I have a single alarm set. I came to this after years of pointless snoozing.

If you need to get up at a certain time, get up at that time. If you don’t need to get up at a certain time, just turn off the alarm. Snooze is bullshit, fuck snooze. You gain nothing from snooze. If you really must lay around half conscious in bed, just set an alarm like an hour before the real alarm. I just don’t understand the multiple alarm people. Do you really gain all that much from turning off your alarm 6 times before you actually get up versus an entire hour to chill before the actual alarm?

I hate the sound of the alarm and I absolutely don’t want to hear it, or lay there anticipating it. One annoying ring of the alarm is all it takes, more annoying rings just make a shittier start to the day IMO.

We did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese.

How in the ever loving fuck was Hirohito allowed to stay in power then?

Once you start viewing politics under the same lens as a professional wrestling match it begins to make a lot more sense. Faces and heels switch up every once in awhile to keep us entertained.

They keep getting burned by centralized social media and are poised to do so again with bluesky.

Settings > playback > radio > include external media

“Consider tracks from shared servers and TiDAL”

Also if you just mean multiple libraries like switching between them, click at the top. I’ve got 4 of my own and 1 from a friend here.

Plexamp does a pretty good job with the radio features, granted you will have to torrent stuff you’re not necessarily familiar with first. If you have a few friends who also share their music libraries with you it can really help by including their tracks in your radios.

I got my daughter to memorize 50 digits of pi when she was 11 or 12 by betting her $50 she couldn’t.

Poop has been used historically as a building material (eg wattle and daub) and is fine for load bearing applications provided you do the math.

AI can’t make a good hook or a catchy tune

Good luck keeping this out of your head:

The best part about AI is people are shooting themselves in the foot using it at school, where you’re supposed to learn things, and it will make the rest of us not nearly as dependent on a LLM rise to the top. I truly do not understanding cheating in college. If you’re not learning, what’s the fucking point? How well are you going to perform without access to that LLM? Good grades are not the point of college.

I think it’s cringe as propaganda, sure. I’m just saying financially, the expenditure is not bothering me. Pilots need hours and they do routine shit all the time. I don’t see this as significantly different. I don’t see that this needs to be singled out, personally. You’re free to disagree. Neither one of us is changing anything regardless of opinion.

Yes, hours are hours and fighter pilots and all the support staff involved need them too. When I was in the military the helicopter pilots would fly down to Florida and get lunch. They needed the hours and were going to by flying anyways.

I used to record VHS tapes of Spice channel and sell them to friends, my uncle had a descrambler. Glad to have experienced those heady days of analog piracy.

There’s no technical reason to think we will in the next ~20-50 years, either.

They used to.

A cursory search shows rail in rural areas is $2 million per mile and a highway is $4-10 million per mile.

Not in the constitution. That was a Supreme Court judgement (Roe v Wade) that was overturned.

This is what I’ve been saying for years. You don’t need to listen to someone’s microphone to serve eerily relevant ads. I’ve heard people commonly discussing how they talked about something and saw an ad for it later. You’re already being tracked everywhere and a bit of confirmation bias is all you need to focus in on the times it works. It’s like that story of the prenatal vitamins being recommended to that woman who didn’t realize she’s pregnant.

This isn’t to say that I don’t believe someone can’t possibly turn on the mic in a targeted attack, but few of us are having conversations that are that important. It’s way easier to target you other ways using data that’s much more available.

I believe those with more resources have more options to resist; this has always been the case. However, they don’t have all of the means.

I don’t think doomerism like this does anything but demoralize. It’s better than them going along with the bullshit. It’s gotta start somewhere, and it’s going to start with those who have the resources to resist.
