You’re absolutely correct. It’s lonely in an achingly beautiful way.

Yeah, as an American it’s disturbing and makes it hard to believe we can change things. You’ve described it very well.

I miss the heyday of both RuneScape and Guild Wars 1. Those were fantastic times.

Damn. I wish I could take time off just to clean my house. It needs it.

My receiver for my tv setup is a 1970s Pioneer. I like the big ol knobs on it and the warm lighting.

Edit to add I also love my Pebble smart watches (Go Rebble for keeping them running!)

Stellaris Medieval 2 Total War Halo: The Master Chief Collection

Eating pizza and watching the end of Summer Games Done Quick with the wife.

Yeah, experiencing that is a horror I wouldn’t wish on anyone. That’s a true nightmare.

I don’t think having kids of my own is in my future, I hope I can live my life with enough intent and purpose to avoid this date. Thank you both for this thread, it’s gotten me thinking.

I’m entertained, I need a book in this universe.

Why couldn’t they get his wallet if he was handcuffed?

Odd thing to be that annoyed by. I don’t understand people who obsess over the way other people’s houses look. Unless you have an expensive car or a project car it seems like a waste of good space to store a car in the garage. But hey, to each their own.

If I had a garage it would totally be used for shop space and storage. Most people here seem to use their garages as additional space. My car can survive the rain just fine outside. The tools and equipment I wish I had space for, not so much.

Shame you let other people’s reasonable decisions bother you. Not everyone wants to obsess over opening a car.

True, but that doesn’t excuse messing with people’s lifesaving health devices. They use them because they have to, not because they want to.

Waffle stomp gets me laughing every time in any context.

Doesn’t mean we can’t learn from them. The process of developing those models can be incredibly useful in learning about complex steps. They help us understand what conditions and variables are important to look into. We can figure out what we know a lot about and what is still a complete mystery.

Turbulent airflow is an incredibly complicated thing, we still haven’t fully solved the Navier+Stokes equations. I hope to be alive when someone does.

Just because they don’t perfectly figure it out the first time doesn’t mean we should stop putting effort into incremental improvements. Though we do have to be careful that we are not wasting resources when there is a more efficient path forward. Simulations are one of many important tools, we just have to use them wisely.

What are some good other options? I haven’t kept up with the advances with this stuff in a few years.

I switched my gaming PC to Linux two months ago and I’m loving it. I’ve only had to boot my Windows drive twice.

They shrugged just wait until the theft goes over a certain amount while collecting evidence.

Idk sounds to me like you are the change we need. You’re investing your energy into the future without asking for selfish repayment. You’re good people. From my perspective you are still keeping that hope of a better future alive and burning, nurturing it in the hearts and minds of the young, allowing it to grow strong in a protected environment. You are EXACTLY what the world needs right now. So thank you Internet friend.

That was an incredible read, thanks for sharing it. Please keep sharing it!
