I would have responded.

This was gonna be my suggestion as well.

I also go in and prune the library every so often to get rid of my sister in law’s trashy reality TV shows.

I’d rather just close the lid and have it not be dead the next time I open it. Sure I could do a proper shutdown if I know I’m done for the day, but in an office running from meeting to meeting that’s not always how things work out.

I’d like the option of choosing between partial sleep and full sleep. When I pack up my work laptop for the weekend it sucks getting to a Monday morning meeting and having the laptop be dead.

Humans used to be so fucked up.

We still are, but we used to be too.

Employees who have UBI to fall back on aren’t forced to accept that starvation wage. UBI gives everyone a small amount of fuck-you money. Employers paying starvation wages would find themselves with a lack of qualified employees because people can afford to quit and look for a better job.

Many pipe organs from the mid to late 1900’s use similar electro mechanical technology to take the key presses and actuate valves in the organ closet to activate the correct pipe. I’d love to see him do a video on pipe organs, they’re amazingly complex!

I was wondering why they would care about firing shots into space, but then I realized that it’s probably not enough velocity to escape our orbit and would just add to the orbital debris issue.

If the velocity was such that the projectile could exit our orbit, it would probably be less risky.

There’s an interesting excerpt from one of the Expanse books about how all the rounds they fire from their space ships are probably going to travel through space for millions of years before they actually hit something.

This type of censorship seems like a pretty valid thing to criticize even though it’s pretty minor.

Iceland is already a pretty expensive place to visit and it’s honestly not that amazing (it’s beautiful for sure, but it didn’t stand out to me). Everywhere you go you have to pay to park and pay to camp. The food, drink, lodging, and transportation is super expensive already and a major part of their economy is built on tourist dollars. I’m curious to see how much the tax would be and how much of it goes to actually protecting their environment.

I’ve been enjoying BG3 quite a bit but I actually feel like DOS2 is more accessible as someone who has never played D&D. All the modifiers and weapon proficiencies and armor class things are really confusing to me as a noob. This complexity adds a ton of depth to the game but I feel like combat in DOS2 was more straightforward and I think I like it more.

Still haven’t gotten out of act 1 in BG3 yet so my opinion may change as I get more familiar with it.
