I quit my last job. I found myself thinking that the easy way out was really attractive, and I was seeing fewer and fewer downsides. Then I thought, I might as well quit, enjoy as much as I could, then take the easy way out when my account ran down to zero. Then, as it was approaching zero, I found out I could start withdrawing pension from my old job, with a heavy penalty for doing so early. Fuck it. I did that. Now I'm limping by on about $1500 a month. It's working for now, but I can imagine the end not too far away. But that eternal darkness is more attractive than dealing with the day to day bullshit of working while my country falls quickly into fascism, in addition to the normal fucked up capitalist morality and thinking.

This is what I've used for years. I guess my use case is probably different than what OP posted as I don't understand what I might gain from his plugin.

I don't see a single thing wrong with that sentence.

The article says this version sends it back out on the same power lines, either used by other trains or pushed back into the grid. Seems like a perfect job for supercapacitors, although I have no idea about the feasibility of that solution. I imagine that batteries having huge input/output cycles like that wouldn't be healthy for them. Again, pulled from my imagination because I don't really know much about battery wear/use.

He was out of town for 3 weeks the year before. He then compared to previous years and his use is way down.

I developed my own internal system of values or ethics when I was in high school. I thought it was great. Then I went to University, read Hume, Mill, et al. and realized that my thoughts were not original at all. That didn't make them less relevant, just made me a little disappointed. I spent a disillusioned year or two thinking University was just going to be giving proper names to thoughts I'd already pondered.

Is that really an issue? I just haven't seen a file name with a newline in it. If so, couldn't it just be run with -o0?

Just install a couple Magisk modules and your banking app should work fine. At least mine does.

Any complaint that starts with "used meta..." just loses me. It's like, I stuck this needle into my left testicle and now that testicle hurts.

I bought a used '14 Leaf in '16. It has been a great car with very little battery degradation. Sure, I'm not going to be taking it on any long trips, but for 90% of my driving it is great. I paid $11k for it. Best car purchase I've made in 30+ years of car ownership.

> backpacking with high school friends in the Catalina Islands

Channel Islands or Catalina Island. Something fishy there. Probably some OpenAI written article. Don't trust it. The new AI overlords are trying to manipulate us all.

Seems like a nothing opinion piece offering no new insights.

I wonder what a drone shot would give the CCP, that they wouldn't already have from satellites.

Oh no. How will I be able to "write" code or reply to an email?
