Everything is wrong unless it’s not, duh. Context is everything!

I imagine you could reuse those.

Additionally, iirc a lot of these are unethically farmed too, like force feeding them in captivity and collecting the droppings. This also reduces the quality.

May not be super intuitive, but getting rid of them is intellectually lazy. If you know an hour is 60 minutes, it makes enough sense.

If an hour is 60 minutes, 60/12 is 5 minutes per number on the clock. Long hand is minutes because there are more minutes in a day than hours. Or at least that’s how I can rationalize it.

If you can explain an analog clock that quickly, it’s just lazy for them to not learn it. It also has cross application to make people more comfortable with mental math and multiples commonly seen in trigonometry.

Absolutely correct. CAT 5e should be able to max out at 125MB/s.

Damn, beat me to it!

If you want your life to change, you yourself must be open to change. Life itself is change. What exactly are you clinging so fiercely to? Misery? There’s a reason they say misery loves company.

Don’t aim for happy; aim for neutral, aim for peace, aim for not miserable. All of those are an infinite improvement.

Ok, let me be fair and clarify my FFXIV story. Yes I did meet my SO in a video game, and that all does sound too good to be true. What I left out was the hard work getting myself into in therapy and on a path to meaningfully and deliberately work at being happy. By the time I met my girlfriend, I was already in a much better head space, and I was already trying to put myself out there to actively start dating.

Regarding your other comment about life that doesn’t reproduce being not worth living, I don’t buy that for a second. All life hits a dead end. All will need to contend with The Big Freeze, The Big Rip, or The Big Crunch.

Life is meaningful precisely because it is finite. Infinities are a dime a dozen. And infinities await us all.

Made a friend in Final Fantasy XIV, which then blossomed into more. She moved across the country to be with me. We are one of those super-affectionate-joined-at-the-hip couples.

A lot of businesses can get by with just a browser these days.

Biden has no balls. He should take one for the team and order the execution of SCOTUS. Either he gets prosecuted or he’ll put an end to this nonsense by force. Even if he gets prosecuted he’s old as fuck he’ll never see prison.

Credit cards are fine for people who can control their spending. I never pay interest, so I get my rewards for free and am building my credit. If you cannot control your spending habits, you might consider a card with a low limit.
