I genuinely think Rogan is diluted to think those things rather than think big picture and make nefarious recommendations. On the other hand though he does hock neutropic supplements, so it’s just confusing to put a label on him. He’s legit uneducated and just parrots smart statements sometimes.
I’ve been listening to Rogan since 2017ish and he has totally shifted rightward. I used to listen to every episode because it was usually either funny or informative. Now it’s preachy and just captured by right wing talking points that border on conspiracy theories. My takeaway is that he listens to his comedian friends instead of his more educated guests, which is a microcosm of America. His show is only as good as the guest and subject matter… Neil DeGrasse Tyson? Fantastic. Trump? Problematic. It just comes across that since he is now in the running to be a billionaire with good investing strategy, he is now switching his interests and views to match. If you recognize a guest, definitely listen, but skip over everything else.
33 as of last month. My father bought a windows 95 computer and bought me a bunch of reading software. Sure there were older educational reading software, but computers weren’t mass market until the mid 90s with windows 95 as far as I’ve read.
Came here to say this. I am one of the oldest people you’ll ever meet that learned how to read on a computer. My parents bought me reader rabbit in the mid 90s and I played the shit out of it lol.
I got within an extremely close distance to getting a Model Y this year during the price cuts; I secured the loan and was looking into the insurance costs which is what ultimately killed my decision.
My car is paid off and I only pay for gas (I have the Prius Aqua 2016, ~53mpg, 4.44L/100km)
When I looked into the Y, first of all they don’t allow you to get an insurance quote without first putting a down payment. If I had gone through with the purchase, I’d be looking at almost 570$/month on the car loan alone with the trade-in, plus another 140/month (I currently pay 80$/month, roughly) for insurance through my current company (this is only a ballpark figure based on me pulling a VIN number online and feeding it into a quote; that number could possibly be significantly higher). That puts my excess car expenses conservatively at 650$/month just for a new car. The literal only problems I have with my current car is that it can’t tow my horse trailer and that it’s a “dumb” petrol car with no infotainment and a physical key. I’m probably going to put a 12" iPad in the center console for infotainment and call it a day and keep that around for another 4 years until Apple CarPlay 2 trickles down to affordable EVs.
In summation, I really don’t think EVs are worth it unless you absolutely must buy a new car. There are new infotainment options on the horizon like Apple CarPlay 2 and Android Automotive with Android Auto as standard… right now is the literal worst time to buy a car. Not to mention that NACS is going to replace CCS in the USA in the 2026 model cars. Your resale value in the mid 2030s will be absolute dogshit if you don’t wait for the NACS port in next year’s cars.
I’m a cis-bi man married to a cis-gay man: I had to tell him to sit his ass on the toilet to piss because the area around the toilet was constantly filthy. I cannot believe still to this day how difficult it was to convince him why it is a good idea to just sit down to piss. If you cannot control the stream direction and shape perfectly when you piss (spoiler alert, you cannot), then sit down where you can spray the toilet bowl.
Same thing happened to me as OP. I had only my left side affected, and it literally felt like I was drunk on the left side of my body. It was (is) the most frustrating thing I’ve ever dealt with. I also have a terrible tinnitus in my left ear that’s starting to show up in my right ear.
I quit RuneScape in 2011ish after squeal of fortune introduced legacy loot. I’m sorry, but for a game that was all about 100% completion, making loot legacy and unobtainable if you didn’t gamble for it was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
designers are absolutely worth their degrees, the only problem is that they’re only really “useful” for the early UI design; they’re less important over time
I’ll just straight up say that the problem is with Microsoft more than anything else. Their UI design is abysmal. Nothing is consistent, nothing is smoothly animated, nothing is easily identifiable by its icon, nothing is glassy and good looking like Win7/macOS. Even in their peak design of Windows 7, they still had those awful legacy UI elements in system settings and the registry settings.
Even with multitouch trackpads being a thing on Windows now, there’s STILL not linear trackpad gestures as of 6 months ago when I played with the display units in the store.
Doctors are not individual practitioners and cannot normally decide to go off on their own doing a procedure that they were not specifically trained to do (doctors are trained in procedures during their residency and in CTE). Unless they are offered a course in this new method, the hospital would not authorize them to perform that new procedure. The best way to get this care would be to travel or to lobby the hospital to train staff on this new methodology.
I taught research methodology in oncology for 15.81$ in Arizona; work as a cowboy for 20/hour. It’s really bad here in AZ.
Nvidia cards are supported with the proprietary drivers; the game I play (Stepmania, OutFox) historically was without artifacts on nvidia systems. Nowadays, Wayland is moving forward, and nvidia is just behind on supporting it compared to AMD. According to this thread below you should be fine as long as you use nvidia drivers from version 560+.

Yeah, I’ve only worked in the US.
That’s what my employer offered I guess 🤷🏽♂️ when I was a university teacher I paid zero for deductibles but they took out like 100$ pre tax every month IIRC. Right before I quit they started charging for copays and I was pretty pissed.
I pay 9.79$/month for medical only, pre-tax, myself only on the plan, working for a mental healthcare nonprofit. My medical copays have been free lately for routine office visits. I have to get labs done 4 times a year for the meds I take and those have all been free so far. Because they’re classed as “preventative” to make sure nothing goes wrong with the meds, it’s free 🤷🏽♂️. Non preventative things have a 2000$ deductible, so I have to pay that much before medical care for the calendar year becomes free to me. That means that if I get sick in December, I have to pay 2000$to cover for December and again in January to cover for the next year.
Dental coverage is free. I pay 40$/visit as a copay for cleanings and all else (if I’m not in perfect health) I pay 30% of that bill. Recently I had periodontitis and my bill after treatment was 600$.
Small point here too: SMS used to be a paid plan option in the US. I never paid for an SMS plan because iMessage was free over data (I just wouldn’t receive texts from Android users). There was a good amount of time when iMessage was legitimately a great option.
The lack of CarPlay/Android Auto makes Tesla a non-starter
Idaho has the furthest inland port on the west coast at Lewiston, which would make Idaho not landlocked by that definition. The Great Lakes states should also not be considered landlocked then.
