  • "-4. Huh." -- North Korean caddy

    Yeah, good point. I'm guessing Trump would be the sober one so he'd probably be a little more subtle about... no, this is an unsolved problem. I think we need to get them together and see what happens.

    "Guys, what would really impress your long dead fathers and finally make them love you is if you both bare knuckle boxed, but in a bear pit. You can take the bear on together first or let the winner do it. That would be so cool."

  • Ask they have to do is scale back 1% the first year, 2% the next, etc. The second it looks like a long term investment won't pay off they'll stop making them. Then we'll see supply chain issues slowly increase which will force fleet vehicle purchases over to electric or hydrogen faster.

    That will spread into the personal vehicle market.

    Demand will reduce for IC vehicles and so on.

    You don't need to make massive changes to have a big impact over time. The problem is every thinking this will get you shouted down by almost anyone with real money.

    The thing to do is also incentivize them to invest in the new, growing opportunities but again they want too, but without giving anything up.

  • I was definitely outlining and writing essays in early grades but was on an accelerated track. My friends from the neighborhood who went to a different junior high entered high school without ever have done this. That blew my mind at the time and still does today decades later.

  • Both of these methods require the student to understand the work. My old man brain insists they should have to code assembly from scratch and walk through snow storms to a library for their essay research, but in reality this is likely how this technology will be used. It's a practical approach. The 8th grade version should probably include fact checking.

  • I really think this is so much closer to the real answer (as in perfect for you given what we know). You didn't really say much about your life, and that's ok, but I'm going to assume you basically always had something you had to do it you'd go hungry or be in serious physical danger. Or maybe you were with a group of other people and when you had leisure time you got wasted or spent it as a group, not really doing anything, just glad to have a break from the hustle and trying to fit in so you didn't get your ass kicked.

    What you need to do here is think in terms of circles.

    Your first circle is your living quarters. I don't care if this is a prison cell or a fancy mansion, you need to end the day with the areas you use a lot tidy. Clean kitchen, bathroom presentable to someone you care about, bedroom not full of dirty clothes laying around and clean ones not put away.

    Get some podcast or music going and start walking through the places you can control. Pick up and throw write out garage, move other stuff to its real home (a place for everything, everything in its place). Use a Lysol wipe to clean the visible parts of sink and toilet. Empty overflowing garbage cans. Tidy the kitchen, go to bed with the dishes done.

    That's your inner circle. Wait until this is a habit. You can do it with your eyes closed now.

    Now, you are ready to do fun stuff. You can enjoy without subconsciously thinking you don't deserve that fun.

    What you do here is up to you but exercise is always an option, as is cooking. If you love to chill, maybe schedule tv time. Don't just sit down and spend thirty minutes scrolling. Keep a list of shows, movies, and docs. Watch those when you can. If you like to read, make a reading nook. If you live to run, keep your running clothes folded and ready to go so you don't have to waste time finding you clothes etc

    Now your circle can grow. Think about your future. Plan things in advance like maybe a trip to an attraction tourists normally visit in your city. Schedule it and do research on how to get there, what to do, stuff nearby to check out.

    This teaches you to take yourself seriously and shows you that you can plan and execute on your own.

    Now maybe a little more long term. Would you like to get a promotion at work? Maybe get your driver's license? Start saving long term (even a few bucks a paycheck adds up)? All these things are possible. You need to plan. And execute.

    I'll stop there because I don't know enough about what you really want. Just what you said about you background tells me you never learned to think long term.

    No one taught me that either, so I get it. I grew up in a really good home and safe environment and still never learned how to make a todo list out think long term. I worked as a cook in high school and after for several years and lived one day at a time. It wasn't until my health forced to into a new career that I learned a lot of these skills.

  • AI writing will be wanted more or less depending on what is being written, the context, the quality, and the audience. It is here now. If it is better, people will consume it. You might have a favorite AI writer for cyberpunk adventure but prefer a human written autobiography.

  • I mean I was aware of him before 1990 and really could not understand how he was famous or successful. My brother is older than me and Trump came up on the news one day and he said "he's either a criminal or his bankers are idiots". We grew up quite a ways from NYC if you're wondering.

    The older you are the more insane this timeline seems. I knew he'd get elected. Racism and sexism put him over the top. Still felt like I was going crazy watching it.

  • I have been using cartridges lately for my once per night before bed sess. It's extremely convenient and affordable.

    Here's the thing. When I use dry herb vaping, I tend to have the same amount every night and it's fine. I don't want to get baked, I just want to sleep.

    When I have a cartridge, I end up taking more drags from it. This leads to consuming now which increases your tolerance. It's just so easy to have a little more. When I use dry herb reloading the vape is just enough effort that I think "I'm good" and wander off to bed. Plus you have ABV to make edibles.

    Edit - no noticeable effect on breathing or whatever that differs from dry herb vaping.
