Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason?

Mindset / traits
-Experimental mindset - why not try it out. (Doesn't look for reasons not to try it out).
-Likes computers/ maths intrinsically (a bit), rather than just uses them.
-Ruined some toys / electronics / appliances in their house because "If it ain't broke, fix it until it is". or just, " Well it has screws, so it's obviously supposed to come apart".
-Prepared to accept that free or cheaper stuff might be adequate. (price is not necessarily a signal of quality)
-Less afflicted by sunk cost - "I already kow how to use windows, or at leady i would if they didnt keep changing stuff".
-They think Excel is shit for anything but a few basic small tables and know they should be using a proper database and/or code rather than insane fornulae and the odd bit or garbled vba vs the "I am a master of excel, and i love it because , look, i can coerce it to do all this cool stuff , excel can do EVERYTHING if you're as good at it as me. Nobody needs anything else to do anything. "
-Seen enough BSOD that they've got nothing left to lose.
As for change: Number 1 is India by miles, so keep India growing I guess. So outwith India . . .
I don't know how many of these are intrinsic vs malleable. I don't think linux desktop (as per current mainstream linux distros) will ever be very widespread. Unless it is packaged into something very sanitised like chrome os, android, steam deck os. or like macos did with BSD.
Create a few enthusiasts maybe by give kids more toys like cheap knock-off lego, and real tools, less pokemon apps. Raspberry pi might be a gateway drug - shame its moved up the price scale. piZeroW2 is still pretty cheap and runs a more or less usable debian/LXDE - for basic stuff. Better to be using GPIO to do fun stuff with motors, gears, pulleys, sensors, solenoids even just blinkys.
Per the last two, that's mostly up to MS to help. You can get some milage taking someones excel that theyre proud of, cut the calculation time in half within excel (to prove you know what you're talking about), then tell them excel is shit, this still too slow/inefficient/unmaintainable/unscaleable , there are better ways. PSA - A lot of people will react badly to that method, so learn a few basic self defense blocks first or do that stuff over videoconference. I think this needs to be developed into a more sensitive implementation of the D.E.N.N.I.S system. Maybe that is what bill gates already did to 1 million corporate procurement teams?
Scarred by abuse, but resolved to escape instead of developing Stockholm syndrome.
"technology is cyclical."
Makes me wonder how 'real' roman gladiators were.
Valium Valeum Vallium Valyum ... aha , Diazepam! Only the generics are available here.
Yes. For sorcerors lair, Xbox360 and PS4 were similar, whereas Steam has slight but important differences. I can't remeber whether they were releeased as "zen" or "fx3", it's a while since I've played the console ones. I guess maybe they've updated the console versions and it's just a change that's happened over time.
On steam I'm pretty sure i'm playing this: https://store.steampowered.com/app/442120/Pinball_FX3/
On the consoles the gargoyle ball lock gives 15 seconds ball save , this gives great option to prolong a ball - and forces you into multiballs that you don't really want, but adds variety. You need ball save because you have to be a lot more precise to hit each of the three discs to activate the sub-games, which are needed before you can reach midnight madness and actually score meaningful points.
The strategy in Steam version seems to be is much simpler, hit 3 discs (far less precision needed), get subgames, get midnight madness. Making the whole game a bit less engaging, I've not found any real benefit in going for most of the rest of the table. Maybe multiramp combo for extraball occasionally..
It's still pretty fun, I do still play it a bit, but on console I just found it a lot better; all for a few minor tweaks in a couple of mechanics.
Hah, and they're using it to play sorcerors lair . . .
Unfortunately the steam version is lame compared to the console versions that had more diverse strategies and were more fun.
I'm not sure what a chicken would look like with a tail like that though.
You can try the android netflix app via Waydroid(with widevine).
Maybe not as resilient/convenient/stable as a browser, but i think you can set up waydroid app as a single icon.
Of course then you're just swapping MS for gooogle.
Like Exodus 21:20-21?
Windows: I refuse to shut down because of a, b , c
Me: But I already clos. . .
Windows: No you didnt't, stop lying!
Me : Well, I pressed the X and the window dissappeared.
Windows: Lol, noob. Did you never even heard of a task managers?
Sounds impressive in theory, but I've actually seen it; it's this weird guy from the '80s singing about quitting cigarettes or something.
Does not live up to the hype.
Most money is not really created by central banks. It's created by private banks when they make loans. They literally add a number to their assets, and to the borrowers liabilities - and the borrower can now go spend that new money.
Central banks are supposed to try to regulate bank lending to try to stop the pyramid spiining out of control.
Governments also take out loans though (by selling bills, gilts, bonds) - so they are also involved in money creation process, that money typically goes to pay public services and public servants.
But the majority of money creation is typically private loans - and much of that goes ino property price bubbles , which does indeed benefit the rich.
It says it right in her title, "Dr". Sounds like an open and shut case - pro-vaxer, poisoning and gayifying american children with 5G microchips, and very probably cutting men's dicks off so they can go into the women's toilet to rape people.
Downvoted. For betrayal of dog commmunity.
My upstairs neighbour a few years ago had a similar thing going down into our back garden. She called it the catwalk.
If such an awful thing ever happpened to me in my personal life I'd change my needs.
In work of course I'm fucked, by stupidity rather than needs of course, but at least that's only for 37.5 hours a week.
Tariffs don't "work" or "not work" it's not a binary outcome. Just as measuring "the economy" is pretty much impossible, so is attributing economic outcomes to one single feature of the regulatory environment, They interact with the rest of the economic environment and some variety or work, production, trade, investment and distribution will occur. Over time all aspects of the system will change, adapt and react. Most changes have winners and losers and they can be counted or balanced off differently.
It it were paired with bank regulation and asset ownership regulation and a coherent industrial strategy, maybe also forex controls, maybe some counter cyclical macroeconomic policy (extremely unpopular these days) the outcomes would likely be quite different from a low regulation free for "all". "All" is probably "a few with relatively unconstrained access to enough capital or credit to hoover up assets of the losers".
But then a smaller subset of those things might also change the outcomes on their own. Either way it would be a matter of time and adaptation of a complex system.
It also depends what you think the objective is before you understand "success" or "failure", the goals might well be social as much as economic. If the objective is trash the small scale asset ownig middle classes and enrich the elites economically then it might be working already.
I mostly only go by bus or train for a few days here or there. That still feels like imposing a burden unless I camp, which I normally only do in the summer.
Many of the local places I go to have the same problems though, seasonally overran with tourists, all homes converted to airb+b , crowds out the local economy and drive out the local people (to the benefit of the local landowners). Ideally there'd be limits on what fraction of housing can be used as short term.
But I think generally regulation of land use and property rental prices could be beneficial - another unpopular opinion. "Oh no, we can't trust the oiks not to appoint despotic regulators, nor can we hold them to account, so it's much better have a elite landowning upper class instread".
Interesting thanks. Not all that surprising though.
