Hello, I work in retail in Australia. The shopping malls I’m at all have “quiet time” for “people with sensory issues” every Tuesday morning from 9 to 11:30 am. It is as you described, and I agree with you.
Now I’m not sure where I stand on the spectrum but I’ve heard colleagues say they also prefer the quiet time, so, there you go. I just don’t understand the point of bombarding people with music all the time especially for Christmas.
This doesn’t work… It’s like saying there is a fine line between strength and opening pickle jars
They aren’t even adjacent either…
I’m glad to see most people replying yes, I was like “wait, is it not?”. The only time I don’t see noise is when I look at flat colors on a screen and I’m not a fan.
I believe the technology will eventually be implemented, but most likely not as an external device but as part of a neural chip/link/augmentation. We are already heading in that direction, and I’m certain we humans (unless we nuke ourselves out of existence first) will finally get to the stage in which our brains are augmented with the aid of some kind of artificial implant.
And it’s going to happen relatively slowly at first, then faster and faster. And things will fail or will be exploited and yes, one of those side effects might be wiping your memories or screwing up your identity.
Personally I’m not too worried, I don’t think I’ll live long enough to reach that phase let alone be able to afford any modifications to myself. I just hope humankind learns from the absolute mess that is social media and AI today and can see the obvious risks of implementing something like that. Or not. Just let the world burn down
Considering you mention affairs and divorce I’m going to presume you have a relationship you are not happy with.
I can absolutely relate to being exhausted after work. But it’s the job you do more than the hours. I’ve had energy after a 50hr week, yet felt absolutely drained in other jobs with just 30hrs.
Catch 22 then, because you can’t improve your relationship if you are reduced to a zombie, and your relationship is supposed to help ground you against the drains of daily life.
The ideal answer would be to talk things with a professional therapist. Not sure if you are in a position to do that. Second best is, talk things calmly with your partner and see if it is possible to cut down hours of work, perhaps move somewhere more affordable, change your job, in order for you both to have more time enjoy yourselves and your family. It sounds like you can do without, but it is important.
Ugh. Yeah I see why they would want to move the crowds if they were stills. It’s dumb though, would have been much easier to just shoot footage of the crowds in the first place.
I didn’t like YT upscaling and sharpening content without consent, I upload some portfolio pieces occasionally and having to contend with this garbage now doesn’t make me look forward to it.
Thanks for the TLDR
I can’t do that with my thumb. Mine goes straight even if I press to force to bend it backwards. It’s the only finger joint that doesn’t overextend, all my other fingers curve backwards nicely and even more so if I apply pressure.
Bending the thumb forwards (opposite as in your photo) is a different story. The joint can bend past the 90⁰, easily 80⁰ or more if I press it against something.
I don’t know if I want to click this bait, why would you need to alter the crowds if they’re there already?
Haven’t read the article yet. Why is Google doing this??? Side loading is a feature, if you are concerned about user scams then leave a way out for people who understand the risks.
Edit: wait is this retaliation for the Play Store No Monopoly thing? Stinking bastards
Reading the headline I first thought they were making a statement for privacy using outdated technology.
I used to live in a house hopelessly infested. My family is clean. We nuked, to no avail. Even if you don’t leave food behind, the fuckers will find things to eat. Examples of things the roaches ate in that house:
You can’t win. They probably have plenty of food in the form of decomposing organic matter inside the walls. For example dead animals, mold, rotting wood or else. I’ve had some success sealing with OCD levels of precision every single possible gap in the floor, wardrobes, walls, you name it. But there is always this or that thing you can’t seal such as power point sockets or else.
Cabbage does store better than most greens, but no, not as long as a preserve would.
Nice, thank you!
That’s a cool read, thanks for sharing
Yes, that’s an option but it’s not a long life preservation method which is what I’m asking about. It’s just hunting/ gathering fresh food like anywhere else.
Yes, but you can’t shelf citrus for like a year. I’m asking about long life preservation methods, not necessarily for sailors back in the day but in general.
I think the record I’ve seen apples last without refrigeration was two months, three maybe with a fridge. They were shriveled and slimy and gross but still edible. Not sure how well the C preserved, apples aren’t notorious for large quantities of it anyway.
Citrus is a bit less long lasting, either drying out or succumbing to mold.
I don’t believe an artificial object can become sentient. But even if it does, no, I’m not afraid. I’m afraid of the damage AI already causes as it is.
TIL there is a thing called Grokipedia
