Can you explain why and how? Do you imagine other (better?) batteries, or the disappearance of the need for batteries?

There’s never been a time where the world was conflict free, and people merrily skidoodled around.

Happyness is as much internal, as it is influenced by your environment. It takes both. And the relationship is bi-directional.

Blaming the latter for the first, is a dead end.

Birds of a feather flock together

When you’re in the top 5% it doesn’t really matter where you rank

Of course. My work and my friends are quite international is all. With my family I speak my native tongue.

I spend more time speaking English than my native language.

That’s a fine idea. I was going to make a floorplan, might as well do a simplified 3d model.

Did you also use it to test out colors? Or is sketchup not a great tool for that?

Hehe Waka, I know what you’re talking about. I recognise it now, even if it took a few decades. It’s why I’m moving :)

The thing is, it did leave me with this, making it difficult to turn a set of objects into a living space. So I also appreciate the more practical tips :D

Danke shön for your kindness.

How do I open the console to type motherlode ?

2nd person recommending that channel. I know what to watch tonight.

Didn’t expect a stardew valley recommendation, but will give it a try too. Can’t hurt!

Thanks, wise Owl!

Impressive :D Could just do that for the joke 🤔😄

Don’t assume you know what I like or don’t like!!

Jk ;) I think I can already decently do function and comfort, it’s theming and aesthetics that’s difficult to me. As I’m one of these people.

Wow there are a lot of gems in there. Would it make sense to pick a painting there and use it’s (dominant) colors for the walls and furniture? That way there’d be some consistency.

Is that something people do?

Thanks for the compliment. But sadly, this picture isn’t mine, I’m not at that level. I used it as a conversation starter, to get the idea across.

Sounds like the easiest way indeed. Thinking of measuring the place, creating a floorplan, and handing it over to someone who knows.

Danke

Sometimes you’ll see a piece that just says “hey, I want that”

That’s the difficult part :) I’ve never experienced that, despite having visited those stores.

A chair is a chair is a chair, to me.

In uni we always had a verbal defense for our papers. That had 2 benefits: (1) verify that the student actually wrote the paper (plagiarism and ghost writers were a thing before LLMs too), and (2) the prof could test the boundaries of the student’s understanding with additional questioning.

The obvious caveat being the amount of time it takes for the teacher to have a 1-on-1 with each student.

Video games are an exception though, right?

I don’t use those, no

The benefit of OSS, to me, is that it’s not a black box. You see where your data goes, you get it to interact with the rest of your setup the way you want it (automation, backups, notifications, etc).

Closed source software, pirated or not, puts unnecessary limits on what I can do with my devices and my data.
