And there it is.

Sorry, you are just selfish.

I've no desire to persecute anyone, yet once again you assume I do.

All I ask is that my neighbours use a fan, it doesn't bother me enough to interfere with them, I just WISH they could be a little less selfish. They aren't, and in the grand scheme of things it's fine.

You seem to intentionally misrepresent what I state and play the victim.

Indeed cannabis is fully legal in many jurisdictions and it's becoming more and more common - I'm not convinced by your "life and death" narrative here in the slightest.

No - I don't care much what happens to you, I don't know you from Adam. However, nor do I care how much or how little of your sacred herb you smoke.

I merely ask that if you find yourself around others, have some consideration for them. Wishing someone would put a fan on while they smoke, out of good will is hardly a conspiracy scale persecution.

If you can't grant others this courtesy, I'm still going to leave you alone. I may however post a vague post on the internet indicating displeasure for certain people's lack of manners and respect for others.

While I do enjoy both sex and travel, this doesn't seem the appropriate forum to discuss it in.

In a way, that's somewhat my point.

The tip isn't the problem, the expectation that the tip will occur and thus salaries can be lowered as a result of it - is.

You assume I have not tried it, you assume I have not tried other substances. You assume a lot while pushing a narrative of your own.

If your mind is so open, why are you so closed and selfish towards other's view points?

It tells me you write prose in a manner becoming of an unhinged madman.

You make a lot of very strange assumptions about who I am and what I've done with my life.

And you'll note, I don't stop them, nor complain - I merely WISH they were a little more considerate in their partaking of the herb, I'd be less irritated.

Additionally, they don't have "every right" it's entirely illegal here, but I've no interest in calling the police over it - as again, I just wish they were naturally a little more considerate over their use of shared space than having a desire to punish them over it.

Should we tip the robots too?

"Just leave then"

Fine, I'll take the bait.

I moved here by choice, my "ancestors" have nothing to do with Hong Kong.

I also don't wage a war against my neighbours who are simply trying to "enjoy a smoke".

I still don't appreciate when my house smells of cannabis when I leave the window open and don't turn on the fans I have in the balcony.

My neighbours could turn on a fan to dissipate the smoke, they don't it's inconsiderate, but I'm not going to ruin their day over it.

Moving over this, does not make any sense, the whole argument of "If you don't like it then leave" reeks of ignorant entitlement.

YOU are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Americans are tipping literal ATMs. It's out of hand. The employer should be paying the salary of the servers - unless you are living in some kind of failed socialist state?

I didn't "choose" to live in a multi-unit apartment, I live in Hong Kong - there is no other option.

"Just leave them!" Yeah. Ok.

Try empathy, it's free.

We shouldn't be tipping anyone, I don't understand the fascination with perpetuating a system that encourages employers not to pay a living wage.

I've been off and on them for years, usually my doctors seem to prefer if I'm off them and indeed treat them more as short term "stabilizers" so that my brain has a bit more space to deal with things.

This has been true across two countries (Scotland, Hong Kong) and multiple doctors, with a third country's (China) doctor suggesting I try out sleeping tablets for a few weeks - and only giving me a very limited supply of them - to try out instead.

I wonder if the "here take these" is a predominantly American phenomenon due to the weird incentives around health care costs (I'm being genuine here - maybe it's predominant in other countries too, I honestly don't know!)

Chinese model censors topics deemed sensitive by the Chinese government... Here's Tom with the weather.

I'm not so sure... Where I grew up there was no arcade.

It's easy to say that we are more connected but far apart, but only if you ignore the democratization that has come with that connectivity.

Your point reads strangely, it's almost like saying "Why even bother when CO2 emissions are so high" - surely ANYTHING that they are doing to turn that around should be celebrated and encouraged rather than saying "Yeah but..." - Rome wasn't built in a day and all.

The back of them really are stunning, sadly the listing doesn't seem to shown that it also has snoopy in a rocket which sweeps round as well as the earth rotating - they aren't limited edition either so not impossible to obtain! (Though... Not cheap either)

To be fair though, complaining about 'things' is practically a British national sport.

Same, I created a todo list with a simple MCP and it's been game changing, just being able to talk/discuss with my todo list somehow seems to keep me coming back to it rather than after 3 weeks it just becoming a sterile and abandoned list of random things

Having just paid a small fortune to renew my passport. I'm not super excited about this, especially as I live outside the UK.

I also don't trust them not to make a complete hash of all this, removing all potential utility while simultaneously increasing the chances of my ID being stolen.

It gives me somewhat more Amiga A500 and A500+ vibes... ;)

I see it as a spiritual successor to my much loved childhood Amiga A500 which partially spurred my life long love of computing.

The GPU pins on the back are nice, as is the fact that all IO is cleanly at the back of the device.

That being said, my only real desk is almost entirely consumed by workstation/gaming PC and it's associate monitors that ironically this more convenient form-factor is less convenient for my use cases.

I have a bunch of Pi4s at home they work well as I can power them over PoE, don't spit out too much heat, have a well supported stable OS and are great for running small personal projects and workloads. (Home assistant, DNS, a few other docker containers that power things internal to my network) - sure a NUC would be more powerful, but then I have to find a way to route power in to it, and I'm running out of wall sockets!!
