Exactly! It’s so frustrating. I mainly deal with Eurocode, not computer code but the issue exists there too. It’s so vague that there’s whole another industry of people trying to decipher and explain what the code means and how it’s applied. The lack of examples have really driven people to insanity lol. In structural engineering there’s often no easy ways to test if your results are correct or not if you misunderstood the code…

It’s hard to even imagine to exist and not feel the need of being useful.

Sad to be honest. People are actively demanding the dismantle of welfare state here in the Nordics too. Arbeit macht frei and so on.

The post mentions Africa though, does it make a difference?

On top of that Americans pay more healthcare related income taxes than anyone else! Those could well be used to cover the expenses of a socialized system. It’s absolutely amazing that people think they don’t need it.

This one’s nut even that bad. Gas ovens are proven to cause asthma. Someone believing those are actual lungs wouldn’t be that bad.

It’s fun to say this, but at least BM is really able to do their main job and preserve the artifacts.

There’s dozens of cases where the original sites have been looted or destroyed by the origin country’s own leaders.

Storing the artifacts outside of the influence of an area’s internal issues is actually really wise. The BM’s real wrongdoing is not paying anything for the artifacts they’ve took. I argue they’ve done enough good to offset that a little. They’re bad but not the worst.

Well yeah that isn’t optimal but I doubt the PC will run any faster. If you were reaching thermal throttling temperatures with that paste you probably will hit them even after replacing the paste. Do you have a program like HWinfo that could monitor the temps and log if you’re hitting the throttle limit?

I saw an interview of a professional on this matter. Unfortunately I don’t remember his name but the points he made were thought provoking.

Today we consume more and faster media than ever, but few people ever spent all their time reading alone quietly or even watched TV focusing solely on the program. We listen to radio or a have conversation simultaneously. Our hunter-gatherer ancestors listened to each other’s stories while doing small tasks in their homes. Conversations between people flow and change subjects constantly. Almost like TikToks.

The point is that it’s nothing new that we engage in a combination of activities and like to surround ourselves with multiple or fast paced sources of information and stimulation.

My personal view is that TikToks being short or fast paced isn’t an issue. But there are other aspects that worry me. Social media videos cause many people to develop various degrees of parasocial relationships with the creators, and the content satisfies the need for actual relationships and can make real life and people seem boring.

Stick to Windows. Linux is fine for IT pros and as a hobby. For graphic design with Adobe I just don’t see your productivity would be the same.

Track 3 by Various Artists went hard 😤🤟

Someone pointed out that Pro version still doesn’t require sign in. I’ve only dealt with Pro and didn’t know it’s different than Home in this thing. Sorry for being overly confident.

Windows 11 doesn’t force you do any of that. Just skip the sign in. Your points were valid in 8/10 era but no more.
