Based on research, I maybe don’t have a full-on cavity. There is no pain and nothing normal such as hot temperatures, cold temperatures, or eating sugary stuff (or anything in general) causes pain. My bottom back molars definitely have light brown stuff in the cracks but the upper molars are pristine for some reason. I’m going to put more emphasis on brushing those molars and see if it goes away. A dental visit isn’t the only expensive thing I need to take care of right now so if this can be put off or delayed until later, I need to do so.

Wow. Surely this is an ai image but rich people sure do wear weird shit sometimes.

My survival medicine handbook doesn’t have very much content on dental stuff lol

Arch is cool and all but fixing all the issues every other time you update is a full time job. I can never rely on my system for shit. Sometimes there’s actually a wiki page for the issue but in my experience it’s usually bugs almost no one else has which means I’m on my own. If you’re smart enough for that cool but I’ve dedicated most of my life to only using Linux and I’m still nowhere close to being able to use Arch without spending too much time troubleshooting issues. I think I’d rather deal with Debian repositories being so out of date half my shit is broken because that way at least I only have to fix it once every year or two instead of every goddamn week.

Because arguing with idiots online is bad for mental health. And if you keep doing it, eventually some of your online haters might find out where you live.

And they say romance is dead

Damn, what would you even do with that information if you figured it out at 10:05am on a workday?

But they have to be allowed to continue doing it because their software runs all the nukes and missiles. /s

I bet this is just the setup for when they try to weasel their way out of California’s minimum wage and then when they win, they’ll use the same playbook to try to get around minimum wage in other states. This could cause a snowball effect where a nonzero number of employers get a free pass on select labor laws.

Hopefully they just lose and go out of business.

That open file lock shit is terrible. You can’t even attach a word document in an email if it’s opened. The windows ui is painfully slow even on capable hardware which makes dealing with this even worse. KDE is so fast, ui stuff finishes happening faster than my finger can complete the “click” motion.

It’s always blown my mind how game developers are ever able to get anything done working like this. A game development workflow, working with lots of different folders and different files open in different programs is exactly the type of workflow the windows ui is so bad at. Guess that explains things.

Damn I hope the entire watercooling industry doesn’t collapse. I like having a quiet pc and keeping my gpu cool enough that it won’t eventually kill itself.

You can use hardware store ptfe tubing and vehicle antifreeze. Beyond that, it’s possible to machine your own g14 barbs and then it’s distantly possible to diy waterblocks if you have an entire garage full of machine tools but that’s a monumental amount of effort. You’ll never diy a radiator though.

A couple years ago people were bragging about how ai will never take our jobs. FF to today. IT jobs pay less than fast food in some places thanks to ai and now pilots are going to loose their jobs too.

The issue with ai is that you usually have to be logged in with a Gmail account or something before you’re allowed to use it. If DDG is letting people use it anonymously with no login, that’s a hell of a lot better than any alternative besides self hosting your own.

Who even buys these in 2024 I wonder. Besides hobbiests. As a computer engineering hobbiest, the z80 isn’t a bad choice for an 8 bit computer or any beginner system but damn does that 64kb of addressable memory thing suck ass. I spent like a year figuring out fpgas on my own just so I could escape simplistic cpus with only 16 bits of address space. My current project has 32 bits of linear address space because fuck memory limitations.

The ez80 can address 16mb of memory and runs really fast. Sounds like a no brainer except it’s less versatile than the z80 because all versions of the ez80 except for a really rare model number that you can’t buy anywhere, doesn’t have an external wait state insertion pin. This significantly reduces the variety of peripherals and expansion cards that can be used with a ez80 computer to the point you’re actually going to be better off with a z80.

The z180 seems to be a decent choice though. It can address 512kb of memory which doesn’t sound like much but it should make things a hell of a lot easier if you want to do complicated stuff with it. Actually, upon further inspection this is a better beginner cpu than the z80 anyway. It’s basically just a z80 with more address space.

Just be happy it wasn’t punch cards

That’s my response to a lot of things these days

I’m skipping meals (and cutting out other things too) as part of my cost cutting strategy to save up for a dentist appointment. Guess I’m responsible for the downfall of society. 🤷

Fuck the haters this shit is fucking funny.

If ai is trash, why don’t you do better?

I don’t get why ai images make people so upset. Is it because it’s stealing jobs? That ship has already sailed. Try making any money online at any point in the last 10 years, the corpos are just going to fuck you out of it and rob from you anyway. “Section 38 paragraph 34615 states that if a whiny kid leaves a profanity comment on a YouTube video about this, we don’t have to pay you the ad revenue anymore. Sorry not sorry. The ads are still up tho.”
