Vast amounts of time on bandcamp?

being able to walk to your friends house?

I tested my US middle school student who, when forced to pick a country on this wikipedia blank world map, https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/A_large_blank_world_map_with_oceans_marked_in_blue.PNG picked Ireland.

I did get it right, though uh thank you to reporting from ukraine for your news tied to map animations.

The “Justice” department has a search tool, though they might hide files again… https://www.justice.gov/epstein/search

I also saw some of the datasets on the torrent trackers and they’re tens of gigabytes.

Eeew…

I had a coworker who’s laptop started emitting smoke in a meeting. thankfully this was in the days when you could still remove batteries. That was a nice safety feature.

Yikes!

What brand was that garbage?

I’m curious why Chrome OS had such a big drop?

I have also inflated my car tires a few psi with a stand bike pump too. Bike tires are often have much higher PSI, than car tires, so the pump can easily fill the tire it just takes a while… (Though to be fair I was mostly fixing a low pressure issue, so I was inflating the car tire from like 37 psi to 42 psi)

try “flatpak remove --unused”

The transcription of D is wrong. It should be:

sed 's/\([a-zA-Z]\+\)/\n&\n/g; s/\n\(.\)\(.*\)\(.\)\n/\3\2\1/g; s/\n//g' file.txt

also D is correct, assuming file.txt contains a list of words one per line

Honestly it should never be anyone. Cops should get to benefit from throwing people in jail, that is a giant tempting pile of corruption.

I think the southern cops or legislatures might have convicts doing janitorial work in their offices

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear some chief of police might use convict labor at their house.

Welcome to the software commune comrade!

Pretty sure that’s been going on for years.

So did Bannon get what he wanted?

Musk is not in the White House. He’s rooting the Treasury.

For someone doing solitaire and mahjong, maybe try iagno (reversi), tetravex (tile layout puzzle), or minesweeper.

Being around too many antagonistic people is stressful.

“The impact of election stress: Is political anxiety harming your health?: Psychological science shows that politics can harm our physical and mental health, but the positive aspects of political engagement can lead to greater well-being”

“In polarized communities, they found that bonding ties, or bonds between people who are similar (in this case, politically similar), were linked with better physical and mental health (International Political Science Review, Vol. 75, No. 3, 2022). Bridging ties—connections with dissimilar people—were associated with worse overall health for people who were politically isolated.”

There’s a big difference between analyzing your enemy and letting them shout at you constantly. I can research conservative evangelicals attitudes without having to let one set up a loudspeaker next to my house.

The conservative troll types are also the ones most likely to try and argue about echo chambers because their style of rage farming doesn’t work if everyone avoids them.

The consequence of that is if you do read it you effectively have superpowers over the non-readers.

My guess is the music goes into the past, leaving echos in your memories.

I think it’s more fair to compare average income versus average life satisfaction. (using a scale of 1 to 10) (On this scale Finland is the happiest, and Afghanistan is the least happy)

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/gdp-vs-happiness

Average satisfaction for Costa Rica (6.61) or Mexico (6.33) isn’t that much lower than the United States (6.89) at roughly 1/4th the GDP.

South Korea (5.95) doubles Mexico’s GDP ($45.5k vs $20.25k) but has a lower life satisfaction.

Or Hong Kong (5.31, $58k) is close the US ($64k) in GDP but less happy than Russia (5.66, $27.4k).

Costa Rica is at the 1.5t per capita probably safe emissions and has a life satisfaction of 6.61 compared to the US’s 6.89.

Our world in data also has life satisfaction versus CO2 emissions and central america looks to be doing fairly well for themselves. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/life-satisfaction-vs-co-emissions-per-capita
