Sure, absolutely it’s a great skill to have just in case. Ditto for preservation.

And there’s other babysitting-type jobs out there, if that’s what you want. Actually that’s one sector poised to grow a lot do to AI, because AI needs hella babysitting.

If you’re not eating anything else, but still have a year-round growing season, it takes an acre or two for modern agriculture to feed a person. That’s a lot by city standards, but not in general (it was more like 60 in pre-modern times). It’s basically what the Ethiopians mentioned are doing, plus the cocoa so they can have things that don’t grow on trees, as well.

and will like 30min of effort a day you can have more than enough for your own needs.

Mountains of human experience suggests it takes a lot more effort than that. Have you had to deal with pests, drought or disease yet?

You might still come in under 8 hours a day, but then you add in the cash crops… Again, this is something only white people generations away from subsistence farming seem to think will be easy.

So do you have a kind of mixed farm + social media presence thing going then?

At the end of the day, farmland is going to earn a similar basic return to whatever other capital asset, and while farming labour isn’t unskilled the amount of people raised in it means it earns like it is.

Nobody who says this is picturing manhandling half-dead battery chickens, and it’s usually someone white who isn’t going to move to the mountains of Ethiopia to farm subsistence crops and cocoa. That pretty much leaves something land-intensive.

I did talk to someone on Lemmy who made it work with ranching, but ranching is definitely not a good earner right now, and a lot of people are leaving the industry. Modern crop farming seems a lot like a desk job on wheels. Mainly, I think people just want space and fresh air, and have no idea what rural life is actually like.

This Lemming rural-s.

Not sure I believe you, TBH.

Although if you’re doing it a lot, you’ve basically removed the main advantage of using Rust.

By the way, how is compilation to things other than LLVM going? I haven’t checked in a while.

Aww. I just like funny stuff.

Are they sure, or is that just their opinion? /s

TBF there’s a logic to this one. It’s basically a science fact, and is unlikely to ever be important to someone’s personal goals.

That’s maybe not a person most of us would have common ground with, though.

You have to be careful with the Big Mac index. That’s a foreign delicacy in a lot of places, and there might be a guy selling a nice meal for a fraction of the price on a street nearby.

In Europe it might work.

If you’re thinking of protein design it is, just with a sequence instead of natural language text. Although it’s not just a straight LLM, there’s some kind of physics awareness engineered in as well.

Anything that’s fuzzy and impossible to automate with traditional algorithms, but that also has a reasonably high tolerance for error. It just makes up stuff a good portion of the time, you see.

However, I’ve found some benefits with AI. For example, I’m chatting with ChatGPT on credit cards, because it is something I may lean towards getting into. It’s helping me better understand than most people have tried explaining to me. Simply because it is giving me a more stream-lined response than people just beating the bush.

Watch out, personal finance is not one of those things.

Yep. They had two catastrophic failures within months of each other, with the second one flooding out a bunch of people in their cars, and everybody’s just kind of praying there’s not another before they can be fixed. They’re steel wire reinforced concrete pipes, which don’t love salty ground water, and Calgary is more often than not experiencing winter and frequently icy.

It seems like “your feelings usually/always come from your thoughts” would count as a tip. You’ve done CBT so it’s apparently not a new one, though.

Maybe someone else has had luck with something less direct, I don’t know. Best of luck.

I mean, if you’re going to claim the French or Russian revolutions, they might as well claim the American one.

Generally the goal is to start rewriting patterns of thought once you identify them, by sorting out the ones you don’t fully believe. Maybe you just quit too soon?

The thing is, there’s only so much we can do over the internet with the information you’ve given. I have no idea why you think you’re an unworthy romantic partner, or how reasonable those ideas are.

If you have thin bird skin, I wonder if it could actually cause a nasty burn.

Not really, they’re lightly built. A sparrow might be 25.
