Not my cup of tea, but kudos on making something unique. The world need more of that.

For me, the era of MikroTik is sort of... now.

Don't get me wrong, they make powerful and feature-complete stuff, but their UI sort of assumes you really know what you're doing. I don't know what I'm doing.

But my LLM does. I've been able to set up site-to-site VPNs with Mikrotik in fifteen minutes now, rather than the day-long exercise of googling and praying.

RFK walked the talk. The previous inhabitant was... and I'll try to be polite... easy to dismiss when they said it.

Yes... and no. DJI/BYD, etc are legit amazing. But entire ghost cities filled with unused condos scream bubble.

When my Korean friends tell me that my cuisine isn't spicy enough: Well... let's talk about that spice.

For me, my blind spot has been China. They've maintained their bubble economy for decades longer than I (and a few other smarter people than me) think possible.

Fair point, and thanks. Certainly true that Starlink satellites are already successfully dealing with the problem and use a lot of energy.

I think the trouble with my thinking was that I was locked into the Shuttle/STS numbers of waste heat transfer.

Any idea how they're handling the space data center heat problems? Energy harvesting in space is easy, while getting rid of heat is quite hard.

There's a relationship in that a persuasive kid pointing out the obvious flaws could collapse a Keynesian beauty contest.

Yep. Keesian Beauty Contest!

(Dear Reader, if you have no idea what that is, it's a good idea to know about in my opinion)

No I dont, and you're quite correct. I'm one of those weirdos who thinks The Lord of the Rings movies were better because they left out some things from the books, so I'm happy with both.

Oddly enough, I sort of appreicated the David Lynch movie more after the recent movies because not what I'm older, I sort of undersgand how hard it would be to make a movie anyways.

Yes it is.. I'm glad that it seems that he's cherry-picking the good bids from a few books to give us a potentially good movie.

In the book, Paul's nine-year-old son fuses baby sandworm larvae to his skin and becomes a worm-god-human-face weirdo.

I mean, I've seen Apocalypse Now, but I suspect the movie of that would be... unique.

Que? Market analysis thinks SpaceX sucks as a stock.

Heck, it goes against all my value investing instincts for me to even have 2% of my net value in it. To be fair however, 15% of my net value came from Tesla. I obviously have brain worms.

Some of us appreciate the "Eat fucking food, and do some exercise" part of it. The rest of it is a big meh. Not like I was looking to Rachel Levine as a paradigm either.

David Lynch's "Elephant Man" was considered a good kids' movie for my 5th-grade class.

Put it this way: My dad used to beat me, and that was less traumatic than that movie.

I say this as a fan of Frank Herbert, and I've read all the Dune books:

Thank god the Dune 3 movie looks like it isn't a strict adaptation of "Children of Dune".

We've set up separate channels in our messaging app: One for random stuff and one for emergencies, and we only leave notifications on for the latter.

The elites don't want us directly voting for stuff. Got it.

While I would like to see us return to having federal senators elected by the state legislatures, I'm not going to give up citizen initiatives without a fight.

FYI - there are already a few states that don't allow companies to enforce such draconian noncompetes.

Moving to California is better than killing yourself most of the time.

The Netherlands are filled with Netherlanders. The US... not so much.

Agreed. It's basically RF guided by wires, or light guided by glass/plastic.

And... I hate to say it, but I've been interacting with computers connected to WiFi about 90% of the time over the last week. Rarely used a physical Ethernet link.

> Rates that are based on the car, not the driver.

I like my low very rates. I don't want to pay higher rates for people who can't parallel park. They can suffer their skill issues.

State Farm is slightly more expensive than others.

From a policy standpoint, this works out really well for them as the bottom feeders aren't their customers, so they have fewer claims.

Wise economically.

For things you can cover, external insurance will be more expensive than self-insurance because you aren't paying for random CEOs. (Unless you've captured some and are tending to them)

I absolutely hate tours and being penned in. However, if I see expats or locals in a tour group, it tells me there's some value there I'm missing. Served me well in India and parts of South America, for example.

You're not allowed to notice things.

Pretty normal. My Chinese name is Chinese. Much less friction to pick a 21st-century English name in the anglosphere.

All?

Let's see what the Canadian Medical Association survey says.

The moon landings were faked, and Stanley Kubrick directed them. Annoyingly, he insisted on filming on location.
