I remember having a thought one day as a young kid while interacting with a DVD main menu (the kind that had clips from the movie playing in the background, and would play a specific clip depending on what menu you went in to).
“This is basically how video games work, there’s a bunch of options you can choose from and depending on what you do it shows you something. Videogames are just DVD menus with way more options.”
I grew up to not be a programmer.
Even this depends on diction.
“What is your favorite color?” - School teacher.
“WHAT- is your favorite color?” - Bridge Keeper
Its funny that “ur comment sounds AI btw 😏” has become the new “sick burn” for people with no argument. Especially when the comment in question reads absolutely nothing like an LLM.
The advice is more meant for changing through gears, not starting from a stop. As mentioned, you don’t really need much gas to get going.
Awesome!
I usually just push a sharpie against the offending light. Still visible so I can see it if need be but not much brighter than that.

Best price I’ve seen actually available is ~800USD
Good job! I’ve been looking for that GPU for a while but can’t get one at a price that makes sense. Enjoy gaming!

My only issue with this kind of advice is that, if he gets caught using “soundbar_waker.bat”, IT might get butthurt but he hasn’t really done anything wrong or sketchy. If he’s using “Logitech_driver.bat”, he’s less likely to be caught, but if he is, it’s gonna look a lot worse than it really is.
I think capitalism was a great and necessary thing to get humanity to it’s current post-scarcity state. As you said, production and innovation were really aided by capitalism in the early days of man, but now that we have all the shit we need to survive, all it does is deprive those without.
Haven’t touched it in years, but there was a mod that converted all player dialogue to voice commands. Meaning that when you were talking to an NPC, you actually spoke the words you wanted to say. That, with the verbal dragon shouts, and gesture activated spell casts… Good times.

That is, are upvotes “yays” and downvotes “boos”?
I still upvote posts in news communities informing me of terrible things, so upvote isn’t necessarily a yay. Downvote might be boo, though
I think a big flaw in your thinking is that you aren’t considering that we still have all the people currently living to take into consideration. We wouldn’t be instantly reduced to a tiny population that is easy to restructure and organize, there’s still like 8b people on the planet, and none of the ones in charge are going to just say, “oh, well I guess none of this matters anymore, let’s focus on sustainability”.
It would take a couple years for us to see a significant decrease in population, and all the while, those currently in power would remain in power. We wouldn’t suddenly drop to a few thousand like minded individuals, all ready to work together to rebuild. We’d be a declining population that is scared and clueless how to save itself, making mistake after mistake.
Re: wrenches.
I’m not sure where you’re at or what kind of things you will be working on, but here in the US you generally want to have at least a cheap set of both SAE and Metric wrenches. Nothing is more frustrating than having a random bolt be SAE while everything else is metric, and stripping the bolt with a wrench that is “close enough”.
You’ll also come to a decision on if your like flat wrenches or angled ones, though it doesn’t hurt to have a cheap set of both.
If you know for sure what set you’ll be using the most (or even better, what sizes you’ll be using the most), spending a little extra money on “ratcheting” wrenches can save you a ton of time and frustration. I do a lot of toying around on my car, and some of these bolts are in tight places where you can’t turn a wrench very far; ratcheting wrenches let you get the wrench in place once and just wiggle the bolt out.
Thanks for providing these, I’ll take a look when I’ve got a minute.
I hope my questions don’t come across as me dismissing or distrusting what you are saying, but this is the first I’ve heard about this information and I find it interesting.
When you say that it caused a distrust in aid workers, where did this distrust come from, and where did it end up? To rephrase, from my understanding, bin Laden wasn’t exactly a good guy locally either, so if civilians found out that he was taken out with the help of undercover aid workers, would that not strengthen the trust that the aid workers were there to help? The only people that should be wary after finding this out would be his supporters, no?
Unless the fear is more of an outside force interfering with your government, good or bad, which is more understandable, especially in a time and place where information wasn’t as readily available. I’m sure it’s obvious, but I’m a US citizen, and though I absolutely detest the man and his following, I’d be pretty fucking concerned if China had Trump popped.

You HAVE to realize that there are people who can’t even afford the groceries in the first place?! Not everyone is your mom wasting money on stuff they can’t afford! Some people don’t have it in the first place!
After this I’m convinced you’ve never seen a single actual difficult day in your life, sorry. To say that you’re “traumatized” by having too much food in the fridge and spending too much money on buying stuff is fucking hilarious, though.
Close, I DM’ed a short-lived DnD campaign a year ago.
