A friend who thinks exactly the same as I do and can get excited at the same ideas? Hell yeah, we’d be inseparable. I have so many projects that would be much easier done with two people. Also, free gym buddy/trainer. My partner would be into it as well for a multitude of reasons. The only trouble would be living space.

I can’t think of anything worthwhile we can do as a single legal entity so first thing we’d do is probably acquire a new legal identity so we can legally work and be taxed separately and just generally participate in society. It would be pretty easy to prove that we’re genetically identical and therefore are identical twins born at the same time at the same place to the same parents. Everything else can be chalked up to clerical error. The people in charge of this aren’t paid enough to care and dig any further than that.

It gives you an early signal that the relationship won’t work out if the other party decides to contribute nothing for no reason other than to have their cake and eat it too.

I’m of the belief that when it comes to relationships, if you’re thinking about it transactionally, then you’re doing things wrong. As long as being together is a net positive for both parties, then it doesn’t matter if one contributes more than the other.

On a more pragmatic note, you can contribute a lot through non-financial means and these are difficult to quantify, so it’s simply not worth the effort to do that kind of bean counting. If you don’t feel that they’re pulling their weight, then you talk about it and make some adjustments.

My experience has been that you basically restart the process of building a new social circle every few years. Life circumstances change. People move away. Some relationships grow apart. Some start families. So there’s always going to be others in the same boat as you looking for new connections.

Ah, I didn’t realize the moon could look bigger/smaller at different times. I thought you were saying that the moon is actually the same size as the sun or something like that.

that the moon’s apparent size is due to how close it is to earth (same for seasons and the sun)

Explain?

Also, what’s the size/proximity of seasons?

Wow, my parents had a Samsung and it also broke on the exact same part. No replacement parts available except from a third party seller and it was way too expensive to justify fixing.

+1 for GZCLP. Of all the beginner programs out there, this one resonates best with everyone I’ve introduced it to.

It’s not even a question of motivation. Every ADHD person I know is highly motivated. It’s the ability to act on that motivation that’s impaired.

Um akchully…

If you don’t know enough to pick a side, then don’t. If the topic comes up, take that opportunity to learn something.

rTorrent with Flood front end.

My only complaint so far is being unable to reach the rTorrent TUI when it’s running headless. It otherwise works great.

In the context of programming:

• Good for boilerplate code and variables naming when what you want is for the model to regurgitate things it has seen before.
• Short pieces of code where it’s much faster to verify that the code is correct than to write the code yourself.
• Sometimes, I know how to do something but I’ll wait for Copilot to give me a suggestion, and if it looks like what I had in mind, it gives me extra confidence in the correctness of my solution. If it looks different, then it’s a sign that I might want to rethink it.
• It sometimes gives me suggestions for APIs that I’m not familiar with, prompting me to look them up and learn something new (assuming they exist).

There’s also some very cool applications to game AI that I’ve seen, but this is still in the research realm and much more niche.

This is the main reason I still keep Windows around. The majority of my stuff “just works” much better on Linux, but every once in a while, you need to interact with someone else via some weird proprietary software and it’s not really reasonable to go “sorry, can’t do it because Linux”, nor is it reasonable to spend several hours figuring out for Linux when I’m likely only using it once.

Windows is completely free though. I don’t even bother to remove the watermark.
