Back in the 90ies my uncle always got a book for the car hee owned which would explain how to disassemble it.

But me and my dad never bothered with the book, just got to work on it and figured it out on the go. The biggest thing I replaced in my car was the whole Chassis.

But yeah in the new cars there is less mechanical stuff and more electronics so it’s getting difficult.

The only place I can think off was YouTube, or if you can find a book like my uncle always had: https://onlymanuals.com/volkswagen/passat/volkswagen_passat_b3_workshop_manual_passat_b3

Perhaps it’s time to find better hobbies? It’s a chore and difficult because you don’t know what you like/don’t like before you try it for some time.

Independent of finding girls it’s also good for your own psyche to get away from the screen. And if it has to be gaming perhaps you can find people who are into board games?

Yes, but I guess you need to have luck in the dating game independent of what method you use. Somehow in the end it’s a time and numbers game.

Yeah, that’ll be difficult then …

No, the only international one I knew which was Tinder.

It depends. For years I had either no or bad matches at home, always the same people showing up there, etc…

But then one day while on a business trip abroad I installed a new app, payed the fee (for some reason, normally I never did) and matched with the most amazing person who made me move half way across the globe for her and now almost four years later we still live together, have a 1.5 years old son and plan finally to marry (there were some practical problems we had to fix first).

For me it worked out, but that’s survival bias I guess.

The thing is that compared to other historical people we kid of have similar evidence. Like we have records of Socrates existing and we have records of some Joshua existing.

The difference is that nobody claims that Socrates was a fantastical god being who defied death, which is a extraordinary claim, we just say he was a very smart guy, we se very smart guys on a daily basis, nothing special with that so we can just believe it and even if we are wrong it has no real life implications.

For the Joshua guy, that’s quite a different story. The claims about him are extraordinary and need extraordinary evidence. But we only have normal evidence. If the claims about him were true it would contradict almost everything we think we know about the universe, how it behaves, etc.

So again, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Venture capital.

Oh for real, I had to throw it away after one year and I got a used ThinkPad instead.

If I’m honest I have no idea what would be a open ended question. I asked yesterday how people learned a new language because I’m struggling with it and wanted to see how other people do it. But that doesn’t seem like a open ended question and would not be allowed?

Interesting, actually I basically never go to McDonalds, so I didn’t realize it.

McRib

I’m just a vehicle to my genes which they use to travel to the future. They only can travel when they have a suitable host who can reproduce them and can make sure that the next version has the best chances to reproduce again. So over time natural selection optimized for the vehicles to want to reproduce. Everyone who didn’t have the desire to have kids in the past has none (other than rape victims) to move their genes forward.

Anyway this is a extreme oversimplification of the whole idea of The Selfish Gene

Having kids, that is the only way my genes can live on. But even having step or adopted kids is preferable.

It just brings so much joy as nothing else.

But Firefox has a installation base of 2.8% and Chrome 65%. The Firefox uBlock Origin installations are in my opinion statistically insignificant, so are Brave browser installations which are even lower.

uBlock Origin for Chrome has over 34 million installations according to the Chrome Web Store

Oh wow, that is very surprising to me. I somehow expected a billion of installations. Especially when I saw the screenshots without it in the article, how can anyone browse the web without it?

For me it’s the exact opposite, most of them have the possibility to change the language to English, even though it’s only partially translated I still can see the pictures of what I’m trying to order. If I need to look at the Korean menu and then speak Korean to the person to order, then I would just go away, especially if they don’t have pictures on the menu.

For me it’s use 10/10 (even the crappy ones)

I think those kiosks with the big touch screen and the mobile apps work pretty well already, I always rather use them and see a picture what I can order instead of talking to the person.

I think it is.

-You can arrange communities it topics
- you can show community posts as å wall of thumbnails, nice for memes
- shows user reputation
- you can hide posts from searches
- moderation tools (there are more)
- you can post videos and polls
- better integration with PeerTube
- keyword filters

But it doesn’t have an API for 3rd parties

Like he said at the end, nobody is reading the garbege.

I think is something g is written by AI the only way to read it is to make another AI to read it and summerize it. Then you still can decide to read the summary or not.
