I’m smart and I’m mostly fine with my minority dying out. It’s definitely sad that in 50 years people will look at things my people created and will not understand any of it but then again, it’s a natural process. I’m sure our art will somehow influence their art and in a way it will live on.

Eating less. When making dinner I wold make half of what I usually made, for lunch I would only have small things like a salad or soup, I stopped supplementing during/after training with gels and recovery drinks, cut out desserts. Went from 68kg to 63kg in couple of months.

How did you know?

Biggus. Now guess what would I change my last name to.

I’m never sure if Castro is dead or not. I was sure for very long time that he died already but it would turn out that he’s still there. I also don’t remember any events specifically related to his death. His brother (?) took over and he kind of fizzled out before he died. Or maybe he’s still there? I’m never quite sure. I mean, it’s 2024 now, he’s definitely dead. Or is he?

(We’re talking US only, right?) Isn’t the inflation already at 3.5%? The goal is usually around 2%. If the government wants they can get it to 2% by taxing extra corporate profits but even if they don’t do it and it will stay at 3% I don’t know if it’s an ‘era of inflation’. It could still be back to ~2% in a year or two if there’s no new war in the middle east. Now, looking at what’s happening in the middle east my bet is that there will be another war, the inflation will go up again (~10%?) and we’ll be stuck in this cycle until global economy splits and isn’t affected so much by local conflicts. You can already see this happening post war in Ukraine but it will take a decade or two. So I would say 1-2 years if manage to avoid another war, 10-20 if the current trend continues.

Yeah, I had the same issue. Sometimes it was the SD card, sometimes the network interface (not your case obviously), sometimes things connected to USB, sometimes it was running hot… I gave up and now I just run everything on an older Slimbook Zero. Yes, power consumption is higher (still pretty low) but so is stability.

I use the price tags in the store. They show how much each thing costs. If it’s too expensive I don’t buy it. Make potatoes and chicken your reference point. If it’s more expensive think about a substitute. Next trick is that I think what I’m going to cook before I go to store, check what I’m missing and put it on a list. Then I buy things on that list. This helps me not to throw away food.

If you do both things and still spend $10.000 on food you’re only choice is to eat less or eat things you like less which is silly if you can afford it. Tracking each transaction is an interesting hobby but will consume your time and not help you much more than simply being concious about what you buy and not buying things you don’t need.

Definitely how fast the humans died out. I thought they will hold on for longer but nope, folded real quick. The next intelligent species was similar and only the one after that was more successful. Then again it makes sense that species that evolved on the moon will not take earth for granted.

How was the show?

I guess buying my apartment at the time I bought it. Got great mortgage rate and a good price. Fast forward 2 years, the rates are 6 times higher and prices are least 50% up. Turns out I hit a historic low.

Why not just put the movies on a SD card? The price is similar and the card is smaller. That’s what games do now, right?

Nothing. The most emotionally overwhelming thing I saw was ‘Breaking the waves’ but I just finished it.

For virtualization.

Don’t have kids, save for your retirement.

Spanish PM openly supports Palestine and said all the right things out loud. Just move there.

Hurley murley?

High five!

I think so. I read about a guy who stayed dead for couple of years for tax reasons.

(If you get the reference you’ll get a high five)
