Man, I am 38. When I was in highschool I was in an alternative curriculum Math program called IMP, and it is/was literally what your talking about.

Instead of memorizing equations we were instead given a hypothetical situation and learned to solve it socratically both through conversations as a class with the teacher, and in small groups to try and figure out how to solve it. It made me love math so much I almost made it my life, it was literally everything I needed as a severely ADHD teen. Everything was a puzzle to be solved, and when you solved it you gained not just knowledge, but the perspective to know where the knowledge applies.

No idea, but I love their here cus I realized I finally had a use for Gemini! Been using it to translate the memes 😅

I do something similar to the clothing thing but with buildings. Like if I see an old run down store I think about if that was someone’s dream to run and it just didn’t work, or they retired and it fell apart. I develop weird empathy for buildings doing this 😅

You may want to look into other Debrid services as RD has said their going to start removing material (unless something changed since a month or two ago when they announced that, I switched off and stopped paying attention)

I live in MA and knew someone who worked for Chewy. Seems like a good company all around. Except their Return to Office was asinine (if you were within ~100mi of their Boston HQ you had to return to office. One hundred fucking miles.)

Fucking manipulative assholes, gunna order some cat food from them. That’ll show them what happens when you treat a customer this way!

There’s also Anubis, but it uses proof of work not a maze.

Now, that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. A long time.

Still have mine in the hard plastic case, such a neat piece of electronic history. Also a giant PoS, more screen door than a Lowes.

That’s actually a fascinating idea. All interstellar travel is based on the movements of the planets through space time. I bet it alternates between being technically faster and slower than FTL travel since you may have to wait for a time when your destination to pass into the planets past location.

Wow that’s a fun thought hole. Constraint certainly breeds creativity!

Well There’s Your Problem - Engineering disaster podcast, with slides! And the hosts vary from left, to very left.

JunkyardDigs/PoleBarnGarage - Two separate channels. Love them both for just fucking around with old cars/farm equipment/vintage snowmobiles

2015 Ford Focus ST

Traded in my 11 WRX for it after Subaru tried to dick me around on a warranty claim. It’s got 128k on it now and it’s been rock fuckin solid dependable outside of the gas tank sucking itself inside out lol. Ford handled that.

Which one do you have? That is pretty much my exact use case!

Same. I also sell the fact that it works xPlatform perfectly, so no more Android/SMS/iMessage fuckery happening.

I had major gallstone attacks a couple times a week for like 6-8 months before I finally drove myself to the ER at 2am after being woken by one. Was in surgery 3hrs later.

Was utterly excruciating pain in your abdomen, and it just grows and grows and grows, and lasts from 20minutes to over an hour. Nothing ever touched the pain either, and my PCP misdiagnosed it as extreme acid reflux and had me on Prilosec for months.

0/10, do not recommend. Plus not having a gallbladder kinda sucks ass.

In elemental school we had to write instructions on how to make a pb&j sandwich. The teacher then acted out your instructions literally, without adding or removing a step. I don’t think there was a single sandwich made that day.

Weird, cus it literally happened a few months ago:

This was in no way a Windows problem, this was entirely a CrowdStrike problem. Claiming otherwise makes you look like an uninformed moron.

To be mildly fair to Spotify Car Thing lasted for at least 3yrs. The worst part was, imo, it was really good. Like sure, my phone does voice commands but they work like 1/5 times. Car Thing worked nearly 100%, responded to anyone in the cars voice (pro/con depending on situation lol), and was a nice display for my preAndroidAuto headunit. Honestly I think the biggest mistake was that it was tied to a car, I used it on my desk for a while as a dedicated music control surface and it worked well. If more time went into making it just a universal Spotify controller it would have been much better as a thing. Have it mounted next to your receiver, or slap a battery in it and put it on a coffee table during a party and that would have been cool AF and requires zero phone interactions.

Roblox runs great on Linux, they just explicitly blocked it right?

Samsung has even cut most of the horseshit out. My S22 had like a few Samsung apps, they live in a folder and I never see them. But that is similar to all of the Apple apps you couldn’t remove either (don’t know if that’s changed, haven’t had an iPhone since the 4)
