Glad that yours is holding up so long. I bought a R2 around that time and keep the chassis barely 2 years. Some designer thought it was a great idea to put a single vent GPU 1cm above the HDD, resulting in regular overheating of the GPU. I extracted all the components and moved them to a new chassis. It died 4 years ago.
Yeah I thought so too. But I’m not reading any comics or mangas, just plain old text books. But it’s great, that the technology is there.
TIL: There are couloured ink displays now. Not sure if this is really necessary for my purposes though.
I try to eat as few highly processed food as possible. Nearly all industrial meals and convenience products are packed with artificial substances to improve taste and especially optimize production cost. Most prominent water in combination with something to adjust viscosity.
Full meal replacements are the pinnacle of high processed foods IMO. You take “everything that a human needs” mix it with water and stuff it with aroma.
I got some problems with this approach:
I’m not confident that there is really everything I need in it
Extracting nutrition from food usually takes time, drinks are easy to process and probably release nutrition much fast (needs confirmation)
Eating is not only about getting nutrition, chewing also triggers effects on your body
Eating only artificial stuff destroys your taste, a lot of people are so used to highly processed stuff that they can’t even appreciate the taste of high quality food
Take a break for eating, you can socialise with your family or coworkers and give your body time to regenerate
Bought 20 pairs of identical black socks. Best investment ever.
Saw it in a sneak preview, definitely not worth the 4€ and 2h
Splice, that film didn’t make sense at all.
It’s an Usb-A gender changer. It’s not that useful but you could use it to turn an otg adapter (female usb-a to male usb-c) into a regular usb-c cable. I’d rather buy a usb-c cable though.
I support that point of view, but you also have to compare their performance to human drivers. We often have the expectation that technology have to be perfect (which it isn’t). Since you also have an IT background you know this pretty well probably. But if it’s safer than human drivers it could as well be an improvement.
Yes, I described that unprecisely. You basically have to calc the difference between a full remote day and an on site day.
Same for me. Time spend getting to work is basically also work time, which is usually not paid.
For a “fun” experiment just calculate how many hours you are on the way to work every year:
daily_travel_minutes * days_on_site / 60
Divide this by 8 to see how many holidays you get by switching to a fully/mostly remote job.
People will do everything that givesthem an advantage in anykind of way. If coal is an affordable resource to fulfill a need it will be mined and put to use.
You may change the view on a thing for a few persons, but never of all of them.
It’s not about the travel
Pretty self-explanatory if you think about the people that design those fining procedures and what there wealth and income is.
Implement a calculator in Java. Easy to set up, easy to start and easy to extend on nearly anything.
Your focusshould be on something that catches his interest. Depending on the child I’d say choose stuff that is easily to learn but has some depth too it. If you want to invest some time do some projects with him, to give easy goals to achieve and continue. Be the rabbit hole.
