Pros and cons of breadbox? Any paladins out there willing to enlighten us?

And A-women too 😁

Thank you for your service. I mean it.

Nothing personal, I try to correct this view everywhere I see it.

Y2K didn’t happen because a lot of talented engineers worked their asses off to prevent it from happening. It is the bane of IT people everywhere that the working state of the systems they create and maintain is being taken for granted by the public, with barely a thought givem to those who fight bugs, spam, cyber attacks and pure entropy every day. It is in fact a minor miracle of engineering that we’re even having this conversation.

Now I want an “Yo momma is a singleton” t-shirt 😂

Inside of you there are two wolves. One looks like a fox with owl makeup and the other like a puck-nosed shepherd dog with strabism.

Reminds me of an oldie dirty joke: a bastard is a guy who pokes her all night with a 2 inch penis and then kisses her goodbye with a 5 inch tongue.

That’s… surprisingly accurate. Every time he sees her, that’s a new instance of the abstract Wife in his head, which is different from the previous instance in small, but interesting ways.

For instance, current_wife.HasFood() returns true.

Which fucker moved the garlic rope and opened the coffin of Nazi eugenics theory?

Not to mention that the “more and better teachers” mantra should be applied all the way down to primary education.

Unfortunately our societies prioritise these things differently.

I’m not excluding hiring good teachers and TAs from the picture. I’m not excluding paying them a good enough wage to attract talent either. But that’s another conversation.

In my university days lectures were paired with seminars. And those had a max size of about 30, and a TA who would explain and help apply the lecture knowledge. The lecturer would visit seminars on rotation and ensure the quality of TAs. And the kicker? The whole gang would be there for the (free form) exam, including the grading.

In short: it can be done because that’s where we come from, actually.

And personally I hate multi choice tests, there is no opportunity to see the thought process of the student, or find and be lenient towards those that got the theory, but forgot to carry a 1 somewhere. They simplified the grading, sure, now you can have a machine do it, but thats about it.

Here’s a novel idea, maybe it needs less students per teacher. Or more teachers per student, however you want to call it.

Hint: only one of these comes with a so-called golden handshake.

Lots of dynamic DNS providers allow you to register a aubdomain and update the IP it points to with an API call. You can use something like this tool for it: https://github.com/lopsided98/dnsupdate - just run it on a schedule on the same machine and you’re golden.

There are also Docker container based solutions if you’d rather go that route. Once you have a stable entry point, you can decide what to do with it.

I would personally get a Raspberry Pi and run Wireguard and Dnsupdater on it, use port forwarding in the router for Wireguard and close down everything else. Then share the Wireguard connection details with your friends and family. You can even set it up so that Wireguard connections are only granted access to your Jellyfin server, plenty of tutorials out there on how to configure firewall rules on the Wireguard machine.

I don’t disagree with you in principle. But in practice, at 145%, I don’t see how this wouldn’t turn into an extremely disruptive event for the importing company.

Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that the profit margin on Chinese product A is 150%. Even if, in theory, the whole tariff can be supported by the company, that would be very unlikely to happen, as the YOY results would kill its numbers, leading to lower guidance, falling share prices etc. The more likely scenario is that at least a part of that will be passed on downstream and will eventually lead to higher prices for the consumer.

There are probably US importers out there that got used to making like bandits on cheap Chinese imports topped off with huge profit margins, but how big would those have to be for the company to be able to absorb the impact? 300%? 500%? And even if they’re able, the temptation of passing some of the cost downstream is going to be there. After all, they have the perfect excuse.

As for the Chinese e-commerce giants (AliBaba, Temu etc.) , they don’t even bother, the full tariff costs are applied to the purchase for every US order. So let’s not include those.

Now, I can see you have an above average understanding of economy. Do you disagree with the above? I have been arguing your points in good faith, I hope you’ll offer me the same courtesy.

The best thing you can be while on the road is predictable. Applies to everyone in traffic too.

Huh, I was spot on with martial arts 😂

I speak three languages and I can count in ten.

Not a hard guess, to be honest, lots of people pick up numbers from popular culture (Spanish songs are big on counting, but weirdly, German ones as well). And if you study an Eastern martial art, chances are you’ll learn to count to ten in the corresponding language from your instructor.

Or I don’t know, maybe my brain is weird and I’m collecting numbers, that’s a non-zero possibility.

A 100% accurate AI would be useful. A 99.999% accurate AI is in fact useless, because of the damage that one miss might do.

It’s like the French say: Add one drop of wine in a barrel of sewage and you get sewage. Add one drop of sewage in a barrel of wine and you get sewage.

They: “I don’t even.”

You:“… lift, bro?”
