Just one more day and it would have been gone forever.

This is not a real term, but maybe Freudian Hint?

The math here is good point to be aware of and as stated doesn’t preclude that the guy is an asshole for wanting to put even a small percentage of people out of work just so he can raise his assholery to tyrannical proportions. Increasing human suffering to teach people who want to have a better life a lesson. What a cartoon villain.

I hate to admit this, but I agree. My qualm isn’t with the message that we ought to work less. That’s smart. Why shouldn’t we live in a society where we can have a fulfilling lifestyle without endless soul crushing work?

My qualm is with the wording. The implication is that one should consent to work, but really work is a fundamental truth. Take away the facade of society and all we have is our struggle to survive the elements and find food, i.e. work.

I’ve avoided Microsoft for years, but recently I’ve been reducing my Google use. I’m still on Gmail, and Street View is special, but I’ve been slowly replacing Google utilization:

• Search: Duck Duck Go
• Maps: Open Street Map, OsmAnd
• Drive: Extra Hard Drives
• Chrome: Firefox
• Home: Home Assistant (WIP)

Upcoming projects include replacing my phone’s Google-built Android image and transitioning to ProtonMail.

It’s not one big project, it’s lots of projects. It’s worthwhile, though. Along the way, I’ve reconnected with my love of good tech and I’ve gained new hobbies like privacy and contributing to OSM.

OP, here’s another one! This one’s also pointing out incorrect facts about Arkansas!

Goodness, that needs to stop. I’ll concede it’s a life saving tool during natural disasters or in places where tap water is unavailable, but the rest of the time it’s a symbol of waste and ignorance. On my walks I see at least one half full bottle of water every day on the ground. Some dummy paid real money for it, then couldn’t be bothered to even dispose of it properly.

And his boots are yellow!

It would cost me at least 15 hours of free time a week in commute and at least $800 extra a month. Then there’s the physiological strain of being trapped in a car and that’s not good for my back and hips. Let’s not forget “Jane,” my obnoxious “I don’t like Trump but” conservative coworker who has loud and vocal political opinions that I can help but overhear because she sits in the undersized fluorescent lit cubicle next to mine in my dark, dusty, windowless office. No thanks. I’m much happier at home.

Ha, that made my night. Thank you kind stranger

Act Raiser?

I believe this is true. Progressivism is just one thing I like about the state. It’s also gorgeous. Big Sur, San Francisco, Yosemite, sequoias, numerous vineyards, craggy beaches, and scenery that can transition from valley to plains to desert to mountains in just a couple hours’ drive.

The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou. This is one of my favorite movies. I re-watch it every few years to gain new perspective. Where’s my red stocking cap?

Certain informative, niche communities like /r/neovim, /r/prequelmemes, and er, um /r/sex. I know there are comparable communities here, but the volume is missing. OTOH, everyone is much friendlier here. And, a smaller user base means our comments don’t get buried among thousands. Also, I’m really enjoying new-to-me communities /c/risa.

That’s a great analogy. TV dinners, while presentable at first glance, are both low effort and not that great.
