All the tech executives from silicon valley that are our age all restrict cellphone use by their kids. If the people creating the tech that ruined a generation don't let them use their own devices that say a lot.
Definitely, and modded Minecraft has taken a great game and made it so much better. The "Create" mod alone has made MC so much more than what Mojang intended.
And the launchers available for Linux let you use modpacks from every source including FTB, letting you forgo a launcher full of ads.
Yea and the whole Trump "He's not my kind of guy" thing screams like a lie to get Canadians to think Skippy isn't affiliated with Trump. But Skippy meeting with the family that owns the largest chain of for-profit hospitals is what scares me the most. If he wins, he'll push either an American system, or more likely a 2 tier system. Either way we get fucked.
That brought me back, I was on IRC in 1994 and someone shared the link to a website of the anarchists cookbook. And that is the first site I remember visiting... My brain says it was probably a Geocities site, but so much of the internet was that I can't recall
Picked up the audiobook, narrated by the author herself. I'm about 9 hours into the book, and nothing has really shocked me, more reaffirmed my thoughts on tech companies as a whole.
Every time I see Zuck talk in public, I can easily picture myself in his shoes: a software engineer way out of his depth. The fact that the engineers rule Facebook is exactly how I would run a tech company, obviously there has to be business people but I'd want my friends and the people like me to be the ones I'd deal with most and the ones making decisions.
I'm at the point where zuck is finding out from his senior execs the role Facebook played in Trump's win. And then him getting a taste of real power, not just billionaire CEO power, as the world leaders start sucking up to him knowing how big a role FB will play in their own countries elections.
I like the book so far, and the author really paints a picture of who she is as a person. So you easily understand how she's feeling during every part of this. She went into the business wanting to save the world, and while Facebook had the ability to be that, the senior execs clearly had a different goal in mind, alot of them came from Google and probably left because they didn't click with the "Don't be Evil" thing. I think Google had to drop that too because all these executives are just naturally evil.
Amitriptyline as well, started taking it for peripheral neuropathy. Ended up on a higher dose because it's a heavy sedative. Take it before bed, and I'm out. I was taking Zopiclone before, to help me sleep but don't need it now. Also it failed as an antidepressant but works wonders for antianxiety.
Alberta, Essentially Texas North. Heavily conservative, oil Sands, cowboy hats.
Remember kids, we're one of the reasons the Geneva Conventions exist. A surrendering soldier is a dead one.
Alberta makes all their money off oil, most pipelines dip down into the US because Native groups have a fit whenever pipelines attempt to cross certain provinces. Michigan has the same fit about those pipelines, but that's mostly because ships dropping anchor over the pipelines and the ecological disaster that would occur makes them uneasy. Everyone wants oil, but until the world turns into Minecraft and we learn to send liquids wirelessly, someone's fucked.
First 8 months on Ozempic: "Why the hell does my stomach hurt so much? Oh, I haven't eaten for 3 days."
The first couple weeks I had to set an alarm to remind me to eat. 3 years later I wish it still had the appetite suppression. I've thought about Wegovy but I've finally stopped having the Ozempic side effects, and I don't hate myself enough to go through with that again.
Well the main thing it did to me was give me crippling depression. No one over the course of my life could ever figure out why I was depressed. "It runs in the family" was the excuse. My depression disappeared after the first injection. Everyday of my life I felt like there was a force pushing down on me, and then shortly after my shot it went away and it took me awhile to realize it was gone. That was a good day.
I couldn't lose weight no matter what I did, spent thousands on personal training over the years but I could never gain muscle, or lose the weight I gained. I was a 58 waist in Feb, and I'm currently down to 44 in not even a year. Last time I went to the big and tall store they said they've seen me enough this year and we switched to elastic waist pants and a stretch belt so I don't keep having to buy clothes every 3 months.
I never had any body hair. I would have to shave once a week before. I have hair everywhere now and it's weird.
Lots of other things, zero libido. I was dating my wife and she got exasperated about my disinterest in sex, it was a chore for me. I'd be the one coming up with excuses not to have sex.
Depends, my browser has mostly taken over as my pdf viewer and I think it lacks the functionality but if I were to install a cracked copy of Acrobat Pro or PhantomPDF then that's like a 2 click operation.
