Re:I’ve been single all my life on Thursday April 13, 2023 @02:14PM (#35559693)
The big one was about 10 years ago and I agree with you about letting go of the past. I'm no longer angry or bitter. I got into another serious relationship a few years ago and it didn't end well either but not as bad. I found myself not as affected by it. Both taught me a lot. Where I am now I'm happy to be single, I can do what I want. Nobody to argue with or plan my weekend for me. I'm open to another relationship in the future but I'm not really looking for one and I see things in potential relationships differently and with more skepticism.

I haven't been single all my life, but the relationships I have had have taught me things that makes it easier to be single. I remember the good times fondly, but the bad times remind me why being single isn't so bad.

I'm irrationally annoyed that the first graphic misspells "stash" twice.
I prefer working from the office, even if it’s empty. 99% of my interactions continue to be remote but I like to have somewhere that isn’t my home office to do work. I don’t like being _that_ much of a hermit.

Even doubly so, since at least for some of us they were bricked somehow recently. I had two. One is flashing the volume buttons and is unresponsive otherwise. I can't even replace it without going to ebay and paying double. https://www.reddit.com/r/HomePod/comments/g3lm0e/flashing_vo...

The first mention of Christianity is one in which it is rejected

"In Plato’s Timaeus, God does not create the universe, as does the Christian God; He simply finds it one day. It is in a state of total chaos. God sets to work to transform the chaos into order. That idea appeals to me, and I have adapted it to fit my own intellectual needs: What if our universe started out as not quite real, a sort of illusion, as the Hindu religion teaches, and God, out of love and kindness for us, is slowly transmuting it, slowly and secretly, into something real?"

"But the problem is a real one, not a mere intellectual game. Because today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups — and the electronic hardware exists by which to deliver these pseudo-worlds right into the heads of the reader, the viewer, the listener"

I wonder what he would think of today's world

My interpretation would be closer to "the jab slows the spread".

I spent the money only to find out I don't actually take notes in any form other than with a keyboard. I have used it to do some sketching though, but I don't really do that much either.

I might try setting a mounted hook on the element with something like

  this.el.addEventListener('onkeydown', function (event) {
      this.el.dispatchEvent(new Event('change', { 'bubbles': true }))
    }, true);

> The odd but customary way certain physicists understand this movement is that the electron moves because space is filled with electron-positron pairs momentarily popping into and out of existence. One such pair appears so that the positron (the electron’s oppositely charged antiparticle) is on top of the original electron, and they annihilate. This leaves behind the electron from the pair, displaced from the original electron. As there’s no way of distinguishing between the two electrons, all we perceive is a single electron moving.

I've never heard this idea before. I haven't finished the article yet but this is fascinating to me.

I had to know so I googled it. Paradise Lost, John Milton. The original quote is "Which way I fly is hell; myself am hell; And in the lowest deep a lower deep, Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide, To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven."

Have you tried it? I don't know what you mean by "sign of dementia", but I find the approach taken by tailwind makes me a lot more successful in applying designs. Doesn't feel like dementia to me.

> prevent you from downloading and installing netscape like Apple is currently doing with iOS.

I don't know about netscape, but I currently use a browser other than Safari as my default browser. Unless you mean the underlying framework is WebKit?

Surely it's closer to an estimate than purely random?
Re:Ever-increasing home values are a Ponzi scheme on Monday June 21, 2021 @07:21PM (#27585839)
Didn't everyone who didn't sell have the same amount of stock they had before the crash?

Not that it helps since you can't live in a share, or a bitcoin, but I don't know how being able to live in something makes the market around it a ponzi scheme or not.

> While much of the egg’s contents leaked out, some of the yolk remained, and the researchers preserved it for future DNA analysis.

I'm amazed there was still yolk in there! Although I'm sure it's probably decomposed I would still love to see a picture of 1k year old egg yolk!
