“Sure, this sounds great. Sign me up under this new address outside the US.”

Would this not work for them to cancel the contract?

Yeah, I had to rewatch Season 1, because I didn’t get hooked the first time. Afterwards I think it gets much better.

At this point I feel averse effects after 1-2L of beer (stomach cramps sometimes at less) or three glasses of wine or more than two cocktails.

So it’s relatively easy to get beyond this when it’s a longer event like a BBQ or a night out.

I like my no BS ISP that allows me to use any retail router matching their specs. One thing I just don’t have to worry about.

Any place that is worried about its IP being leaked? I work in tech and almost every employer had some kind of restrictive camera and cellphone policy.

Many places already do this with cellphones. It shouldn’t be different for such glasses. Using recording equipment is rarely appropriate in a workplace.

I actually like to drink but especially beer can give me really bad stomach cramps. Not always, but often enough that I rarely risk it. Also my sleep quality is suffering after drinking and with age I no longer can afford bad sleep. Honestly I’m not sure how people after 30 manage to drink regularly. Even though I’m a fit and healthy person, alcohol just affects me too much to be a regular and enjoyable part of my life.

I get it can be “relaxing” in some ways, but having to recover from alcohol the day(s) after makes it a very inefficient way of relaxation.

Here in Europe wine and beer producers are starting to panic. Representatives are seriously arguing against WHO recommendations (some of them have been doing this since COVID) and the lobbies are very aggressively trying to go against any health promoting legislation that could go against them.

The bigger producers also start to release light or non alcoholic versions of their drinks to capture the growing non-alcoholic market segment.

Yes, it’s good, and we see the industry adapting and fighting for profits.

The name is funny, but he’s a former oil lobbyist heading the department of traffic and the environment. So it’s not been so fun the last few years if you cared for the environment.

Yes, nobody cares. You only notice when some foreign president visits or something and there’s like the minister of home affairs shaking their hand. She got no business doing that in her role as department head but I guess she’s the president for this year so it’s one of her duties.

Maybe I’m jus becoming an old grumpy man, but teens these days seem completely oblivious to their surroundings. More so than I ever remember. For sure, not every teenager, but the ones I see standing cluelessly in front of busy exits, don’t understand how to stand in line, how to pass gates in airports, how to be less obnoxious… are so often teenagers these days. Probably better that way as we completely fucked their future.

Solarpunk instead of Cyberpunk!

And we gotta be negative. Net 0 is a nice milestone on the way to build a future for our children.

Unknown temperature extremes? We knew about climate change for much longer. And France’s nuclear reactors have an average age of less than 40 years.

My favorite episode. They had memories like sieves because they could look up everything and every single interaction.

You can be sure the providers will make sure they’re not legally responsible and that the system prompt has been reviewed by the Legal Dept. So it’s you, the user.

Can it help me topple the system?

You see it with code too. Constant refactoring, adding states to enums when they aren’t necessary, “beautifying” the code by adding useless checks, tests etc. The worst is when you got concurrency: focusing extremely on keeping protected sections small it keeps unnecessarily adding temporary variables, shared pointers etc. It’s so afraid of locks and data races the boilerplate for concurrency grows and grows.

Reviewing such code is a pain. I feel like just adding comments like “why are you doing this” “justify this” “what does this have to do with your objective” and let my coworkers figure it out.

Congrats!

How are you going to end 100 years of humiliation if you all behave so embarrassingly? R/solarpunk was full of poor attempts to green wash China. Why should we accept the same on Lemmy?
