Lots of people do that. It’s how they end up in crippling debt.

OK, let me rephrase, because i’m misrepresenting the book.

Colonizing Mars is extremely, insanely complex and we have no idea how to even start, and there are SO many better places that we need to try first unless we’re just willing to throw away lives (and trillions of dollars). It goes pretty deeply into all the stuff we either don’t know but need to know, or know but can’t fix, and of course there’s all the stuff we don’t know we don’t know. It discusses the insane logistical effort you need just get the bare minimum going, and how it’s not remotely like living there for a year, or colonizing a new country.

There’s a great book called “A City on Mars” and it’s mostly about stuff like this. Why colonizing mars is absolutely stupid

Also, have you seen how HUGE the thing was?

Silence Unknown Callers and Filter Unknown Senders on iPhone.

Doesn’t iphone have a “auto silence spam callers” function? The one Android is amazingly good.

Are there? I find unlocking my phone takes more time than shaking.

Since I have a shake-for-light feature, I’ve started using it numerous times every day.

Wifi spectrum analysis is so useful, because despite all the routers being “smart” they somehow still suck ass at picking an empty(er) band.

Let me break down that comment.

So, you want to feel better about yourself, but only through supernatural means?

And when I point out that that is getting in your way to achieving what you call “enlightenment”, you not only straight il refuse, but insist that magic is definitely a potential correct path.

And you cover it all with a nice sauce of insulting my intelligence.

You have a VERY long road ahead, and you’re currently walking at a right angle to it.

I know that was sarcasm, but stop thinking about it in pseudoscientific religious nonsense terms like “spiritual” and “*enlightenment”.

You’re a human, humans can be figured out, we’re not magic.

It’s certainly better than the reverse.

Maybe you’re just really bad at it?

This entire thread is a gigantic Yo Momma joke, only real

Ding ding, this is the exact right answer.

For technical drawings, you generally want to use 6H and up for lines you’re probably going to erase, 2H for real drafting, and 2B and up is for shading and thicker work. We’d occasionally do “structural” lines in 4B.

I doubt you can find a mechanical pencil with 4B and over though.

I didn’t have this doll, but one with an answering-machine sized tape. It was annoying to mess with, but possible.

my body isn’t what it used to be. Office chair is about to be on that list as well, though I’ve been putting it off for ages

I found a (used) standing desk was roughly the same cost as a good office chair, and I’m very happy with my choice for the desk. I stand up about 6 hours out of the day, and it’s been great for my back and feet.

They spend 8 hours a day inconveniencing themselves for money.

I usually enjoy cooking, which is why I do it. But im exactly like this with chores, gardening, etc.

Someone who was my age when I was a stupid kid told me that me being 16 and them being 40 meant they had 22 years experience in being an adult, and I had zero.

It took a while to realize how right that was.

Seeing much younger versions of myself wearing the goth stuff I kept for nostalgia reasons made me try it on again.

Turns out my parents were right, it was a phase. Damnit.

But the other thing…yeah we don’t do that shit

Not exactly the same, but The Troubles were very much going on during the 90s
