No test prepared me for black ice. Sure they tell you to be careful when temps drop but how much slower should you go? I guessed wrong and crashed. There are too many conditions that you just never get to experience where one misjudgement has dire consequences.

What fucks me up is hearing about experienced drivers crashing in similar ways, so you’re never really going to figure out everything, especially during snowy seasons, you just have to hope that whatever you do is correct and risk your life.

That is actually an advantage. Centralized platforms are able to achieve larger audiences, increasing the chance that I will be able to find content I actually care about.

90% of the reason I even have discord is because people much smarter than me use it to share information. Nobody uses other areas suited for sharing information anymore. It’s either Reddit or discord.

So that means Lemmy is more accessible to search engines, right?

I format my drives once every couple years. Makes me think real hard about what to keep.

Because everyone believes that the competition will be worse in 5 years, but Steam, on the other hand, will be better.

Gen Z most assuredly doesn’t.

False.

The worst part about this is us calling it “Apple intelligence” ironically will make idiots believe that to be correct.

Yes

Sometimes you stuck gold. Got one of those amazing Philips electric kettles 20 years ago. Works like new still. Of course they don’t make them anymore.

Yeah. Markass Brownie got his Tesla in an accident. Repairs? More than 50% of sticker price. Sure you can throw the chassis out and put on a new one, but what about a hundred little sensors that also need troubleshooting, repair and calibration? Gotta go through them one by one.

I mean… It would be true if there were no derivatives. When you start betting money on whether the line goes up or down, the stock price cases being reflective of the stock’s value.

Doesn’t the data disappear once the host decides to cease providing the service? From this perspective I don’t see how a small team or an individual could keep the data for longer compared to a large firm.

What if I say the word gasp fuck?

What about the batteries, though? How would Japan source those? All-in into aluminium-air?

I genuinely refuse to believe that it is more profitable for them to pay for AC, water and electricity that RTO would require. There has to be something else I am missing. Is it all just managers justifying their stupid decisions to other managers?

My city of 3000 people certainly appreciates us buying locally. Some other city that’s 100x the size? They’re gonna be fine. Is the real estate price really so important business would rather make us buy goods from nearby places?

In a lot of cases the sky isn’t blue.

Another fun fact: if you ask people to pick 2/3rds of a number everyone else picks when asked the same question, the correct number is drumroll 24.
