To answer the titular question, “one day at a time”

Life has no meaning. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves, to borrow a movie line.

I have no grand plan, I have no ultimate purpose. I just am here, and one day I will be gone. Hopefully I can make some other people’s lives better in the meantime, although I certainly wouldn’t say I’m living for other people.

All it does is make me think “wow, Samsung is really cheaping out with the logic staff, strike harder!”

Personally I’m a big fan of Antarctica.

Never seen their people or government do stupid shit.

Every time I see"court orders striking workers to go back to work" I always wonder yo myself why they think that will work.

Of course, I’m even MORE baffled when it works.

You guys had them so terrified that they got courts involved, and you think THEY Hold the power?

Protip: if you hold out long enough, fines will be dropped. If you hold out long enough, their resort is to put you in jail, in which you still won’t be working (for that company, anyway)

Also there’s a super secret move where you and your coworkers drag your employer out of their home in the middle of the night.

Even if it weren’t convenient and they were just pissed that day…

Free speech: “I think nazis and their modern counterparts should be killed”

Direct threat: “I am going to kill these specific people”

Ah yes, the “Ukranian imperialism” that is checks notes “defending their country from imperialist expansion by Russia”

Fuck off, fascist mouthpiece

Lmao sure it was “the libs” and definitely not the government that actually did things.

I’ve seen plenty of different types of solar panels, some specifically for agriculture use that have small gaps between the solar cells to allow for more sun to reach plants.

I’m not sure how that affects solar panel output/longevity but it can’t be too much of a hit.

I hope someone can do this to microslop, then it’ll get fixed in 20 minutes. (and break 6 other things in the process)

Had the DOJ just purchased it from the start, we would never even be hearing about it.

Again.

I was planning on buying my wife a laptop so we can play games together. Not anymore.

I was also hoping to upgrade my RAM this year, but that’s definitely not happening now.

Honestly I probably just won’t be upgrading for another 5-7years.

Crazy how greed will drive off all business even after the price spike has come down.

Nah, I want someone to like me for me, not because magic.

On the one hand, you kind of are making yourself a lie of sorts, which is unethical.

On the other hand, presumably the magic is permanent and that’s just the new you, forever, so it’s not a lie. You’ve just changed your personality to fit their desire/needs.

So much in the way that Aladdin became a prince via phenomenal cosmic power, he really was a prince and not a fake prince, and therefore never really lied to jasmine about that (he just about literally any part of his past as a prince, since he wasn’t until yesterday), because genie magic isnt some cheap parlor trick.

So yeah, as long as you are the one permanently changing and you don’t lie about it then I guess that’s okay with me.

Benches as an example do show up on renderers like Carta (the one on the OSM website) and can be genuinely useful to individuals.

HOE LI FUKK!

As partner to someone with degenerative and chronic disorders (and the most able-bodied person multiple people trust to push their wheelchairs) this will come in SO handy, and I’m definitely going to be micromapping the shit out of every park and downtown area I visit.

Lmao imagine Arguing what is legal and what is illegal when discussing dealing with ICE and all the illegal shit they do with impunity every say

RTGs do get put out in space, however they aren’t used for everything. If a single rocket experiences Spontaneous Unplanned Disassembly while carrying an RTG, it’s a disaster that spreads radioactive materials.

The entire point of an RTG is to use the waste heat as power, and if I understand RTG design, the cooling fins are to provide the difference in temperature that thermoelectric modules need to produce power. So there isn’t a ton of heat that it gives off in general.

Look at the international space station. It has massive radiator panels, and all it needs to do is house humans and the equipment to keep them alive. A lot of bulkiness of space suits is dedicated to heat management.

The #1 product of data centers is massive amounts of equipment-killing heat. That heat either gets radiated via massive radiator panels, or the space data center cooks it’s own equipment.

Also it will now absorb much more heat and heat the water more, likely making filtration much more complex due to changing water conditions.

My pool always gets gross the day or two after a Heatwave starts, and until I ut more chlorine tabs and algaecide, I don’t even like to be near it.

The POOL is fairly simple to get back in line.

This massive reflecting pool? Not so much. Bare minimum the whole system will need redone.

And she might have supported Israel in an ongoing genocide!

And started a trade war!

Sure glad none of this stuff is happening.

I got kicked out of my in-laws for yelling at my spouse s sister for saying this.

My response was “What the fuck did you just say to her? Other people have it much BETTER than you do so why the fuck are you acting so fucking happy? That’s how fucking stupid you sound.”

For context, she had spent the entire 7 hours she had been awake sitting in a hot tub drinking wine and tequila instead of being a parent, and basically dumped all the responsibilities for the children of the day onto the only othertwo adults present, one of whom was having a panic attack. I was les than happy when I showed up after work to pick my spouse up and walked into chaos and her sobbingand hyperventilating in the bathroom.

My In laws are terrible people.
