Just push the money toward a good cause. You don’t have to be a billionaire for long.

Typical askreddit post, lol.

Would you [moderately be inconvenienced for a somewhat long-ish time] for [ridiculous amount of money]?

Right up there with all the “have you ever sexy sexed the sexything? Would you if a sexyperson was involved?”

Mild abstraction?

That is far too kind.

Wildly corrupted and monetized via algorithm.

Sorta. A relatively inexpensive Ikea cabinet for our nice dishes. That’s about it. Not one of those hulking wall-sized oak monstrosities full of “collectibles” that were popular many decades ago.

Go to a laundromat and use their machines or a wash/dry/fold service.

Alternative:

If you’re truly desperate to get away from public machines you can get standalone mini-washing machines that take up little room, and just hang-dry clothing on a collapsible clothes dryer. The washing machine can be sold to recoup some of the costs when you move. At $5-$8 wash load and 25¢/5 min dryer a load around me 20 loads would pay for a mini-machine. You can do laundry at your convenience, at home, and for cheaper as the machine sorta pays for itself in saved $.

Please spell and punctuate correctly, and don’t use “common use” as an excuse to hide your egotistical unwillingness to learn.

While knowledge like that is deprecated, the foundational skills and problem-solving it gave you are still very valuable. Modern systems are still built upon old roads, so people with this base level of knowledge have a far easier time sorting out what fixes are needed. Like being an old mechanic that diagnoses a car issue almost immediately because they can hear the issue without hooking up a digital diagnostic, they already know what to look for.

I miss older computers, lol. 2000-2010-ish was the golden era.

Sorry the aviation route didn’t work out. The two hardest ratings (IMO) are the initial private and then the IFR license. The former is learning everything about aircraft and flying, but IFR is learning to fly all over again. If you get those two everything else just feels like an add-on.

The vast majority of higher math and some industry-related chart interpretation as far as aviation goes.

I guess I’m probably older than 95% of the people here, so all the “spaghetti” charts we had to figure out, the actual trigonometry used to calculate wind correction angles, all of the math used to calculate EPR, thrust, and Mach speeds. Instruction in these calculations was very demanding and unforgiving. Then it all pretty much became useless as I followed the leading edge of software development and electronics moving into the cockpit. So I learned it all only to have it disappear within a few years.

Epstein didn’t kill himself.

There is a conspiracy. The fact that he was taken off suicide watch, nobody was watching him, and he was given the tools to kill himself was 100% deliberate. That’s the conspiracy.

I think most conspiracies are stupid, people stepping over $20 to pick up a dime. There are background actions driving events that they ignore but instead people look for UFOs, assassinations, or “second shooters” like they’ve got it all figured out.

I miss the excitement of new and better.

From cellphones bolted into cars

To affordable handhelds

To text messaging

OMG you can send pictures!? (Crappy, But yes!)

Free nights, free weekends

Then unlimited texts

Nokias to flip phones, to phones with slide-out keyboards and windows CE on them…

Then most plans slowly became unlimited data/voice/text

Then came the iphone which wrecked everything. They’re all black obelisks now that are virtually mini-pc’s that want to do nothing except track you, monetize you, keep you constantly connected, distract you, and disengage you. Nothing’s new, you just own less, pay more, and fight a retreating battle for your privacy and rights.

It is most certainly not real.

Fake, but funny.

Absolutely. Sometimes the two and three stars are useful, people tend to write more nuanced reviews about what went wrong or other issues with whatever is being reviewed. You might also find someone who has taken the time to find a fix if there is one, or suggest a possible alternative product that does the job. One stars are usually “this (thing) sucks because (reasons) and I’d give it negative stars if I could!”

A set of nice tools, keys to a cool car you’ll have to puzzle out, and a 4080ti card.

But then we get decision paralysis, and also wonder if there’s something else we’re missing to make the right decision.

AI? Absolutely seamless window frame and baseboard trim, like it’s one single piece and completely uniform.

You could shit into a open pit latrine or something.

I mean, there’s only so many ways to contain water and catch waste efficiently.

Because it’s hard or impossible to fit the grinders in some spaces like inside corners because the guards hit structure. I keep my guards on but it’s a pain in the ass to have to keep swiveling the guard to get into some spots, if it will fit at all. Either way, wearing a full face shield ppe is the minimum when using one of these. Guard or not they do a lot of damage when they let go.

Quite a few do now. There will be a serving size, calories per serving, servings per container, and a second column containing the totals for the entire container. This is usually on smaller packaged foods, snacks and the like. Unfortunately it’s not standardized to have the second set.
