"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent." — Qui-Gon Jinn, The Phantom Menace.

Yes, so much this. This seems to be the same type of hype as blockchain was a couple years ago when everyone said that will solve all our problems.

It took discipline for me to get into a workout routine, 4 days a week. Now if I don't do it I get stressed out.

But if I had not pushed through the first two months of exercising those 4 days a week with discipline, I would have high blood pressure, probably be pre-diabetic. Now I have a great BP, blood work is fantastic and I have more energy during the day than ever before.

I had to use discipline and motivation to change what made me happy. Things that are generally good for you are not easy to do. Id rather binge netflix, play video games all night and eat ice cream in my younger days because that me me happy. I was actually just killing myself quicker.

The logic of do what makes you feel good or happy is so flawed. Doing heroine or shooting morphine feels amazing, but that does not make it ok.

Ultimate we are like the rat who will walk across a shock pad time and time again to receive an instant organized versus turning toward the female rat in heat.

Backblaze.

Art is not harder than coding. What is hard is for an artist to make a living because the market for artwork is very, very low.

My Dad was a morse intercept operator for the US Army, mid 60s, stationed in Northern Japan. He has stories of them naming all the Soviet morse operators by the way the tapped.

Many streaming services have ads in their lowest tier now. Paramount is the first I can think of.

All ATC should be brusque and quick, especially in high traffic environments.

The US Army's ATC units had the motto of "Safe, Orderly, & Expeditious."

Honestly, the tech stack for a blog does not matter. Or should I say, the only way it matters if it allows you to publish content easily, which is pretty much any CMS.

Starlink satellites are in LEO, not geostationary.

Or be dick parents to your children so that you have no relationship with them later on.

Car batteries are good for 4-5 years.

Pretty interesting article, especially for a 15 year old.

I ran across his site while perusing /r/selfhosted and saw his custom dashboard he made. https://github.com/DavidIlie/personal-dashboard

The US military did not leave any helicopters when it pulled out.

The Afghan Army and US State department left helicopters.

Are not the moons of Mars about the same diameter as Houston, Texas?

PM had no idea who the users were or what criminal charges they were facing. They had to comply with the Swiss law and provide the IP address.

They are better soldiers because of preparation, aka training.

But it still takes someone with certain mental capabilities to do it well, aka the super soldier.

Big difference between Berlin and Nicosia/Lefkoşa. I lived for 2 years (2010-2012) in the North as a westerner and while the division certainly affects the Island, it is nothing like Berlin in the Cold War.

Healing and forgiveness, on both sides, must occur before reunification.

Bezos was never a scientist, engineer or dreamer. He is an entrepreneur, business savvy guy. Its about the dollar for him (which I'm not saying is a bad thing), versus for Elon it is a dream/passion to get to Mars.

Icebreakers are included in this as well. Wow.

As the tech gets better there could absolutely be a case for tactical assaults using this kind of tech.

But as a teen the shower scene was still great.

I used to do the same, but once I learned that the owner/could makes over $2 million a year, I drop my junk their too. He can afford to trash it for me.

Is the protest process automatic? Meaning if another bidder just comes forward and says they protest, does the GAO have to move forward in the investigation?

This just seems slightly ridiculous as neither of the other two have put a rocket up yet, right?

Amazon warehouse workers have full health insurance.

Those manufacturing jobs that used to be in the town were non union as well.

Elon Musk probably has a team working on it.
