Who knows why we start doing things. But lucky for our ancestors, silver is a good antibacterial.

As for “modern”, piercings have been around in modern times just as much as historical. You may have grown up and/or live in a more conservative (i.e. puritanical) area where it’s less common.

This is good for when the hardware is purchased second hand, or has become obsolete in the future.

I have an iPad I’m still holding onto with the hopes that one day it’ll be Linux worthy.

So yeah, buying new Mac hardware for linux doesn’t make sense. But that’s not the only use case.

This right here. Constantly nagging them about something they are ashamed of will only make them more resistant to help.

The company let the idiotic engineer go a couple of months later for deleting AutoCAD from his computer to make room on its hard drive for a game.

So destroying five PCs, and losing a lot of project files, is a-okay 👍. But deleting AutoCAD for a video game is where the line gets drawn? 🤦‍♂️ 😂

It might help if you read the remainder of my comment. 🤷‍♂️

Hear me out: I don’t blame landlords for wanting to protect their investments. But, I do have a problem with them (and guys like James here) who do it at the expense of the downtrodden. Being a landlord should not have to be mutually exclusive with helping people.

“I’d much rather make a squatter homeless than have a landlord lose property,” James added.

Keeping it classy.

Alcohol and drug use aside, I have changed a few things about myself and my routine that have helped me tremendously. Maybe they can help you, or someone else:

1. Cook for yourself. Find some simple recipes for wholesome meals (i.e. wholesome in the sense that it meets your nutritional requirements, and that you make it yourself most from scratch).
   • I tend to focus on lean meats, high protein, and green veggies.
2. Set aside one or two hours in your day for just yourself. Play video games, read a book, watch a movie, or take a walk. The idea is to scratch a personal itch you would otherwise deny yourself because of responsibilities or “lack of time”.
3. Naps. If you can, try to take a nap each day. Try to stay with 20-30 minutes, but recognize like any habit/hobby, it takes time to get it right.
   • I’ve gotten to the point where I’ll set a 30 minute timer and only actually nap for 20 minutes.
4. Meditation. I usually do this when I nap or go to sleep for the night. I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are in a headband (for sleeping), and I’ll cue up an hour long ASMR or guided sleep video. The guided sleep ones are real good because they teach you box breathing, and help keep your mind focused on yourself so it doesn’t wander into the things that keep you awake.
5. Develop a regular cleaning schedule. Not only will it keep your house clean and tidy, but it allows you to focus your energy into something productive and positive.
   • I use my Notes app to create my to-do lists, and check things off as they get done.
   • If I do something not on my list, I add it and immediately check it off; having a really long list checked off feels real good.
   • I don’t care if I get my list done in a day or week. It’ll get done.

CBD gummies for me, but yes, samsies. Cheers!

Doing the Lord’s work. 🙏 Amen.

I was thinking around the outer edge of whatever separates the circle from the wall, so the illumination comes from behind.

Edit: on a second look, I might’ve been mistaken.

Wow. Great choices! Would the TARDIS wall also include LED lighting behind each circle? Because as much of a pain in the ass as that would it, it’d also be like bow ties.

You got the wrong agency. Kash Patel is head of the FBI. The director of the CIA is John Ratcliffe.

The point isn’t whether it’s needed or not. It’s not about space or features. The point is that a major player made a design decision and bucked the system. And while there may still be some phones with audio jacks, the majority of mainstream phones don’t. That major player is still successful, and other companies followed suit.

Can we agree this is what should happen to HDMI. No?

🤦‍♂️

There would be uproar, but like the audio jack on phones people would come around. All it would take is one big enough company to pull it off, and the rest would follow.

This wouldn’t work to scale. If Valve paid to license the spec for the Linux kernel, it would have to pay for every person who downloaded the driver, which is far more than the amount of people who buy the Steam Cube.

Unless of course you’re suggesting that the kernel driver for the new spec become closed source.

Using AI as a tool like any other is fine. It’s the blind trust that it can do everything for you that is problematic (not to mention the fact people hide the fact that something “they created” is AI). Just like with any other computer system: garbage in, garbage out.

Sounds like to me that you’re ignorant of what mental illness is and how it affects people’s judgment.

~But hey, you get to feel superior, so you’re good, right? 🤷‍♂️~

2nd paragraph:

The issue … is the interpretation of a restriction on the “no tax on tips” deduction passed as part of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act that says that tips earned for prostitution or “pornographic activity” are not eligible.

The 3rd paragraph goes on to explain:

The legislation didn’t offer much additional guidance, and the IRS has yet to issue any statements clarifying what exactly constitutes “pornographic activity,” leaving the taxing agency in a similar boat as Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart when he endeavored to define “obscenity” in the 1964 case of Jacobellis v. Ohio: “I know it when I see it.”
