  • Can I recommend rollerblade wheels? AKA inline skate wheels.

    You can upgrade while repairing.

  • Not sure how manly it is to dye it pretty colors and then sew leather.

    But, sure. Let's go with manly. :)

  • Interesting, I did not know that.

    I hope now that cameras are cheap and common that they will start adding them to busses to cover those blind spots. Not a perfect solution, but better than nothing.

  • I do not see any dimensions mentioned on the linked page. Is a google pixel 8 small enough?

    5.9 height x 2.8 width x 0.4 depth (in), 150.5 height x 70.8 width x 8.9 depth (mm)

  • That's plausible. Many scenarios are possible.

    This guy was walking down the street. And being black in a high class white snobby suburb.

  • I saw a cop on the news a few years ago saying he smelled alcohol on someone's breath as justification for stopping someone. Not sure that was factual.

    There's always some bullshit reason they can use to stop someone and then bullshit charges they can apply.

  • Wow. You really have a chip on your shoulder, my friend. If that was a lecture then you are going to have a hard time in life. I would call that gentle advice.

    Did I say the workplace is the only place you can go to meet people? Obviously I did not. You put words in my mouth, inappropriately. But in your original post you seem to say that you don't want any sort of personal relationship at work. My point is that that is bad for your work/career/life.

    Work imposes some level of relationships on you. Right? My point is that interpersonal relationships at work matter to your work/career/life.

    I think you could benefit greatly from some counseling. It might help you to recognize unhealthy vs. healthy thought patterns.

    Best wishes, my friend.

  • There is nothing wrong with people being social at work. Strong personal relationships mean strong work relationships. And introverts need to understand that relationships matter. I say this as an introvert.

    Don't just be a robot at work. Recognize the need for good working relationships and that some level of personal interaction, and even friendship is OK at work. Today they need help, tomorrow you will need help.

    To your point, I am very bad at that and work from home has really improved my productivity. See if you can wfh more. Also, sometimes you need to politely explain that you have to get something done to meet a deadline or meet priorities or whatever your situation is.

  • I agree, that was good.

    My major takeaway is that neutral networks, and AI in general, are mostly pattern recognition with a little bias and weighting thrown in to improve accuracy.

    And that is why I question all the supposedly amazing things people seem to think it will do and many of the applications of AI.

  • You need to check out the degoogle magazine. On mobile, can someone link to it?

  • I have this problem with a LOT of products: Dry shampoo, beard butter, bars of soap, liquid soap, etc. I will probably be OK with a little scent on things but it is almost always actually an overwhelming amount of scent. So I will go out of my way now to get unscented things like this. Often this means I have to find it on the internet because they don't sell the unscented stuff in stores.

    Sometimes I want to smell better and that's why I have cologne. I'd like to choose my scent and not wear many scents at once.

  • The trick that I've used also works for OCD: Say it to yourself. "The door is locked."

    Works pretty well.
