I never knew factorio has a Linux version. I hear the factory calling me again. You might not see me for a few days.

There would have to be some dramatic changes in the world socially and politically before I’ll feel even remotely comfortable having kids. Also my finances would need to change.

And my family also has some genetic issues I’d rather not pass on.

Adoption is an option, but I’m pretty sure I don’t even want one in the first place. When I was younger I thought having kids seemed like a sucker’s game. My opinion has softened on that a bit, but it’s still difficult to imagine actually wanting children.

There’s also a lot of variance within the US. In some towns prom is huge. In my home town it wasn’t as much. Many students elected not to go at all.

You explicitly asked about apartments tho

Near all apartments around me have exclusively open-air parking, so this isn’t a viable solution for many. It’s not that the available power is inadequate, it’s non-existent.

An enormous percentage, especially in the current housing market, however…

Many (most?) American cities have wildly inadequate public transit and are prone to sprawl. Many Americans live in apartments, but are a multiple mile walk from their grocery store. If there’s any public transit at all it’s probably an infrequent and unreliable bus line that may not go anywhere near their home to begin with. They live in apartments, but are not anywhere near ‘downtown’.

These are problems that need to be solved, and quickly, but public transit is best grown with a city, which didn’t happen. Inserting a subway after the fact is difficult, expensive, and slow.

The reality of right-now (which is all a renter is likely to be able to consider financially) is that a reliable car is an essential item in most parts of the country.

I’m cautiously optimistic, but prime is made by a completely different developer than dread so there’s no guarantees, unfortunately

You’ll probably get really sick of cottage cheese, for one. You’ll also lose a lot of weight. In fact you’d be malnourished. Its only about 700-800 calories a day, which is far too few for almost anyone. The weight you lose won’t just be body fat, you’re body will start converting muscle tissue for energy. Thankfully this will be slightly mitigated by you’re now quite high protein intake: 102g per day! Too bad you won’t have energy to go to the gym on account of starving.

Also I bet you’ll get diarrhea.

Don’t do it, at least not for a full month. If you’re gonna try it anyway then take multivitamins and drink a ton of water.

WHAT!? TIL

Nothing, just that ‘I use arch’ is a meme so overused that its cliche. Arch and plasma are great, hence why I use them

The overpriced part is a (relatively) recent development, but point taken

Vanilla Arch w/ KDE plasma (I know)

It was a bit of a struggle at first but that’s what I signed up for. Very happy with the finished result.

And enormously outperforming the original, too. A shame, I like threes.

Training an AI is intensive, but using them after the fact is relatively cheap. Cheaper than traditional rendering to reach the same level of detail. The upfront cost of training is offset by the savings on every video card running the tech from then on. Kinda like how railroads are expensive to build but much cheaper to operate after the fact.

It’s pretty simple. If you can’t understand delayed gratification, then you’re right: school did fail you.

Ps.: the railroad comparison really breaks down when you consider that they’re cheaper to build than the highways that trucks use and that we don’t, in fact, need to truck in the resources anyway. We’ve been building railroads longer than trucks have existed, after all.

The most direct I can think of is that men should be the sole breadwinner of their family, and that if his wife earns more than him (or even has a job at all) then that’s some kind of failing on his part.

There are many other similar stereotypes. For example:

That men have an obligation to defend their/their significant other’s ‘honor’ with violence.

That men shouldn’t cry or otherwise show strong emotion under nearly any circumstance.

Men shouldn’t want to interact with children, especially other people’s kids.

I can go on all day.

Ibuprofen

As in there was no shooter? That is unhinged

I don’t expect MS will give you the choice. Not as far as the whole spying on you part is concerned, at least.

You’re welcome

I would kill for this. Trying to get logseq, or any other markdown editor to play nice with an existing obsidian vault is a nightmare. And none of them are nearly as feature complete or expandable.
