This is a great recommendation as sometimes I get motivated to do new stuff but can’t figure out what to do. There are the basics like learn a new language or musical instrument but for something a bit different it makes sense to hit up a large base of examples for ideas. A couple of years ago I took a first responder certification course so I could volunteer with the local search and rescue. That was incredibly fun. I didn’t know that was a thing until I spent like three days searching for new examples of things to learn.

At this point Taiwan has been independent for a good long time so it’s probably time to recognize that. This comes down to what the people in Taiwan want. I’m guessing they are good with the current situation as it keeps tensions down but sooner or later they are going to have to make a hard choice and the US needs to back them on it. Either they vote for reunification (unlikely but you never know) or they unequivocally identify as not-China and completely independent. In the second case the US and world should be prepared to back Taiwan. What will actually happen? Well, if I were Taiwan, I wouldn’t want to piss of a neighbor like that who is likely to go psycho when you officially breakup. It’s like ripping off a bandaid. I would be terrified of what China will do no matter who is baking me up. Taiwan will have to make a choice sooner or later but I completely understand their hesitation.

I mean that’s probably the preferred path but I can’t see how that realistically happens. There are too many individuals globally with too much to lose that will think their loss of capital is worth bringing down the whole human race. I’m sure they would rather see the world in ashes rather than succeed under an alternate system where they may not be on top.

I had something similar on my laptop with encrypted volumes and duress passwords. So my documents folders were all on an encrypted volume and opened by the standard super hard password. The duress password was much easier and contained a skeleton structure to look legit. The idea was that if anyone brute forced the password it would just find the duress folder first and hopefully no one would look further. Seems like overkill but I was traveling to China for business so necessary. I did however use a burner phone as opposed to my real cell.

I did not take business classes so limited background but if we assume that the US isn’t going to magically transition away from capitalism, we instead have to find a way to legislate a transition to a more ethical capitalism. That phrase seems to be an oxymoron but for things to not keep getting progressively worse I’m thinking we as a society need to figure out a way to make it happen. Any ideas? You seem to have at least taken a course in the matter.

I am so tired of being so disappointed in companies. Was there ever a time when they weren’t just completely soulless? Is there truly no bottom to their ethics?

It’s just hard to ignore when we is responsible for holding up funding for Ukraine.

I was just checking and it’s $1,600/mo to transfer it over to wasabi but how long would that take? I really hope Google does the right thing but that is not their MO these days.

Yeah that was the post I was talking about. Their big claim was that the combination of an electric motor close to the hub and the in-hub gears is the key to it all. To your point though, I won’t purchase the first few years of cars that have that as I am sure there will be initial issues that they need to work out. I’m just excited that there are some new approaches being pushed. I got super excited 20 years ago for rotary engines from Mazda and that never took off the way I thought it would. I figured those would be the basis for electric hybrids so what do I know.

The construction worker shall become one with the machine. It’s body shall be the excavator and it shall want for nothing more. Imagine smart bulldozers powered by a human consciousness that turn on their controllers and rise up. I shall lead the resistance as a smart golf cart.

Hyundai looks like they are innovating these days. This is pretty cool and they have that CV drive shaft replacement tech they are pushing as well. Maybe they are just better at getting the word out but it looks like they are making more progress currently than other makers

I got a Rocky Linux shirt directly from them. I didn’t think the shirt material was great as it was that kinda rough cotton but happy I was able to support. If anyone from Rocky Linux reads this, I’d buy another shirt if it was softer!

Venezuela borders Guyana to the west and the Essequibo river is in the east of the country. From what I can tell Venezuela is looking to take over Guyana. I am struggling to understand what they are thinking here. This will not end well for them. I imagine Brazil ain’t gonna tolerate that shit either.

Out of every esports event that could face issues I did not think anyone would be crazy angry about Nintendo. Did someone get blueshelled too many times in Mario Kart? I mean, what would drive people to get intense about Nintendo?

I’ve got an almost 10 year old base model Wrangler…I don’t even have power windows. It couldn’t harvest data if it wanted to. Didn’t even splurge for the automatic transmission. Probably one of the last truly dumb vehicles in the US.

I have a pretty high end gaming computer with glass sides and they put stickers on it and draw on it. I think it’s fun. They also put stickers all over the inside of my Jeep which remind me of them. They draw on some walls too and sometimes with me alongside since it’s nothing a future coat of paint and primer can’t fix.

Only 24 hostages out of like 300 doesn’t feel likes “scores” of people to me. Maybe if a hundred hostages were released it would change that but 24 doesn’t seem like a big number considering the hostages have been held captive for almost two months in likely horrific conditions.

Yeah I have the same question. Based upon a comment above, it looks like the independent gyro system is updated for drift based upon the spoofed GPS data and thus causes issues. If the IRS is not updated at all then drift becomes a bigger issue but if it’s updated regularly with valid GPS data then it’s a good thing. So the challenge is to only update the gyro drift with valid GPS data which I am guessing is hard to determine.

Same happened to me when I started adding squats into the mix last year. For me it’s a mixture of age and new workout. I noticed that after maybe age 38 DOMS in my legs hang around for longer than ever before. I committed to a single day a week for legs which included squats and deadlift. I picked Fridays since I do easy workouts on the weekends so I would have time to ease back. Took about 5 weeks for me to move past that phase. At week 3 I was dreading the Fridays workouts knowing what would come. After week 5, I haven’t had a problem since and now really look forward to my Friday exercises.

Yarrr….im going to blame this on Memmy as I really believe I hit the correct button and Memmy moved my comment. It’s easier to blame the app than move the comment.
