I have more energy in my 30s than my 20s

you should see people who play competitive fps games fly through windows menus and websites. the reason I think mousing is superior to keyboard is when you attain a high skill level of eye hand coordination, you are completely adaptable to any GUI.

disdain for dumping industrial sludge into rivers is quite high too. if you don’t demand regulated domestic production it will just get moved to the least regulated place with the best underlying economics, I imagine you know this though…

Nuclear bombs and ICBMs aren’t a net positive for society either, but not pursuing them is bad geopolitical strategy.

lol, i think the LLM shows more wisdom here than the average person. Functionally, being 50m away from the car wash is at the car wash if you have a dirty car in your possession that needs cleaning. Realistically, the only reason you express the need to go to the carwash if you are in a 50m proximity with your car you intend to clean at the carwash is if you need to walk in and talk to someone.

nah, there is no reason they should be discharging any hexavalent chromium, we have better, less insanely toxic ways of chroming things. trivalent chromium is much less toxic, hexavalent chromium should be banned world-wide.

what's more, i'm not finding a reason that tesla would need hexavalent chromium in battery production, which leads me to speculate that this is waste from one of their other car factories where they presumably have a hexavalent chrome line (it's a cheaper and more robust process than trivalent chrome) and they are mixing/discharging on purpose at the limit at this plant.

Collecting crime data is already in their purview. Thats literally what this is. If this was an app that primarily facilitated contract murder, this would be obviously justifiable. Seems to me you and many others here just don’t actually believe in the states regulatory authority of digital things, like the computer in your car.

Earth's resources are finite, both in terms of raw materials and ability to absorb pollution. Stewardship of our resources entails the regulation of the things we create with those resources such that our collective consumption is conserved. Such oversight is both prudent, and as history and global outcomes teach, quite necessary.

> 3M

Since it hasn’t been mentioned in this thread: 3M 94 primer with 3M VHB tape is truly amazing stuff for bonding things with high surface energy.

Man, it's almost like materialism actually is a root of suffering. Who'da thunkit?

I mean we have academia, which is essentially secular study. Moreover Atheist don't need to go to church together to indoctrinate their beliefs, that happens every day when no miracles happen and the world continues to be kill or be killed anywhere animal intelligence has not overcome that reality in some small pocket. Atheist also tend to understand that their is no forgiveness and they have to sit with their actions for the rest of their limited days, so it's not a great idea to go out and do terrible things for treasure.

I’m not crazy like some people, but I’ve broken screens many times and every time it has been in a case, one time it was in a case I specifically bought for extra protection.

Half of my screen breaks have been from getting out of my car with my phone in my lap and gravel on the ground.

Another way I’ve broken screens is from my phone falling out of my pocket and onto rocks/concrete. That has happened twice.

And the final way has been from getting smashed in my pocket. I slipped while scrambling some rocks and my phone(in a case I bought for this long backpacking trip) got smashed on my hip, another time I was running around at my friend’s house at night and ran into a wheel barrow, smashing it on my thigh.

Never had a battery fail.

A note: My current iPhone 16 pro is built like a tank, and the glass is truly extraordinary.

In such situations I'll put it in Low Power Mode & Water Mode which works fairly well locks it down from stray input.

> I use all the shortcuts subconsciously.

I realize you probably are referencing visual studio, but at the OS level KDE plasma seems to have copped Windows hot keys wholesale. I was giving it a go recently and was delighted that even meta+arrow keys for monitor switching fullscreen apps works. My only gripe, and what got me booting back into windows, was that even the latest wifi drivers for my brand new wifi 7 motherboard were too flaky to reliably play multiplayer online games.

Here is the announcement on X.

https://x.com/antigravity/status/2031835833716625883

They retoactively reduced (and introduced for Pro3.1) their weekly quotas. I've been building with Antigravity on a Pro subscription and having all of my quotas other than Gemini flash at 0 with a nearly 5 day reset when I went to start today was a massive downer. Probably going to look at switching to Claude Code. I really can't understand how Google can't afford to bury Anthropic, they should have a massive hardware advantage.

> They came down hard on asset-flipping shovelware before the rise of AI

That’s not what I remember, I remember PUBG being a viral hit that extensively used asset flipping.

Maybe try this? I have great results on the ios keyboard by simply making two changes to the keyboard settings. I turn off auto-correct, and turn off slide to type. I made this transition when they first introduced slide to type, as that setting changes the touch algorithm to prefer where you lift from vs where you tap initially, or at least that’s how it felt. I also have turned off predictive text because I never use it, it’s faster for me to just type out the words than it for me to watch the predictive text.

Yes? Not like we can prove one way or the other.
