people are generally ok. put them in a situation where they can climb over other people to advance and watch the rot begin.

so, while people are generally ok, corporate people are generally not.

didn’t think much of the sequels though

“we’re on a mission from God”

personally, I have no desire to live longer than I’m intended to. living to that age with more vitality, however, that sounds great!

do you mean fusion? fusions the one that separate atomic nuclei that we’ve had since the 1940’s. fusions the one where atomic nuclei are combined, that make headlines when the reactors run for more than a few seconds

a little blunt, but there’s the classic Boaty McBoatface

North East, US here. probably fine but I don’t trust it. we use a water filter for drinking

I loved stumbled upon! it’s got repetitive after a while, but I found a bunch of stuff I never otherwise would have

adjacent answer, but resource requirements are lower than might be expected since the simulation only needs to capture elements observed by a conscious entity. the vast majority of the known universe has not been observed in any detail that requires significant memory or processing resources. this same technique is employed by computer game designers so that only scenery and elements within view of a player are fully rendered.

having gotten zapped by 120VAC and 230VAC I totally agree. the former sucks and is no fun while the latter made me question my life choices

zoltan kaszas.

many people come back from near death experiences with insight about the whole structure of the universe. one common theme they report is that we all chose the lives we’re living because these lives offered the best opportunity to learn and grow. they say we come back many times until we learn everything we need to.

so, if true, the downside is that you and I will probably be back. but, the upside is that we won’t keep coming back forever and that we can curtail the number of times we will return by being the best people we can and by learning as much as we can.

yep. that’s the correct spelling for that sound

any thoughts on some other sort of remote data backup just in case of fire, water damage, etc? years ago I moved is off of our nas for this reason but at this point on I’m really not happy with Googles process and crappy photos software. I wouldn’t mind moving back to NAS with some cheaper no frills remote backup just in case

I’m a fan of the WHY FILES. hit a similar genre as what you seem to like

yep, same here.

which brings up another good suggestion (since I haven’t seen it yet)… AvE. https://youtube.com/@arduinoversusevil2025. if you like smart, irreverent commentary on tool build quality and other similar stuff, this cannuk is freaking hysterical. and, I must say, quite informative
