  • Imo it's a good thing tho. Spreading our civilization across multiple planets is the only way to guarantee long long term success. Obviously we should also fix the climate change issue (and many others). But still, being spread across the solar system would give our species redundancy. An extinction event on earth like a large meteor strike would no longer be the end.

  • Are other countries as nationalistic/"patriotic" as the US?

    Jump

  • Here in the Netherlands it's definitely not as crazy as in the US. People will fly the flag on national celebration days or on remembrance day. And during international soccer tournaments the country will turn orange. But the only flags I see on cars are upside-down ones from angry farmers protesting against environmental regulations and from nutjobs who still think that COVID vaccines contain microchips.

    People do tend to fly provincial flags and municipality flags sometimes tho. Especially in the best province, Fryslân (I'm not biased at all).

  • What do you even do at a gym?

    Jump

  • Not that I liked the gym, but for lazy people like me it's way easier than figuring that shit out on my own. There was a trainer who made a plan of which exercises to do when. And there were special machines for training different muscle groups that were very easy to use. You'd visit a lot of those machines after eachother and do for instance 3 sets of moving the weight 10 times up and down again. And apart from that there were the threadmills etc.

    Now I don't know about you, but I don't have threadmills in my house, nor any of the other equipment, nor someone who knows enough about fitness to know what exercises would help me best.

    That being said, I never liked it, I prefer to just start with something and keep doing that same thing for an hour or so. Currently I've been running multiple times a week for a few years already. Way cheaper and it also works better for me.

  • Which one are you?

    Jump

  • I've been in 5 for a while, but last week I made the 5 -> 2 -> 1 -> 3 -> 7 journey. My body and brain are playing this funny game where they're like "I'm too tired for that, let's not do it" and 50% of the time they're wrong and I'm feeling happy and the other 50% they were right and I crash out and suffer for the rest of the day.

  • How does everyone deal with this dilemma?

    Jump

  • I'll only buy something perishable when I need it. I tend to cook for 3-4 days in one go in order to make cooking for only myself somewhat economical. I tend to visit the supermarket every other day so I don't really have to plan too much.

  • we are not the same

    Jump

  • Yup same. And many like it. Good to know that this experience is shared lol. All the stalls will probably either be empty, locked, or have something fucked up in it.

  • we are not the same

    Jump

  • Same here it's so frustrating. It's usually when I actually have to pee. Would be cool if I could just wake up to actually go to the bathroom instead of going through this while show. Luckily the brain is at least smart enough to not mix up the dream with reality

  • Why do some people hate drinking water?

    Jump

  • I wondered this for a long while, but I've realized that I'm in a pretty privileged position. Where I live (the Netherlands) the tap water is not only drinkable, it's actually almost indistinguishable from mineral water. Certainly for me at least. I'm not much of a traveller, but when I was in Oostende in Belgium I remember the tap water was absolutely vile. It was (or at least tasted like) desalinated seawater. Instead of hydrating and refreshing it tasted stale and salty. If that was the only water I knew I probably would be drinking more refreshing stuff like ice tea or cola all day as well. When I got back to the Netherlands my first glass of tap water tasted like heaven.

  • The assumption that "the nazis" are responsible seeding these right-wing extremists like Trump is imo very naïve. These people have always existed, in every culture. Now that the time is "right" they've appeared again. The nazis were this group of people, but in Italy they were the fascists, and prior to WWII these kind of movements where growing everywhere. Economic hardship seems to drive people to the political extremes, and the far right preys on those people.

    For generations since the second world war we've said "never forget", and yet we've seemed to have forgotten. With almost no survivors left, every political grouping seems to have their own "memory" of WWII. And so the cycle of hate seems to have started another dark chapter.

  • Autism: "I need structure and planning in order to function" ADHD: "Yeah okay let's bring some structure and... wait did we respond to that message from yesterday? Oh look we still need to wash the dishes, let's grab... oh what's this plate doing here, let's put it back. Wait what were we doing again?"

  • Theory on being nice to Ai?

    Jump

  • Not sure what the theory is called. I tend to be nice to the AI assistant because my brain feels empathy for anything and will be angry if I'm not nice. If I can feel empathic for a slightly scuffed apple in the supermarket, I'll definitely feel empathic for an advanced auto-correct. The LLMs also seem so happy to help and even happier to get praised.

    Also not too bad that it costs them more money so this crazy "AI" bubble can pop just a bit faster

    Jump

  • After mono and COVID I kinda feel like my body just got stuck in the "everyone goes" stage tbh. Either that or it decided that this shit was above its pay grade and it is just doing the least amount of effort possible

  • Depends what kind of adult. I'm in my 30s and I still game for hours on multiple days in the week. But I don't have a family with kids to maintain.

  • I'm Dutch and I'be seem plenty of these over the years. I can't remember where tho, probably university and maybe highschool. I feel like they're (or were) quite common

    Jump

  • With mapreduce you should generally have your code written in such a way that that cannot happen. Unless the reduce step is improperly programmed.

  • Good description

  • My trains recently crashed :( On the plus side, this has reduced the screaming of the conductors and the remaining trains are having an easier time

  • Yeah that checks out. Now you're ready for that massively parallel big data (or sandwich?) processing

  • For those who play games on a PC with 2 monitors, are you a game on the left screen or game on the right screen person?

    Jump

  • The side doesn't matter to me. I have one screen in front and one to the side. The one in front is straight ahead just like a setup with only one monitor. My second monitor is some Dell 1280x1024 monitor from 2004 or something. It fits stuff like Mumble, Spotify, or documentation for something I might be working on.
