Is it a HUD or just a spy tool?

I gotta wear glasses anyways so it’d be cool if I can get like a pathing over lay with maps and maybe customizable notifications.

But video calling and just taking poorly framed pictures isn’t interesting.

If you haven’t seen The Last Kingdom I heavily recommend it.

I like your vague language. It really conveys the sense of mystery and intrigue you’re going for.

So Khazars are a real active modern faction? Is it like Kabal practicing Gentile Converts?

Khazar is an interesting new identity to me.

Cursory google search says it was a trade empire that lasted 200 years and converted to Judaism.

Off topic to the rest of the post, but I’m now deeply curious what a modern day Khazar is and what it means to you. Please enlighten me!

I made this document a while back for new gun owners with the absolute basics.

Yeah that’s covered in the book and podcast.

Not in crazy detail but it is there already within academia.

The idea is that whatever hyper dense state of energy caused our big bang has caused others.

I’m just a tech guy so I can’t explain it with justice, but I heavily recommend at least scrubbing that podcast for when they talk about almost exactly what you described!

Damn it! Another book for the list!

I have a book on my to read list that delves into all the ideas about the “big bang” and how a lot of scientists are convinced that there were are and will be more “big bangs”

It’s called “Battle of the Big Bangs”

I learned it from Alex O’Connor’s “Within Reason” podcast episode 115

I’m a Linus shill, but I’m also a Craft Computing, LevelOneTechs, and Jeff Geerling shill.

I always tell the interviewer what they want to hear. Its very obviously a game of correct answers.

I lie on my resume too, but not in ways I can’t back up.

For instance, I imply I have a degree because I did go to college for 4 consecutive years for a multitude of degrees. So I have different resumes with different majors depending on what job I’m applying to. I mostly use my CS/Engineering degree now-a-days. I’m able to talk the talk enough that they’ve never checked or asked for a transcript.

But it sounds more like your job wanted to, on paper, be compliant with workers rights stuff

“We offer a break at X and Y hours.”

But had a cultural expectation to not follow it. Which is dumb and they can, in my humble opinion, get fucked. Nursing has a massive burnout rate and shit like that is why.

I think you should recognize you dodged a bullet more than you should think about “lying” in an interview.

You didn’t ghost her first of all. Inadvertently or otherwise.

This is a pretty easy way to gauge someone’s interest by just seeing if they ever message you first.

Really you should just take this as a sign to move on and work on relationships that are two sided. Ones where the other person texts first.

Sorry its happened to you, but its always better now then after you’ve invested a serious amount of time and emotional energy into a relationship.

I got my Vasectomy at 26. I wanted it sooner, but insurance sucks.

I believe firmly that regret is something you make yourself feel or are made to feel. So your family members don’t regret having kids because they haven’t been made to regret that decision.

I haven’t told my family about my snip because I think they would have tried to make me regret it.

That makes sense to me because they want that constant reassurance that their decision was correct. So someone NOT making that decision means it may not have been correct.

If you wanna talk about it more, I’d happily chat with you and be the support you’re not getting.

I like a very small amount of RGB.

I didn’t always, I wanted full no color, but the ONLY GPU I could find had just a smidge of RGB in the logo (MSI something 5060 ti) and I like it as a highlight.

I am personally a huge fan of taking advantage of wealthy people.

You don’t really have iPhone 16 pro Max and Air pods money to throw away like this without having a one sided relationship with labor, in my opinion.

But that’s my cynical leftist view.

I imagine the biggest reason to not keep it is fear of your son getting spoiled or demanding gifts from you that are this same caliber.

However, he is 16. Certainly not the most rational age for many people, but he can understand the difference in financial statuses between you and his friend.

I think it would be distressing for you to take away this expensive thing on the grounds of “we’re too poor to have nice things” especially since it was a gift from his best friend. But having that discussion of “hey don’t let that get to your head. I still love you I just could not afford such an expensive gift. Here’s a vague breakdown of our expenses”

My dad had a similar discussion with me when I was getting ready to go to college the first time and he flat out told me how much he and mom made and broke down where the money goes. It really helped me understand our economic position instead of just assuming my parents made a good amount of money (they didn’t)

I’m a fan generally of LLMs for work, but only if you’re already an expert or well versed at all in whatever you’re doing with the model because it isn’t trust worthy.

If you’re using a model to code you better already know how that language works and how to debug it because the AI will just lie.

If you need it to make an SOP then you better already have an idea for what that operation looks like because it will just lie.

It speeds up the work process by instantly doing the tedious parts of jobs, but it’s worthless if you can’t verify the accuracy. And I’m worried people don’t care about the accuracy.

Personally I’m a huge fan of the Alcoholics Anonymous understanding of “god” and I think it applies more widely.

In AA it is supposed to be A-religious so as to accommodate as many people as possible. To them, god is whatever higher power you need to put your faith into to do better. An entity who you are striving to make proud or you are asking for guidance or help, etc.

This genericized god idea kinda gives up the game to me as an atheist, but it doesn’t mean it’s bad. In fact it’s made me believe in god as an idea.

There are plenty of studies on “manifesting” goals and how saying out loud to yourself or to someone at all substantially increases your chance of succeeding in your goal. This is just prayer or a magic spell or whatever else you wanna call it. I call it a ritual.

The fact that god is a made up idea has been uncontested in my mind for eons, however the psychological power of a belief in god is new to me and makes me appreciate the systems of religion more (doesn’t excuse a lot of their bullshit).

That feels cursed as a fandom dot com wiki

That was a tech demo I’m pretty sure and not just a thing they do btw. A company was trying to make a more efficient sound based comms for AI(?)

Online book clubs are kind of a thing.

Welcome to Lemmy, just find a community and start chatting. If it’s dead/empty, start filling it.

I try to open myself up to people as best I can here and on Mastodon just because we’re pretty used to the algorithm TM deciding who we talk to or where we engage for a long time now and I don’t think we are collectively ready to have non-hostile “discussions” in that we just don’t know how to do it.

What’s been on your mind? If you don’t wanna share here try the casual conversations community. They might be better to receive you.

I took 5 years to consecutively not get a degree and I’m about to go back to finish 5 years later.

Yeah it sticks not graduating with the people you started with, but that really isn’t any more of a signifier of success or failure than graduating at all.

Sometimes things happen and at that point everyone is mature enough to but be a dick.
