  • I've seen people make power generators using old washing machine motors. Youtube is full of them. Cutting PVC pipes to make wind ones and even water based ones off of rivers.

    I feel like some people would figure out basic electrical grids for led lights in homes at night and possibly a battery bank made of car batteries or something.

    Getting a laptop working in that environment wouldn't be too far of a stretch. Just need to find an old brother laser printer and a Linux USB and you're golden.

    Print off the critical farming/water treatment stuff you need and power it off.

  • From speaking to a career USPS worker...

    Ages ago you'd start your day and spend 4-6 hours sorting buckets of envelopes and packages. Then organizing them in smaller batches by block/street. Then 2~4 hours running your route.

    Now they have machines do pretty much all the sorting. But you still got a 8 hour shift. So it's 7+ hours of walking instead of the old 2~4. It's extremely physically demanding since you now have to deliver four times the mail due to the automation of part of your job.

  • I'm picturing a couple cuddled up in bed. Sitting up with a single DS. One person "driving" the game and the other backseating occasionally.

    Then the dialogue hits and y'all dub it.
    Sounds like an awesome time!

  • In the anime Ajin there are human who never die unnaturally via infinate regeneration but they still appear to age.

    Closest thing to death there is decapitation which grows a new head without your memories. But your original head gets futurama'd

  • See you can keep going with this and just grind the brain into a sausage and feed it to wild animals. Then it gets broken down into nutrients and excreted, then fertilizer into trees.

    At what point does one die in this chain?

  • Yeah In Time (2011) was there my brain went with the no death thing.

    I only saw the trailer, but my mind went to a future state where we solved aging, illness, disease and the like with technology / medicines.

    So we change our current culture to conform to that. Including late stage capitalism and the owning class.

    Verses everyone STARTING immortal. Its an even playing field since the starting lines are closer together. You don't have generational wealth with people being born into wealth over and over at the same scale.

    The head of the family that actually pulled themselves up from the bootstraps could still be alive and have the same core values of taking care of their workers. Instead of being dead and gone for 3 generations and enshittification takes root.

  • Yaknow there's a movie about everyone living forever and you basically pay with your lifespan.

    Technology advances enough to cure all diseases and stop aging. I think age 23-28 is prime. Some people look way more grown up at 28 vs 18. Also you're body is done growing and starts breaking down in the mid 30s.

    So yeah I'm thinking people are immortal via science. So it's sci-fi not fantasy.

    In fantasy humans would ALWAYS have immortality. It's not like a switch is flipped in 1990 and suddenly people stop dying and aging.

    Our society and culture would be completely different if death wasn't a thing. One of the reasons we have so many issues is religion. What religion would immortals have? What does war look like for immortals? How do you decide who wins a war when soldiers can't die? Violence loses its meaning with no death or injuries.

    We'd all become non-violent. Maybe war would be decided by board games like chess. We'd be more open to talking things out instead of just killing and taking from each other.

    Another issue with humans is overpopulation. Again resources being scarce and countries fighting over resources wouldn't be a thing in the way we have it today.

    See how this goes down the rabbit hole?

  • Its no death. Not no aging or sickness.

    People are still going to fall apart as they age. So I wonder if there would be a hard cap where you basically have a farewell party and go into a euthanasia booth/coffin.

    Unauthorized pregnancies would be criminal. No idea what that world would do with the child in that situation.

  • As a powershell first guy its really nice and simple to parse an object for the information you need vs using jq/grep/awk. It's also much faster.

    I find myself struggling to get the information I want out of bash sometimes and use LMM tools to assist me. In powershell it's sort of similar to jq with stepping into an object to get what I need.

    As far as the so many words, there's lots of short hand that's not really documented. You can also just use a few letters instead of the whole word. What's a pain is you can't combine switches. You have to do-thing -a -b -c instead of do-thing -abc

  • I can't stress this enough with everyone.
    The safest thing you can do while driving is be predictable.

    Don't speed up/slow down/stop abruptly. Use your turn signals before you need to do anything else.

    Example: I'm in the middle of a 2 lane ave in the center. My turn is coming up. Before I slow down, check my mirrors or turn to see if it's safe change lanes I turn on my signal. This let's everyone know I'm going to change what I'm currently doing.

    ... Sadly that also means the cars in the outside lane start speeding up because "oh no you're not slowing me down. I'm important and have things to do"

    This self centric mentality just tells people not to use turn signals and just jump in front of other cars without notice.

    Then we get more accidents.
