I’d vote for Jake

None of us are going to get to vote anymore

Guys, I know we all mean well, but no amount of activism and voting is going to make a difference anymore. They will suspend the Constitution and ensure we never have elections again. The Democratic experiment is over and we can’t keep thinking that we’ll be able to vote it out.

If you want to help, try and do it tangibly. Organize underground support networks for your queer and minority friends, seek or create covert resistance orgs, and have a realistic plan for pogroms.

Maybe after 9 trillion fucking dollars they’ll realize that it’s a scam and you can’t achieve AGI let alone super intelligence by throwing infinite data at an LLM.

Just tilt the seat back a bit more?

Do whatever you want. I like setting goals for myself like building stasis chamber farms, maxing equipment, getting all the techs, building beautiful bases, collecting rare ships, etc.

A buddy of mine has a PHD in Cajun Fusion. Turns out, harnessing the power of the sun is only slightly more complex than a good gumbo. Who knew?

Late to the party but I used to work in the Auto industry.

The brands I trust in order: Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, Mazda, Subaru.

That’s the whole list. Brands outside this list tend to produce dogshit cars, IMHO.

Brands on the list are known for being fairly reliable and easy to maintain. Buy the lowest trim options for the least amount of tech if that’s your prerogative.

I really want a set of movies or a long form TV series on the Butlerian Jihad after Dune 3.

This one is definitely going right to the ideas bin. I love new and creative ways to make the party question their sanity.

I went to a Hotel Furniture liquidator for some new furniture. Saw a good looking office chair and they only wanted $20 for it.

Brought that bad boy home and only then did I find out that they had sold me a new Herman Miller Aeron for only $20. Completely insane.

Make sure to loop a lock through the frame and both wheels. I use an ABUS frame lock on my rear wheel (never has to be removed) and a kryptonite chain lock for the front wheels and frame.

If you want to get really secure, replace fasteners with tamper resistant versions.

Nothing is ever theft proof, but there’s lots of ways to make your bike very theft resistant.

Do you ever take the time to gaze across the river and feel like you’re looking at a zoo enclosure?

Fusion 360 is a watered down version of Inventor, so kinda?

Top CAD programs are: Solidworks, Creo, Pro-E, and Autodesk Inventor. Solidworks is probably the most in-demand.

Pirate a CAD program, learn how to use it, then pay for the certification test.

After passing, you apply for CAD designer jobs or do Freelance CAD. You’ll have a leg up on everyone else if you have that certification. Many of these jobs are remote and don’t require college.

CAD programs may seem daunting at first, but they are actually pretty straightforward. If you can do basic math and play video games, you can do CAD.

Infinity war comes to mind for me. IIRC, the trailers contained a bunch of fake footage that wasn’t actually in the movie to prevent spoiling anything.

Just turned 27. I check literally every box here. 🫡

I’d get an electric car if I could charge it easily. Right now EV ownership is coupled to home ownership and mass adoption will never happen while this is the case.

If my apartment complex installed EV chargers in our parking lot, I’d be a lot more willing to get one. I ain’t spending 8 hours a day twiddling my thumbs in a grocery store parking lot just to drive between work and home.

I just started skipping the middleman entirely and now sprinkle lead chips directly onto my food. Saves tons of time and gives it that sweet sweet lead flavor. Mmmmmmm

Really puts me in touch with my roman era ancestors. 😊
