What a bastard. Consider the plight of the multinational corporation. They are ashen faced in the C-suite mumbling lamentations, ‘number go down’ and ‘shareholder value’.

The logical evolution is Carpet Bagger.

America is a warrior nation. What they call news is actually fear mongering twaddle. Their heroic archetypes in film solve problems with violence. The state itself increasingly behaves like a robber baron. They are obsessed with weapons. School shootings are but one grotesque outcome of this pathology but however disgusting those events are, gun ownership is ubiquitous. It’s a society that would destroy itself rather than admit it’s wrong.

I don’t think a physical SIM is a guarantee that the phone number remains intact. The SIM is a token in the system that links a piece of hardware to a phone number and that link is maintained by the carrier. My phone spontaneously stopped being able to make calls and receive SMS. I went through the usual steps to rectify it but no dice. The carrier had to manually reconnect my number because it had become a victim of their periodic cull of disused numbers. Took quite a few calls over a period days to achieve this. ‘yes I have turned it off and on…’ ad nauseum.

Real smooth, like the cha-cha

It’s a racist dinosaur, what more do you want?

Subconscious has been deprecated in favour of unconscious.

The conscious part of any given activity is what we think of as the source of free will but it’s not certain how free that part is. I’ve had experiences where I don’t know who is deciding the actions I’m taking. When we become aware of a thought, what is the origin of it?

Let’s turn the clock back to the days when we burnt coal. Cheaper? No. Better for the environment? Worse. Appealing to racist grandpa’s? Bingo.

What are you good at and what do you like doing? If you have a mind for logic and systems then programming is an endless source of puzzles to solve. If you like working with your hands, metalwork or woodwork. If you appreciate beauty, arts and crafts. If you are very physical, sports. If you don’t know, try them all.

I think the level of noise filtering is lower in ADHD brains. It can lead to over-stimulation which means missing things and fatigue but a well rested ADHD person will tend to notice more than a NT. Being insensitive to the passage of time also gives the impression that we don’t care about meetings and are forgetful. Letting go of that has been a blessed relief.

That’s a creative use for the state handout that he receives for spacex, propping up the shareholders.

The war he started sure seems like a great idea if the idea is to maintain a healthy population level. Why does anybody listen to what politicians or business says? Isn’t population reduction a good thing for the environment, surely that must be among our most pressing concerns right now?

Excel was developed as a quasi accounting tool for keeping track of basic numerical data. Presumably it gained popularity with small businesses and within corporations. The way it’s used currently goes way beyond the original scope. I’ve personally met many people using it for PhD research and engineering, which is a testament to the versatility of the design but also, wtf.

The correct Francophile pronunciation is tiddy

These drones are literally hardwired to the controller, the physical layer is a fibre-optic filament through which all the control actions are sent and feedback received. Commercial grade drone control over radio is vulnerable to electronic warfare of which the Russians have a suite of tools at their disposal.

Player two enters the chat

The conversations in the Waking Up app are high quality and the participants are either well informed or experts. It’s meditation focused but they talk about many adjacent topics such as neuroscience, time management and philosophy. Hundreds of hours of content.

The good news is we can negotiate how we handle crimes against society and arrive at equitable and balanced judgements. The bad news is only rich and influential people are provided this luxury.

Alcohol is the good drug, we should make all the other ones illegal.
