Yeah. Environmentalism, workers rights, social justice. Totally Milei's core issues /s.

Edit: Just to sell it a little harder, this album has phenomenal songwriting. It's got a laid-back LA-surf-rock sound with elements of punk and maybe a hint of wistful country in the lyrics.

The What! Help is On The Way

This album and band is endangered, no CD's, unavailable on any music streaming service.

The only online version I could find is this a random YouTube upload.

One of my favorite bands ever. They were introduced to me by a friend's sister in, like 1999. Their band ended quickly after the death of one of the members.

The only other link related to them now appears to be a remaining band member's channel, which hasn't been updated in 11 years.

I'm so in favor of that time format, both 8601 and 24 hour.

Because they are already building it.

How's that supposed to work?

I'm picturing a backpack full of batteries and graphics cards. Maybe they're talking about a more limited model?

I love it !

AI really seems to have trouble with descriptors like high/low, big/small, open/closed, above/below, etc. the best workaround I've found is to try to use synonyms. In this case, I might try something like "squinting completely."

I love that channel, but yeah. I'd like to see them revisit some of the earlier topics. The most recent videos are sometimes a bit overwhelming.

Anton Petrov is an absolute gem, knowledgeable and likable and insanely productive.

Two of my favorites are already up. Here's some more.

Professor Carolin Crawford's Gresham stint is my all-time favorite astronomy lecture series. It's somewhat outdated, especially on the topic of Pluto, but fundamentally, it's outstanding.

From Brady Haran, Sixty Symbols covers physics and astrophysics, and Deep Sky Videos covers astronomy.

Dr Becky does current events in astrophysics and astronomy.

The Royal Institution, and The Perimeter Institute offer a lot of good lectures, but aren't exclusively astro.

Likewise, for a more explainer-style, and not exclusively astro, there's Fermilab and The Science Asylum .

So, aside from the ad block everyone loves and I don't have the characters to type, what do we recommend?

I'm guessing op meant to say "if you have the budget..."

My primary concern buying a TV would be UX. If the menu system is well thought out and they're not spamming the user with advertising, it's probably a good indicator that they're investing in good hardware too.

Not that I wouldn't totally geek out for weeks watching reviews and learning all the minutiae of light levels and color accuracy before pulling the trigger. The research is half the fun.

Gotta do the star fold with the thin stuff, get the grain aligned like plywood to keep it from splitting.

Ain't nobody single-sheeting paper that thin.

Nothing, but on my way home I was listening to this Kola Nut mix of 90's Bristol DnB.

It's dope.

I don't remember when, but there was this PBS interview with a chronic pain specialist, talking about his inability to effectively medicate pain away. The line I remember is "You have to stop worshipping the volcano gods of pain." I've kept that line in my back pocket for years.

That said, there's a massive problem with both exploitation and managerial incompetence in the professional world. I'd never suggest putting up with that any longer than is financially necessary. Being overworked, underpaid, or boxed-in is a poison that eats away at your future.

I think the real unpopular opinion here is indifference. Hawaiian pizza is pizza. Pizza is good, so Hawaiian pizza is good. It's the same feeling I have about a cheeseburger pizza I got from Telepizza in Spain.

It's pizza. Unless it's raw, rotten, or soaking wet, we're going to have a good time.

Here's the trick I used when I was young and poor. I worked for cash with an estate liquidator, and I saw the passion some of the customers had for their collectables. I decided to develop that flavor of passion for a collection of $20 bills.

For me, the hardest part of saving money (assuming it's even a possibility) is avoiding the trap of saving to spend. The savings itself has to become a goal, and that can be really, really boring.

Another tactic I used was to always save double the value of a large planned purchase: if I started with $500 and I wanted a $200 item, I'd save until I had $900 before spending. That way my stack never felt like it was diminishing.

If I'm not actively using a tab, I'll close it, unless I'm working on a longer term project. Right now I'm planning a fairly long trip to South America, so I've had several travel sites up for multiple weeks.

Edit: am X/millennial cusp.

I'd be concerned with the amount of unsprung weight this adds, too. You're basically taking the transmission and adding that mass to the hub. Seems like it would be pretty crashy on rough surfaces.
