Yeah, this whole list is kind of nuts. Burritos already get mass produced in factories. Those prepackaged ones at the grocery store? Some brands have people hand making them but quite a few are machine made and rolled. It's not a very big stretch to put that kind of machinery into a restaurant, and 2 techs is about the same price as 4 $20/hr works by their estimate

My partner and I stopped into a liquor store down the street, and he asked for a specific drink he likes. They said "we don't carry that, do you live nearby?" We told em we were just up the hill and the mfer ordered them on the spot so they could stock it for us

Pretty sure KDE connect can handle this, but I haven't played with the notifications portion of it much

PedantryMint required you to go and enable flatpak support, but it discusses that in the initial "setting up" GUI thing

I think this is an ESH situation. Fandom sucks for pushing their poison, Google sucks for drinking it

I'm not entirely sure if it uses Unicode, ASCII or something else...

I think I remember Automate the Boring Stuff with Python explaining that python uses ASCIIbetical order, but it's been a minute since I read that book

I have much the same issue, when I can I like to wear jackets that have inside pockets to deal with it. Barring that, back pocket > front pocket > extra pockets IME

Sure, but if you're working 50 hours a week (assuming US, I dunno laws elsewhere) you're guaranteed 2.5 hours of mealtime per week that could be spent watching an informational video or reading an article.

I'm not saying "go back to school or you're wasting your time" I'm saying "you have a few minutes where you could be reading a new idea instead of sitting on social media"

You're injecting malice into my words. The point was "if you have the mental space for it, you should spend your time learning because it helps reduce stress by being both cathartic and relieving issues in your life"

No.

Yes.

Everyone has the time, not everyone has the priorities (this isn't a dig, it's a reference to some inspirational speech I heard in high school). 50 hour work week and 56 hours of sleep leaves 62 hours in the week. Probably another 12 hours split across 7 days for cooking, eating, etc. which leaves 50 hours to recover, study, exercise, or do whatever she pleases.

She values using those 50 hours to recover from the 50 working hours more than learning a new concept. That's not invalid or wrong in any way, everyone has their priorities and values and they're allowed to do whatever they want with their time.

That being said, everyone has the time they just might not have the mental space. But increasing your human capital by learning something new is often a great way of reducing stress. Learn to handle something in a new way, learn a little about financial theory, learn something that helps you at work. The best weapon you have against the injustice of daily life is knowledge. If you have the mental space, find the time to learn something

ETA: Coming from the perspective of a full time student who spends 6+ hours daily searching for a job because I've been down on my luck since quitting a year ago. I grew up poor and watched my mom work full time, put herself through school, raise three kids, and continues to fight every day for the right to live; I know the struggle you're going through right now. Spend your time better than I did.

I would agree, except for the continue studying. Everyone has at least 20 minutes of downtime that they could put towards learning a new concept every day
