I imagine they poached a lot of Spacex engineers by simply telling them “we won’t make you work ungodly hours, nor will we subject you to a narcissistic manchild with no engineering education dropping in on your meetings and trying to tell you how to do your job”
Not sure if you noticed, or if sorghum noticed, but the link about dried beans they had in their reply refers to another blog post about your question. The author found that yes, homemade bread is cheaper when considering electricity costs, but obviously YMMV depending on power costs and the price of equivalent store-bought bread

This happens to me too, especially when it’s a computer that I haven’t used in a while, which makes me think that yeah it’s the arms race. It stops once my browser is open long enough for uBO to update
The porn industry, like many industries, is very exploitative of those who do the actual work.
A lot of the other replies here are very cynical about simps, loneliness, etc but a much more optimistic view of it is adult performers gaining complete control over their careers. They get to decide their own schedules, exactly what kind of content they want to make, keep (almost) all of the money that their content generates, and maintain ownership of their content.
There’s a documentary called “Rise of OnlyFans” that was pretty shittily produced, but I learned some pretty wild things from the interviews in it, e.g. when they did a shoot for a normal porn studio, they would only get paid $100 FLAT for a video that would take several hours to make. Like yeah, that’s more than minimum wage, but they’re certainly not shooting every day and that’s peanuts compared to what the video generates in revenue
AI is such a loose term that calling anything with if-else statements “AI” wouldn’t be lying (I learned about decision trees in my university machine learning class and those are just giant nested if-else statements)
I like front ends so I have a record of what I have and have not played, and so I can easily pickup where I left off with series and playlists, but to each their own
the French and English like being separate
Ah right, history. Shoulda seen that one coming
Conferences for URC could work I think, just gotta make sure traditional meetups and rivalries are maintained, e.g. provincial Irish teams playing each other
I wouldn’t say college football is necessarily a step down from pro, at least when it comes to Top 25 teams playing each other. In fact there’s lots of football fans that care more about college than pro. At top programs like Michigan, tickets can be on the same level as pro - I mean, lookup pics of their stadium, it rivals some pro stadiums
Props to the artist for the spot-on character renditions from each game. Lots of effort for a 4-panel comic
This happened to a girl I knew that tried to make some money on onlyfans during Covid lockdown. Only lasted 4 months, even though she was pretty attractive. I think guys just assume that as a girl, you can simply post nudes online and make money, while it actually does require consistent effort, marketing skills, and a bit of luck.
Pre-smartphones, my parents were always yelling at my brothers and I to stop texting at the dinner table.
Post-smartphones, it's now vice-versa and unless we remind them to put their phones on silent beforehand, their phones inevitably erupt in alarms at full volume reminding them to call Marianne back or whatever
Respectful enough to call it GNU/Linux, but not support it... lmao
Computer science is more of a math degree than anything else
