No mixed feelings.

I wish there was more wind.

I like wind.

As a workaround with the default directory fuckery, I always just made new ones.

I’m not confident my tax documents aren’t saved to my dektop.

I usually air gap onto an external disk, but I’ve been busy recently.

I can see windows internet related services being tested with edge.

Sorry about you not seeing the lightning bug.

Insects are dying out a bit.

I have never, ever, heard someone in real life bring up veganism unless it was specifically in the context of what they eat.

The problem is, it comes up. Food is a very foundational element of social life. Sharing a meal is important, providing a meal as a host is important, and supplying food at events is customary.

Rejecting the offer to put something in their body is misunderstood as an insult.

Eye worms.

Worms that eat out the eyes.

Seriously.

Nothing is worse than a feral fish.

Those things are so riddled with diseases that you’ll be trying to eradicate the bubonic plague in your tank for about five years after the feral fish died. AFTER you empty the tank and hit it with a vinegar scrub and then literally a flame thrower.

The eye worms. THE EYE WORMs 🪱

You COULD invest in an enterprise grade shoe rack unit which can act as the centeralized hub. Essentially, all users would connect with the server each time they need a shoe. As you note, distributed shoe storage technology exists, but there are actually a few different implementation strategies.

One option is to retrofit an area in the personal closet for shoes. This has the advantage of keeping each user’s shoes away and out of reach from threat actors who wish to gain access to the shoes. A disadvantage occurs when there are poor weather conditions. The strategy there is to leave the shoes outside to dry.

Another option is to implement the strategy you outlined and practice a door-first shoe storage policy. Slides near the doors, work boots at the back door, and nicer shoes at the front door. In cases where shoe resources are over assigned, you would construct a priority chart to ensure that the shoes (usually slides) are stored at the door where they are most needed.

Another popular option in my region is to forgo shoes outside if you’re staying within the household property. Depending on a user’s mass, testicular fortitude, and the surrounding terrain, it is actually quite possible to take the rubbish to a wheely bin while walking over perfectly smooth pavement. Just wipe your feet a bit when going inside.

There are also homebrew hybrid solutions which mix and match any of the above, but be warned that a novel approach might have limited community support.

How much have you read about the history of religion?

If they’re not doing it to others, they’re doing it to themselves. The last time there wasn’t a Christian church leader ranting about an evil person was around year 0.

Me, playing the Sims when poor.

WeChat preinstalled?

But nah, the OnePlus 7 with a custom ROM was my jam. Shame the screen broke.

Wow! Rattling off stats like that is a great way to show you’re not shilling.

Tell me, how is the display color quality and camera resolution?

Plato has basically nothing to do with modern politics.

You’re going to laugh, but I’m absolutely serious here: if your objective is to understand modern politics, I would start with The Prince and the Communist Manifesto.

Both of these are short, written by extremely influential figures, written for non-academic audiences, and have some amount of relevancy to current political operations. They absolutely do not explain modern politics, but they are important foundational texts. Spend 20 hours on the manifesto; 2 hours to read and 18 hours of commentary and related topics. Avoid going deeper into the communist rabbit holes. stop there. Spend 30 hours on the prince; look for college level lectures. You can spend more than 30 if you like, but don’t go for the self help guru dipshits, obviously.

Just keep in mind the target audences and the potential bias the two authors bring to the table.

After those two, I want you to read On Liberty and read up on John Locke’s social contract theory. Those four works will get you a lot of milage.

A book about current events or a book about the study of politics? OP indicated they were political theory focused, so a lot of the theory was written by old dead guys; not exactly news about current events.

I studied both political science and programming.

I can’t think of a good joke, but I wanted to share.

It gives Kerbal Space Program energy.
