Money is not. Some people are so poor, all they have is money. I came to the conclusion that we all are working drones, making the queens richer and were sent to other tribes to grab more riches. Be it war, competition, social ladder etc. Most if not the majority of people are totally uninteresting because they dont enrich your life and not theirs. Only a few stars exist in the youtube universe, as example. But millions of people chasing the same dream to become some important dude that people would remember in centuries. The opposite is the case. Today, everyone is sooo special, so interesting...its boring, to be frank. You can be happy if you make an income that will pay your meds, the future wheelchair and a comfy home.

As if people would not talk to each other or post such instructions elsewhere.... What a clumsy attempt to censor that. As if we now would love Microsoft for their shit and crap they produce since centuries. I only got a gaming machine running it here, all my private data will stay on another linux machine

>Once hooked on heroin you need more heroin

No, you need your daily dosage you are used to. I was an addict for a short time and then went to rehab and never did it since 10 years. And yes, like you said, the demand is there. Every day and must be satisfied. Over here in europe, we have substitution clinics and doctors where you are given polamidon or subutex(dont know whats its called somewhere else) to get you from the streets and injecting doubtable mixtures and catch hepatitis and aids. But not all people qualify for that, so they still have to go to the streets. As an addict myself, i can say, it was dire living conditions, unemployment, the wrong friends and some more factors. Sure it was fun the first times, i used to consume alcohol, which is especially totally legal in bavaria(Oktoberfest) i use to live. Then, the streets are washed with drugs, people making a huge amount of money from it and replacing a decent job and income with drug dealing. But, there is help. I undergone rehab, now living a good life, can afford an exlusive hobby and got married. People that will use drugs are born every second on this earth ball. Times are changing, not every time for the better. We have crisis, wars and other shit while an elite group of people getting richer the same second every day and celebrating their success with cocaine that makes you think you were given the nobel prize at the same time you won the lottery. Especially coke is the drug of the wealthy and successful people, thats why the demand is high and everyone wants his bit of the cake....

I just watched the tragic hazard of a maritime vessel where the wreck was coated with gravel to hinder any further investigation. The captain of that ship was rescued, but disappeared and was never seen again. Also a passenger that survived, was declared dead by media despite having called its relatives the next day....

Switch the fucking thing off. You are not that important. Things can wait. The world turned many revolutions without such a thing. You dont profit, your boss and companies do, you pay with your health, money and more. Your kids dont get smarter, you spawn even dumber kids in the future.

Get your relatives and family out of this shithole and start a new life somewhere else. Why paying taxes for fat crooks? Why working your ass off for major companiel that dont pay taxes? I more and more understand people leaving their home country.

If you are creating, producing or whatever as a one-man-show, forget it. The time you need for bookkeeping or fighting with non-paying customers, you cant be productive. A tax advisor is needed if you are VAT-taxable. Forget the ads showing people doing their taxes on their mobile phones. That is not possible.

But its used to create the illusion that linux can be used by typing handymen.

What are the 5 safety guidelines?

I was pushing this into the marketing perspective. You are told what to buy...

I do that work almost every day. What if the untalented handyman crunches a live cable and the metallic frame is on fire? You can repair how and what you want, its your house and children.

Ever heard of the old displays with an inverter that produced around 700V? Can zap grandpa into the coffin... THats why they did not sell it to customers.

The display unit is nothing an enduser should replace. Does every user know how to handle the delicate display and how to carefully install the LVDS cable? In most modern cars you cant replace the windscreen with cameras, heating wires in your backyard without the calibration software. You can try it, but you will fail.

There are parts in the industry that are not meant for end users. I service copiers and printers. The fixing unit is not meant to be installed by a handyman, thats why you dont get to buy it. You can cook yourself, it works with 230V.... Toner and drum unit are sold to customers.

I am fed up with the linux world. I run Ubuntu on a randomly selected Thinkpad, everything works, outta the box. Why should i buy a new laptop because it holds another cpu doing the exact workload? I cant code faster, cant talk faster with people and being productive 8hrs strait is just a lie. Since almost 10years i read about pre-installed devices, but i dont see them anywhere. Most companies dont have business linux apps and they wont be available, an armada of developers is busy bringing the light of the webcam functioning. Why not specialize in something else like software the entire world runs on like SAP or whatever? Its nice to spend a rainy day to compile your kernel...but the outcome?

We experience the same here, over the great pond in germany. Summer holidays start soon and some children are already en route to the holiday destination, missing school. Its unlawful and fined, parents risk it every vacation season. Parents want to hop on the cheaper flight or want to have extra days. Usually, if kids do not attend school for at least a minimum, they will be held back and have to start over in their grade again. This is no warning to the parents that will have much more fun with them... If i dont show up to work unexcused, i wont get paid. If i am getting caught attending to a party while called in sick, its a felony, insurance fraud. This is to teach young people, you are responsible for your actions.

That was so crystal clear ...

Been there, done that. Hated it. Being 24 hrs in your own home is imprisonment with money. You dont meet people while commuting, you dont see whats happening in your own town and after work, you still sit on your desk browsing mindless websites, stuffing junkfood into your mouth because you havent shopped and cooked yourself a meal. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, nothing more than an embaressment for the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself.

The mobile phone holds way more functions. Back then, you have listend to your favorite album. No distraction, no incoming messages, nobody called. Today, you get distracted while listening to one single song, mom calls, other waiting you fill their lonely life and so on. Together with social media that thing will make the dumb dumber.

You are the best example of a self-centered homo sapiens. Why not spending time with people you dont even know? I met a lot of people and listend to very usable things for my life.

Nice tool. And all people having the same look, the surrounding looking so tiresome noble and reality distorted... I better recommend to see a taylor. Those people simply look at you, some time later you got a perfect fit shirt. Plus, not all people looking like models, it would be refreshing to see other people in advertisments.

He can team up with a hw-manufacturer and together they develop the machine that was needed for so long. Why not? I once worked for Tuxedo, the beginning of that company was the question if they sell hardware to the books as well?

I would not give much shit about maxell being the producer or designer of that stuff. Its a licends product, nothing more. I doubt its quality.

Apply to a phone company. The stolen phone logs into the next base transceiver station and the provider can look up when and where that was. You as a consumer dont get access to such data.

Then just read a book or magazine. Or just take that boring time, its life that is not always funny, entertaining and colorful. Most people have the problem of being under pressure to spend even their free time productive. But for whom? Boredom is healthy, spinning down your engine from constantly reving up at the street lights in life. When i commute to work, i got an old Walkman, ancient cassette player with me, listening to an entire album of music where i cant hear the phone ringing, no notification popping up and letting me get distracted from listening to people that spent years of work to create an album of fantastic music.

I switch of my phone every evening after 20:00 hrs. Nobody has to disturb me except my moms house is on fire. My landline number is known around relatives etc. I never answered or reacted that late on the same day. Its my fucking free time, nothing can be so important i have to give up that personal time. Unluckily i have to use my own personal phone for my job. I receive emails and texts when my teamleader is working late. Thats annoying. A couple of years ago my company handed me a work cell phone, but those days are long gone. When i commute to work, early in the morning, i look outside the window of the tram, look at the sun rising or whats going on on the streets. The entire wagon is just staring on senseless Whatsapps, texts or videos. I dont get why the people dont wanna be bothered that early in the morning and making them ready for work or just enjoy a beautiful sunrise. You cant make friends with them anymore, they dont look around, dont start chatting with the person next to them. Zombies they are. If all those people would hold a bottle of beer and sip on it frequently, we would call them alcoholics and addicts. And those people are addicts, needing treatment. Urgently. But the common reception of phone users is that they are in touch with someone and the social tradegy is hidden behind the manner of use of such devices. One does not see if the user is watching stupid videos or is caught in a bubble. But holding a bottle of beer will bring the people to contempting the blue collar worker after a long working day, talking to real people, earning his wage and returning to his real existing family that evening. What i ask myself the entire time is, how are kids raised by parents working for or owning cellphone providers and manufacturers? What do such people tell their kids how or not to use social media? Do they raise them ascetic when it comes to gadgets? Tell them: Daddy is going to work, selling stuff for stupid people?

French love wine, so they drink it even during the day and that making them pee. But removing public restrooms was a huge mistake. I am glad finding one in my country, if not, i ask a business or cafe to use theirs. Some deny it completely, others charge you with 50 ct. i gladly pay. Sometimes the problem with public restrooms is the vandalism. You cant give some people something new,clean. They ruin it in no time. Its a pity, but thats the problem of their parents raising them.

As a patient with depression and alcohol dependence, i dont want an artificial treatment. Its important to leave the house, sit in front of a real human and do some chatting as my former therapist once did. A human therapist will smell the relapse from yesterday and can interpret your facial expression. Many people go into social retraction, dont leave the house, order food instead of go shopping, receive sunlight etc. Its important to take part in the normal social life as much as one can.

Why care so much? Those people did it for a reason. They received the same help as you and now they pass the help around. There is a saying in my language that you always meet the same guy twice in your life. And everything you do, will return to you. Be glad you have met so kind people and be nice to the future student or helpseeker you will met. It could be that guys son or daughter. Balance restored i would say.

When beeing unemployed for some months, i got up every morning as if i had to go to work. I cleande my apartment, did some paperwork and joined a social welfare project where poeple can maintain a structure. That was working in a cafe or doing garden work. I received free coffee for that and met some people i sometimes meet. The worst thing is to stay in a bubble of netflix series, social networks and rotting away. I have suffered depression but i forced myself out of it by that.
