Added a few of these to my gotta get to reading list!

Surprised to see you read Simon Sinek.

Have you ever read “Games: Agency as Art”? Because this reads as if it’s a paragraph straight out of that book.

Does the recently leaked conversation between RFK jr and Trump change your view at all?

climbing sznnnnnnn. i might have heard somebody get very injured the other day. definitely heard the impact of a body hitting the ground in a way it’s not supposed to…and saw a bunch of medics and SAR in the area on our hike out…

thinking about throwing together a post with some recent climbing photos, maybe even some photos from stuff from last year too.

“ The show was cool though. Perfect night for it, and there were exactly 201 drones operating the show. This number was chosen, apparently, because the previous NZ record for such a show was 200 drones. So uhh, suck it, those guys.”

that’s actually pretty funny. is this positive masculinity in action???

never been to a drone show!

awesome!! this the trip you messaged me about a couple months back?!

she helps run a TV show for the community

wait what. this retirement community has it's own tv programming??

been to victorville once, and only once, and got blackout drunk and lost my rental car for a night/day. what a shithole. sorry you're going through that.

congrats on the house though, sounds amazing. good seeing you back on here, hope you've been having a good 2024.

Weird that these articles never seem to mention the corporate and individual culpability of research and development and food science as it relates to the obesity epidemic. This is, intentionally and not, largely the consequence of large food/bev corporations.

Vegas Sphere?

please share!

hey, man, cassettes are and always will be a great medium for listening to music.

are they a great format for recording and audio quality? loooooool.

very fun otherwise! love the “click” you get at the start and end of a side of a tape! sad im just seeing this post now!

Yeah, what’s stopping people from using AI generated synthetic data?

Yeah this article is pretty amazing. Fun what happens when you fuck over all your students :) :) :)

For the first half of the article I was wondering where the grift would be and...lo and behold.

The paper was published on 14 October 2020 to fanfare. Dias and a co-author, Ashkan Salamat, a physicist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), also announced their new venture: Unearthly Materials, a Rochester-based company established to develop superconductors that operate at ambient temperatures and pressures.

ya know

one of the more concerning parts of reddit or maybe the internet at large(?)? seems to me that most internet-ees are utterly incapable of understanding that other people have different lived experiences than they do.

Where do you think this lands? Think we let commercial real estate eat shit and sink a bunch of regional banks in the process, or another massive bailout incoming?

I'm thinking ultimately RTO ends up at 65% capacity filled in these buildings which is still...

Thanks, boss! Way to take initiative on that. Hope it gets your somewhere.

Thanks!! Especially the Barbara Tuchman rec, I think I’ll start with that one. Been reading a bunch of wiki pages about Vietnam, Laos, both civil wars, the Hmong, etc. and want to keep learning!

Have you been to the Wing Luke?

anyone have recs for books (histories, memoirs, general nonfiction) about vietnam and possibly laos?

Oh cool! Whatcha doing in python?

My only hope is that the SCOTUS nerfs Trump due to insurrection.

In your scenario, what makes you think that Trump gives any credence to any sort of SCOTUS nerfing?

i wonder if there’s any connection between this and the weird dog respiratory illness that’s been going around for a couple-few months.

lol, ive been hearing about this since at least 2015ish as way to “beat” Taleo and other application/recruiting platforms. of course, with it being 2024, “AI” must be added in some way.

pretty tired of being sick and seeing people around me get sick, but that seems to be the cycle since...september? getting a little worried that the rest of life is going to be a period of 3-4 months of health for me and those around me with 1-2 week illnesses breaking those periods up.

pretty sure i'm going to get a coach for a few months for outdoors/athletics performance. happy to spend some money to, at the least, better create my own training plans in the future.

I think you’re making the right choice by going with 40-45L for week ending! Osprey and Gregory make great packs. Don’t know if you’re in a place where you can try them on - would go with whatever fits best, and those companies do make different fitting packs compared to each other.

What happened with that ~$1 trillion that was in forbearance during the pandemic? Doesn't seem like it tanked the economy...

As to Smucker's, I guarantee their factory floor is a lot browner. Now here's the question: does this cause a bifurcation between the Morlocks and Eloi where the ruling class beams down from the mothership every four weeks to command the galley slaves? Or do the galley slaves start moving up and displacing the whip-holders because they're simply there more often? I think that's a thoroughly unresolved question with massive implications for the future of work in the United States.

If this is anything like most large corporations I've worked for, or otherwise am aware of via former friends, colleagues, etc. it's still very much the former in this, and in some cases where I've seen the latter, for those people, they end up back on the factory floor/in the factory/etc. due to the politics and unwelcoming nature of breaking into the mothership.

- dealing with a rogue DJ who decided to spew 6000 words of lies all over facebook and every blogspot he owns that call me out personally

how is this something you're still dealing with. jeez, man, wish that would just end for you.

I’m still surprised it worked out as well as it did. I even got the video exactly the way I hoped. Not that that matters too much, but it’s the cherry on the cake that I got both the composition right as well as the technical settings that I wanted (6.2K, 30fps, shutter at 1/60 with my variable ND filter and the Eterna Fuji film setting). It helps that my new Fuji camera has been a joy to (learn to) shoot with.

I love that you spent as many lines of text on this as the proposal itself. Congrats!!!
