Don’t ignore the older wisdom traditions on this question, too. There won’t be a jolting answer in this thread, you may have to work over time for breakthroughs.

If you ever have the chance to see a Warhol retrospective in a museum, I highly recommend it.

I care especially about a wine that has some form and doesn’t leave me with a headache the next day.

I was at a retreat once and we had a dream session. There was little talk about what dreams are, how they function, etc.., but we shared our dreams in the group because the thing we would convey would be something that only we could convey. No one else could share our dreams, or the nuances, or the meanings, or whatever. I think of this every time someone in my family shares/describes their dreams.

My teenage son asked me the other day what "grunge" and "goth" were. I was then trying to explain "subculture" and "counterculture", and it was surprisingly difficult to explain.. or convey, especially in the context of what he's seen so far in his life.

I tried using examples of my own youthful adventures and communities -- still not easy.

Yeah, the screen looks the same, I think the Utah dairy had a newer model.

They also mentioned that there were only 3 dairy farms in the state with any kind of automated milking machines.

I visited a dairy in Utah a couple of summers ago. 130 cows, 3 employees.

It's a fully automated facility, using equipment from Germany. The cows enter a stall, the machine milks them, gives them a treat, they move on. Employees get a text if a cow hasn't milked itself in a while... usually a tap on their shoulder is enough to get them to walk over to the machine.

Even yet, the person giving the tour said they don't make enough money selling the milk to sustain the operation. They also make high-end cheeses on-prem, and that's what keeps them in the black.

Youtube pays out to creators.

I disabled my Twitter account tonight.

I’m pretty sure my HN account will be next. I’m not going to solve this, but I won’t drown in it either.

Personally, I don’t mind an ad or two. It’s not ads, per se, that have me using an ad blocker... it’s the “bad UI impact of tons of ads and pop-ups” that keep me in ad block mode. When a site wants me to turn off the ad blocker and it doesn’t look insane, I’m happy to comply. Same with DDG.
