought it had more of a ‘doing your own thing’ vibe to it. As in, you could use it to describe someone spending a vast amount of time perfecting an unusual skill.
I still don’t understand what this means.
None!
There should be no guilty pleasures in music. Especially dating. It’s much more attractive to have a wide range of tastes and be comfortable with what you like.
I am very grateful to my DM for allowing me to play as a gelatinous cube that had absorbed a headband of intellect. Such a fun character to play!
Are you a Pratchett fan? I think you’d like his take on elves, I think the first Discworld they’re in is Lords and Ladies.
I have a theory as to why people in my country discuss US politics more than our own. People want to talk about something more ‘important’ than the latest reality talent show, but don’t want to risk talking about local politics. US politics is square in the middle, splashed across our feeds constantly.
I just can’t wait until elections continue their downward spiral, and presidential candidates need to sing country songs to Snoop Dog so they don’t get voted off the island.
Oooh, this is promising… I’ll check it out, if it’s what I hope it is, thank you!
I’m not sure on either front- never used LibreOffice Draw. Visio does, but for me, it’s not worth it.
I like draw.io, but the killer feature I want is auto-layout. As soon as a flowchart gets a little complex, things get really fiddly. I wish I could hit ‘auto-arrange’ and it would do some approximation of a tidy layout.
Is Docker considered virtualisation?
Thanks. As bare metal is quite a bit more expensive, what would I lose by going to a VPS? I’m assuming Proxmox and Windows, assuming I wanted to go with a Linux VPS. Would there be issues with running Docker containers with the VPS?
But then people would be confused and think Greece was invading.
Most Europeans are also illegal aliens from somewhere else.
The Tenacious D guy? What did he say in Australia?
