Using alcohol as a self-medicating behavior caused me more pain, ruined relationships, lost me jobs, etc. than anything else. Stay the fuck away.

You can search for her takes on trans people and that will probably, but basically against basic things like gender-affirming care and positing that trans is a social fad amongst youth.

Arguably, many people groups indigenous to what is now the US (and often times into Canada and Mexico as well) were each their own countries and sometimes joined into confederacies (for example the Iroquois Confederacy and some others). I do think indigenous voices frequently get lost (and that does need fixing), but I don’t know if there’s value in representing them as a single unit as though they were a single nation before. Many groups came over at different times, migrated around, etc. They’re not even all in the same macro language families (and may have come from separate peopling events, but that’s a whole other can of worms).

I started to write a novel, but suffice it to say that I left nearly a decade ago and many things seem to be getting worse rather than better.

Binging with Babish - the content just drifted away. He started doing a show with another guy and I just didn’t watch those episodes. Then, the content went further and I stopped watching.

Joshua Weissman - he just became insufferable at some point. I liked his older content.

Shadiversity, Sabine Hossenfelder - they have positions that cause hurt to people and that I morally do not agree with and won’t give watch time or ad/sub money to. There are probably more here, but I don’t recall. They’re welcome to their opinions, but I’m not entitled to view them or fund them.

First we Feast - mostly watched it for Hot Ones (the Motz’s stuff was fantastic!) but I got tired of Hot Ones, didn’t know most of the guests for a long stretch (not living in the US or really consuming US media made me lose track of things). I also kinda got burnt out on the format.

Linus Tech Tips - to me, it just became the arrogant, egotistical Linus show. There was some other stuff that kinda put me off as well. Maybe it’s better now, but I haven’t watched in a long while at this point.

A number of creators I’m not thinking of - I hate when prescription meds are advertised (which isn’t even legal in the vast majority of countries) and how they just want to sell dick pills without a real, non-conflict-of-interest doctor involved when the cause may not even be physical. I worked in healthcare for a long time and that just rubbed me the wrong way, particularly when creators in countries where it would be illegal for them on TV do it (and it may not even be legal/available in their country but it is in the country of at least US-based audience members).

Edit: and the 8-bit guy now, based on others mentioning things, checking other sources, and even checking up a follow-up video he made a year ago. I’ll pass.

He got locked out of his youtube income for a loooong time and had a rough time with it. He also had some legal issues that prevented him from doing some of the videos he used to do. I don’t watch it as much as I used to, but I still watch some.

I remember seeing it when it made it to DVD at some point and not making it all the way through the movie due to not enjoying it. I never tried to rewatch it after the fact.

There could be a major road just out of frame. The trees are probably for a combination of windbreak (especially if this is amidst long stretches of open land), shade, and maybe privacy.

Yeah, the inside of a 3.5" was still just a little floppy magnetic thing. I was just trying to be silly and channel my old-man-yells-at-cloud vibe.

We had floppy drives but they started making the disks rigid! Rigid!!! If only we could go back to the good old scuzzy times…

I live in rural Japan, so that may take a while, heh. Thanks, though!

BG3. I moved after I started playing and haven’t had time to really go back to it and, at this point, kinda forget everything.

McDonald’s pizza. Technically like 1 location still makes it. It’s mostly just a big nostalgia hit for me.

A Rax roast beef sandwich.

Wendy’s pitas. When I worked there in the mid-90s, they had pitas that I quite liked.

Now I want fast food, but it’s not worth the hour to get to McD’s and back.

JapanLife and JapanFinance. Tons of knowledge for people living in Japan where language, the legal system, etc. all are much easier to navigate with the help of people who have been here. They never really got off the ground in the fediverse and are the only reason I still go to reddit.

As the other person mentioned, the base of pho is the stock which includes steeped plants. So it’s tea with some other things thrown in it.

Pho is just animal oil/juice suspended. Everything else is like milk, honey, lemon, sugar, etc. that people do consume in tea.

And if you end up burning natual gas / coal to meet the marginal increase in demand - as would seem fairly likely - then much of the thermal conversion losses you’re saving in the higehr efficieny motor just get shifted to the furnace in the power station and transmission/distribution system; so that can erode some of the efficiency benefits.

1. liquid fuels still have to get from the ground -> refinery -> distribution -> gas station -> vehicle so there is transmission cost and loss there
2. “we can’t immediately solve all of the problems so let’s not do it” is a pretty bad take. Incremental progress is better than waiting for perfect which basically means never doing it.

Another good alternative is to try to convince people to get together and share their electric motors in things callled trains and do as many trips in those as possible - that’s not too popular with most people unless the road congestion is really bad. Something to do with sharing being communism i think,

I 100% agree everywhere it’s practical. Still, people are going to have to get to train stations somehow. Multi-modal transit could somewhat cover that, but some people would still practically have to drive. Convincing those people to only drive to the nearest station and not all the way to their destination is another challenge to solve.

Thanks for explaining! I haven’t set foot in a datacenter since probably 2008ish, heh.

Yeah, I had never seen a connector that looks anything like that, but I figured I was just behind the times (since it didn’t look like Ethernet plugged into it to me)

As a programmer, I don’t even know what we’re looking at. A switch, I would guess, but I haven’t seen hardware in years. In any case wouldn’t “port 21 <bottom|top>” been better?
