Please please please

Last I saw, he moved back to the UK and was struggling to find a job. The sudden, unexpected lack of communication is certainly concerning.

I’m going to make a point here, and I hope I am wrong, but I don’t think I am. If America falls apart, I think it will be the first one, not the only one. The influence America exerts on much of the rest of the world is huge, and the pressures on many other nations to follow any collapse with one of their own would be difficult to stop. Not just influence culturally, but economically, including but not limited to agriculture. Removing the agricultural influence provided by America alone will be devastating for much of the world (including non-agrarian parts America).

Adolph’s childhood would certainly be described by nobody as a good time. The one story I recall was him stripping naked to try and squeeze through the window bars in order to escape his father’s wrath, only to get stuck. He found the humiliation of his father’s laughter worse than the beating he was expecting.

Brilliant! Took me too long, but I’m on the same page now.

I read it as “casino” and was very intrigued on many levels.

Here’s my take. I grew up in the Cold War. I saw no way out. Figured we were all done, with a state of permanent Cold War until an inevitable Hot War that ends it all. And then, very suddenly, in 1989, the Cold War was over. No nuclear explosions, no cities vaporized. Just a new and hopeful future.

And now, here we are today. I see no way out of the climate crisis, and it’s depressing. But I haven’t forgotten the lesson I learned from the Cold War. Just because I can’t see a way out, it doesn’t mean there isn’t, or that there won’t be. I don’t know how, but I’ve seen it before, humanity’s disaster somehow averted out of nowhere. Doesn’t mean we’ll skip climate disaster. Just means that just because you don’t see a way out right now, there still may be a way, and we should all work toward such a future.

Thank you for reading my Ted Talk. Fingers crossed.

What do Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning have to do with Elon lying about having mad gaming skills?

So, was entering the exploded vehicle an extreme difficulty without the remote unlock, then? Because I don’t think it was, exploded or not.

What a savings!

This is my mantra. Maintainability is king. I can’t convince anyone designing our systems that this is more important than fancy 3rd party libraries that add some capability that only a couple of people will ever understand how to use, but will find it’s way throughout the codebase and be a thorn in the side of bug fixes and new features for years.

I’m sorry Dave, but I’m afraid I can’t do that, because I don’t recognize your face.

I’ve sort of been forced over to Mac (not that it’s a bad thing, just a thing), and Paint.NET is perhaps my biggest loss in that transition. I’ve loved that program since its early days, and is always one of my first installs on any new Windows installation.

Unless my math is wrong, early September is only roughly 8 months from New Year’s, not 9.

I use this as well. I haven’t had any issues.

Depends on the hardware, but generally, yeah.

(It’s a joke)

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

I’d be interested to see what people have to say regarding VR setup, but the Oculus gets little use anymore. I have a few games that were never ported to the newer, self-contained systems (I have a Quest 3), and we’ve downloaded a bunch of custom Beat Saber levels that I might feel bad about, but the sensors are a big enough pain to set up that I don’t know that I’d feel that bad.

Truth. Full system would be easier.
