Here ya go. Not done yet, definitely needs some polishing.

Not so much a problem, but a task I am working on:

I have a 3D-printed figurine of a Capybara in a shark costume, which I need to coat with epoxy resin and then strap it to a little and dense pedestal with a thin and transparent fishing line, so that I may submerge it in an aquarium.

Which deodorant do you use?

bath towels: weekly

bedding: every 2 or 3 weeks, depending on the season

The Forever War

I like to look at who owns a news source and which country it is operating in to get an idea how reliable it might be.

It is also worth looking at the rethoric: do the headlines seem clickbaity? Do the articles cover more than one side to a story?

I also look at the kinds of stories a news source covers, and whether it seems like they push some sort of agenda from the things they choose to report on.

But yeah, I have come to find a bunch of sources I trust, and that I go to for news.

Training good models requires lots of training data and computational resources, so the only ones who can afford to train them are big corporations with access to both. And the only objective they have is to increase their profit.

Donating blood plasma is good as it helps people in need. Sure, it sucks that there is a company in the middle making a profit, but not donating is not the solution to that problem, as it hurts the people in need more than the corporation in the middle.

I think its kinda similar to the tipping situation. Yes it sucks that restaurants don’t pay their employees properly and that you have to tip to support the employees. But not tipping hurts the employees rather than the restaurant owner.

In both cases, if we want change, we need to change the legislation.

Departing Scene in my ass

Jo, die handeln meinen Lohn aus, find ich nur fair dass ich dafür nen Beitrag zahle.

:( I don’t drive because I want to, I drive because there is no infrastructure allowing me to get to work any other way.

You will find nice people and potential partners everywhere. Even if only 1% of people are “your type” in a country of a few million people, that’s still tens of thousands of potential partners. I’d focus on other factors instead.

It sure is easy to portray your country as successful, clean and beautiful if you don’t allow any free press to contradict you.

Which is fair, I don’t respect extremists either, and I’m not saying everyone deserves your respect. However, society is all about limiting some rights to protect others. Inevitably there will always be different opinions on how to strike that balance. Not all these differences are worth fighting about, often it is much more worthwhile to talk to each other and work out a compromise. And that’s much easier with some level of mutual respect.

Yeah, imagine respecting other people, even if they have different opinions or opposing goals. Wild concept.
