    I grew up in the US reusing containers like that and still do sometimes. It’s not a third world thing at all. I’m pretty sure it was to save money back then but it can be a eco thing too. Extended family and friends do this all the time too.

    Recycling plastic doesn’t work as well as you might have been told and it is more impactful to reuse or reduce. Glass and metal are better for recycling though.

    Based on the post you care more about superficial things than your wife’s feelings. Your friends are superficial AHs too. How much money do you all spend trying to keep up with each other?


  • Some people like the idea but to me that only makes sense if you are basically doing the nomad thing at a cheap location. You’d want to stay in the place for awhile as you’re still spending most of the “vacation” working all day. On your days off you could do more. On an actual vacation you would actually be enjoying yourself the whole time. Traveling to just spend all your time working seems like a waste.

    Also just try to work on just a laptop for a week. It sucks. I’m not doing that.


  • To me it looks like an over estimation of the capabilities for the tech. Same kind of thinking that led to lawyers submitting fake cases as support in court. The current tech can be useful but has to be verified and generally tweaked a bit to be good enough. It certainly has room for improvement in quality and just not lying. Real world use has some copyright questions with what the training data was. Applying it to something creative is questionable and more or less feels like uninspired remixes.

    Also the whole graphic is kinda suspect to me when “Blockchain engineers” is a job category and it’s produced by an org working on AI.



  • I have music or whatever it’s called now because I music and red together where the same price as just red. I still have it because I use YouTube more than streaming services like Netflix and don’t mind supporting creators I’m watching. I use some of the features of premium on the app on my phone and fire stick too which could be worked around but would be a hassle.

    For a vast majority of people who mainly view YouTube as a free service I highly doubt they’d be willing to pay $7 a month let alone $14. A large portion of their viewer base is kids and they aren’t going to pay. Maybe if they add stickers or whatever TikTok is going nuts over as part of the monthly sub.
