To me it sounds like you may be assigning motives to things that aren’t as evil as you perceive. Just live your life and be a normal, respectful level of loud. You’re going to hear your neighbors in an apartment. Accept it and move on. Unless it’s past quiet hours and affecting your sleep I don’t think there’s much you can do, practically.

Are they confronting you in person or something? Have they said anything to you or do you just hear noises?

Flightradar24 had a notification that the Concorde was flying again, first thing I saw this morning and I completely fell for it.

Buying computer parts is one of those areas when buying high end is usually cheaper in the long run. My 5800X3D / 3090 build is still extremely relevant despite being two generations behind the latest hardware. I have no desire to upgrade and I’ll probably be able to push it for another 2-4 years easily.

Never bought a Windows license though, and I’ve been building PCs since 1998.

I hate embracer eraser group, fuck em for cancelling the Deus Ex game.

That just isn’t true. Viewing 16:9 on 4:3 doesn’t mean half your screen is black bars.

Not knocking people’s choices, it just wasn’t for me. If math in reality isn’t math in education, it’s even better that I left.

I’ll still contend math is much more elegant than physics or engineering, though. There’s no e^I*pi + 1 = 0 equivalent for either.

Respect. Physics is way up there in terms of hard science nerd cred.

Eh, it’s just fundamentally ugly to me and that really turned me off. Rounding doesn’t help, that’s like turning the lights off for sex to make it better. I still know the ugliness exists, even if I don’t see it.

Engineering is still very cool to me, and I have huge respect for those who do it, but I’d never have made it. It’s physics but even further perverted by reality. Math was beautiful to me because of how “pure” it was. Just straight logic, divorced from the messy world we live in. Tidy coefficients and elegant derivations.

Numbers like that are why I quit majoring in mechanical engineering. Physics took the beauty of math and made it ugly.

You knew something was wrong in calculus when you got a fucked up coefficient that wasn’t a nice number.

Spun is also fucked up on hallucinogens, like at a festival when you take too much acid.

You didn’t discover this as a child? Shit, spinning around was the first high I ever had, followed a few years later by hyperventilation.

I know you said read, but the reason this came to mind was from rewatching an excellent Down The Rabbit Hole video recently. It’s a good one, 24 minutes long and no annoying bullshit or filler. The concept of social density is mentioned in the video, which isn’t something I saw reading the wiki on it or during a quick search.

Side note, these experiments are what inspired the Rats of NIMH books which you may be familiar with.

Makes me think about the concept of social density in the mouse utopia experiments. It wasn’t population density per se that caused the decline of the mouse society, it was the inability to escape social situations.

Fantastic post workout snack, hydration and high quality protein.

Using an ATM to get foreign currency is still insanely better than using a currency exchange place like you see in international airports. Talking 1-2% fees versus 15-20% or higher.

I spend a grand on a nice adjustable dumbbell set and a bench and went from 165lbs to 210lbs over the last 18 months with a combination of weight training and eating better. It’s absolutely possible to work out at home with the resources that are out there these days. I do miss some of the equipment at the gym but the convenience of a home gym is just too good.

I would point out that getting lean/shredded is not a function of the gym, it’s a function of the kitchen. You cannot out exercise a bad or even mediocre diet. You can use a gym to build muscle, increase flexibility, or improve cardiovascular fitness, but there’s no avoiding making changes to your diet if you want to decrease body fat.

cmd+Q on macOS is great.

I think it’s kinda dumb, much like putting whole little tomatoes on a pizza It’s hard to get topping consistency from bite to bite and they’re likely to roll off.

Taste wise, everyone’s different, I’m not going to judge in that aspect.

Jailbreak.

Important to note: this exploit is not persistent, meaning you’ll have to redo it anytime the console is shut down or crashes. The 360 doesn’t suspend, so unless you leave it on you’ll be doing the exploit a lot.

In addition it’s only successful 30% of the time, so you have to try the exploit multiple times each time the console boots.

Great progress though - hopefully it leads to something more permanent.
