I'm sure ADHD medications / antidepressants / GLP-1s are huge drivers.

Visual disturbance. I get a blind spot near the center of my vision that looks a bit like what you see when you rub your closed eyes. It gets large enough to mostly obscure faces a…

Did you try Excedrin? It has some caffeine in it. It does seem to be especially helpful relative to just Tylenol for me as a migraine sufferer. Specifically for helping to disperse…

I swore off energy drinks in high school after someone brought a case of them on the bus to a football game and I drank one and got horrible diarrhea and had to shit in the woods a…

Yeah, the real problem with Red Bull is that it's caffeine-spiked Gatorade. So you're drinking to satisfy cravings but also just because you're thirsty.

As a coffee drinker the "bizarrely addictive" comment does not resonate with me at all. I don't really have trouble keeping myself to, like, 1.2 coffees a day. I can't imagine drin…

Well, to be honest, a cleaning service is a much more logical purchaser for a cleaning robot. Since you can truck it all over creation, work it 60 hours a week, and undercut all th…

They might have other objective functions like wear-and-tear on the elevators, total energy usage, or something

2500 finished square feet in a MCOL east coast metro (Baltimore). Wondering if you're closer to the southern border or something.

Similar here for 2500 finished sq ft.

I mean, a twice-monthly house-cleaning service is running you ballpark 5k/year and people treat that shit as non-negotiable. I tried to claw back that line item after our second ba…

Yeah, I mean, I know it exists, but the mythology of Lisp is built around "I can drop into a REPL and execute arbitrary code on a production system and that is a good thing"

> Personally I think/hope they would have earlier discoveries / more broad usage of the deterministic systems like nix etc, which are built upon functional principles of immutabili…

It's a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" variant, I think. "Temporarily embarrassed parent of a future doctor".

When I noticed them they were covered in wasp pupae, so maybe that slowed them down. I'm in the Eastern US, btw.

That’s definitely the premise Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time haha

Finding hawk moth caterpillars on my tomato plant was one of the bigger wtfs of my adult life

To be clear I think this is fine! It’s rare to have leverage over capital (if indeed they do). Milk it!

Also ironic given that emacs with a LSP server is more than capable of slowing a dev machine to a crawl

Profits are high and bills are high it’s not that deep.

I don’t think “fuck you I’ve got mine” is an apt characterization of people struggling to afford their heating bill.

It also doesn't necessarily matter if the data centers actually raise electricity rates. Regardless of whether or not they do, you can block their construction and try to horse-tra…

Data centers are conflated with rising energy costs. It's partly about people's nominal objections, but mostly an attempt to hold them hostage to extract some energy bill subsidies…

You're not getting it into an urban brownfield unless it comes with price controls on energy. I live amongst the urban brownfields of Baltimore and our politicians are under tons o…

I think the main strength of the AI is just that its schedule is not a constraint. Anyone can get a decision now-ish, without filtering through tiers of middle management.
