  • It’s important that he disabuses himself of the notion that he’s really good at this if he tried. The trying is the part that’s the challenge. They make the ability to understand part relatively easy. That’s the whole point of college.

    The tip is to change his perspective and stop thinking that he’s above it. It may not be the only tip, but it’s a big one.

    The world is filled with people who used to be brilliant slackers when they were young who did nothing with it.


  • Anyone can theoretically sit down and study for the equivalent of a university degree. Most people don’t have the motivation or discipline for that.

    Half the point of the degree is that it pushes you to get it done. (The other half is verification that you did it.)

    If you still can’t do it, then it isn’t so easy after all, is it? The main challenge isn’t how big your brain is. It’s actually putting in the work.

    If you can’t find enough self-discipline to get through it, you’re going to regret it later.





  • Vance over performed slightly. I’d say Walz underperformed slightly. Walz was too nice.

    In the end, I think Walz wins by a fair margin. Plus Walz got the biggest two soundbites that will be played for the next week ad nauseum.

    Vance had absolute shit to work with. Walz could have given the Independence Day speech.

    I actually appreciate the part where Walz went off script and responded directly to Vance and the question asked. It was about Congress making the laws, and not the Vice President. They’ll likely use that to attack Walz and Harris, but I appreciated him dropping a bit of the show and just conveying reality.

    The changes they were talking about require a vote from Congress. Vance dismissing that and saying it can be done through executive action should be concerning. Technically, it might be true, considering the President can just start shooting/jailing congresspeople until they vote his way. But I don’t think that’s what they wanted to express.










  • I have a lot of experience with both. As a tech savvy user, I slightly prefer KeePass. Syncing between devices is slightly more painful, but I find it to be more reliable, and it doesn’t have the attack surface that Bitwarden does. (While encrypted, Bitwarden still really wants a web server and a local database connection.)

    VaultWarden is probably better for those who can’t be bothered to move a file around and want direct browser integration. With KeePass when you need a password, you’ll make sure the username has focus and then alt+tab to KeePass and hit “autofill”. Some sites won’t take “username{tab}password{enter}” and you’ll have to customize the configuration.

    VaultWarden is better at prompting you to add new passwords. I prefer the workflow that’s encouraged by KeePass, where you open the app first and use the app to open the URL. (You can do this in VaultWarden too, but it’s less obvious.)
