still fucking ride all over the goddamn place.
I used to sympathize. I ride a one wheel. It's categorically more sketchy than a bike. I never make my risk management anyone else's problem by my choice of route. It's a social contract and sadly the cyclist demographic seems to feel they are excluded as signatories. Unfortunately physics keeps pointedly disagreeing with them.
The difference is they might be able to do it, vs us who alternate between electing virtue signaling, ineffectual center right sheep, and outright fascist, climate change denying monsters.
I generally abstract to docker anything I don't want to bother with and just have it work.
If I'm working on something that requires lots of back and forth syncing between host and container, I'll run that on bare metal and have it talk to things in docker.
Ie: working on an app or a website or something in language of choice on framework of choice, but postgres and redis are living in docker. Just the app I'm messing with and it's direct dependencies run outside.
I wonder how much progress South Asian countries instead are making
If your basis for taking action on any issue is a dick measuring contest with other nation states, then you are using the same logic as the idiots in the US administration, and it's terribly flawed as a basis for crafting any favorable outcome. So don't do that.
I'll quote myself:
Why should we meet human rights goals that other countries do not? Why drive on this side of the road if another country doesn't? Why have any arbitrary set of standards AT ALL if we can just toss them out because some other asshole demographic decides they want to shit on the world?
Any net improvement affects the global system. Regardless of the actions of ANY other countries, we owe it to our descendants to act in a way that maximizes their survival and quality of life.
Oh sure, blame it on the brousin. If I had a nickel for every crime I've heard hand-waved away on unreliable brousins not hitting their kin in the head to dull their ignorance....
When I was about 12 (so late 80s) I went camping in Montana. Met a girl who was camping a few sites over and we got along well. Hung out for a bit. Until she started telling me about her sister who was crazy because she thought "little n****r babies were cute". I bounced. When we were packing later, up I was in the trailer she came by and wanted to say bye and exchange addresses to write letters (showing my age fr). I wouldn't even go out to talk to her. Mom was confused and mad that I was being rude to a new friend (until I relayed the conversation)
That's when I started despising them. At 12, when I met one of their racist spawnlings. Fuck that shithole, racist, ignorant country.
Cool story, homes.
