asking this is like asking whether there is a single gym routine that works out all muscles of the body.

there isn’t. because what strains your pecs is different from what strains your glutes. that’s why we have different routines for different muscle groups.

the brain isn’t a just a simple little box. it has multiple functions which are triggered by vastly different stimuli. relying on “brain training” apps would be akin to only doing bicep curls every day–sure, your guns will be super but the rest of your body will still remain flabby and weak forever.

android peaked with the pixel 2. then everyone went overboard on bezel-less displays and fast refresh rates and smart assistant services and brought the whole damn thing crashing down.

it shows only after posting the comment, unfortunately in this instance.

intel? pfft. more like outtel, amirite?

i’d say such youtube skimpy try-on haul videos (nsfw).

what even are these?

“we don’t like the reflection, so we’re gonna break the mirror!”

my theory: men get themselves killed sooner doing stupid shit before the symptoms of the disease get time to truly manifest themselves.

and that skews the results of this study.

this is not a valid comparison. the number of people in and around cars–and the amount of interactions that the average person has with a car–vastly outstrips those near or using guns. by at least two orders of magnitude, one would estimate.

it’s like saying that the number of papercuts received is marginally higher than the number of intentional stab wounds and the media only focuses on one.

that’s how it should be. one of those two things impacts a larger percentage of the people that encounter it.

graduating is not daunting. not by any stretch. in fact, that’s the point where life peaks. everything after is a steep downhill ride.

yes, ai adoption has turned that downhill run into a cliff. but if someone thinks graduation is even remotely daunting, then they would struggle even in the most non-ai of worlds.

and their companies are biased against humans in hiring.

sometimes yes, sometimes no. i don’t have a blanket rule about it.

you can flush this spam post straight down the toilet (you know, where deuces are wild).

fuck me var is going to suck some worser balls, isn’t it?

i have a drawer which would otherwise have been empty, but thankfully i have a nexus 6p, a pixel 2, an lg q6, some lenovo phablet, and a galaxy note 5 to use up that space.

they also do make mighty fine paperweights if one is needed in a pinch.

california android. was that before or after ice cream sandwich?

it’s almost like playing with a full bladder is some sort of disadvantage.

you don’t tax the income. you tax luxury expenditure.

if they commission a yacht, they pay 200% tax on that. if they charter a jet, they pay 500% tax on that spend. if they retain a jet, they pay 800% tax on all its expenses from hangar parking to servicing to everything else.

the tax on any car above a guideline value should increase 1% for every 1% increase in value of the car. say, you pay 1% tax for a 1000 dollar car, 50% for a 1500 dollar car, 100% for a 2000 dollar car, 300% for a 4000 dollar car and so on. and not just on the sticker price, but on every service attached to that vehicle (insurance, maintenance, etc.) for its life.

similarly for luxury hotels, clothing, jewellery, watches, golf and ski resorts, and marriages in venice.

i have keepass on only one device. i don’t mind looking up individual passwords and typing them in manually when on other devices.

on the device which hosts keepass, the app is hidden and hoops must be jumped to reach it.

i back up the encrypted password database once a month to a cloud service as insurance against me losing that one device.

it’s not the most convenient setup but i sleep so much easier for it.

i nominate, as an alternative, Statistical Heuristic Imaginating Things.
