Assuming I'm given time to brush up on it, math probably. Algebra, Geometry, and Trig. I was good at those and enjoyed tutoring math when I was in college. Calculus is awesome but I'm too dumb to teach that to anyone.

Figuring out how to automate them, when possible. Coding / scripting / debugging is more fun than tedious manual tasks, IMO.

No. I'm an 80s kid. It's kind of nice once in a while to forget it.

I imagine people with their phone in their faces while shopping, walking their dogs, etc. must have max anxiety over even the fleeting thought of not having their precious.

Linked in Lunatics: 90 hours? That seems low-effort minimum to me. I work so hard I violate the laws of spacetime.

He needs to watch the Ryan George video.

You'd think health care providers would want to GTFO ASAP.

I agree! I love baklava. If someone never eats nuts, I can totally understand how they could eat baklava for the first time and not realize the "crunchy stuff" is made from nuts. They simply don't have the experience to know what the taste and texture of nuts in syrup inside a flaky layered dessert like baklava are going to be like. The nuts are chopped up pretty small.

People are so quick to victim blame.

I suspect 90% of them don't care. The 10% that do care already judged me as soon as I walked in.

Last time I attempted this, I threw my back out for a week.

7/10 will try again.

I'm not an expert in political philosophy by any measure, but I kind of feel like lemmy.world is a small case study in the pros and cons of realpolitik.

Generally speaking, a modern heating system should not fail nearly this often, even if neglected. Need more information (like the type of heating system, age) but it sounds like it could be a wiring issue with the house, or a flaky dying controller. Replacing the controller is not that expensive, especially if you do it yourself.

I refuse to use Meta, and I block their various URLs in my home. Friends and family complain and give me grief about it. It's astonishing how much of a creep Zuck is, and yet he's got his hooks in deep, and some people are still addicted to his garbage.

I had to Google that. Never heard of them, but they don't strike me as radically different than Funko Pops. I know married people with those. Someone out there probably likes you, or would if they met you.

This is why they told me to keep my camera off at work.

Billionaires playing real world Minecraft and ignoring consequences sounds like 2025.

A lot of it is untracked, though. I know we live in the era of big data, but Blizzard et al has no clue how many people are playing TIE Fighter Total Conversion and countless other old games. 5% is way too low of a made up estimate.

Hell, classic arcade emulators are ubiquitous.

My point here is not that game publishers aren't making money. My point is, gamers don't have to buy into it to have fun.

Shit like this is why people go back and play much older titles and have a great time with them.

c/patientgamers rise up! Or maybe not. We'll just wait until it goes on sale and maybe give it a try down the road.

Good chance to curate my block list.

It took me a long time to switch from Cakewalk to Reaper for this very reason. With a little time and practice I learned to love Reaper's streamlined interface.
