lime!

what about insurance and healthcare?

us software salaries are insanely high compared to the rest of the world, because the cost of living in SV is insanely high.

with a €60k a year salary i’m in the 90th percentile of earners in my country and it took me about two years to have enough to finance my own three-bedroom apartment on one income.

what nooo

logs that fall off of trucks don’t behave that way in real life so that’s still a ticket

the question in the book is 6×9, because of course it is

one i think

they’re really bad with numbers

as a kid i had a phone card. they were introduced the year i was born and by the time i was eight, the payphones no longer took cash.

turns out, when living out in the country there aren’t that many payphones either. i could call home from school, which was a few towns over from where i lived, or from the bus terminal which was in yet another town even further away. it was a strange time, but we made it work for like seven years.

DRUM SOLO!!!

Frontier: Elite 2 and Frontier: First Encounters still has the best planetary scale of any sci-fi space ship sim with interplanetary travel. Flight of Nova does it better but that’s only one planet. Frontier has like four billion.

battlefield 6 does this, among others

lol

nostr has a pretty bad reputation due to the nature of the protocol’s inception and the people involved. any time that specific network is brought up, the discussion pivots.

this was discussed elsewhere. nostr is tightly coupled to lightning.

well in this case it was made clear they were mistaken about the whole thing and therefore the passive-aggressive tone they were using was completely unwarranted.

hell yeah

better than not reading at all, apparently
