For real. Two philosophies that really helped me were:

1. be like water / judo it. If you’re hot and cold, either kind of manic or just want to sit around, then don’t try and fight that and be perfectly clean every day, just lean into your mania more and use that to not just clean / tidy, but to make some small improvement so that it’s easier to clean / tidy next time.

2. A place for everything, and everything in its place. Specifically tackling your point 5, but everything you own needs a dedicated place for it. The instant you buy anything, you should be thinking about where it’s going to be stored. Once everything has a clear and defined place to go back to it’s much easier to clean.

Just start with something small and it will snowball II.

Yeah, people don’t seem to realize that their technical solutions don’t matter.

Tracking and privacy is a problem that can only be solved through legislation and legal means. Big companies have more resources and can work around any technical hurdle you throw up.

Like they don’t even have to work around them technically… Oh you like the encrypted messenger? It would be a shame if they were able to make it useless by convincing everyone to just use their DM system leaving no one on your encrypted messaging network to talk to, wouldn’t it?

This is horseshit that should be deleted. Some VC billionaire is funding a campaign to make everyone hate social security so they can privatize it.

It’s finally happening

This was from world bank data:

Damn, this just led me down a rabbit hole that made me discover that 48% of Australian high school kids go to private schools … What’s going on over there? It’s like 5-9% in the US and Canada.

See: Valve’s lost decade.

Valve overcharges everyone so much that they could actually afford to try this and let their workers work on whatever they wanted. The end result was a cluster fuck that produced basically nothing for a decade.

It didn’t matter, because, again, Valve rips the entire gaming industry off so badly that they were still wildly profitable, but it’s part of why we saw no sequels to any of their games.

Yes, this is why missile defense programs going all the way back to Regan’s “Star Wars” scheme have been controversial.

K, but you know that cancer itself starts from a single cell right?

No he’s not, because actual medical professionals don’t diagnose people at a distance.

The fact that he’s claiming to while claiming he’s a professional tells you that at least one of those two statements is false.

As an outside observer, it looks like either Obama could have, it looks like Sanders could have, it looks like Budigeg could, it looks like Mamdani could.

Run a real candidate against him with a coherent political view that’s not just a bunch of big D Democrat nonsense.

Who the fuck cares? Stop wasting your time with meaningless nonsense.

Play the game of politics and learn how to beat him, or stfu. This is just big-D Democrat nonsense. The world is not an ideal fairy tale, this does not matter one iota unless his base cares, which they very obviously don’t.

Yeah, I’ve looked it up and this is definitely the case, I’ve also had both Canadian and American employers refer to my position this way continuously with no repercussions (I similarly have an engineering degree in another field and was an eit and am now in software).

It’s weird because if the provincial engineering societies were serious about enforcing their rules, it would take them ZERO effort to find thousands and thousands and thousands of violations through like a single LinkedIn search. The fact that they dont put in such a minimal amount of effort kind of signals they don’t care about the rule.

Based on your description, it kinda sounds like that’s becoming true for spending time on the internet, encouraging people to go outside more.

They can do pre-fabricated architecture, but they haven’t cracked it.

Current prefabricated construction (especially in the context of homes / housing) is still limited in terms of customization and/or requires a huge amount of manual architecture / engineering work, and the consumer facing customization software is still pretty garbage.

People still often use contractors because they want the level of customization they bring, even when off the shelf options are available.

Don’t get me wrong I have massive faith in prefab construction in terms of infrastructure projects like bridges and elevated guideways etc where you have a design team doing them all up front and sending them off to be made at a factory and assembled on site, but I haven’t seen anything in terms of home construction that seems revolutionary from prefab yet.

It really feels like the wrong technology for the job.

What 3D printing is great at is having one machine, that can produce a billion different parts.

i.e. with my one printer, I can print hooks, or replacement parts that no longer exist or custom organizer that fit exactly my stuff and situation.

It’s fantastic for printing a massive variety of low volume parts / one offs.

It’s not great at printing those things cheaply, or in modular parts (it can be done but it’s often not because it’s a lot of extra effort for one offs). Which in housing, people want cheap (because it’s the most expensive thing they’ll buy), and they want it to be adaptable and changeable.

If anything I suspect an actual housing revolution could come from pre-fab housing, made of a highly customizable and modular component system, and slick design software, but no one has cracked all the pieces required to implement that yet.

Like the wine growing areas eh?

Some of California votes consistently Republican. The whole state is not exempt.
