You could spend 100m in a day on real estate where I live. There are multiple 40-50m parcels available all over the place.

It’s about the only thing I miss when I use cpp. Makes code far more legible.

Wake me when they add named arguments.

No they won’t. Many many parts are shared with accords, there are so many parts in junkyards it’s insane. The engines are still being made too.

A 1999 Honda crv can be made to run forever

Use the water pressure to power a turbine generator, then use the electricity from that generator to run a window AC unit

Radiators? Nah, open loop. One end to the faucet, other end to the drain. If you’re on well water it goes right back down to where it came from.

I actually never thought about it until now. I hope it evens out since people who I like can use it too, and I like far more people than I dislike.

I have a setting and characters but no story. And I have stuff that could be part of a story, but I don’t know how to put it together. Like an arranged marriage, and jealousy between someone born to power and someone who fought to earn it. I just don’t know how to make a story that fits all of them in there.

Exactly.

If gas cost $100 per gallon, cities would HAVE to build trolleys or subways. Which is my dream. I just want trains

Based

Imagine how much better the world would be if gas cost $100 per gallon

When I retire I want to hike and camp, cook really nice meals, grow a garden, and make hot rods.

I hear you, but I disagree. My people are great at slacking me or each other when they need stuff. We have a great collaborative atmosphere. They set up meetings with each other and with me as needed, and I’ve heard over and over that they really like that. I have weekly 1:1 meetings with each of them, and usually we hang up after 15 minutes because they know what they’re doing and can get back to it.

Imagine actually going to daily standup, wow

I made a daily meeting invite, and told my team to never show up to it. Lets them show up to work an hour later since I put it in the calendar for 930-10.

They’ve been raised on systems where you don’t need it, and they fundamentally don’t understand how one talks to a computer. It’s actually quite a bit to learn, and if you didn’t grow up doing it, it seems like a big cliff.

Good. Kids don’t need cell phones, and they really are a huge distraction.

Which will also mean a renaissance for classic vehicles for EV conversions. Currently the EV market is too small to really support them, but as EVs start hitting junkyards, it will become a big deal.

Sure does!

Hahaha python

They don’t even have math in the base language, you have to import numpy to do basically anything.

I use mpv but the configuration is a big pain. Just try overriding a subtitle font in mpv, there are config files to change that don’t even exist by default and they live in different places depending on mpv version and it’s a huge mess.

I still do it because it’s lightweight and for some reason has better performance for me than VLC.
