I'd say qualitatively and quantitatively, this system is a scam. I get up and deliver by getting myself into interesting shit that matters no matter who's writing the check (excluding Raytheon or any of those other psycho motherfuckers).

Energy security is important, particularity environmentally compatible forms.

Medical services that don't bankrupt people are important.

Making processes easier is important even it comes to reducing/eliminating waste.

Even the seemingly mundane 'basic research' has a lot of interesting caveats buried below the surface.

Find what interests you in this one life you have, do the work to get there, make friends with people who want you to get there (and help them too).

Good luck, fuck capitalism.

Yes. How to keep the humidity sensor clean and accurate over time may be tricky though.

Even if you miss the meta humor here, the sudden change in speed/tone of the strip at the end is kinda hilarious in its own right.

Dunno, these 4 panels have so much interesting... Energy? At play beneath the surface. Starts fast, silly and familiar, you think you know where it's going mid stream, and bang! Hobbes says the thing that shatters the whole flow that you yourself bought into!

She could be a dominatrix, no sex necessary.

Dude, seriously. The only time I genuinely had a problem with a server that being kind & trying to talk couldn't resolve, I politely told the manager I wasn't comfortable being there, paid for my drink and canceled the food order.

No need to make a big deal out of it, and once you get on a server's bad side, fuck it.

I really wish there was a way to run microG with graphene. I don't want google binaries on my pixel at all if I can avoid it.

Till then, Calyxos with microG is privacy respecting but likely won't resist feds trying to get at your data. If you're just looking for strongly improved privacy and some moderately improved security, Calyx is pretty nice.

I've tried to kick the side rear window out in a taxi driver fainting situation, it's really not trivial, particularly if you're the only one in the back.

Buddy, it says 2018 right in the title.

Just note this whole thing for next time and I hope you learn from it. People will repost old material sometimes just to remind what happened under previous circumstances, not limited to politics.

You see something crazy, look into it a little bit, you're already on the internet, what's another couple of minutes to get some closure?

If the original papers are niche enough, it's all but guaranteed..

Google Pay alternative?

Hey there, I'm looking for an alternative to Google pay that'll allow me to use NFC payments etc. Thoughts?

I don't have a Google account, nor am I interested in opening one.

E: Just to clarify, the payment part would be convenient, more annoying is how I don't get to use a single place for my subway/gym/ticketmaster passes.

Some interesting ideas on reducing the time to decrypt certain ciphered info, in spite of axolotl's large key-size.
