Domash Qudaibergen’s high end is downright angelic during the climax of the song.

Skedaddle, I like how it can be playfully dismissive and throw people off when they’re angry.

My favorite foreign word is Inverno (Italian for Winter).

Not work for 4 months straight.

If it makes you feel better, most of my major fuck ups are cooking related. I was boiling down some dr. Pepper for jerky marinade and fell asleep. Didn’t wake up to alarms until my wife woke me up. Pretty embarrassing, and really makes you doubt your own ability to do things. Eventually you get over it and just get cagey about the very specific lead up steps, which is probably a good thing.

I’m one of the messier people here (male), and I wonder if it’s because I think of cleaning as an efficiency thing. Like walking around and getting it all at once is quicker per item than taking each thing to the kitchen individually. The cleanliness does bother me, but not that much unless I don’t have enough surface area to do what I need to do at any given time, which is when I clean it all at once. It’s highly bases on the inconvenience of the space and hardly on the appearance unless I have guests.

Obama did win, and it was for his commitments to green energy and climate change. It’s widely considered bad to award people before they follow through to the end, especially for the nobel committee. I think they were trying to use it as further motivation to keep those commitments, but if anything it’s usually the opposite… at least when they give them to sociopath politicians. Could definitely be worse than Obama though.

Edit: Reading more on it, it looks like it was also for nuclear non-proliferation. I guess both are pretty valid awards for Obama, even if he could have done far more, especially in his first two years.

I was gonna post this too… Amazing game, combat mechanics in modern games still haven’t caught up. Also that ice spell makes the game.

Literally every battle mechanic in that game was top notch. Think linear single player Mordhau with spells and your character has demon strength.

Fountain pens. They don’t make custom alloys of gold specifically for their nibs any more because they’re not ubiquitous. An old “wet noodle” italic Parker or Waterman is a writing experience to behold.

These and I’d add Crutchfield, Sweetwater, and Best Buy has good sales.

For components, the standard Mouser, Digikey, and McMaster-Carr

Peter Jones - Kilkelly (Ireland), it also has an interesting backstory

It’s very sad, but indicative of the time.

Dells latitudes are more repairable than the average, but I’ve had pleasant experiences with some gaming acers, HP omen, and XPS laptops. Mostly deal with Dell latitude and precisions though

Including themselves as mandatory in the service isn’t exactly a win for right to repair. Dell batteries cost us about 65 dollars or less and they ship them directly to us with no certification requirements. They also offer extended warranties up to 3 years on batteries and 5 years on components.

For laptops the battery replacements are easy to do usually. Apple is the only one who’s devoted their whole brand to making it impossible to repair full sized devices. I’ve replaced about 15 random dell laptop lithium batteries in the last year.

Artificial stem cells seem like the next thing to really revolutionize medicine.

Quantum computers for brute force hacks seems doable in 100.

Eye tracking pointer devices will likely be more convenient than mice within a dozen or two years. This will probably be widely available for people who are paralyzed first.

Diamond processors are always 10 years away, but I think we can do it in 100. This would revolutionize the amount of power we can put through a chip without worrying about cooling.

Quick charge capacitor replacements for standard rechargble batteries

Low yield fusion plants. I’d like to think of them as capable of high yield, but it’s much harder than initially thought. Some ideas are quite promising for low yield.

That’s a shame, I didn’t realize how culturally isolated they were. I appreciate the redirection of my black and white analysis to a more nuanced one. I would always research a topic much more if it wasn’t specifically about my general vibes on it.

How do you feel about Qatar’s labor abuses such as confiscating passports?

I see that https://rch.qa/qatar-labor-law-can-your-employer-legally-keep-your-passport/ shows this is now strictly illegal, but also understanding how employer employee power dynamics affects legal systems I’m dubious of real change having happened.

As far as I’ve seen, they’re not matching Modi’s Hitler vibes, but you likely know more than an ignorant outsider. I mostly just hate fascists and see India as incredibly problematic.

Maybe just the power dynamic. India is far more powerful, although they both have nukes.

Qatar as a labor exploiting oil nation, yep.

Pakistan I don’t associate with those things. I mostly associate them as the good guys in the culture war with India that causes Indians to come on to America social media and post the most deranged broken English shit you’ve ever heard about Muslims.

Every once in a while the bank ceo would show up, so a lot of his buddies would show up and do banking business. Lots of times that meant they’d be cashing checks bigger than 10k and then having absolute bitch fits about us needing their social and profession for the CTR. Without skipping a beat, they’d go get our do nothing ceo and then he’d come out and accuse the teller running the transaction of sucking at their job and to just do it and put his initials on it. We’d then call our lower level boss and she’d say, “Just run it through with these details from the last time this asshat showed up” and We’d never mention that we still did all of the reports to our CEO despite being told not to.

Idiot would have got the bank shut down by the government if anyone actually listened to his nepo-grandpa ass.

UTI or a problem with your ureter. Get it checked out, I had an artery wrapped around mine, and I got extreme pain leaning back starting with puberty, didn’t get it checked out, eventually had a mass of scar tissue removed in my 20s, not fun. I had to go in when it caused a stone to form, and the doctor was so intimidated by it he sent me to a regional specialist.

It’s an accurate statement, although most if not all public forums are. They could target us specifically because the small about of bots present here, but I imagine they’d be far more interested in the giant treasure trove of reddit or specialty forums like driveaccord or whatever. Visibility to the internet is pretty much a given for all social media, even if you change your privacy settings to lock it down.
