Thank you. My only real concern point now is running Adobe stuff in a VM. Other than that I think I’m good to go.

I’m into Star Trek, and all set to switch to Linux this weekend!

And it’s always 42. No matter what, or when, or how.

Perhaps some day, if someone understands the galactic economy well enough to explain why it’s always 42 money, we’ll be able to stop fighting and arguing with each other long enough to come together united for once. And share in the beating of that smug smart ass who thinks they know everything.

I imagine it’s about trying to minimize the alcohol smell.
But I don’t realy know.

Do you have sources you can cite?
In English if possible. Though I’ll understand if not, and make due with what you have.

When I read the headline without context, I thought casting directors were just casting actors unseen over the phone.
But this is worse.

I think you have missed what they were really asking.

When I asked someone about it, they basically used them like bookmarks.

Taller is more expensive. That’s all.
If you have the space to go wider, that’s what everyone does.

Yah. But you realize that someone could simply lie to you right?

Thata what focus means.
If you’re spliting your focus onto several things, you’re not actually focusing anymore.

Cheaper. More flexable.

We’re not just looking at individual “donations” to single politicians. But hundreds of them, to all the politicians. And even more to create a massive “People’s PAC” that gets continuous reliable funding for donations, adds, fake studies and all the other crap we have to fight.

They go to the highest bidder.
And the wealthy have enough now to outbid whatever we come up with.

Even large groups of people can’t put together enough money.
It also costs a lot of money to organise that kind of thing.

I heard yammy, not yanny, every time. Which at the end of the video seems to be wrong. I did hear laurel when it was pitched down.

But that doesn’t really help what I’m saying, because I’m not listening to your speakers in your room with you.

Do you have trouble understanding people in the real world?
How often?

Apparently this isn’t an autism thing any more. It’s a pervasive problem lots of people are having in the last 10 years or so.

I do have auditory processing problems, and frequently misshear people in the real world. But practically never when watching things, even Nolan films. I literally don’t understand how more than half of people report needing subtitles on full time. I’d love to find somone offline who has this problem, and watch something with them to try to experience what they are.

In my experience as a kid, directly managing my emotions was practically impossible at that age. That’s got little to with autism though, a lot of kids are like that. The autism just means there will be different triggers than most other kids.

Many of my difficulties as a kid were in not understanding something everyone else just knew intuitively. For example, when playing a competitive game with friends, family, or classmates “The Game” doesn’t actually matter. Which game, who wins, who looses; These aren’t why people are there. But that’s how everyone talks about it. Everyone pretends that’s why they’re there. The reality is they’re simply using it as an excuse to spend time with each other. “The Game” serves no purpose beyond giving structure to a session of socializing. If you can explain that to him, and he can grok it. It’ll cut off much of his concern for wining. Maybe not completely, as some people are just annoyingly competitive. It’s possible he’s one of those. In which case I’d recommend switching to cooperative games.

Changes in the schedule are only a little different. Again because of how most people talk about things, it seems they’re fixed. When in reality most know intuitively, plans and schedules are dynamic. I eventually learned to do what I call “Planing for Chaos”. I needed to learn that every schedule is only a hope, not a guarantee. And when inevitably things don’t go as planned, I needed to come up with contingencies. Some generic: Put on headphones and listen to something while I wait. Others are more specific: If this doesn’t happen, I’ll go do this other thing instead, then check back. But it depends on understanding that the schedule is never anything other than a hope.

Disagreements are going to be the most difficult. I’m still not good at that. I generally avoid them, which I know isn’t good. Mostly because when I don’t, I will get… Intense. And I’m a rather large man now. It’s extremely easy for me to intimidate or even scare people when I get upset. And that’s never what I want to do. It generally works against me, no matter how compelling my argument.

Good luck. I hope that was some help.

It’s all a question of do you run out of memory often?

If you were going from 16 to 32GB, I’d say no. Because you probably don’t max out the 16GB every day. Maybe you do. There are ways that could happen.

But with only 8GB, you’re likely hitting that limit often. So yes I’d go to a slower 16GB in a heartbeat.
