Yeah it absolutely baffles me as well. I tend to just cook for 4 days or something in one go. If I’m lazy I can even get pre-cut veggies, a pot is pasta sauce, some meaty and some pasta. It’s not that much effort and you could make enough to eat for days.

I was raised with the mentality that takeout or going to a restaurant was a luxury, which makes sense since it’s fucking expensive. And personally I feel like takeout is almost more of a hassle. You have to order on some site that is more advertisement than useful (or worse, call someone). Then you either have to wait till they bring it or get it somewhere, in which time you cannot really do much useful anyway, and on top of that its fucking expensive and often unhealthy.

Wasps aren’t bees. And most wasps don’t suck, just yellow jackets and maybe a few other species that I’m not familiar with. European Hornets are quite chill too, as long as they don’t get stuck in my house and get mad. And I presume they’re all useful, even yellow jackets, but unlike the rest of them, the yellow jackets don’t seem to understand when to fuck off.

I have a huge pine tree next to my apartment, it towers above the apartment building. In the past month (maybe more), the thing is basically buzzing all the time. It’s a bumblebee invasion, hundreds of them. But we also get many European Hornets and the occasional wasp. It’s quite impressive to see, in a time where all these specifies are under huge pressure, this massive tree seems to almost single-handedly feed multiple colonies of different species. Makes me realize how important even a single tree can be. Also for my entertainment, because I love to be on the balcony and stare at the activity in the tree a few meters away. Interestingly enough I also have only had one bumblebee enter the house accidentally, and nothing else, despite having doors and windows open almost continuously the last weeks

This design is getting slandered, damn. Personally I think it looks absolutely sick, but for a brand like Ferrari I’m not sure it’s a good move. It has that electric car look, which makes it seem less exclusive. I’d totally want one if I needed a car and it was actually affordable, but given the price it probably should’ve looked more exclusive.

The exercise is not (primarily) for weight loss. It’s so your body doesn’t feel like a useless sack of potatoes the whole day. So you’re not out of breath when picking something up from the ground. The weight loss is unfortunately primarily achieved in the kitchen.

At least, that’s my experience. But maybe if you used to not move at all it makes a big difference. I lost weight when I changed my diet for the better, and I gain weight whenever I slip up significantly. But when I stopped running 15km per week (for health reasons) I didn’t really gain a significant amount, maybe a kg (accounting for noise). I did become a useless sack if potatoes though, so I’m back in the grind.

For the same reason I use PS3 and PS4 controllers to play PC games. I don’t even own a PS4. A controller should preferably be usable as a generic gamepad. Not that the PlayStation controllers necessarily are, on windows I always needed shady programs for that, but I’d expect better from Steam

This, but with an extra step where I start preparing 5 minutes too late, can’t find shit, and then end up having to hurry so I arrive sweaty ans barely on time or too late

Kinda makes sense tho. Either they earn money on you from ads or they make money from you because of subscription. Or you’re like me and you still block the ads even though YouTube does everything it can to stop you.

I wouldn’t really mind watching some ads before a video, but I don’t wanna get constantly interrupted or have the ads track me everywhere. I tend to watch the in-video ads from creators tho, because most people I follow have relevant ads, funny ads, or ar the very least deserve some revenue.

For real. I type like a boomer, but I never had any problems at uni or work (as a developer). It’s not about how fast you’re typing but what you’re typing. And any good developer generally spends more time thinking or testing than typing.

Bur bad managers can’t accept this, they need dumb metrics like typing speed, added lines of code, useless certificates, etc

Honestly just looks like normal lens flare where the sun is blocked by a tree branch. The flare is lens-dependent, but it’s also dependent on conditions. I doubt one could reliably fingerprint someone based on lens flare unless OP is like one of a few people using this lens

Because an average user would do that. Hell, I use Linux full-time and I didn’t know that PopOS in a huge transition. A user wants a gaming-focused distro an picks one. It should just work if we want all those Windows users to transition. He can’t do it right either, there will always be someone complaining about his choice. People here seem to think they’re an average user, when they’re really way above average in terms of technical knowledge. Even if Linus should maybe know better, it’s better that he does some dumb stuff because that’s what many people would do.

Seriously? I have recently been working on my personal programming projects on my ThinkPad from 2014. That thing also has 8 GB RAM. It’s slow, but that’s only because the dedicated video card is no longer supported by NVIDIA. I was totally able to run PyCharm, my program (which was hungry for ram), and Firefox with quite some tabs open without any issues. And most people will be doing more basic stuff on this than what I was doing. Browsing around, editing some documents, viewing some photos. I’m not sure how heavy MacOS is, but I’ll assume it’s more like Linux than Windows. You can do a lot with 8GB if your OS isn’t gobbling up resources to spy on you, show you ads, or run some useless AI shit you didn’t ask for.

I agree that it’s not a lot, but this laptop is not meant for people who need to do more than what I mentioned, putting much more RAM in there would just creep up the price without really offering anything.

Note that I’m not an Apple fan or anything, I’ve never even used anything from Apple.

Uhhh yeah. My PC is booted in less than half a minute, why would I let it waste energy the whole night just to boot slightly faster? Even when I booted off of an HDD I still did so.

I became a “morning person”. Or let me rephrase that, I honestly stopped believing in the idea of morning or evening people. Whatever schedule you hold you body to, it tends to be okay with it as long as you’re consistent. And bonus points if it generally aligns with normal daytime. I still tend to drift a bit later during long holidays, but I can live with earlier mornings and tend to have my alarm in the same time no matter the day if the week. Unless I had a party or something.

Also, I also became very nostalgic. The music I listened to when I was a teen remains my favourite, and I’ve become very sceptical of newer trends. Back in “my day” everything was better lol.

And lastly, I finally get why my parents have barely any hobbies and instead just sit around or meet up with people. When I was young I always wondered why adults didn’t seem to care about learning new things. How their knowledge of subjects like math, biology, geography ,and physics had degraded after highschool. You come home after work and are tired. You need the weekend to recharge. I’ve already started working less (36 hours per week) and also have 36 days off in a year, which is extremely luxurious, yet I still managed to work myself into a burn-out. Unlike my parents’ generation, I feel like we grew up with an expectation to be more than your work. People my age (me definitely included) seem to care so much about the hobbies. Your side projects, programming, photography, art, music, sports, etc. It defines who I am, yet I have way to little time and energy for it next to being a cog in the machine.
