@Crowstopher @shagbark_hick @TCAZ1776 I know I mean compared to being back West… If you didn’t have personal reasons to be in NH, would you move back hands down, or is there anything that you found to your liking in NH that would make you consider staying anyway?

@adelbucetta @alain Fuck out of here

@NrthEastKngdm @shagbark_hick Yup I too lived on both sides of NY/VT border and my experience is the same. Vermonters are stuffier & less social but they are SO MUCH nicer it’s not even in the same universe.

Upstate NY feels what I think the Soviet Union was like. Just endless permeating misery and anger.

@Crowstopher @shagbark_hick @TCAZ1776 So there isn’t one thing at all that you find objectively better about the NE?

(I ask as someone also on the fence about going West for the last 2 years 😅)

But the real question is: can they run NetBSD?

It's honestly crazy that people pay for electric toasters.

They're not easier to use than old-school nonelectric stovetop toasters. They're more expensive. They break and must be replaced far more often.

Nonelectric toasters are more beautiful, more effective, and cheaper.

@elonmusk Yeah this dream dies the moment SpaceX goes public lol.

Can already see the MBAs bickering: “yes I know we already cut it down to rice rations and one wool blanket, but are we SURE the settlers need that? We can cut costs 45% further with smaller pods and feeding tubes” 😅😂

@hvacguy @vap0r1 @timburchett I’ve lost count of things that “should terrify everybody” when I hit the triple digits.

We could have outlawed these but we chose to stick it to you.

@leahfiles What’s not making sense?

When you go to a farm or ranch, what is the population ratio of the livestock vs the farmers?

@Rabblewthacause @lichthauch Because we don’t know better. We like to tell ourselves that we do, but we’re the most wicked, vicious species in the entire part of the universe known to us by a mile.

@antidissident @shagbark_hick It WAS but now the whole country is moving there so prices are absolutely insane. I mean it’s almost South California level.

@YarosShelter @justalexoki “Peak career growth” usually coincides with giving up on self care.

At the peak of my career I was doing 80-hour singleshot work sprints mixed with alcohol & adderall binges, smoking 2 packs a day indoors and sleeping maybe 25-30 total hours a week. Peak career rock bottom life

@MyRecklessHabit @justalexoki What does any of this have to do with smoking alone in your home?

@lauriewired 5 minute job! Just make a 4 line shell script:

- ffmpeg to pull audio
- curl to whisper or deepgram
- yeet to any LLM to translate (now you have usable VTT subtitles)
- optional step again to deepgram to get new dubbed audio & glue back video

@Rabblewthacause @lichthauch Humanity went through far more tragic experiments unfortunately. This too shall pass.

@kaseyklimes @shagbark_hick I don’t know if it’s “subtle” out of all things. Back when I lived in civilization I heard it mentioned at least twice a week that the young generation is antisocial and borderline autistic, and this was 10 years ago.

@justalexoki lol wait until you hear how i built a tiny home last year.

literally modeled it out in openscad with chatgpt & gemini, put together the home depot shopping list & walked me thru every step of the way w/ me sending pics as feedback.

I’m not even remotely handy btw.

@adam_fresko @Alexmitter @lauriewired It’s not “hard to believe”, it has a name (“planned obsolescence”) and is an industry standard. It would be hard to believe if Apple were NOT doing that (and in fact they’d get into very hot water with Wall Street).
