And over twice the GDP.

“Wow you signed the document in blood, you must be really hardcore.”

“No I’m just cheap.”

That’s…pretty believable.

No judgement here, you just keep doing what makes you happy.

While neat, this is not self-sustaining — it’s taking more energy to power it than you’re getting out of it. (You can build a fusion device on your garage if you’re so inclined, though obviously this is much neater than that!)

One viewpoint is that we’ll never get clean energy from these devices, not because they won’t work, but because you get a lot of neutrons out of these devices. And what do we do with neutrons? We either bash them into lead and heat stuff up (boring and not a lot of energy), or we use them to breed fissile material, which is a lot more energetically favorable. So basically, the economically sound thing to do is to use your fusion reactor to power your relatively conventional fission reactor. Which is still way better than fossil fuels IMHO, so that’s something.

If you exclude blocked instances, you’re a lot higher than #5…

My home town is in bald eagles’ historic habitat, but there were never any growing up. In the past decade or so, they’ve started to reclaim it, which is pretty cool.

Yeah, we’re destroying the planet, but we are doing some things right. And this sort of good stuff only happens because we fight for it.

The amount of money you save (and invest) isn’t accurately depicted with this though. Living expenses don’t necessarily grow with take home, if you keep lifestyle creep to a minimum.

So what this means is that if you make $100k and save $10k/year, if you start making $200k you can save the same $10k/year, plus the entire additional $100k after taxes (let’s just say that’s $50k+). So you doubled your salary but your savings went up 6x+.

Not sure why you’re saying Python forces everything to be object oriented…?

“Chain migration” is how many people — myself included — get jobs.

I went to a very good school, and while I like to think the quality of education is what makes a school “good,” let’s be honest — the value is largely in your connections. Friend lands a good job, recommends you when there’s an opening, and bam, you’re already at the top of the pile of the CVs (better yet, they’re the hiring manager).

Friends from school — peers and mentors alike — are a great place to start, if you can. Ask to grab a coffee and chat about their career, and be clear that you’re in the market. Most people are happy to chat (at the very least, it’s flattering).

It’s the way the world works…

My hunch is that this is not restricted to TikTok…

I particularly like the truck/engine correction.

Costco focus on quality over quantity

…which sounds hilarious, given it’s Costco! But I agree, at least in their stores (as in, they don’t necessarily offer a huge variety of any particular items, but the one they have is — for my money — usually good quality).

One thing to keep in mind — the US is huge, both geographically and culturally. Flying from Los Angeles to Boston is further than London to Baghdad.

And likewise, the cultural “distance” between, say, New England or the Pacific Northwest and the deep south is extreme.

Of course there are things that affect (nearly) all Americans, but some context is important.

But this applies to the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and…well…much of the world, if these data are to be trusted.

But “included” doesn’t mean free. You still paid for it.

Baking is chemistry, cooking is jazz.

I’m curious how the battery percentage went up

Physicists hate this one weird trick…

Exactly. And it includeded a 500GB m2 (SATA, not NVME, but still), with a spare m2 slot available. As opposed to an SD slot + USB port…

Dual gigabit NICs and importantly can be configured to boot after power loss (which the pi of course also does).

And Intel QuickSync may not be perfect but it is well supported with mainline kernels.

Only drawback is that it draws a few extra watts compared to the Pi.
