In a maybe similar vein, car exhaust is stinky, and industrial colors (lacquer) is toxic to inhale.

i bring the bag from home.

joke’s on you, i use a shopping bag

Well … just like the US economy is kept alive by the constant threat of unemployedness and therefore homelessness, the US society is kept moving by the constant “winning group”/“losing group” divide. If you would heal incels, there would be no “losing group” to look down upon anymore, and the US would have to create a new one, thus perpetuating the problem.

There is only two options: UBI or civil war.

yeah, it really seems that way. close the borders so that the future can’t get it. i love that, i must remember it.

don’t smoke, it kills

I always thought about it more in a metaphorical way.

“Alchemists are trying to produce gold (valuable materials) out of less valuable materials.”

also known as philosophy

for me it’s easy because i mostly remember what i just made. but that’s also because i pay special attention to what i do and what comes out afterwards, kinda to do semi-structured research.

yeah but there’s also a lot of people just seeing cooking as a chore and never really paying attention to it, therefore not learning much or anything at all.

it takes patience and a bit of dedication to actually learn cooking in a reasonable way. otherwise you’re just following recipe.

also, if you do write down the recipe and try to recreate it on another day, it doesn’t work because your mood has changed and now the flavor doesn’t match anymore.

has happened to me many times now.

Well i read somewhere that in absence of signals the brain would just gradually become more sensitive until it even responds to things that aren’t there, basically hallucinating.

As the saying goes, there’s only two hard problems in IT:

Caching, naming things, and off by one errors.

The problem is that they’re not really made for this task, both in hardware and available software. They typically specialize in routing and switching, but have insufficient internal hardware (memory especially) to run a full-blown OS.

So whatever you install on these devices, will probably not give you all the features that you would like to have. (For example, a full linux command line with all the typical programs installed.) Also, it doesn’t allow you to use HDMI to connect to a monitor, so there’s that. But basic linux things can be done on it, if you figure out how to get to the command line. But it’s very limited.

you’re on a highway to hell.

I agree with you especially on the definition order of functions. I, too, define main() first.

let the chaos reign

This reminds me a bit of this photo:

We thought the data was forever, but somehow not so.

If you have no money, and throw away all of it, you still have no money.
