Is “he” her father here?
At the time I didn’t even think anything of it. It just clattered against the wall next to my head and I was a teenager and I just went back to work. In my 40s now and that guy and I would have serious words. Can’t believe how trivially I treated my own safety back then
So it wasn’t accurate when you said he “couldn’t” figure it out.
Sounds like it was a last resort if he “couldn’t figure out” whose machine it was.
I had a dishwasher throw a chef’s knife at my head once
This is why I promote the distribution and carrying of pocket horns. We need to have more honking and flipping the bird during pedestrian interactions.
our most evil things happen when we create systems that allow us to remove the humanity from one another
This alienation is, incidentally, why conscientiousness is more reliable than empathy as a mechanism for ensuring people are good to one another.
Empathy doesn’t scale. It’s possible to have empathy for people that one knows closely, or sees often. But empathy for incidental strangers is harder, and empathy for those one only “sees” abstractly is even harder than that. Empathy isn’t built for extension to millions or billions of people.
Conscientiousness – for example treating people fairly because it’s the right thing to do, as opposed to treating them warmly because it feels good to do so – is actually scalable. You can make a commitment to treating everyone fairly, and then you don’t need to rely on feeling good about a person in order to do right by them.
In Denver, a person with a house gets subsidized rates for electricity. By parking their EV in their garage and charging overnight, they can pay 4.2¢ per kWh.
Meanwhile, a person like me who lives in an apartment and must charge his car during the day at public chargers like EVGo or Electrify America, pays 59¢ per kWh.
This means that assuming a typical 70 kWh charge (from almost empty to almost full) costs:
That’s almost a 15x difference! (Yay for EV economics).
We don’t have an economy. We have two economies. We have a severely bimodal economy.
Laser pointers drive cats insane
We have a certain minimum level of dignity all interactions must abide by.
Nah man. Nah. I do believe you’d get your ass kicked saying something like that, man.
I usually set a timer, then focus on keeping a certain RPM until the timer goes off.
When I was in HS I ran cross country, and the coach had us do a running workout that involved staying right on the edge between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. You can tell you’ve entered anaerobic respiration because your muscles start to burn.
That kind of thing is really useful for developing the ability to work out self-directed. Being able to sense when your body is in its sweet spot is a valuable skill.
Pretty sure however you’re using the windows key, that’s how it was intended to be used.
As an English enthusiast, I like how you used that construction correctly.
