  • And if the vigilante thinks they are absolutely justified to shoot someone for walking across their lawn?

  • This post goes there? I suppose I did make a sewing-less repair to some clothes

  • Well, I mean, someone's evil ex shouldn't park in front of their house. And people should not park for a nap in a handicap spot. And not in the driving portion of a road, not in the breakdown lane of a major highway, not on anyone's lawn.

    But yeah, basically any place where parking is allowed, sleeping while parked should be allowed and protected.

  • Sleeping in a car that you own.

    I think there should be restrictions on where to park for this, but in general people found sleeping in cars should be protected by the law against theft and harassment.

  • That is a pretty interesting piece. I'll have to remember die cast direct whenever I have some space and money to expand my model car collection

  • How exactly does a newton's cradle help with focus? I never had one, and I think I'd end up focusing on the motion of it instead of anything else I'm supposed to be doing.

  • The only full job I can think of is assistant to a busy person. I don't think any whole jobs are done better by ai. Some of the jobs recommended in this thread would be better to be removed rather than replaced.

    So, I think ai makes a better assistant to a person doing a job rather than a replacement to compete a job on its own. It can write rough drafts that a talented writer can expand and edit. It can quickly generate several plans that an experienced leader can pick from or discard. It can look through a designer's portfolio and spit out "new" combinations of their past designs that the designer can then build upon.

    Any one of these jobs could give up and submit the AI's output as their own, but I think the quality of the results would suffer.

  • Scam detection would be more helpful

  • Career advice be like:

  • Unless you hold your fingers together with pressure for more than a day, it won't glue fingers together.

    Getting it out of carpet is a big deal though

  • It's not like super glue. Several days' curing time. It washed off easily with regular hand soap

  • I got some on my fingers several times during the process, and it wipes off easily with a paper towel, and residue washes off with regular hand soap.

    The curing time is very long, 36 hours if I remember it right. So I usually plan to leave it for a week because if I move the glued item too soon it falls apart again

  • Dang, this post needs a Fediverse equivalent to raisedbynarcissists.

    You were raised by mindless people who constantly misused their time and money in ways that directly affected your daily life. Their anti-logical ways left you constantly neglected in some ways, despite the fact that they had the means to cover all your basic needs. This neglect was obvious to anyone who saw you day to day, but they blamed you because your family controlled many decisions that are normally left up to the kids.

    That being said, you're not asking about "everyone" as your title says, you're asking about your family. Also, their words are complaining, but what they are doing is actually bragging. There is a high cultural value on being busy, and they've found ways to be VERY busy by having a literally insane way of life, with exhausting routines that are built around excess and waste.

    Still, this is not a question for a broader audience, but a rant about one stubbornly insane family.

    And the answer is, because they are more proud of their exhausting, difficult lives than you are proud of your planned, easy life.

    edited to clarify and expand

  • The technology has not peaked, the user experience has peaked

  • Aha, occupant fatalities. I was hoping to find out if they were measuring people inside the cars mentioned or people in other cars or pedestrians or all of the above

  • It's my understanding that LLM's are thoroughly unsafe, always reporting everything it does and every input back to whoever made the LLM. So, wouldn't it be easy for whoever owns the LLM to see what it's being used for, and to refuse service to scammers?

  • That's so cool!

    New bucket list item unlocked

  • That I work with metal forming headed towards engineering instead of woodworking with a goal of fine joinery.

  • Fixing the thought that you deserve it is the hard part. It's a self-reinforcing worldview that colors everything that comes in. People can say exactly the right thing, but depression will twist the way that you perceive their words.
