I want to buy an old police cruiser (crown Vic) and chop it up into a rally car, and do the gambler 500.

Why do they think it’s necessary to fill every area with music
It should be ok for places to be quiet. If employees want music they should wear headphones. That way they could listen to what they want too.
Radiators? Nah, open loop. One end to the faucet, other end to the drain. If you’re on well water it goes right back down to where it came from.
I actually never thought about it until now. I hope it evens out since people who I like can use it too, and I like far more people than I dislike.
They’ve been raised on systems where you don’t need it, and they fundamentally don’t understand how one talks to a computer. It’s actually quite a bit to learn, and if you didn’t grow up doing it, it seems like a big cliff.
It took about a decade to undo the conditioning I gained in college and grad school to wake up every day at noon. Now, ten years later in my early 40s, I’m able to wake up at 10 am.
Did you just stop reading there? I was saying those projects should have atomic architectures so that “rewrite small parts when needed” can happen
Boy do I ever disagree with this.
For big projects, with multiple people and man-years of work, sure. Don’t start from scratch. But in my humble opinion, those projects shouldn’t really exist. Instead they should be atomic, made up of small page-length units which individually can be scraped and rebuilt.
For small projects, rewriting is often superb. It allows us to reorganize a mess, apply new knowledge, add neat features and doodads, etc.
I wish Ubuntu was just xUbuntu by default and that xfce didn’t have like 4 different settings menus for no reason. I’d also like it if there was a minimalist icon theme by default, and a dock like old school vanilla Ubuntu.
Oh and better multi monitor support
All humans are genetically similar. How come we all have different faces?
Moving in with my parents, saving, buying real estate and then renting it out.
Another house
Gotta build passive income for retirement
I thought I was introverted.
Then I spent 4 months in Antarctica for work, and holy shit. No. I’m not introverted. I need my friends and family around me at all times.
No idea where you live, but the tap water is amazing where I live (somewhere in the western United States). And it comes from a set of glaciers that’s basically behind my house.
If my tap water tasted bad I’d probably set up a solar still to purify it.

Senior software engineer for one of the big terrible companies
I’m a senior software engineer, I work about 2 hours a day for 3 days a week. I’m very privileged, but I went to school until I was 30 and have 2 advanced degrees so there’s that. Also I’m pretty sure I’m going to be laid off in Q1 2024 so I’ll probably retire.
I worked really hard long hours in grad school and in my first post doc, and I don’t ever want to be stressed like that again in my life.
Probably food service or retail. Just about anything customer facing, really. I’ve never done those kind of jobs but it looks really stressful, like the people doing them are always doing something. There’s no sitting around and watching movies in that kind of job.
Buy a cheap one every few years, treat it like shit, recycle it when it’s dead.
It’s sad that it’s less work and less expense to re-buy an inferior product in many cases. Especially kitchen knives. Razor sharp $1 knives at the dollar store are much less expensive over a lifetime than one nice $100 knife (that can’t go in the dishwasher). Same goes for socket wrenches.
In my country there was like 10 wonderful years when almost nobody smoked.
In the last 5-10 years all that got reversed by vaping, it’s everywhere now. Not as bad as smoking though.
