But that post was about national politics in its purest form. Just a different nation.
Actually small group politics is the worst. There is? was? an Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded Santas* that was torn apart by small group politics. You would think that people who do santa to make children happy would be above stuff like that but you would be wrong.
Steamdeck jumping $250 that steam machine is gonna be two grand lol
I'm seeing 780 for the 512GB OLED, I think it used to be around 500 before for the same one.
Either way, around 50% price increase for hardware that's over 4 years old by now is depressing and the LCD apparently isn't available anymore.
3 things about the steam deck "selling out" that matter
One, they've really cemented fomo. Everything keeps going up. if you buy it now, you can sell it secondhand for more than you bought it for. You'd be stupid NOT to buy it. The universe is upside down. Electronics are appreciating assets.
Two, scalping
And three, they didn't say how many sold out means. We restocked with 5, and sold all 5 is quite a bit different than 10,000.
Music is an interesting one in that most people's tastes are defined early and rarely change. I couldn't name a single popular artist or song from the last 15 years. Everything I listen to is from the 90s-2000s or earlier.
Truth to be told, everytime the camera showed the Arsenal players and the fans during the PKs, either they were almost shitting themselvves or crying like they had lost already.
Some AI answer was that he avoids risks cause his many companies couldn't run without him.
I doubt either are the reason. I think if someone is as fascinated with space that he starts his own rocket company he'd take the chance to experience weightlessness of space if he gets the opportunity.
My guess would be either health related or he doesn't have faith in his own product.
Everytime I read someone saying AI as a "next-word guesser" I always think this is correct, but about as correct as saying a rocket is just a room filled with explosives, that explodes at launch and send you to the space, like the old looney tunes cartoons.
Is it correct? Well, the question isnt about being correct here, but how much such shallow explanation provides any meaningful insight to understand what is actually going on.
On unrelated notes, feels like I will finally cancel the contract to buy the home I was looking for, and starting the next week, Im free to look for a new place.
This time to rent. Because if I can rent, I can move faster than buying. Plus, renting for one year only, so I can properly plan my future, and move out of this city.
I already decided a new town to live. It is one small-mid sized city, that has one of the best cost benefit to live in this country.
The prices are considerably lower there. Im looking forward having a way better home with the same value I would invest here, plus in a city where I dont feel like Im surrounded by wild animals, garbage people and con artists.
Hoping I can already live in my new house before the World Cup starts. Giving Im only planning to live here for one year, I will even pay a little more to speed up and get this ***done as fast as possible.
Yesterday I meet my mother and she asked if I knew how to edit a video.
I smirked at that moment. If I knew how I edited my videos? I have been working on video editing about as much as my actual job, something about 40h a week, for 3 months straight.
So I told her I could do it. It was a simple job, she just wanted to put the images and a voice record in order.
I added some extra as transitions, a background image, a cover and applied some filter to improve the images.
Im planning to give up my current job between 2027~2028. Video editing is one possibility to work as a full time home office freelancer.
I will try exploring other ways to add revenue when I stop being employee, but at least, right now I have one alternative.
The current treatment includes a chemo agent and it its in the bloodstream not the bladder so there is no insulation from side effects.
Not all of them are bad. There is a strong suppressive effect on my psoriasis. My skin hasn't been this clear in decades. My dermatologist and I are both pleased.
On the down side there is a LOT of hair on my hairbrush. Not bald yet but if it happens I do hope I can rock it as well as Representative Ayanna Pressley. I have no desire to go wig shopping.
Otherwise nothing tastes right, appetite is down, I have itches, my skin and mucous membranes are dry enough that I got industrial strength moisturizer (so not used to that due to oily skin,) I am tired and low on motivation. Seeing as I am naturally lazy the last bit DOESN'T HELP AT ALL.
Other than that my attitude is still positive but it takes more effort to be snarky. Sarcasm is still easy but then again I learned sarcasm early from my mother. Snarky I picked up on my own in my teens much like my sex education.
I can relate, although my situation is different. I lost over 10 years on meds that had side effects at best equal to any benefit, often much worse. We still have a very long way to go understanding medicine, I'm afraid.
Bald is definitely the way to go, at least to me. The thought of the heat and itching from a wig would be unbearable.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
