Mint Cinnamon.

It’s easy, stable and gets out of my way.

I haven’t seen the need to dostro hop for years.

Nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.

If it makes you feel better.

I know nothing about you, but that is enough to make me hate everything about you and what you stand for.

Unless of course we can find a common enemy.

It depends on the distance to object. Also the distance between the object and something to compare it to.

Was a Ubuntu user from 9.10 until 20.04; snap shittyness caused me to hop around for a while. Settled on Mint a few years ago.

It’s stable, gets out of my way and lets me get my work done.

I cracked my ribs mountain biking. Two months later, I got food poisoning and re-cracked them, whilst throwing up.

I don’t want to sound judgmental. I’ve never been in your position.

One potential way to approach this would be to “bring the shelter staff on the juorney”.

• Tell them as soon as you confirm the job.
• Thank them for their support.
• Explain that you will be getting some equipment, and that you will need to connect it to Ethernet.
• Give them the great news, that you have organised housing for yourself, once that first paycheck comes in.
• Let them feel yes excitement, at the prospect of getting some momentum in your life.
• If they express concern, invite them to sit with you while you work, show them you are trustworthy.

This is a people problem, not a technical one. People that run shelters, especially volunteers, a good people. But they likely have been burned in the past; they will not blindly trust.

Also 45, I have heard the name, but I don’t know who he is.

A little, but not too much.

Flat taxes annoy me more than proportional taxes.

Quite the opposite

For distance:

• learn to do a 1m pace
• measure your height to compare against other things
• measure the length of your finger gun (mines basically 150mm)

For temperature (for me):

• below 6 think about wind chill and keep warm
• 6-10 = warm jacket weather
• 10-14 = pants and sweatshirts
• 14-18 = great exercising weather
• 18-22 = shorts and t-shirts or light sweatshirt.
• 22-26 = very warm
• 26-30 = uncomfortable
• 30+ = sweating just walking around

For weight, it is too dependent on your strength. For some, lifting a 20kg sack of flour would be to much, for others grabbing two 40kg sacks of cement per trip to the palet is normal.

I agree!

Accuracy and precision; when I used to shoot archery long ago; measure different things, accuracy is a measure of the spread of your shots, precision is a measure of how close to the middle your shots are.

It is not really weird, OP is arguing that the universe itself is deterministic. Taking a mechanistic approach to refuting that claim is perfectly valid.

There are a myriad of examples of physical processes that are chaotic, this invalidates OP’s claim.

To address the morality point, if God is the source of goodness and morality; beyond the question of “which God?” ; it means objective morality doesn’t exist, because God can change it’s mind about what is “good”.

But that is a discussion finds a different threat.

OK let’s just start with the assertion that there of a casual link back to the beginning of time.

We will begin with the big one first. We don’t even know if time had a beginning.

If we assume that time began at the instant of the big bang. There is no plausible link between my bean induced fart, and some random energy fluctuation, there are just too many chaotic interactions between then and now.

There are so many things we don’t know, making the extremely bold claim that free will doesn’t exist, is dangerously naive.

We can’t even solve Navier-Stokes; neuronal interaction is so far beyond what we are currently capable of, it’s ridiculous.

My recommendation to anyone contemplating this question. Assume free will exists; if you are wrong, it will made no difference; you were destined to believe that anyway.

The stock market is chaos, driven by bias and a bunch of unknown and unknowable variables.

A simple example with 3 players.

• P1 thinks stock A is a good buy (for whatever reason) at $1/unit. P1 decides to buy putting upward pressure on the price.
• P2 has been holding a bunch of A for a while and has a number ($1) in mind to sell at, P1 can’t know this information. This sale puts downward pressure on the price.
• If P1 & P2 have the same number of shares, the pressures are equal, and the price doesn’t move. If they don’t the price moves either up or down.
• P3 has been watching A, sees that it moves and decides that this is a good time to buy, (going down its a bargain, going up its on the rise get in early), putting further upward pressure on the stock.

Each action by the different players causes something to happen to the price, no-one can know all the internal thought patterns of all the other interested parties, and thus can never have perfect information. And even with perfect information, it may not be possible to predict, as some stocks interact in non-predictable ways.

e.g. Nvidia goes up, TSMC usually goes up, but not always. TSMC going down can be caused by Nvidia, but also thousands of other things also.

Conclusion: can the stock market be predicted? General trends - Yes, specific stock movements - No!

I like it that the site says the max length…this is not common. I wish it was.

Nice catch! Autocorrect is a pain…

I’ve been loosely following this for years. Great to see it getting close to the deployable state.

Also the eventual stem cell treatment for replacing damaged Inner ear cells

In time, has such a awesome premise.

But what we got was a “poor little rich girl” story.
