Ton (imperial) is 2000lb vs tonne (metric)

Online payments, which is a lot of transactions.

8-5 with unpaid lunch is normal here. 830-45 is “late” even if you work til 530-45. Just my experience

Same, and it meant for my peeps that we don’t go out to eat as much. It’s having the same effect as those that don’t tip having that thought imo

This is a great indicator that free will isn’t what we think. I’ve been chatting to maga family about free will through that “how we managed to escape the rabbit hole” lens. There’s often a lot of reasons we have different opinions and tracing the distributed causality is pretty fun because you can avoid the propoganda talking points but still make progress. I think it helps them question information or to be more guarded instead of immediately parroting fox news lines.

I think we are settling into the idea that sacrifices will need to happen somewhere before we can make it better. Not everyone will be able, but the more that can the better. Go to local town halls and watch what they say near you, it might be surprising.

If your hours don’t allow for that, then you have a job that is actively suppressing your ability to work in politics and you would need to try some other approach, if you’re interested in doing.

I definitely vote as far left as I can in primaries

Military service is another “fantastic” way to get higher education

Thanks for clarity I’m interested and questions go through my head as the election approaches: What is the good alternative to participating in voting? Is it bad to vote for Biden if we don’t have third options?

Is it accelerationist to have this meme position? Is that good? Explain plz. Thx

Almost Daily. I make wine and drink about 2 bottles a week. 🤗 usually spread out a few glasses in the evening for a few hours after I’m done with anything that requires leaving the house up to bedtime.

Why event organization? are you already familiar with each piece in that list? Why that tech stack? Do you need to care about scaling or is self hosting more fun for this?

The distinct concept might be to take that stack and do something else with scheduling? I think weaving in a thing you like or want to specialize in would be better than a generic scheduling app (I don’t know those apps you mentioned).

If you’re doing a web app focus then the MongoDB INSERTS and updates will be easy to template once you find how they communicate. The DB should do less of the logic and just hold your “primative” data that can’t be calculated. It might even do BLOBs if you want to skip a cloud bucket because you won’t have to scale…

Good luck!

What’s the other word? There’s a lot of details that are missed where we could have a better functioning democracy, not that it’ll happen. But other words tend to be authoritarian, could be a bias. Anarchism will never count imo :)

Who else is on there already 😇

This guy thought about that question, if you wanted to see that perspective.
