Good to know, thank you! I’ll have to look closer when I visit a forum next.

Reddit does shitty stuff, but at least I’m able to find stuff on there. Why Discord took off as a medium to replace forums is beyond me. It’s not easily searchable, and search engines can’t index it. If people aren’t fastidious about replying to messages they’re responding to, it’s just a nonsense stream of consciousness from dozens of people.
That being said, I hate the formatting of most forums. Reddit and Lemmy’s comment nesting is excellent. It’s very easy to follow conversations.
I take a 30 to 40 minute walk (2 miles) every day at work. Sometimes it’s to clear my head. Sometimes it’s to think about work. Sometimes it’s to think about not work. No one cares, and if they did, I’d argue it’s time well spent for the company. I can’t get anything done if my brain is overflowing with crap.
Man, a work LAN party would be pretty cool.
No, their airlines are not an ancillary product. They are their main product. According to Boeing’s earnings reports, the commercial aircraft segment of the company made up 56% of total revenue in 2018, 42% in 2019, 27% in 2020, 30% in 2021, 38% in 2022, and 43% in 2023. The rest of their revenue is split between the Defense, Space and Security segment, and the Global Services segment.
Prior to 2017, the vast majority of the earnings for the whole company came from the Commercial Airplanes segment. Since then, that segment has been operating at a loss. Since 2022, both Defense and Commercial Airplanes have been operating at a loss.
If you’re curious you can look up Boeing’s 10-k form. Page 56 has the revenue breakdowns.
Why would they love this? More claims means they have to pay out more. Even if they’re assholes and don’t pay out, they still have to process and fight claims which costs money.
There’s one of these in the middle of a painting from 1533

The Constitution came into effect nearly 13 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed.
I’ve played Stellaris for 12 hours straight, only stopping to go to the bathroom, from 7pm to 7am multiple times. I don’t work nights.
It’s a problem.
And then everyone asks you if it’s natural, especially if you’re a man… oh well.
Thanks for the fun fact!
Philips screws are awful. They strip if you look at them wrong. Flatheads should only be used on thumbscrews just in case you need a little extra torque from a screwdriver.
Torx and Hex are excellent.
Porsche measures their automatic gear changes in milliseconds. Smart measures them in geologic time scales.
I truly don’t understand why they didn’t put a CVT in those 2nd generation cars (the ones sold in North America). It’s the perfect application! Small car, not a lot of power, efficiency minded.
My wife’s old 2004 Honda Civic. It was the worst piece of shit I’ve ever had the displeasure of driving. And it was super unreliable to boot!
It was dangerously slow. Getting on the freeway always required full throttle to get up to speed in time, which was never enough. Some cars egg you on, “Go faster! Let me rev! I love revs! Speeeeeed! Power!” This thing was like Eeyore on Adavan, “Huh? Power? If I have to. Ththrhtbbt. That’s the best I can do.”
The “top rated” Goodyear tires we put on it were fucking awful as well. The tire compound was super hard, so despite the pitiful power, you could always spin the front tires in the dry. Despite the hard tire compound, they wore out 20,000 miles before their warranty was up. One time while exiting the freeway, the shit box decided it wanted to oversteer (the tail slid out) as I went around a corner at a very reasonable speed. Luckily, I was able to hold the slide and correct it (which was pretty cool). I like to push cars and to go fast, but I’ve never ever had a front wheel drive car oversteer on me before, especially at super low speeds. This isn’t really the car’s fault, but the shit tires come with the shit territory.
It had no safety features other than seatbelts and a couple airbags. No anti-lock brakes. No traction control. It had manual windows (fine, I guess), manual mirrors (eww), and manual door locks (gag me with a spoon!).
Despite all these omissions, it had alloy wheels and a spoiler from the factory! Oh, but it’s ok, it’s the fucking “value package” so all my friends won’t know I cheaped out on a car until they have to wait for me to get in the car to unlock their doors!
In the 4 years she had it, the following broke:
What an awful car. Still, at least the previous owner left a new condom in the glove box when she bought it.
I hate all peanut products. I’m not allergic, either. Whenever my wife has peanut butter, I stay in another room and open the window. For some reason it’s absolutely revolting.
Who needs “AI” when the simple algorithm they already use works perfectly well?
while 1==1:
deny_coverage = True
Logseq has tags. Logseq does store data in markdown files. There’s one file for each page.
I haven’t tried Obsidian, but I use Logseq all the time. What do you think is holding Logseq back? I’m just curious.
I know for me the mobile app lacks some polish and it lacks plugins, which is annoying.
Hell yeah. Though, I do get strange looks when I’m giving a thumbs up or down to an inanimate object…
The lidar removal really pissed me off. At best, a Tesla can “see” as well as the human driver. It seems to me that half of the point of using a computer to drive a vehicle should be that it can easily access sensors that us meat bags don’t have access to.
Plus the stupid central instrument cluster in Model 3s and Model Ys is beyond idiotic.
Yeah. I did want to reiterate that usability of the phone was the primary driver of the change, not necessarily battery life.
I got no indication of a dying battery other than needing to charge frequently until Apple implemented a battery health feature. That was after they fixed the shutdown issues.
“Caaaarl! That kills people!”
