I always tell people I’m all about going 💰green💰that’s why I drive an EV, have solar panels, and buy second hand for almost everything.

I took a different approach, I put my keys on a carabiner so I jingle when I walk. It makes it really hard to accidentally startle people.

How much you want to bet we’re going to start having military parades to “show off our strength”.

The US doesn’t do military parades. George Orwell said it best in 1941, “Why is the goose-step not used in England? There are, heaven knows, plenty of army officers who would be only too glad to introduce some such thing. It is not used because the people in the street would laugh. Beyond a certain point, military display is only possible in countries where the common people dare not laugh at the army.”

+1 for Zenni. Been using them for years, and just bought a new pair yesterday. Paid $50 for a top end pair of glasses, can easily get a pair for $20 if you don’t want all the fancy coatings.

My side hustle is real estate photography. Very flexible timing and I already had all the equipment. If I didn’t already own the equipment I wouldn’t have done it.

They are the reason the Soviet Union was a near peer to the USA during the cold war. When the Soviet Union lost Ukraine they lost their engineering and manufacturing sectors.

Heck up until the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, Ukraine was the one servicing all of Russia’s nukes.

I first heard of Pavlov from the game incredible machines, where if you dangle a banana in front of a mandrill (looks like a baboon to 6 year old me) he would run on the treadmill giving you power for your machines. So I always think of a baboon when I hear pavlov.

So the decoy did its job. Good, waste their ammo.

This was a triumph!

I’m just going to leave this here

Tuesday’s for me because my optimism for the week was crushed on Monday but I have the rest of the week to go.

Totally, I’m not buying a new monitor, keyboard, speakers, webcam, or chassis. Just a new CPU and in this case RAM, as we made the switch from DDR4 to DDR5.

Imagine having to buy a new keyboard, mouse, monitor, and speakers, every time you wanted to upgrade your desktop. It’s the same thing.

Probably turn it into a dedicated mini pc for the 3D printer. It’s still decently powerful I just don’t need it anymore. I might gift it to someone as a mini pc, depends on if I see someone who needs a computer but doesn’t have one.

I have been running one for 2 years and next generation am going to do the thing they were designed to do and upgrade my laptop without throwing away the whole laptop. So for less than $1000 I will be upgrading to something that is faster than my desktop, and it’s portable.

The price tag is premium, at first, then it actually saves money.

Well i’m in the .1% for height, I guess that helps me to stand out.

When they’re good, they’re good. Good gameplay beats good graphics every day

And people wonder why I still play Factorio, Parkitect, ATS, or RCT. People suck and being able to ignore them is great.
