Are they though? Anyone can say they are the author on the internet. You can also just generate tweets online. Is this exchange even real? We can only access tiny fraction of reality with our sense. Is what we perceive actually there? Statistically it’s more probable that we live in a simulation than in a real world. Is this universe even real?

You’re technically right but the real issue is electoral college. For ranked choice to work on national level you would have to get rid of if. Which would require constitutional reform. Without it ranked choice and winner-take-all electoral college would result in a big mess. The most likely scenario would be for Republicans to organize and vote for one candidate while Democrats would split the vote between establishment Dem and some DSA candidate. To actually end 2-party system without giving the presidency to Republicans forever you would need ranked choice popular vote or 2-turn elections.

I had some simple Huaiway earbuds and they charged without issues. Then I got the Pixel Buds free with my phone and my god they suck. The charging/discharging seems to be completely random (not to mention issues with pairing and terrible fit).

The “war zone” was referring to difficult internet access. Iran recently cut off entire country from internet. If you’re going to USA you may be inspected but you will most likely get internet access once you crossed the border.

I never saw a strip of paper like that that was narrower than me so it could depend on size of the person.

I sometimes want to do this but then I realize I can make a better cake myself.

I think Jetbrains is still fine as an editor but yes, the tooling is getting worse and worse. I recently stopped using the DB tool because it simply wasn’t able to reliably connect to my databases. Dbeaver is working great with same databases. For a easy fix that would be my recommendation: community editor Jetbrain tolls for editing code, external tools for git/db/docker and so on.

For personal projects I use neovim and while is a great editor with all the features I need it is a constant struggle. Maintaining configuration is really difficult. If you’re using nvim already turning it into IDE can be a fun project. If you’re not familiar with it I wouldn’t recommend it for development. There’s just too much work.

This can be done on local level but on national level you would need constitutional reform which is extremely unlikely.

You realize this article is about big brands buying out companies with good reviews and lowering quality to increase their profits?

Yes, but you can just carry encrypted hard drive with you. Hiding encrypted data is useful pretty much only for legal reasons. You want to take it across border and are worried TSA agent will force you to decrypt it or something. What is safer in that case? Carrying a USB stick with hidden encrypted partition or not carrying anything at all and downloading the data later? I would say the latter. Smuggling encrypted data through custom checks into a war zone with limited internet access is the cool but unlikely spy games scenario I was talking about. Encrypted microSD card would be even more secure in that case.

I would upload encrypt file somewhere and download it when needed. If you’re worried someone will actually access your USB stick looking for encrypted data, why carry it at all? It’s cool if you want to pretend you’re a spy or something but it’s not very practical.

I understand the app is great

It’s not even that great anymore. In the recent years the app got bigger and bigger, the UI more confusing, it got intrusive features that are impossible to disable while not adding anything of value.

For example, it started playing distracting, ugly. looped videos by default with no clear way to disable this. At the same time it became impossible to say “don’t play this song even again”.

You think Trump is still doing taxes? 😂

Time for corporations to create “premium” brands with same quality as before but at 10x the price. Once those get popular lower quality again and pocket the profits. When people start complaining about lower quality create new premium brands…

He didn’t lose money. He’s using Truth social to manipulate stocks. This $238m was an investment that let him make billions.

This actually can explain a lot of it. Obesity epidemic in US is getting so bad that people need actual trucks to move them. A 300kg person will not be able to drive a sedan.

I don’t think choosing color counts as 60%.

Shit didn’t really hit the fan yet. Some boomers are dead already and those that aren’t enjoy their retirements now. They don’t have to worry about the future so they can take advantage of the last livable decades but will be gone before things get really bad.

If you would put a 5m tall bed there people on the street level would simply stand next to a 5m wall with a tree on top. That would be pretty terrible.
