There are also various browser extensions to show you an image from the middle of the video instead of a thumbnail. I personally prefer that.

The comic says in 30 minutes.

Edit: and from what I’m seeing online, depending on some factors like the type of beans used, four espresso shots could end up around 300mg. 3/4 of the daily reccomended limit in 30 minutes is going to be tough on most people, especially to someone looking at it “as a treat” instead of just their regular coffee/caffeine for the day.

I work in tech and I can’t drink alcohol, so I’m no stranger to caffeine. It’s one of a few vices available to me. But I’m not going to pretend that my worst of drinking 64oz of coffee, a caffeinated soda or two, and a caffeinated mint is normal. Or that wouldn’t make me feel ill if I did it all in 30 minutes even with my tolerance.

Lol, you mean “go outside”? Pretty high bar for some internet denizens.

I’ve had plenty of conversations with religious folks that didn’t touch upon their holy texts at all. And plenty of conversations with atheists that were interminably about what they thought those texts said.

Whenever someone generalizes a group so drastically like this, I tend to wonder about how limited their life experiences must be.

Holy shit, I can’t be reading that right. FOUR espresso shots?

The issue isn’t your anxiety, it’s your completely unhinged idea of what a cozy little coffee is.

That’s close to the FDAs safe reccomended daily limit for caffeine, of fucking course you’re gonna spike your anxiety.

Can’t see see that saying without this starting to jam out in my head.

I get more frustrated at how many people, especially IT folks, don’t get that these anti-features are configurable.

5 minutes (at most) in regedit and/or Group Policy to disable this bullshit entirely? No, let’s add a three second mental hitch where I have to recall the magic key combo every time I want to open the program. And still leave the problem in place for everything else.

Credit where it’s due, science built the plane.

Not sure if it was taken off FDroid for lack of updates or something, but I’ve found the github here. https://github.com/jakehilborn/speedr

The math doesn’t add up right. All I can go off of is my memory of the results after a year of driving in a way where I thought I was speeding often.

There’s a nice little app on F-Droid called Speedr.

Edit: Not seeing it there anymore, but found the github for it: https://github.com/jakehilborn/speedr

It checks your speed against what open street map has set as the speed limit for the road. It will record how often, how long, how much you drove over the speed limit during your drive.

It will then use that data to estimate the amount of time you actually saved.

I regularly drive ~15 mph over the speed limit to keep up with traffic. Do a long drive of more than eight hours at a time around every other month. In a year I saved under 20 minutes.

Maybe a more aggressive driver could get more savings, but as far as I’m concerned I’ll just leave a little earlier.

Edit: Also, not sure that math adds up. Going off of my memory from a few years ago.

Lol, lmao even. Welcome to the grind. There aren’t many/any easy ways, it wildly varies based off your situation and skillset, and anyone who found any sort of “trick” isn’t about to share it.

The “easiest” way online, assuming no particular skills, is probably mechanical turk work. Amazon has a system for it. mturk.com

You get paid barely anything, I mean like literal pennies, to go and do stuff like fill out surveys, categorize photos for AI training datasets, etc. Most people who make any halfway reasonable amount from it are using all sorts of scripts and stuff to maximize how much they can do in the least amount of time.

If you already have money, giving it to an investment banker to handle for you can be enough to live off of, but you need an absurd amount of money to start with in order to just live off dividends.

Fun fact: that lady has multiple nobel science prize winners in her family and lives on a national heritage site. Look her up on Wikipedia and it’s pretty obvious why she doesn’t want class war, lol.

TL;DR- Drunk and with no experience I lead a small group in pretty big parade.

I once led a small marching band in a parade while incredibly drunk, with a flagpole effectively attached to my cock (yeah, just rest the end against your belt, it’s fine), and with only 45 minutes of training the weekend before. At the largest fife and drum muster in the US. I had no prior experience at anything remotely related. I had only been to one of the corp’s meetings previously. Later that night I kissed my future wife for the first time.

I’m sure there’s some wonderful psychoanalysis take away that I thought of the flag as an extension of my cock.

To this day I have no idea why they didn’t get the actual marching band member boyfriend of one of the members to lead, because apparently I was pretty awful at it. It got some minor news coverage, so there’s a chance a picture exists somewhere.

The point is that they do see all this, but it hasn’t died yet, which means it’s stronger than initially believed.

Tell me again how you’ve never become the subject matter expert on something simply because you were around when it was built.

Or had to overhaul a project due to a “post-live” requirements change a year later.

I write “good enough” code for me, so I don’t want to take a can opener to my head when I inevitably get asked to change things later.

It also lets me be lazier, as 9 times out of 10 I can get most of my code from a previous project and I already know it front to back. I get to fuck about and still get complex stuff out fast enough to argue for a raise.

I feel like this is an incomplete setup to a joke where the eyes get bigger every panel until it’s just the black void.

The scale is a significant part of the problem though, which can’t just be hand waved away.

Yeah, didn’t want to jump to conclusions, but that detail was quite absent from the blog post.

Also his claim that email chains end up creating an extra copy of an attachment every time? That’s not how most email clients handle attachments. They usually only carry forward in forwards.

And even if his idea is true for his setup somehow, data deduplication at the storage level isn’t particularly difficult to set up, and I would argue is table stakes for any business doing self hosting.

Similar when it comes to data retention policies, quotas, auto deletion of spam after a shorter time window. It’s not fun and for some setups may not be easy, but it’s part of the bare minimum for email. So yeah, you absolutely do it yourself or pay someone to do it for you.

Edit: and if you pay someone to do it for you, you have to abide by whatever dumb hoops they make you jump through, or find someone else to pay.

Thank you, I didn’t want to jump to conclusions, but his setup seemed like a convoluted way to have Google handle the storage at no cost to himself. Glad I’m not the only one with that takeaway.
