Comment on A new rallying cry for the irony-poisoned right. It took less than twenty-four hours after Trump’s re-election for young men to take up a slogan that could define the coming era of gendered regression in ~society

Comment on Job offer in a new city -- making friends? in ~life

I have zero regrets about it, but I was also not tied down in any way to the midwest. I have visited Vancouver, it's a gorgeous area of the country, especially if you like the outdoors/mountains.
In terms of meeting new friends, other than through work I'd say the biggest thing is to have hobbies. There's meetup apps that you can use to find groups of similar hobbies, but try to look up local groups such as people who get together for board games, trivia nights, intramural sports, hiking groups, things like that. It's a big city and really the best way to meet new people is through shared experience.
It can be scary going out on your own for the first time, especially that far away. Put yourself out there and find group activities you like to do, you are bound to meet others with similar interests that you can bond with. For me that was primarily through playing ice hockey, I've met so many great people just through playing the sport I love.
Also doesn't hurt to try out a new hobby. Odds are there are groups or classes that are designed for beginners where you will be fumbling through it with other people who are in the same boat as you. Could be anything like the learn to play/skate hockey classes they have here, beginner pottery class, cooking class, dance class, there's so many things you could try.
Overall I have zero regrets from the move, but I also am someone who can be quite comfortable on their own for periods of time and I wasn't a fan of the midwest. I wanted the mountains and the outdoors. I didn't mind the rain in the winter, I preferred green and rainy over dry and brown/dead. That's one more thing, make sure you're ok with rain/overcast, because it's overcast up here for a large portion of the year. Some people can handle it, others get seasonal affective disorder. It's definitely a different feel, so just keep that in mind.
Happy to answer any other questions!

Comment on Thoughts on a Democratic postmortem in ~society
dhcrazy333 Link ParentMy view on Vance has always been he seemed like someone the Republicans could use to continue Trump populism after Trump can no longer run. He's much younger and clearly willing to continue to say...My view on Vance has always been he seemed like someone the Republicans could use to continue Trump populism after Trump can no longer run. He's much younger and clearly willing to continue to say the most outlandish things just like Trump does. It's a way for them to keep the rage bait and disinformation going after Trump is done.

Lot of things I can think of, I'm sure inflation is a big part of that, even if it wasn't Biden's fault and that he handled it decently well.
I think that at the end of the day, what I have never understood, and don't think I will ever understand, is how so many people can stand behind such a wretched human being. He's a textbook narcissist, wants only what's best for himself and doesn't care if it harms others along the way, constantly paints anyone who doesn't agree with him as the devil reincarnate, does nothing but spew vile things, rambles incoherently with the vocabulary of a 10 year old, and is just a petulant manchild. Like if it was the democrat's candidate that behaved that atrociously, I would never be able to support them on a fundamental human level. The fact that so many people not only enable this behavior in what is supposed to be the most dignified job in the country/world, but actively praise his behavior just absolutely boggles my mind and honestly just makes me so damn sad. So many people praising the worst qualities in humans.

I know baseball doesn't have a hard cap but that Ohtani contract gives me the same vibes.

Comment on How's the iPhone experience on Google Fi in late 2024? in ~tech

One member had some issues getting the sim set up initially but it was determined it was because Verizon had messed something up originally and when they tried switching the e-sim it wasn't working properly. We did get that resolved. There's some settings you need to change on iPhone to get it working properly, but they send you a packet about how to do it and it's pretty straight forward. I think the only thing that maybe sometimes is an issue is an issue with voicemail syncing properly, but that could be an apple thing and not necessarily fi (I've noticed weird voicemail shenanigans on my work iPhone as well which is unrelated to fi).
Overall my family members have had a mostly smooth experience with iPhones on fi once we got things set up.
Edit: as to your last part, iMessage, FaceTime, etc. all work as expected when messaging other iPhones.

The people who participated, sure, were sincere and believed in the causes, but the higher ups promoting it are a different story. Very much always felt like "this is the hit thing to do right now so we are jumping on the train. Hey everyone, see how awesome we are?! See how much we care about this?!"
I'n all for diversity, equity, and inclusion, but really am not really a fan of companies using it as bait to try and pretend like they care so they can get a larger employer pool.

I know I know, tech YouTuber "merch" just screams cash grab, but LTT has a whole creater warehouse division dedicated to engineering high quality products, it's not just someone else's cheap brand with their label slapped on, they actually do R&D to get things right.
Might be worth trying out one of their 3-packs. It's a bit expensive but it is high quality. It's basically the only underwear brand I wear anymore. I buy their products not because "oh support YouTube creator", I actually buy them because they are great quality.
Project Farm had both their screwdriver and tshirts tested in some reviews and both products were among the top, if you wanted to get a comparison for their other products and how they fair.

They were point blank asked if Google uses YouTube videos to train Gemini. The exec dances around the question with "Google uses YouTube videos within it's terms of service". Which is basically "yes but I don't want to say yes".
Hank goes into a lot more details and in depth thoughts about the whole situation though and it's well worth the watch.

I really prefer "show don't tell" type of shows but it really felt like they were beating me over the head with "this character bad. This character shady", and the plot points felt very scattered and not very cohesive. It's possible it gets better in the future episodes, but I just couldn't get into it.

Comment on US judge rules Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend caused her death, dismisses some charges against ex-officers in ~news
dhcrazy333 LinkI’m sorry but does this judge understand what proximate cause is? You take each sequence of events and see which one was the significant cause of the chain of events that ultimately resulted in...Simpson concluded that Walker’s “conduct became the proximate, or legal, cause of Taylor’s death.”
I’m sorry but does this judge understand what proximate cause is? You take each sequence of events and see which one was the significant cause of the chain of events that ultimately resulted in the final outcome. Sure, firing at a police officer in self defense resulted in them shooting Breonna Taylor, but why did he shoot at a police officer? Because they broke into the house with a no-knock warrant, the wrong house might I add. Why did they break into the wrong house? Falsified warrant. Were it not for the bad warrant, none of the following events would have taken place. That is the proximate cause.
This just sounds like “look what you made me do” victim blaming mentality. “I broke into your house without a knock on a bad warrant. How dare you try to defend your house and possibly your life like any reasonable person would? Look what you made me do now, this is your fault your girlfriend is dead.”
Generally speaking shouldn't top area be an exhaust fan rather than intake since hot air rises? Naturally moves the hot air up and out, and could have intake at the bottom.
Either way if under load it's only a 60c you are doing quite well. Pretty sure most don't start throttling until they get to like 78-80c.
