Blunt delivery, but I agree. We’ve been programmed by pop psychology to think our personality traits fit in neat categories, but in reality it’s all grey area

The Houston Museum of Natural Science is a fantastic museum and I love visiting, but the entire top floor is basically propaganda for oil companies who made big donations. It’s under the guise of teaching about petroleum engineering, but it’s just so blatant and gross. If you go (which I highly recommend), skip the top floor

According to their “About Us” page, they were a small business that is now financed by Post Road Group and Bain Capital. Creating competition for Comcast is a great thing, but I’d bet over the years those capital partners are going to demand enshittification for profit. I’d still drop Comcast like a rock though.

The excavation in the street sounds like the same thing Google Fiber did in my neighborhood, microtrenching fiber in the street along the curb. Has worked great for me for almost 10 years now

You got some great advice already, I just wanted to add that it’s certainly possible you’re reading way too much into this and are anxious about something that amounts to nothing. I agree speaking openly with your supervisor about it is your best route.

Also, putting the amounts in the directions and not just at the beginning.

Fucking genius. Someone get this man a promotion

The Austin Chronicle has reliably good content. Lots of local stuff, but also commentary on the state of Texas, and a ton of arts pieces

This is a great way to frame this. To put this thinking into an example, most people who are abusive toward others have themselves been victims of abuse earlier in their lives and are reenacting patterns they were taught. I think those people deserve compassion and understanding

Shade is everything. Tree shade is the best, because trees transpire, cooling the ground beneath them even more than shade would alone.

Inside your house (depending on what kind of home you have), you can also take a look at your overall energy efficiency, including windows, doors, insulation in walls and attic, and weather stripping to seal all gaps

Atheist. Religion is an explanation of the world that’s made the fuck up. I think people make shit up to explain reality because accepting uncertainty is difficult, but that doesn’t make it ok. The world around you exists, just like it is. There is no special place you get to go if you follow the right set of rules .

He joined in June '23 after the reddit API debacle, along with many of us. 4610 posts + 67178 comments over 20 months comes out to 120 posts and comments per day, every day, for over a year and a half. A true addict, one that puts the rest of us addicts to shame.

That movie? 2 Fast 2 Furious

Emergence of DeepSeek raises doubts about sustainability of western artificial intelligence boom

Is the “emergence of DeepSeek” really what raised doubts? Are we really sure there haven’t been lots of doubts raised previous to this? Doubts raised by intelligent people who know what they’re talking about?

The money went back into the hands of all the people and money managers who sold their stocks today.

Edit: I expected a bloodbath in the markets with the rhetoric in this article, but the NASDAQ only lost 3% and the DJIA was positive today…

Nvidia was significantly over-valued and was due for this. I think most people who are paying attention knew that

There are plenty old movies I have seen or would love to see, but very few of those were made before 1940, and 1940 won’t reach public domain for another 15 years.

The world has a bit more to it than just automobiles
