I hear you. The best I can do is tell myself that hopefully the Coast Guard personnel and other mariners got some practice/training which will be useful in emergencies in the future. And it's still right to try and save someone, even if they put themselves in the dangerous situation.

Wow, I love slsk and have been using it since literally about 2004 (it has absolutely defined my taste in music), but I didn't know there were any options for clients except for the main one. This is great!

If you're reading this and you've never checked out slsk, consider this your invitation. I have spent hours trying to "stump" it by searching for increasingly-obscure music. Someone always has it on slsk.

EDIT: HOLY JESUS HALLELUJAH IT HAS DARK MODE

How do we prove we're not robots? Fucking select the picture with traffic lights or buses, right? How was this allowed.

I used to work at a liquor store and we had one regular customer who paid with a bitcoin card. This was around 2015 or so. It was funny because he said it was because of "anonymity" but everyone knew him as "the guy who pays with bitcoin."

No, and I also seriously question people's obsession with gold.

Hey. Biplanes are actually much more relevant in today's world than crypto. They aren't common, but there are still new biplanes made because they are a valid solution for certain problems. Unlike blockchain.

When 3rd party apps are blocked on July 1st, Reddit is no longer going to support accessibility features that blind mods and users need. Reddit's owners don't seem to have considered how much work it's going to be to provide said features "in-house."

For real, as an American I'm super grateful.

there are very few people who would prioritize a replaceable battery over other features.

I gotta gently push back against this. You may not know them personally, but there are a LOT of people who have gone back to dumbphones over this. IMO, this is a large part of why dumbphone sales are catching up on smartphone sales for the first time in years. I even know some elderly folks who stopped using cell phones entirely when smartphones stopped having replaceable batteries (easier to going back to having a landline when one is retired/not raising kids, of course).

There are very few people who buy the currently existing smartphones who would prioritize this feature, yes -- because anyone who does prioritize this feature has been excluded from the entire smartphone market for several years now.

Yeah I'm not aware of any studies that link stimulant-based ADHD medication with abuse of street meth. But it's a pretty common meme amongst doctors for some reason.

You use terminal because you know what you are doing.

I use terminal because I want to feel like a hacker in a 90's movie.

We are not the same.

Make sure you play up that it failed, though.

From experience, if you interview for jobs as a successful freelancer, it may not go so well because they think you don't "need" the money.
