If you have your life affairs in order, you could try Factorio. Your friends and loved ones won’t see you for months.

I would counter that I’m saving $1,500 a month by living in a van. As a cost, the VPN is a rounding error.

I mean, I’m using Mullvad. I don’t have the hardware to host my own VPN in a van, so this is my best approach. Could I host Wireguard locally? Sure. With access to alternating-current power.

- Comment on Tesla Has 39 Unsupervised Robotaxis Nearly a Year After Launch. At This Rate, They’ll Catch Up to Waymo in 85 Years. 2 weeks ago:
I’m fine with that timeline. The rollout in Austin hasn’t been the smoothest – though in faiirness, we now have so many Waymos in town that they keep having issues like knowing what to do when encountering an emergency vehicle. They aren’t going around killing people, but that’s a pretty low bar.

- Comment on Bumble CEO reveals it's killing off the swipe "We are going to be saying goodbye to the swipe and hello to something that I believe is revolutionary for the category" 2 weeks ago:
If swiping were effective, dating apps would have no business model, because people would pair off and cancel. This “revolutionary” change is being instituted solely for Bumble’s bottom line and can’t possibly be more effective because that would kill revenue.
Remember: The current crop of dating apps do not exist to help you find love. They’re extraction machines running off of FOMO.
