About Hnrobert42

I try to be kind, honest, and fair. Sometimes, I can get a bit riled up by comments. I am sorry if I say something rude or snarky.

    This point is very useful to me. I consider myself a pretty good engineer and a not so good entrepreneur. Maybe I'm not so good at it because I find it far more interesting to thin…

    By my analogy, I meant that the author has chosen a hard road. They can be steadfast in their belief (one with which I am sympathetic), but the proof is all around them that things…

    That is an indisputably rough list, and I'm sorry that's your conclusion. It's tough being here and feeling powerless to stop it. Beyond voting, campaign donations, judicious choic…

    Isn't the US also approaching a peak? https://www.reuters.com/graphics/USA-POPULATION/AGING/gdpzao... There's so many ways to slice the data, I'm not sure there's an apples-to-appl…

    I feel for the author but they are the digital Amish driving a horse down a paved road.

    I'm confused by the US conservatives' full court press for fossil fuels and against wind/solar. I believe it's mostly about protecting existing money/power structures, but I don't …

    I urge people to not read this. Once you do, you will see all documentation will as the flawed and confusing mess it is. Ignorance is bliss!

    Where does it stop? Should it include edits with a digital camera? What about black and white? I'm not trolling. I'm thinking about how you practically define what you are proposin…

    Whoa! You don't know where they are from. Given time zones, it's likely they are from Europe

    FWIW, it works great in Firefox focus on an iPhone 16 Pro.

    Having made training videos, doing a voice recording is a huge pain in the ass. So easy to flub and have to edit or re-record. Hard to maintain even pace. I haven't tried AI genera…

    I console myself that this is why I never got fabulously wealthy. That brilliance is no guarantee of wealth. You need luck, too. But the truth is, you also need to do the work. I u…

    Yes! This is how you do humor. Demand precision. Dissect all the things!

    Do you believe the example given was evil? I believe they are wrong not evil. That's what I mean that I will not be a cynic.

    You mean like how you wrote "anti-White" and "black"? Ignorance and strong opinions is a bad combination.

    In all cases where I was presented with an unreasonable non-compete, I either negotiated it away or scratched it out before signing. I know not everyone has that luxury, but if you…

    I use Firefox Focus on mobile which blocks ads automatically. This was a cool site, so I thought it only fair to visit it with ads permitted. My god. I didn't even know autoplaying…
