“Thrilled to have recently capitalized on a high-value networking opportunity with Stanford-educated innovators during a dynamic, purpose-driven exploration experience! Collaborated with a talented cohort of future leaders, all driven by a shared vision of growth and impact. I had the privilege of delving deep into the prestigious culture and operational frameworks of Ivy League institutions, expanding my perspective on leadership and excellence. 🚀 I also took a bold step by navigating the ultra-competitive application process—submitted successfully, though unfortunately not accepted this time. 🙌 This journey has reinforced my commitment to lifelong learning, resilience, and continuous improvement. 💪 Onward and upward! #GrowthMindset #Leadership #Networking #Resilience #FutureLeaders #ContinuousImprovement”

The few bits of lore that exist are probably going to be fumbled. I really do hope they do just have herobrine in the background of some scene. The trailer looks like they are going all in on hoglins, which I’m completely meh on. Endermen are probably too scary for a little kid movie tho.

This man will never take a shower in peace without being haunted by this memory

This could be about politics or DougDoug’s twitch chat

Only thing I can think of that would actually cause this is that bro is playing video games with butt toys in. We should celebrate that he is exploring the wonderful world off butt stuff but might need to have a conversation about moderation

I mean, just use vosotros and be chaotic evil

I know right‽ feels like when I learnt about the FedEx arrow for the first time

Im Def racking up interest but I’m lowkey banking on student loans being forgiven before the extra interest becomes a problem. Like, I’m gonna assume that at worst I’m adding an extra year of payments, but that’s going to be future me’s problem in like 15 years.

I definitely don’t qualify for finacial hardship in any sense of the term. I’m in the high end of middle class income. I’ve been participating in the not paying as a form of protest for student loan reform/forgiveness. I’ll be relatively fine when payments of $500 a month start back up. It’ll suck but not gonna put me into hardship.

It’s really about solidarity at this point cause I’ll be in student debt for an insane amount of time. Then again, even tho I’m okay, I don’t have much of a runway if I were to get an unexpected layoff

I’m not sure what I’m gonna do. I think I might choose to miss one or two months just to see if we all hold the line

I don’t want no SS smoke so I’ll shup

Don’t stop, babe, I’m about to also

I totally forgot to include carplay in my long list of things. It’s such a dependable and clutch feature. Good carplay support had way too much influence in my decision of what car I bought.

I dislike this logic. It’s really a black and white / all or nothing approach. Also, I think the photos app is just a microcosm of a bigger consideration. That being which OS do I trust more overall if I trust some of the built I apps more?

So first, I will say that the phrase “stopping me from switching” kind of implies that I’m looking to switch but can’t.

I used to have android between the iPhone 4s and the iPhone X. Back then, there were significant features that I wanted that I couldn’t get from iOS. Tho now there isn’t much that android has that I don’t feel I have access to that is significant .

As for what keeps me around and happy with iPhone is

• I’m in software engineering and I have always been mac person. I know windows has had the Linux subsystem for a long time now but it feels like a new feature and clunkier than max being freebsd based. My current job forces me to use windows, and I hate it but it’s been 4 years, so I’ve adjusted. That said, the Mac/iPhone/iPad interoperability is great
• I love my Apple Watch. I’m sure Android wearable have gotten better but the integration feels complete and well supported. I don’t have to worry about my phone getting updated and my watch stopping working
• The find my network is pretty great. I know there are other solutions but airtags are great. All of my devices also have seamless location tracking and sharing out of the box.
• I pay for the TB of iCloud storage (it’s outrageously priced but I’m used to it now). It’s great to have all my devices able to just all be using it. Latest addition to my icloud usage was using the Logitech Circleview doorbell and camera. It saves directly to icloud. I don’t have to worry about storage and I also don’t have to worry about the company sharing my footage with cops cause the data is stored in my icloud drive.
• it’s not flawless nor perfect but knowing that there is app review before something gets published makes me feel better about the entire ecosystem. Kind of like how a bouncer at a bar let’s ya know that when you go inside, the riffraff had to at least sneak in
• apple pay works great for me
• having all my devices made by the same company is a pro for me but I know others might see it as a con. But my Mac, iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, Apple TV, HomePods, AirPods, etc all just being from apple means I have less to keep up with. I don’t have to worry about a matrix of who makes what and when it’s gonna get updated or dropped
• resell/trade in value is great cause old devices have such a long life due to software updates
• my shit just works and I’m happy
• I know it might be contraversal but I trust Apple. Be it them having a pretty good record on user privacy, or them not allowing bloatware cause of user experience, or them not cramming AI into shit the same way everyone else did (even with the upcoming IOS, their implementation seems well thought out and conservative
• backups and transferring to new devices has been completely painless (which I do suprisingly often)

Over the years, I’ve gone from being a major tech enthusiast to now not wanting to have to futz around when I’m not on the clock. I still like getting tech and adding it to my home, but I don’t get in the weeds anymore. I just want my shit to work. I want my stuff to just work for my family.

I dunno, tweaking and futzing used to be important to me. But now confidence and simplicity matter more to me now

I’m not a capitalist but glad the free market regularly aligns with DEI. Thought the company I work at would back off a bit to the news coverage of outraged hysterics but they’ve doubled down.

So I had no context for how big that is and why it’s newsworthy

To put the sheer size of the 8 GW solar farm in perspective, the three largest solar farms in the world by capacity are China’s Ningxia Tenggeli and Golmud Wutumeiren solar farms, with a capacity of 3 MW each, and a 3.5-GW solar farm outside Urumqi, Xinjiang’s capital.

Tho still didn’t understand the scale until I looked up a stat on nuclear

Nuclear energy has been powering the U.S. grid for the past 6 decades and produces around 1 gigawatt of power per plant on average.

Then again, I thought, maybe nuclear power might be less productive than I think it is, so looked up a list of biggest power plants in the world

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_power_stations#Top_20_largest_power_producing_facilities

• Number 1 is Three Gorges Damn at 22 GW
• there is an 7.96 GW nuclear power plant in Japan
• but 8 GW would be the 10th biggest power plant in the world

Then I learnt that that nuclear power plant has been out of action since like 2017. It’ll soon(?) be active again but for now the record for biggest nuclear is held by a 7.4 MW power plant in South Korea

In conclusion, my ADHD medications have worn off and I should go to bed

Is this house loss?

Suprising how numb we all are to countries saying they will make an entire population suffer rather than talking about fighting the military. We are just one or two layers away from countries saying “we’ll kill all the babies till they regret even thinking about looking at us sideways”
