- Comment on Is it weird to simultaneously feel love and hatred towards parents? 1 day ago:
Its normal to feel a mix of emotions in all sorts of scenarios. My mother when looked at one way was incredibly competent and impressive but also aweful and petty. There is an ethical framework called the ethics of least harm but to take it one step further its best to strive for least harm and maximum benefit. Why this is needed is because all of us are to some degree good and bad and we can work to minimize the bad we do and maximize the good. The situation of life makes being zero bad or 100% good likely impossible.

Great for me but I don’t use any of those. Like two of those I attribute to smartphone users. I can’t think of anything I run on windows that I can’t on linux.

- Comment on Steve Jobs unveiled the NeXT Computer on this day in 1988 — 'The Cube' would be used to develop the WWW, Doom, and Quake 4 days ago:
I really wish sgi hardware/software could have been open sourced rather than sold when they went down.

I started using those in 1992 or 1993 and immediately fell in love with it. When osx was announced I was like. wait its going to have a next type gui with a freebsde base! Man its so sad apple lost its way.
- Comment on We Finally Know How to Get the One Renewable Energy Source Loved by Both Parties [geothermal] | The question is whether geothermal power, right beneath our feet, can compete on cost and reliability 4 days ago:
The way I understood it even before in the long term it was cost effective because it provided consistent power with little maintenance but it was the large upfront that was the problem. The article is a little light on the technology that allows for it to be cheaper but I have seen stuff on the laser drilling company (which stated by making lasers for fusion) which both lowers cost and speeds up the process (normall drilling the drill head wears down and they have to pull the whole thing out to change it and then run it back down). Given it does not require as much rare materials as some other options and is consistant 24x7 I am very hopeful for geothermal.

- Comment on What if reincarnation is real, but you were probably plankton in your last life, so you don’t remember anything anyway? 6 days ago:
Thats an interesting take. Figure between sapient lifetimes there would likely be many on sentient lives and your last sentient life would just be a garble by the time you got a new one. Makes me wonder taking the idea that universe is just sorta sentience rearranged and you could then be rocks or beaches or such to. Its like life is a grade school play.

I 100% agree but you do realize most people did not go out and protest the jewish holocaust while it was going on?
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 6 days ago:
Are you talking more indoors as there are a lot of outdoor stuff but only the library and churches are indoor stuff I can think of and in the one case you need to keep quiet so not great for socializing and in the other you have to follow wierd precepts or whatnot.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 6 days ago:
Yes. In my fathers time men would go there often for lunch and after work. I think some went home and then went over for an hour or two. Later it was still common but someone who did it all the time would be called a barfly but almost everyone did like friday night and pretty often thursday or saturday. Its diminished since and more and more bars have to sorta be restaurants or dance clubs or band venues.

30 years ago??? in 1995. That was a great market and boomers bought way before that.

yeah average means we have mcmansions now. Let me know when modal is up compared to inflation. Or average of the second and third quartile (rich is where most of it is at but poorest its to easy for it to rise without effectively doing anything for them)
