In my twenties I’d wake up at 4am, hit the gym, work pulling wrenches until around 2-2:30, get home and do chores for an hour or two, eat, go for a run, shower, then watch tv, play video games, or go out with friends. I don’t live a completely sedentary life but I do work at a desk all day. I go for a couple walks every day and complete my chores. It’s not that I’m a constantly exhausted heap as I approach fifty but there’s absolutely no way my energy levels are close to what they were twenty years ago. My joints swell up if I push myself too hard and my muscles take longer to heal/recover. It’s still worth doing the things but I’m going to be watching my step and make sure I have my footing these days when twenty years ago I wouldn’t have cared if I slipped down a few rungs on a ladder if it saved me thirty seconds getting down.

I’m a native speaker and can’t make it out either so don’t blame yourself.

This is why when I want to cross a busy road I just pretend reality isn’t real, close my eyes, and cross the road. Can’t get hot by cars if I don’t accept that they are there.

I got an HP LaserJet Pro M225dw in 2015 and never had an issue with it. Prints great from windows, Linux, and handheld devices over WiFi. I bought a two pack of aftermarket toner in 2018 and again in 2021 (Arthur Imaging and LxTek brands respectively), otherwise zero maintenance or issues. I only checked on dates because this post made me curious and thought maybe a real world example could be used to folks that might have printer trouble. If I ever need color, rarely, I just print to cvs online and go pick it up. It only cost $240 when I bought it and the toner was $17 and $28 for the two packs I bought, still have one of the second set left but I will need to put it in soon.

I am no more confident about anything in life than I’m not fit, able, or intelligent enough to be in any kind of senior government elected position, at the same time, competency shouldn’t rely on a single individual, it should be a collective effort of many ideas, backgrounds, and expertise that effectively represents all constituents to the best ability possible. I’d never run for anything in politics but that’s the kind of stuff I try to learn about any candidate that I vote for, or not.

Ah, thank you, I made a poor assumption because I keep seeing this shit here lately. I’ll try to double check before making such a response again, not to excuse this instance of course.

Acknowledge the war crimes Prosecute the war crimes Pay reparations to the country and its harmed citizens Acknowledge that as a country there is a lot to change Pull back authority from the executive branch Re-establish USAIDE Commit resources to help rebuild, understand if it’s declined Respect others cultures and autonomy Campaign for global civil and human rights
I don’t know, I feel like a lot of things could be done to make the country and world a better place. It has to start with a real acknowledgement and acceptance that what happened was fucked up and that there is no way forward trying to cling onto some bullshit victory.
The entire world has things to worry about that is more important than geography and religion. Everyone helping and contributing to a mass global move to renewable green energy should be the top priority for everyone, and helping everyone get there because all of our lives have equal value. It needs to be addressed with the urgency of the depleting ozone layer was; it’s still probably too late anyway but with some common ground maybe everyone could walk away at least agreeing to respect each other.
War is so fucking barbaric, there is nothing civilized about what is going on, this shit isn’t a video game. An actual elementary school full of children was attacked in the first week, I don’t understand why that wasn’t enough to wake everyone the fuck up and acknowledge that well shit, we actually are the bad guys here, and actually do something about it instead of digging their heals in.
Some pigs you can’t unfuck but that doesn’t make the right answer to keep fucking the pig.

I wish people would stop supporting this tool cropping artists out of their content. This place seems to be so against using AI to generate art but at least that isn’t a direct copy of unattributed art. I think that’s shit also but this is even worse. I miss the days when the internet would bully the shit out of someone for stealing an artists original work.

I’m surprised he lives like that if he owns Netflix. Props for staying humble I guess.
- Comment on A sudden epiphany. 3 weeks ago:
Your comments have shown me that it’s a lot more of a nuanced topic than I think presents itself on surface evaluation. I generally have always viewed myself as average to below average. I’ve always struggled in formal structured education so my barometer was always, I’m a B/C level of intelligence. With that said, I have always been successful professionally with technology and in tinkering, hobbies, repairing already engineered or developed solutions/products. Originating stuff has pretty much always felt out of reach for me however, these folks that create the things that I can get working are inspiring but very humbling.
I remember when I used to think questions like “are you your, body, your brain, or both” were silly but the more I asked myself questions, provided answers, and challenged myself it got me to a place where a felt a confused ignorance.
I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and viewpoints.

Look into what more?! You have water, you want ice water x + water = ice water
This is both really sad and really funny to me at the same time.

Ok, so I know I’m not smart but that feels like it has to be made up, they seriously didn’t understand that equation?!
- Comment on A sudden epiphany. 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know about all that, I’m pretty dumb and I’m here. I run my own home lab, frigate, HAOS, do a lot of cooking and am a tech lead for a pretty diverse range of SMEs, so I feel like I’m competent but I don’t think I’m very smart. I can do things and figure stuff out but as an example just yesterday I was watching a video about this bitluni guy making a GPU and the things he just knows while explaining what he’s doing, like he’s smart, I could never do something like that.

This narrative has always confused me because they sit on the shelf at my Kroger

They are playing statistics, most people that think they are immune to ads are full of shit and even if they somehow defy common human behavior it isn’t really relevant to an advertising effort that doesn’t care about the minority.

- Comment on My feelings on the Super Bowl 1 month ago:
I used to watch a lot of football. It would consume so much of my time. I’m not sure if it’s getting older, having kids, manufactured drama, folks tying their identity to something they have no control over, or the ‘kneeling’ bullshit but it was kind of eye opening when a buddy of mine called me today to ask who I was rooting for and I genuinely had no idea what he was talking about. I don’t think he believed my when I told him I didn’t know what he was talking about. I haven’t seen a single game all year and I don’t think I’ve missed anything. Happy that folks find enjoyment in it but I just don’t think it’s my bag anymore.
- Comment on Did you have one? 1 month ago:
I had one for nearly a decade up until three years ago when I got a job working from home.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 2 months ago:
I work from home and only really leave the house to go to the grocery store once every week or two. I wear shoes probably about fifty percent of the time, my feet will start to hurt if I don’t. I have two pairs of sneakers that are over five years old and a pair of boots that are almost twenty years old that I rotate. I think I must just live a lot different lifestyle than most folks.
- Comment on Is history about to repeat itself? 2 months ago:
That and municipalities that don’t deal with the shit regularly don’t have annual budgetary expenses carved out to prepare to keep the roads manageable for the once or twice a decade event. I’ve always lived in places where heavy fall and freezing temperatures are expected and yeah, everything is structured around that reality and everyone has more experience with it. I don’t judge a fish for its inability to fly, I’ve always kind of rolled my eyes at people that try to act and mighty because them and their local municipalities are better prepared to deal with recurrent weather patterns than folks that only have to deal with it in rare circumstances.

It gives me diarrhea but I’ve also found that any other fat food place does. I almost exclusively eat food I’ve made at home so I just assume their must be something different with the food at fast food restaurants in general.

I went there recently after many years and enjoyed the eggs over easy and the hash browns, I did use Tabasco. I guess I don’t know what soda they had because I just got a decaf coffee. I was expecting a shit meal and ended up tipping quite a bit because the cost, food, and service were all way better than I expected.
