Honestly the drama sounds like it is the extra work that these guys aren't being paid enough to deal with. They're wise enough to know to stay out. Compartmentalization is key here.

I heard an argument for this that I hated. Someone confessed this was how they drive on purpose. They set cruise for speed limit or just under so everyone who wants to pass can do so on the right. They don't have to worry about traffic merging or trying to get over for an exit. It's all so they can sit on their phone and not have to pay attention to other drivers and be somewhat safe about it.

It makes sense, but it has the same energy as the people who drive around with their brights on all all the time so they can see slightly better, and F everyone else.

Wow, all that with an esp32. No fancy hardware needed.

The assumption that washing toilets and cleaning dishes can't be a high paying job. If nobody wants to do it scarcity will drive up the salary. The problem isn't the job, it the minimum wage attached to the job making it undesiarable.

If you pay a plumbers hourly rate to clean toilets, I can guarantee you people will be lining up to be toilet cleaners.

This feels about right. I have an OLED and I got it about 6mo after it came out. I'm rocking it most days, and it doesn't feel End Of Life. But I could see maybe wanting a new one in a few years.

I'm looking for some good space opera. I read a lot on royal road and KU. I love space opera, but I'm sick of military and AI tropes. Any good suggestions? The more ship to ship battles the better. I understand that may be counter-intuitive, but I've read several privateer/freighter/scrapper books that were amazing. Looking for more of the same.

Thanks!

You can shop around for crematoriums near you. Most of them in the US pick up the body as part of their fee. $300-800 to cremate a body. They mail you the ashes in a plastic bag. Some will offer urns, but that's an extra charge you can skip. Most states don't consider burying ashes the same as burying a body. Different laws. You can prepay, and have a card in your wallet with the company's info on it in case someone stumbles upon your body.

My wife and I have spoken about what we want done. My plan for her is to cremate her, then go to a local nursery and find a nice hearty, long living, low-maintenance flowering tree she would have liked and plant her and the tree in my back yard.

The tech behind starlink is good. LEO satellites play a purpose. Upsides are they have less latency than GEO satellites. Speeds are the same though.

Downside is you have to deploy them evenly as a constellation or else you get service inturruption. Which means if you look at any population map 90% of your constellation is going to be underutilized, and the other 10% is going to be full.

The real target audience should be mobile broadband. Airplanes, ships, RVs, cars, phones, etc.

But what do you do in the meantime? Fill in the unutilized constillation with rural residential. You can't compete with fiber tech, so you sue the govt for free money.

Go OLED if you can, grab a 1tb sdcard for storage expansion. Watch a few people tweak the settings of a game and the graphics card. You can force lower settings and make a game have higher fps and much longer battery life and not really see a loss in graphics due to the smaller screen. Also watch a few tutorials on tweaking steam controller settings. So you can pick up some rando game that's built for kb/m and make it work nice with a controller. Especially gyro, FPS games are more fun being able to gyro the crosshairs a little for micro movements like targeting the head.

Also once you get it, play Aperature Desk Job. It's free, and is a nice 30min tutorial of your deck.

It's a modern thing. Basically it's all just commercialization. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gendered_associations_of_pink_and_blue

Look at the photo of him standing. It's visible through his pants, it doesn't look thin.
