pearsaltchocolatebar,

It’s probably related to doing literally nothing.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

And their catalog is actually super small now. My wife and I watch a bunch of horror movies, and I think there’s only like 20. They try to pad that number by pretending that foreign films are actually in English.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

I dislike apple for a lot of reasons, but the Vision Pro is bringing some pretty advanced new tech to the table.

This isn’t Apple’s typical MO where they stick meh hardware into a pretty looking case and jack up the prices.

This sort of tech has to start somewhere, and that’s always at a high price point.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Would this technically be anti-capitalistic? They’re refusing to charge what the market will bear.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Because you run the risk of corrupting files.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

You can make a thermostat with a raspberry pi, a few sensors, and a relay board. They’re pretty simple devices.

Really, you don’t even need a pi. An ESP8266 would be more than sufficient.

Source: I made my own thermostat from an esp8266, some sensors, and a relay board.

Wow, Sounds like you really need to work on your time management skills.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

I’ve stopped answering my dad’s phone calls since he only calls for computer help.

My mom still gets help because she at least tries to figure it out before calling me.

pearsaltchocolatebar, (edited )

Well, it’s hard not to beat zero effort.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

I like how archeologists never come to the conclusion that something could just be an art trend.

Everything has to have a useful purpose even though we all own stuff with no actual purpose.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

That’s why they’re buddies.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

I mean, it’s 98.6F on average. If it’s freezing that quickly then you’re looking at some extreme temperatures.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Did you not read the comic?

Also, I’m not sure why you think the government owes every citizen a house.

I’m not arguing against social safety nets, but straight up paying for housing for every citizen is how you end up with everyone living in shoebox apartments.

I’m sure that you haven’t even considered the numbers at all on this. If you think the current taxes will pay for it, you’re mistaken.

Even if we took the entire military budget, that would be less than $2,500 per citizen per year.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Not disagreeing, but the message of “cancel all rent and mortgages,” is silly and shows a clear lack of understanding on how the world works.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

“I don’t understand sociology or economics and expect everything to be provided for free”

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Might want to slap an NSFW tag on this.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

It should be circumvented, not rejected.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

What the actual fuck are you talking about? Do you need medical assistance?

pearsaltchocolatebar,

I honestly can’t remember the last time I couldn’t open a video file.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

An ad for what? Dodge hasn’t sold trucks for 14 years.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Huh, I was about to call bullshit, but I guess Ram is now a subsidiary of Stellantis.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

I see you haven’t had Mexican ditch weed, although I did always like quantity over quality.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

French horn, for sure. You’d be surprised at just how prevalent it is in music.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

I’d recommend getting into Asimov’s Foundation series. I, Robot is kind of a meh book from him, Imo (I’ve read all his fiction work)

Also take a look at Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park) and Arthur C. Clarke (2001: A Space Odyssey).

I’d also recommend Heinlein, but his books do get pretty “pervy misogynistic old man harem fantasies” in his later years.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

Mine is really just getting back into working out. I kept trying to go too hard after my shoulder surgery and kept pulling muscles (not in my shoulder), so I’ve taken like an 8 month break to let my body heal. This time I’m starting with my goal being 30 reps with perfect form at 5lb and going from there.

It sucks losing a bunch of muscle mass that you busted your ass to get, but luckily it’s easier to regain it than to grow it the first time.
