Post exposure shots should be covered by nearly every insurance. The preexposure ones are not.

I wish i could trust AI to do data entry.

The "make it twice as long" is genius.

Alright bub. You tried buying a car in the last 3 years?

They will. Mass extinctions worse than what we would cause have happened in the past.

"Life, uh, finds a way"

We're just not part of it

Thing is, if you need a car you cant afford to not have one. My options are buy a used car or a new car. Used cars are difficult to gauge reliability. And anything less than 5 years old is only ~5k under the price of a new car.

Mf subaru people had the gall to show me 2018 forester with 20k miles on it and be like "$29,000". For reference, a new, 2023 forester with no miles costs $31,000. Insane.

Your choices are currently: buy a reliable used car for the MSRP of a new car and less warranty, buy a very old, unreliable used car for 2x-6x what it was worth 3 years ago, or buy a new car at or above MSRP.

Shits fucked yo.

Evo biologist here. These ideas are not really new to the field of evolution, but they are well laid out (if a little dense) & somewhat codified here.

The paper is an interesting read. Dunno if i agree with all of it yet, but it's good to see the case made for thinking about evolution as a process that spans systems come up again.

Man i had the opposite experience. Bought some great ones for running and lab work but when i set them at a volume i could hear they were basically just normal headphones and everyone else could hear them too.

Im a skinny dude with no hearing issues, wish they worked better for me.

Magnetic bag clips. Boom. Done

This is the way. Time yourself by hand. Automate. Use the saved time to automate further. Meet deadlines as if you were doing it by hand. Then during the inevitable crunch time you can miraculously come through. Each quarter, cut about 10% off the time you "need" to do automated tasks, showing constant improvement.

Lastly, always guard source code closely and be aware if coding on company time means they own that code. You can bring up that you think something can be automated, but this is a job they're gonna have to pay you extra for. Show a demo if you need to, but remember that coding automations isn't your job, so don't hand that over for free (payment in social capital depends on your job).

I have a prius prime! Works perfect for my use case. Everyday driving is full battery with maybe a bit of gas. Big long trips require no extra planning or stops.

Not for everyone, and i figure will last until EVs are nice and developed with better infrastructure up where i live.

Awesome, thanks.

Do you also know how to get notifications that someone has replied to your post or comment? Ive been having to check manually...

You can still buy liscenses for office. I just bought a key off a shady vendor for $30 and have a fully activated, non subscription office 2022

Fair point. There are bigger fish to fry but this is a change people can easily make 👍

Guerilla solar will not & cannot take off. Community solar, however, yes. A "power co-op" where communities / towns / neighborhoods can pool power gen, storage, and use. Forming a small grid of their own that sips from the larger grid if needed.

Vampire devices are largely irrelevant, but always worth knowing which of your devices draws power. My 3d printer just sitting, but on, draws 10w. Off, it draws <1w or lower. My unplugged phone charger? Less than 0.1w. Is this larger than 0? Yep, is it enough to matter, no, not really. Being extremely pessimistic, we can say that all powered off devices plugged in vamp about 1w of power. At worst, my whole house would waste about 30wH. Over a day, that's 720wH. A week is 5kwH, 20kwH/month, 241kwH a year. An average home for my homes size & area uses 12,632 kwh/year.

Now, we put this a slightly more realistic scenario where most unused devices vamp between 0.4-0.1 (avg 0.2w), and 241kwH/yr -> 48kwH/year, or about 0.3% of my average household consumption.

All that said, know what your devices pull. unplug or turn off the that are "big spenders" when idle. I turn off my printer and unplug TVs that rarely get used. Power strips help for things like stereo or home theater systems.

Dont think they can, it's a real key for the software, the distributor just gets them bulk and through "grey" channels. There's a whole writup on it.

Regardless i used to full pirate the whole office suite and hadn't had an issue for 20 years, I'll just go back to that if they somehow decide this key is illegitimate

I thought they defined persistence as literally the length of time an entity exists. There are many ways to persis under their model.

For non biological systems, it's about being in a energetically favorable state for the environment. For example, while many chemicals will form and break down quickly as their environment changes, with form more stable structures that persist through the shifting environments. These structures are selected for as the basis of potentially new reactions and chemicals.

I haven't given chemistry much thought, but the idea holds pretty well for biological systems.

Ultimately, you're right this is totally a thought piece. However, it's great discussion material.

Where do i get it? It's not on the play store
