I don’t think renewable excludes it from being limited.

Yeah I was lucky to get to grow up, visit and live in other countries so I have a decent idea of what to expect, and I’d tend to agree with you. When you’re old on your death bed you won’t be thinking about how you made some great quarterly results for faceless shareholders or how rich your country was or whatever, but you’ll sure as hell be wondering if you enjoyed life as much as you could and gave enough attention to your loved ones. Maybe places where material wealth isn’t as important can help with that but who knows…

It’s the reason I’m still hesitant of emigrating there with my family (Canadian wife). Even though we’d be going to Quebec which is the “least American” part, it’s still a bit too close for comfort for me… I worked for American companies for a long time and fuck that lifestyle. What I’d really like is going to a “slower” country where the rat race takes a back seat and people just enjoy life more, but that usually also means abandoning a lot of benefits and links to modern life and our entourages so the missus is not so hot about it. Meanwhile we live in one of the most advanced countries on earth (Netherlands) so it’s also really hard to justify moving when we have it so great here in terms of infrastructure, administration, career prospects etc etc etc. Very few countries offer a better deal.

It made slightly more sense back in the days, when each update also used to bring significant changes to the game engine, graphics, etc etc. But these days those changes are so incremental they’re barely noticeable, so simple yearly updates and a full refresh maybe every 4/5 years would be fine, but they figured out people don’t mind paying an AAA price tag every single year so why stop.

Look at us, we are the 1% now.

You’re like me you just don’t like user-based sites, I simply much prefer to follow topics than people, I fucking hate people why would I follow them online.

Little bit column A, little bit column B.

Isn’t that just because RL went free to play?

The restaurant was literally following health and safety rules in place in Canada, by not offering undercooked burgers from pre-ground beef. The customer wants it anyway, so in comes the waiver. Tbh my perspective is they shouldn’t have accepted if it goes against health code, waiver or not.

I’ve seen “Lemmies”, I’ve also seen “sublemmies” which brings “subs” back on the table imo. Alternatives are /c/s, commus, com’s, etc.

What I meant is the stuff they want to geologically bury are the very radioactive parts that are 0.2% of the volume but 95%+ of the radioactivity, that’s all.

For sure I understand it’s more tricky than just going out in the woods making a big pit and calling it a day (though the image I had in my mind was pretty close to that if I’m being honest). Just feels like there’s plenty of space far enough from anyone’s backyard but you make a good point about having to then supply that site.

Made me question where France was putting theirs and it’s in l’Aube, rural area but definitely not empty by any means. Except for the real nasty stuff that’s being temporarily kept by the producers on-site until they apparently plan to bury them in a deep geological argile formation (projet cigéo).

NIMBY for waste storage? You’d expect Canada to be one of the countries where that’s the least of the issues, what with having infinite land in the north.

Really cheap bikes is the Dutch way, you buy it for 20€ from your local bike thief and when it gets stolen you get another one. It’s a circular economy really.

It’s even becoming an over the table tactic. For example you can use software like Fusion360 or unreal engine completely free until your business is over a certain revenue threshold.

All I want is the Xbox adaptation so I can do the grinding/leveling from the couch and only go to the PC for raids. I think with my current lifestyle (work work work, family family family), that’s the only way I could realistically play again.

Goed zo.

Gottem.

Hehe, reminds me of a similar joke in French, “B-M-double-pieds” (B-M-double-feet, for BMW).

Unfortunately a story as old as Wall Street. CEOs designed and hired to kill companies are a thing.

This whole trend of banning things that “can” be used to make any illegal activities is ridiculous.

Ban cars, they can be used to commit crimes. Hell ban bikes as well. Gloves, sunglasses and hoodies next. Basically just ban everything until we’re all just chained to a desk wearing a toga and grinding away for our overlords on PCs that can only run the one company app.

If you’re “underwater” (your mortgage is higher than the value of the house) then yeah you’re stuck unless you want to pay off that difference. That happened to friends of mine after 2008. If you own the house outright then yeah it matters less.

There is a change which is that you can’t move anymore, better hope you chose that house really well and never need to move ever again (which is extremely unlikely for us and I would think for most people). Not to mention the sheer insanity to be paying monthly for another 25 years for something with no value.

Renter protection is very strong in the Netherlands, probably one of the strongest in the world.

Used to be that squatter rights were also very strong but I believe that has reduced now.

So I’m a big fan of reducing landlords (especially big corporate ones), but aren’t you worried about what happens to all the people that bought a house to live in with your plan? If my house halved in value I’d be well fucked, the house losing value won’t make my mortgage go down unfortunately.

Edit: I guess I crossed a threshold in that comment which puts me in the “landlord sympathiser camp”, which is far from the truth, I’m not too surprised about that though. Look, my preferred option is annihilation of capitalism, but just crashing the real estate market without doing anything else about the system itself would be devastating for a lot of common folks, not just through housing prices but all the other economic effects it would have.

This also works with other fields. I’m pretty sure I’ll have these confidence swings my whole life regardless how good I get at anything.

I’ve been saying that for a while, start a service where you can pay x€ per month for self-hosting your 1 to 5 users instance, that makes it easy to get it started via a few choices, and I’m sure it would be very popular.

If there are any code-masters out there that want to partner with someone that can lead the vision/sales/UX aspect of it, hit me up.

I switched recently and it was an incredibly smooth transition. I was also worried, having been on Chrome for so long, but I don’t regret switching at all.

Technically you can do all the same things with paint and a LOT of patience.

Blender is fully capable these days, have fun!

The actual Dutch government now also run their own instance.

Hello! I started using the same setup recently. It’s fantastic but sometimes obscure stuff or programs not originally in English (don’t want to call them foreign, they’re not foreign when you’re from there) don’t have any streams available.

I understand there’s a way to find magnet links yourself and add them in real-debrid. I tried that yesterday but it didn’t find any seeds (fair enough).

Let’s say it would’ve found some, how does it then work to watch it in Stremio? You just restart the app and navigate back to the program?

BTW if you haven’t, maybe try also adding the Trakt addon and managing your feed lists from there, really takes it another step up!

That’s almost everything.

It does. When you press the button it loads for a while and gets it processed on their server. Doesn’t work at all if your PC isn’t connected to the internet.

USA has truly gone mad.

Not 20% less work, 20% less time.

It’s been told that if you can decrypt what comes out the other side, you will understand the true nature of the universe.

Reminded me of this sketch with your comment about the effects of dumping your grind on a local merchant: https://youtu.be/mYsyTq8pF2g

I can dig it.

Sweet sweet justice.
