Chernobyl isn’t safe safe, it’s just safe enough for wildlife to survive there, possibly with lowered life span and quality of life.
Also, there’s a decent danger of radioactive dust coming off the book if it’s handled. It may not be that radioactive, but if it clings to you, or you breathe it in, it will do considerably more damage than if it was all one solid rock that made geiger counters click.
No, no, I know what hyperfocus is, it’s the reason I no longer touch creative writing with a ten foot pole after getting bombarded with “but you wrote this one in an hour and it is awesome! just write another one!” :D
I meant that I am wondering if normal people just get the same productivity but without it being flipped on or off randomly, provided they don’t get distracted by something. You know, kinda like learning that it’s not just a tv thing that people can say “okay, let’s do this” and actually sit down and do “this” and not have to beat their brain into submission first.
Oh yeah. Wonderful memories of psyching myself up to do Thing and then suddenly getting nagged to do Thing and dropping in absolute negatives on the good old motivation.
That’s a wonderful example at the end there, gotta remember it when I talk to people who don’t get why I was standing in doors dressed and couldn’t go outside.
I’m beginning to suspect “superfocus” is just what normal people do when they focus.
My anecdoral experience, although I was probably exagerrating a bit.
Still, if I take a break from twitter/bsky/cohost/spoutible/whatever for a month, I don’t come back to “we decided this account is banned now and you can’t get it back, have fun”. Lost three mastodon accounts like that before I just gave up.
Because there isn’t a good replacement. Mastodon is a mess with no reach and servers that will perma-ban you if you don’t post for a week, bsky is still kinda tiny, spoutible feels like “all politics all the time”, cohost is jank.
Nobody really left Twitter because Twitter is where everyone else is.
Three entirely different use-cases there. Commuting, logistics and… Well, the port thing is also logistics but it kinda shouldn’t intersect with a city downtown?
Not to mention that nowhere are cars completely restricted, you can have professional trucks and such.
Now, does everyone need to own their own car to move pianos, or should it just be a piano-moving service you hire the one time a year you need a piano moved?
It’s a bit wishy-washy. Food and housing bills are cheaper (a flat you own is like…$50-100 a month in a city that’s not moscow), but anything imported can get really fucking expensive - either you get cheap crap from china, or if you have to get something name-brand it is usually more expensive than it is in europe. Like how Valve Index ($1k MSRP) was like $2-3k in the shops.
So a person outside of moscow can be living on $100 to $250 but not be able to afford any luxuries that could be more afforable outside of russia.
It’s about double the average salary in Russia.
Because when you’ve got like 4 hours a week of free time to prepare for the game, grabbing something 5e compatible and ad-libbing parts you didn’t feel like preparing ahead of time is easier than learning a whole new system.
Ah, Midnight Commander, how have I missed you.
Yeah, it’s just expensive enough right now to make me question if I really want it.
Never even got around to buying a DS.
Maybe i should get one with an sd cart.
Wasn’t that episode based on a real story from some company?
Well, ignoring the mire of ancient bad idea compatibility, it’s nice to just have a REPL wherever you have a browser.
Man, I wish you could just use TS without some kind of preprocessor.
But I also wish JS had less footguns like “oh, this function returns an array-like object that has half of array methods… But not the one you want right now”.
Fair, but I’m trying to trick them into learning js here :P
On PC, you can open the browser console and type in
("your string").toUpperCase()
it’s usually on F12.
>> "Al".toUpperCase()
<- "AL"
Personally, I prefer duplicate keys to be eaten by the parser but I can see how it’d be beneficial to prevent them.
