oh good to hear. I heard about windows doing jank stuff on update recently and was really worried I’d have to fight with it soon.
It’s been a while since I saw it, and I don’t plan on re-finding nor rewatching just to figure out what I hated at the time. I recall it was one about electricity, and there was something about claims that are fundamentally impossible within the realms of physics.
Sorry, Veritasium. And it’s been a while since I’ve watched his stuff, so I don’t remember which videos annoyed me. I know there was one that involved electricity that was just extremely wrong in a few key ways.
You should probably note what they focus on so people know.
“Through the magic of heat pumps…”
I’ve seen him double down on being very wrong more than once. I find it hard to take him seriously knowing how very wrong he can be without wavering conviction.
If he’s wrong when talking about the topics I do know about, what should I assume about his knowledge of topics I’m less familiar on?
Switched to Mint recently. So far it’s been smoother than I expected, but still had some crazy rough patches. Luckily, helping me through this junk seems to be one of the things AI excels at. I’m set up mostly how I want to be and it’s been mostly working well enough so far. Mostly.
Unfortunately I don’t see that happening without a major US war and major election reform. Otherwise they have like half-ish of the population at least semi-supporting them, and half the population is not likely to peacefully get labelled “terrorist”.
I’m in the US. A lot of older political cartoons look something like this:
Subtlety in political comics? Man old political comics had to label nearly everything.
You get to enjoy two kinds at once. Don’t let them breed into more depression offshoots.
I mean, if you were intending it as a joke your phrasing works just as well.
It’s not about the coffee specifically, it’s about all the pleasantries. Sure walks are nice and stargazing is lovely. And yeah, those things are great with friends and partners! But you know what else is a nice little treat? Coffee. Snacks. Watching that movie together. Some lovely flowers. Slick shoes.
Some of the pleasantries that make life worth living are free, but many of them cost money. You obviously can’t have everything, but having to give up on literally every pleasantry that costs money (even the cheapest of ones) just to afford enough to live what used to be a normal middle class life is definitely not something that should be treated as normal. There’s a clear trend of sinking purchasing power for the masses and, with it, sinking morale.
