camelbeard,

No it’s just borrowing, it’s temporary anyway, I recently looked at some movies on a very old harddisk and it was like DVD quality or worse. Threw the entire disk out.

camelbeard,

I have an nvidia card and don’t game, that Intel might be the better option.

At home I hang most of the clothes, but we where at a short trip and we had some wet towels and swimgear, so de decided to just do one full laundry with most of our wet and dirty clothes. The first duration before I even started the cycle was that it should be done at about 16:10 it was actually done more than an hour later.

camelbeard,

It’s a washer and dryer, so it did both

camelbeard,

With the way the world is going, maybe it’s better to keep the military around for a while.

camelbeard,

Money is just a tool to get the things we want anyway.

camelbeard,

Red, that would give me 30+ years of life. I would also try to get older healthier.

camelbeard,

That was actually my point, you don’t go for money because you want money. You go for money because you want things money can get you, house, car, safety, status, etc (different for everyone). In this case money can’t even get you what you really want, so it’s a useless tool.

Or a website where they post stuff like that? Like the schools website? My son’s school has it’s own app where they post updates, photos, etc. Not a huge fan of another app, but at least it’s not public and I’m not forced to use Facebook or Twitter.

camelbeard,

I also don’t like that he sometimes interrupts his guest or just starts talking about something about himself instead of asking follow-up questions.

I tried so many distros in the last decade, but I recently had to start with a fresh setup again and I went with Linux Mint. I think it’s the most underestimated workhorse you can get. Everything just works, tons of help online if you need it and instead of tweaking it forever you just get work done.

camelbeard,

Why? Regular nutting is actually healthy. A no porn november or something like that I could understand.

camelbeard,

Mayonaise is amazing and it beats ketchup on fries 100%

camelbeard,

This was the one for me, was running Debian a few years ago, I was really happy with how everything worked.

But at work I noticed a lot of tools I needed where pretty old. Like an old version of maven or an old version of Firefox or npm.

You can probably work around it, but I just went back to Mint again.

Yes just saying it’s only luck is just wrong.

Even the rich (not the super billionaire rich), yes they had luck but there is definitely more. Like I work as a freelancer in software development. Lots of people I have worked with are smarter and more talented than I am, but I still make more money. Because they never took the risk of going freelance and keep working for a company that takes halve the money a client pays.

Some people just don’t like to take risks

These super rich people usually took big risks, worked for almost free for a while until it started to pay off. Of course for every billionaire there a 1000s of people that took the same risk and completely failed.

camelbeard,

In Dutch we have werknemer and werkgever.

Werknemer takes work (person with a job)

Werkgever gives work (company hiring people)

camelbeard,

What kind of things do you need to do? For software development my experience is that it’s just install and you can start working. Maybe one tutorial to get kubernetes running locally.

My PC is hacked

I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder… Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

camelbeard,

This just reminds me of how much miss reply all

camelbeard,

At some point we will probably do geo and it probably will be from planes. I’m not talking about some conspiracy or something. I’m talking about how we are just not going to fix climate change before it’s really going to be a huge problem (and at that moment it’s too late to fix it with carbon reduction).

Let’s say we stop all human carbon sources right now, that is not going to remove any of the CO2 we already have in the air.

camelbeard,

Absolutely, I planted some tomatoes and very spicy peppers. All of them failed (planted in the wrong month I guess). Definitely a learning experience and definitely something I’ll try next summer.

I really hope the plants survive the winter, but I might have to start from seed again

camelbeard,

Same here, but Netflix is going to increase prices again, so that might be the final straw to ditch them for me

camelbeard,

I responded somewhere above in the conservation.

It was something I heard this professor say in a podcast and there was also a newspaper article about it.

This English items doesn’t say the straw bit, but it does say 4KG of microplastics during its lifetime

theguardian.com/…/car-tyres-are-major-source-of-o…

After some Googling, a car tire will last about 50K miles. After 50K miles it has lost 4KG of microplastics. A car has 4 tires so 16KG.

16000 grammes per 50K miles, is almost 1 gram per 3 miles.

First Google result Straws on average weigh so little—about one sixty-seventh of an ounce or . 42 grams

camelbeard,

It’s an article from a Dutch professor, unfortunately paywalled

fd.nl/…/autobanden-de-grote-vergeten-vervuiler

On his linked he summarized some points

nl.linkedin.com/…/carlo-van-de-weijer-961998_auto…

Google translated

Column FD

  • In the Netherlands, a total of around twenty million kilos of tire grit in various degrees remains in the environment every year.
  • **A car threw the equivalent of a plastic straw’s worth of microplastics out the window every five to ten kilometers. **
  • You cannot remove microplastics from the water with a well-intentioned ocean filter.
  • Time to start working on more sustainable or, better, biodegradable tires.
camelbeard,

Here’s another “fun” fact, with every 3 miles you drive you will polite about 1 straw of microplastics from the cars tires.

camelbeard,

Also just looking at history isn’t going to solve anything. If that was the only solution we can just get any map remove all borders everywhere and discus how to draw them based on history. We all know this is just going to be a never ending discussion because it just depends on what snapshot in time (of the world) you take as your truth.
