Domash Qudaibergen’s high end is downright angelic during the climax of the song.

Skedaddle, I like how it can be playfully dismissive and throw people off when they’re angry.

My favorite foreign word is Inverno (Italian for Winter).

New Bezos looks like his return in season 4, where he pops out behind the season finale boss while she’s giving a monologue about monsters rising up, implying she’s a necromancer.

All of the white house advisors are already copy pasting from AI because they have no clue what they’re doing, so I guess cut out the middleman?

Not work for 4 months straight.

If it makes you feel better, most of my major fuck ups are cooking related. I was boiling down some dr. Pepper for jerky marinade and fell asleep. Didn’t wake up to alarms until my wife woke me up. Pretty embarrassing, and really makes you doubt your own ability to do things. Eventually you get over it and just get cagey about the very specific lead up steps, which is probably a good thing.

I’m one of the messier people here (male), and I wonder if it’s because I think of cleaning as an efficiency thing. Like walking around and getting it all at once is quicker per item than taking each thing to the kitchen individually. The cleanliness does bother me, but not that much unless I don’t have enough surface area to do what I need to do at any given time, which is when I clean it all at once. It’s highly bases on the inconvenience of the space and hardly on the appearance unless I have guests.

I was gonna post this too… Amazing game, combat mechanics in modern games still haven’t caught up. Also that ice spell makes the game.

Literally every battle mechanic in that game was top notch. Think linear single player Mordhau with spells and your character has demon strength.

Comparing this to the Blitz… Fucking yikes, no wonder the guardian broke free of their leash to underline how tone deaf this is.

Fountain pens. They don’t make custom alloys of gold specifically for their nibs any more because they’re not ubiquitous. An old “wet noodle” italic Parker or Waterman is a writing experience to behold.

These and I’d add Crutchfield, Sweetwater, and Best Buy has good sales.

For components, the standard Mouser, Digikey, and McMaster-Carr

Peter Jones - Kilkelly (Ireland), it also has an interesting backstory

It’s very sad, but indicative of the time.

Dells latitudes are more repairable than the average, but I’ve had pleasant experiences with some gaming acers, HP omen, and XPS laptops. Mostly deal with Dell latitude and precisions though

Including themselves as mandatory in the service isn’t exactly a win for right to repair. Dell batteries cost us about 65 dollars or less and they ship them directly to us with no certification requirements. They also offer extended warranties up to 3 years on batteries and 5 years on components.

For laptops the battery replacements are easy to do usually. Apple is the only one who’s devoted their whole brand to making it impossible to repair full sized devices. I’ve replaced about 15 random dell laptop lithium batteries in the last year.

Artificial stem cells seem like the next thing to really revolutionize medicine.

Quantum computers for brute force hacks seems doable in 100.

Eye tracking pointer devices will likely be more convenient than mice within a dozen or two years. This will probably be widely available for people who are paralyzed first.

Diamond processors are always 10 years away, but I think we can do it in 100. This would revolutionize the amount of power we can put through a chip without worrying about cooling.

Quick charge capacitor replacements for standard rechargble batteries

Low yield fusion plants. I’d like to think of them as capable of high yield, but it’s much harder than initially thought. Some ideas are quite promising for low yield.

That’s a shame, I didn’t realize how culturally isolated they were. I appreciate the redirection of my black and white analysis to a more nuanced one. I would always research a topic much more if it wasn’t specifically about my general vibes on it.

How do you feel about Qatar’s labor abuses such as confiscating passports?

I see that https://rch.qa/qatar-labor-law-can-your-employer-legally-keep-your-passport/ shows this is now strictly illegal, but also understanding how employer employee power dynamics affects legal systems I’m dubious of real change having happened.

As far as I’ve seen, they’re not matching Modi’s Hitler vibes, but you likely know more than an ignorant outsider. I mostly just hate fascists and see India as incredibly problematic.

Maybe just the power dynamic. India is far more powerful, although they both have nukes.

Qatar as a labor exploiting oil nation, yep.

Pakistan I don’t associate with those things. I mostly associate them as the good guys in the culture war with India that causes Indians to come on to America social media and post the most deranged broken English shit you’ve ever heard about Muslims.
