Cold turkey worked for me. Took me 4 attempts. I wasn’t hard on myself for failure, I noted what happened (emotional trauma, stress, alcohol) and prepared myself for the next attempt.
I wanted to quit, so when I relapsed it’s not because I wanted to smoke but because those little cancer stick bastards were trying hardest to kill me. But if they were going to be tough, I could be tougher. I found it easier when I could see the cigs as my enemy.
10 years ago I learnt that southern New Zealand slang uses bespoke or custom as an indicator of poor quality. Someone shittly welded a tow ball onto their car, that’s a ‘custom job’.
Your poorly assembled second hand IKEA bookshelf that’s falling apart and well fucked? A bespoke piece of furniture.
Those words have never bothered me since. Thanks kiwis.
The correct response to this is to ask them to move their bag and sit next to them, whilst there are other empty seats next to other people nearby.
Punish their greed.
Well your first statement is a subtle strawman. Ross said this way is the only way, because no one else is trying, not that it was the right way.
Secondly, fallacy fallacy, just because it’s a false dichotomy doesn’t mean it’s not also correct. Can anyone just start up another initiative now? Not technically, but practically. Or would any serious attempt just join this movement to add to the momentum. Then if this fails, when can another attempt be made, how long till the ‘political will’ burnt by this campaign is regenerated?
I can’t say I know what I’d do if I were in your situation. But many people throughout history have chosen to write those books, and they have suffered for that choice, but they have also driven change.
Things change slowly then all at once.
Which is to say, the older generations are very set in their ways, but the new generations can be completely different.
You say you can write a book, maybe you should. Detail all the things you see and don’t like. Give me a voice to the people who think like you.
Also a physicist, and I can confirm that we are all as dumb as rocks.
You’re right, it doesn’t at all capture how disturbing the reality is.
Ignored privacy settings; unknown third parties can train AI models on data scrapped from private images and video host on common social media platforms.
I’m not going back arch/bazzite to try this. For two reasons, 1. I can’t enable those things, my hardware doesn’t support reBAR. And 2. My issue sounds potentially different. I could load and run the game, but it would crash regularly. Realistically, if this is the issue my only solution is to roll back to an old kernel (not supported in arch), and I’m not sure if that fly’s in bazzite either. Distro hoping to Mint is then a great solution, even if I didn’t take a rational path there.
I run fedora 40 on my work laptop, and I am blow away at how capable Wayland+gnome is for plug and go multiple monitor support. You could never have done it with X, every meeting you’d want 15min to make sure you can share your screen.
Oh yeh good catch.
I can’t do resizable bar, so it would have been a kernel regression to fix (if that was the issue). I think patched in next release. Although I never got any error messaging in any logs that i could see :(
The nice thing about the deck, at least from an outsiders perspective, is that everyone’s got the more or less same hardware. If you have an issue most likely someone else has the same issue, and already has a fix that’ll work for you.
I think it you want to see the environmental benefits, is less of saving animal lives and more ensuring that 100 million animals a year never exist?
Edit: Not sure what is controversial about this. We stop eating meat to stop farming of livestock. No livestock lives are saved, just new animals aren’t born into the mincer.
Slightly more context:
" “I don’t know if we’re going to pull it off,” he wrote, “but looking at our narrative, visual and gameplay plans, I think what we’re working on now will be our best work ever.” "
Easiest way to tell is by level. If you’re level 12, then you’re ready to finish the game and won’t be far of being able to do so. That’s the best way to guess time left, spoiler free. I’ve completed a run in 30 something hours, and I’ve got one that is like 60+ hours long with ages to go.
As someone with two young children, I find playing with childless friends much faster as they can be flexible and play when i find free time than with childed friends on set weekly scheduled.
Or this field research is going beyond correlation… "Over the past few years, scientists have begun to reveal the neural mechanisms that cause the human body to unravel when social needs go unmet. "
Why use metric? Because the fact that 1440KiB is 1.41MiB is annoying.
It doesn’t make it better, it’s just really much more convenient when you’re working in a base 10 digit system. There are lots of times when the advantages of an alternative unit system outweighs that convenience.
Its a funny thing that so many people are emotionally attached to unit systems. It’s a tool, use the best one for the job.
I mean, it’s speculation. Current estimated completion is November this year, and the battery power price was already raised to 4c in 2020 estimated https://www.capdyn.com/news/capital-dynamics-and-8minute-solar-energy-partner-on-breakthrough-400mwac-eland/
This would still be cheaper than nuclear. But it’s not a true comparison. I am asking the cost to replace fossil generation. Which means some degrees of over provisioning and redundancy. The bank of America paints a very different picture in its 2023 report (https://advisoranalyst.com/2023/05/11/bofa-the-nuclear-necessity.html/) but I hardly trust them.
Either way your evidence from anecdote makes it clear you have as little understanding as I do. So I am still none the wiser if solar + generation is a solution today that makes nuclear irrelevant. If it’s not we can’t just keep burning coal till it is though. People have been saying for 30 years let’s just use renewables. But the world would look very different today if we had transition to nuclear energy back then.
Your statement disagrees with what I could turn up on duckduckgo. Can you provide your sources, I’m not a subject matter expert.
Yes, but your assertion that renewable is cheaper completely ignored the cost of grid scale energy storage suitable to remove fossil fuel generation.
This comment has got me in a spin. Isn’t GNOME the standard DE of fedora workstation?
