What a flock of raging assholes. How did they justify forcing working conditions like that on you that you clearly did not want? Did they offer any excuse for doing that?

Is this more of an ADHD thing, or an ASD thing?
I don’t like bright overhead lights, either. I was diagnosed ADHD at the tender age of 56.
Yes. I’ve been told that by cops in prior years.
That said, things have improved enormously in the last 10 years. There is a vibrant downtown area, and fairly large pockets of redevelopment around it, with safe(-ish) and affordable housing.
As a Detroiter, I think I really need to watch this.
I think most Americans like the idea of public transport, and including a robust national rail network. The reason it doesn’t exist are the oil and automotive lobbies. (Mostly oil.). Poorly educated Americans (the ones wearing MAGA hats) are easy to manipulate by these groups, as well.
Say hvad again. I double dog dare you!
Enough that I can code in pretty much anything. I think the typing point was when I coded professionally in my 4th or 5th language some time in the early 90s.
I’ve tried paid versions of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. I am currently using Gemini, and it is working reasonably well for me.
I mostly use it to replace searches. I haven’t used Google in years, but mainly relied on DuckDuckGo until SEO made it less useful. My secondary use case is for programming. I tend to jump around to a lot of different languages and frameworks, and it’s hugely helpful to get sample code describing what I want to do when I don’t know the syntax.
Once in a great while, I will have it rewrite something for me. That is mostly for inspiration if I want to change the tone of something I wrote (then I’ll edit). I think that all of the LLMs suck at writing.
I would love to understand this better. I have worked in power generation before (writing maintenance software for a nuclear plant, so I picked up a few things). I don’t understand the distribution side at all, though.
Can you suggest a book or article on the subject?
Renewables are an important part of the mix, but seems like nuclear is more important right now. It’s the best way to move industry away from coal and gas in the long run, though it’s something we in the US should have started on 30 years ago.
I’m aware that nuclear power has it’s own set of complications, but they’re more solvable than reducing emissions without it
I think that we’re talking about the same thing. When I read those articles curated by Google news in my mobile browser, I have never, not once, had audio play. Maybe try Firefox mobile?
The video (you can skip to the last five or 10 minutes of it to get the gist of what I’m talking about) says that the discrepancy isn’t unexplained. It’s point is that the different models depend on a large number of variables, and one of those variables is the size and brightness of the first generation of stars in the early universe. Tweaking that part of the model can explain the discrepancy. (According to the video.)
Interesting. I use Google News as well, and I have never had audio play. I tend to use it on mobile, and my default browser on mobile is Firefox. Specifically Firefox in private browser mode, so I don’t have to worry about cookies.
I use Firefox on the desktop as well, but not usually in private mode. I also don’t ever have video autoplay that way. I’m not sure why. I don’t think I installed any extensions to turn it off, but I might have tweaked the browser settings shortly after installing.
Thanks for creating it!
That’s kinda hilarious. I was looking for cannabis related communities too. Believe it or not, I haven’t had any cannabis today, either. 😄
I’d use Lemmy Explorer to find communities that interest you. The link I just shared is sorted by subscriber count, so it should show the most active communities at the top.
I tap them and blow on them before I put them back into their case. In case there are any little ear wax flakes. I don’t tend to have much in the way out of ear wax.
As a kid in Detroit? Distant gunfire, most summer nights.
Now as an adult in the suburbs? Usually a fan, because my wife prefers that and I don’t mind.
