That’s why I keep my toothbrush wrapped in paper.

There’s things that I like about myself that I cannot put into words; it’s more a feeling.

Why are politicians doing nothing for first time home buyers?

Why aren’t universally some laws against home flipping and people owning more than one residential property? I think the right of having a roof over your head is a basic human right and every person out there deserves to have a decent home and not be forced to live on the street.

Because that would be socialism, obviously!

Very interesting read.

I also like how, at the end, it changed perspective to say “actually, our problem is not software, but politics”.

We must be aware of what agents we encourage and discourage through our actions.

solar panels will do a lot to reduce the problem of climate change significantly.

I’m saying this because I see a lot of young people having depression due to climate doomerism, and realizing there’s an effective strategy that can be physically implemented helps a lot.

correlation does not imply causality, mind you

something something “suffering builds character” smh

and keep eating the foods that you know give you inflammation

fucking wheat. I knew it was bad for like since my childhood, only stopped eating large quantities of it a year ago, when i finally got my shit together and converted to a mostly rice-based diet.

No, I’m just saying, what you eat and how you move can do a great lot to improve your general health and mood, except when the environment is total shit. Then you might still feel bad.

Yes, except if you grow up in a neighbourhood that is a fucking trainwreck, like I did.

shoes

they lasted 3 years, which is about 12x longer than i would have guessed.

“si” (italian yes) too much:

If you say si too much, you become a sisi.

oh okay, maybe the grass was just a gift to you, who knows?

Animals sometimes have very weird, individual behavior. You can’t just make any general rule what this specific bird was doing to you. Probably it wanted to communicate with you, tell you something. Maybe you should have observed it a bit, maybe it would have had something to show you, like maybe in the bush that it was coming from.

If the disk is internal and only used by linux, you should 100% use ext4.

NTFS is what windows uses. exFAT is like really, really old file system that is only used because of its wide compatibility nowadays. USB-sticks use them, because they have to be compatible with any device where you couls potentially stick them in.

You get only one boot partition (EFI partition) which contains the kernel and the initramfs for both operating systems. Then, you would create two partitions to hold the rest of each individual operating system.

Shared partitions can be ext4, but if they should be read-/writable by windows, I would recommend ntfs or exFAT.

I guess a part is that science seems to meticulously avoid the question “why do we live”, in a non-technical way, in a way that actually gives people a sense of meaning.

That and mental inertia, i.e. some things change very slowly.

It would technically work, yes.

But also, you’re wasting a lot of storage space that way, especially if you do it often. You really only should backup your home directory, it contains all your data. You can simply re-install the rest from the internet.
