I’ll try to explain my thought process. Due to modern medicine and other aspects driving down mortality, human evolution isn’t really based on survivability (I assume it’s more based on attractiveness currently?). If we assume that people who have less sensitive eyes would have the same survival rate, would people still evolve to have more sensitive eyes?

If you are tight on cash, a dehumidifier might do a decent job at lessening the damage for a couple of years.

I mean they are currently trying to subjugate Ukraine at the moment and blocking Internet access to the rest of the world

I’ve been looking at getting a no gui terminal device to use on public transit and such to avoid doom scrolling while still being able to read/write blogs and perhaps to some light programming. This is the first product that seems to be in a good price bracket for what purpose as well.

There are many types of theories, but they rarely are literally “no organized public sector”. Generally you can more think of it as your municipality being more or less completely sovereign and independent.

Printing to console is often only used for toy code anyway.

Electricity and water. Those actually have a real cost to provide, unlike software

Laptops for consumers have never been good, the reason thinkpads are reliable are because they are sold to businesses (with extensive service warranties)

I use mine as a low power server. Whenever I feel like tinkering with a website or something, I can just ssh into it without thinking about electricity usage. Jellyfin and such is also a good usecase

Oh yeah, it’s on a table, not the floor

Imagine you have a database, you decide to add something to it and now you have to solve 5000 sudokus. Also you can’t remove anything as well. Have fun

Rent, but I can’t afford to save up towards my down payment because I have to spend it on rent

I know some clients show that, but the culture here is generally quite against the concept. Tends to lead to people being scared of going against the majority and creates a hive mind mentality to keep karma high.

My local government news. Call me a sheep but since they don’t farm clicks they seem to have the most nuanced and engaging stories. For-profit news these days are just doom-posting and rage bait.
