As a young American, how do I motivate myself to work? It feels like the entire system is a scam and it's pointless to even try.
  • 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.

  • But yes.
  • There are some fusion designs that use direct energy conversion.

    Some work went into fission designs as well.

  • 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!

  • Inflation
  • I just steal it.

  • I honestly think my daughter is an escort. Am I going too far?
  • She could be a dominatrix, no sex necessary.

  • Who was the biggest Karen you have encountered in Public?
  • 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.

  • Finch Fry rule
  • Love me some crispy fries, lotta salt for the little guys.

    Anything is fuel, but if you have fruits as well, definitely better as a snack for them (and for you too) 😉

  • Graphene vs LineageOS what's the diff?
  • 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.

  • Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash
  • 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.

  • Wife of former Marine to be deported to Mexico Friday, after 20 years in U.S. (2018)
  • 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?

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

  • Fighter jets?

    Anyone else hear these jets? They're zipping, and how.

    E: Blue Angels doing some practice.

    Stuck between an XSR900 or a z900rs

    Anyone have input here?

    I'm trying to decide which I like, yammie noob had a cool vid comparing the two with the xsr seemingly on top, but spec-wise, the z900 should be wild. I'm aware there are tune and exhaust kits to wake the undertuned z900 up.

    I like spirited riding, but mostly on straights as I roar off to a campsite in the mountains. What do you folks think?

    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.

    Who kicks a sparkplug??

    What a way to start the day. Had a spare, so it added a few minutes to my morning. Carefully cleaned the dust from around the plug, swapped, started and rode.

    NBD, but what the fuck?

    Seattle cheat code 2: the cheating-ing

    Seattle feels like a cheat code for this community

    Exploring the city, it feels both dark and somehow inviting. New experience for sure.

    Wish I could figure out how to attach multiple photos in voyager.

    Gluten free?

    Hey everyone, does anyone know how to make gluten free bread that might be as soft and fluffy as that previously posted Japanese milk bread appears to be?

    Salton sea restoration effort is allocated $70 million by the Biden-Harris administration

    So, after watching "Plagues and pleasures on the Salton sea" (available on YouTube for free), I decided to look into what was happening to it.

    Looks like we actually may help with restoration. But what does that mean, where are we getting the water for it? Will that money actually get to us?

    Q: examples of guy's alt?

    Hey there, Looking for some inspiration for guys getups. Lots of sites like dollskill etc have really limited options for dudes (but that's the case generally).

    Thanks for any ideas you'd be kind enough to share!

    Anyone ride in Seattle?

    How's the weather up there for riding? Not afraid of water, just careful with it.

    Prusa MK3s+, PETG and a 0.6 nozzle

    Hey everyone.

    I built an mk3s+ from its kit form successfully, tested a few PLA prints with the stock 0.4 nozzle.

    I've set prusaslicer to use a 0.6 nozzle now that I've upgraded, and am using PETG. Prints look pretty bad, in spite of calibrating z-offset etc.

    If you were doing something like this for the first time, what would your setup steps be like?

    To be specific, using a diamondback 0.6 nozzle, matterhackers PETG at 235c.

    Issues I'm seeing are a really bad loss of detail, lots of stringing, etc.

    eta: added a photo of a moderately post-processed part. Notice how rough the top surface looks, there's a disconnect between perimeter loops, etc.
