Alcohol does get a stronger effect on people who use ADHD meds. My psych told me that and I’ve experienced it as well. Its a thing. Def gotta be careful about that. And this is all solid advice.

To OP, congrats man! Hope the meds help 😁

Maybe I’m just not finding the right brand, every Bluetooth earbud I’ve tried have been pretty lackluster. Either the sound isnt good, the batteries don’t last or both. Haven’t had good experiences with them thus far.

As someone who has dug a few trenches, yea, I wish I had one of those.

For me personally, charging is the inconvenience. That and having to buy new earbuds over and over when I shouldn’t have to.

To each their own though

I too just bought a Motorola. My pixel 8 developed a line in the screen. I missed the headphone jack so much I decided I care more about that than I do the privacy of grapheneos. I did put /e/os on it though.

What Motorola did you buy? I went with a moto 5g 2024.

Just give me a fucking headphone jack. I’d buy one of these phones in a heartbeat for a headphone jack dude.

Yea I’d say robot is more dexterous, moves more. Machines are more stationary. A mechanical arm that puts car parts on a manufacturing line, thats a robot to me.

A coffee maker or an ice maker, those are machines.

IMO, trade schools are where its at rn if you want a decent education in something. Usually a two year program so lower cost, better value cause you get trained in something that AI or robots won’t replace any time soon, and you can actually make a decent wage so you won’t be buried in debt afterwards.

Other than that, I learn a ton just doing shit I like. Music production, repairs, 3d printing, all my hobbies are skills I can use in other areas of my life. Doesn’t have to be that way for you, but learning to fix some things is a valuable skill that you can learn from YouTube or the internet in general.

Libraries are a great resource as well of course. Lot of value in books that aren’t tainted with AI slop. Sometimes harder to find what you are looking for, but it helps you slow down and learn more if you read it, at least for me.

Used tech is your friend like others have said, but yea I’m also not buying anything new right now. Once the prices stabilize again, I may buy some stuff but for right now, old used stuff or getting stuff from friends for me.

So were just speed running the collapse of America on all fronts. Sick.

See y’all at the revolution.

Depends on how often its used. Ice maker, Coffee maker, and rice cooker, always on the countertop. Blender, instant pot, and air fryer, top of the fridge.

That’s all we have. The only other thing I’d add is a mixer, but we honestly don’t do enough baking or cooking to justify it rn. Counter space is precious.

Putting something away that’s used daily is inconvenient. Unless you have no space, I fail to see why you wouldn’t have it out.

This looks rad man! Not much of a horror game guy, but I think you nailed the vibes just based off this trailer.

Exactly my thought. Surely you could and achieve at least a similar result.

I would say yes, yes they are dumb. Taking out a loan for a game that isn’t even out yet according to the article to keep an ai going is pretty stupid. Even if the game does well, the overhead is massive for what could be done with a smaller specialized model. Hell, I bet payig someone to train an existing model would be significantly less than a $1000 a day when you aren’t even making money yet.

Theres only one setting I found and it only works for menu actions. Any where you have to hold E for harvesting plants, opening refiner menu, interacting with NPCs, its still there.

I’d rather make mistakes than be forced to wait every time I want to interact with something you know what I mean? Its just irritating. Thankfully I found a mod for that which makes the hold function almost instant for everything else.

My buddy talked me into no mans sky and I gotta say, its really fun.

Its got bugs for sure, and some stuff that is irritating like having to hold E for every action or the stupid notification that happens every time you warp to a system or station that requires you to hold tab to skip but there are mods that help.

I love being able to build a ship and a base on different planets, own my own space fleet, destroy pirates, be a pirate, etc. Its far from perfect but I’m into it now. Its fun as hell.

IMO in a raid config, used drives are fine, especially if you have backups.

I bought a few before the prices were crazy and they havnt been on for a while but never had issues with them. Funny enough, I had more issues with the used motherboard than I did with those drives lol.

So dinner at dream_weasel’s house yea?

That looks amazing man. Homemade sourdough alone makes my mouth water.

Preaching to the choir man. I ditched Windows and am better for it. No excuse for microslop to be this bad.

I think a lot of the issues people experience on windows can be mitigated by disabling certain things or as you said “neutering” it. Back when I used windows 10 as my main OS, I did a lot of modification to make it better and it was alright, but windows 11 has also experienced a lot more bugs and criticism just being generally worse. Worse resource management, less user freedom, more tracking, more ai, newer CPU requirements, and that’s all just off the top of my head.

This is a countertop ice maker so would likely be different if yours is in your fridge.
