It sounds like you’ve found something that works for you, but if you’re interested in trying other things obsidian stores and renders in plain markdown, and also has a vim mode

Fwiw, kid is 19 and seems fully on board.

BAH GAWD IT’S UNIVERSES BEYOND WITH A STEEL CHAIR.

for anyone confused, the company behind magic recently pledged to have sets from all sorts of IP in all competitive formats.

Your legolas can shoot down an Optimus prime, only to be replaced by a wolverine.

Yup, I feel that. My “new” car purchase this year was a used 2015 Nissan leaf that was like 6k. It baffles me how my colleagues budget their money. A rivian?? Son, that’s the cost of a new roof.

The website suggests it does. I just remember it served me well when I needed it.

I haven’t used this in many years so I can’t vouch for the current state, but I’ve used synergy to share the same mouse and keyboard across multiple computers. I think this should enable your 4 monitor dream - 2 externals and two laptops.

You’ll also likely run into a situation where a single laptop can’t drive 4 monitors - keep that in mind.

EDIT: I don’t know why you’re targeting 3 laptops in the future, but I would heavily suggest looking at framework laptops. They’re upgradeable, modular laptops where you can buy new motherboards to upgrade. Once you do upgrade, you can actually use the old Mobo as a desktop machine.

We were using Skype… Dark days.

I’ve only read Ted Chiang’s exhalation, but one of the stories was the biggest thinker I’ve seen, and another was an emotional gut punch (in a good way)

The ratio of lasting impact to content length of his short stories is insane. He has no business having such compelling works being readable in a lunch break.

Another vote for Pratchett! I’m an economics fan, and making money happened to be my introduction, but there are far more common onramps.

My personal suggestion for getting a feel of Pratchett’s writing these days is monstrous regiment - technically in the discworld series, but it’s very standalone, so you get the flavor of the writing with little of the need for additional context.

I use letterboxd for movies, Goodreads for books. Haven’t found one for tv shows.

Yup, base model, $30 or so sonicate gives that “fresh from the dentist” clean

A dude was quitting magic the gathering cuz he played it with his ex. Bought his collection. Found a non-precious metal wedding band. I don’t know where it is now, perhaps it rolled it’s way to smeagol.

The fucking bugs under the skin.

This is what I had bookmarked in highschool

Can you link some sources as examples?

Sorry, the website doesn’t make it clear to me, what are these numbers indicating they’re a recipient for? Are these direct donations from Israel?

Idk man, Trump’s got some wild plans for Hitlertown.

“On day one, we’ll restore our travel ban. We had a travel ban because we didn’t want people coming into our country who really loved the idea of blowing our country up,” he said. He called the ban an “amazing success.”

“We didn’t have one incident in four years, because we kept bad people out of our country,” he claimed.

“I’ll also be implementing strong ideological screenings for all immigrants coming in,” he said. “If you hate America, if you want to abolish Israel, if you sympathize with jihadists, then we don’t want you in our country and you’re not going to be getting into our country.”

Trump also said he would cancel student visas of Hamas sympathizers.

“The college campuses are being taken over, and all of the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests this month, nobody’s seen anything like it,” he said. “Come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you.”

…

As president, Trump would “put every single university and college president on notice,” he said. “The American taxpayer will not subsidize the creation of terrorist sympathizers on American soil.”

I know you were speaking in hyperbole, but it sounds like he’d actually be gunning to actually put Palestine supporters in camps.

There’s a nuanced difference between odds of being someone being killed by x versus y, and the number of deaths resulting from x vs y.

My hunch is that spraying into a crowd with an automatic results in more deaths at a faster rate than someone actively aiming, but quite frankly my personal belief is that having a knife severely limited the number of deaths when compared to any firearm.

To put it succinctly, just because you can’t hit your intended target with an automatic firearm doesn’t mean the danger goes away - oftentimes bystanders get hurt, which is mentioned in the quote you brought up.

I’d say the reason the military did that is probably because they’re not shooting into crowds of inattentive, unsuspecting bystanders, and you can’t really compare military tactics to a dude shooting up a mall where folks are unarmed, but this is getting pretty far into the theoretical weeds.
