I get your point but I question the value of a hobbyists research vs that of a scientists. Documenting beetles as a hobby may mean jotting down their shape and color while a scientist would dissect the thing and index their internal organs. Not saying a hobbyist wont do that, but it will be restrictive to do so. It may require education or special equipment and in the end, will still be less credible work unless published in the same scientific fashion scientists are accustomed to. Fact is, we don’t mind coloring outside the lines in a hobby. I may be wrong here but the areas hobbyists can usefully contribute to are few, so we opt to studying digital worlds instead.

My first thought exactly. To do so, we must bend space itself? We’d need a wormhole.

Just remember: a medical doctors opinion on why your car broke down is less valuable than a mechanics opinion.

Relatively easy fix though. Get away from advertiser supported platforms and use community supported ones.

I once went on a role playing server and it had really nice people on there. Everything was civilized too, they had police officers walking around lol.

If its good enough, the news of it will get to me eventually and I will see for myself.

This is how I live now.

This is what it means to be old.

I’m 34.

Good old Maslow. This is correct. The first two require money. As a single person without children, I’ve generally got the first two covered. I can not cover the third and I also feel like any amount of money will not help me either. This is why people with money say you cant buy happiness… because it is presumably at the top of this pyramid when you achieve it all.

So whats the scam?

Imo too high power consumption for 24/7 operation so I wouldn’t use it that way. If I only had this machine to work with, i’d probably use it as a media server or NAS but turn it on only as needed. Wake on LAN to turn it on and configure it to auto turn off.

Not op, and any Marxist feel free to step in, but 100% tax is technically communism. And I mean full final stage communism where money no longer exists. If income is taxed at 100%, then money no longer needs to exist since… well you never really see it. The tax is spent on everything. You work if you can and everything that can be, is provided for you. Purely from an economic point of view. This is though an ideal and something that would need to be worked towards over long periods of time.

Get a job in the forest industry and you’ll be: exercising daily and getting ripped. Sisyphus has a job, it is pushing a boulder up a hill for eternity. Personally, I’d go nuts because I crave mental stimulation.

He can do 20 more years. Weekend at Bernies is also possible. No crazy scheme is off the table in today’s America. Trump may also just be laying out the red carpet for some even crazier lunatic. Maybe hereditary dictatorship? Elon? Nothing is off the table at this point. Fuck me and the bleak possible future.

Even when you removed the french language pack?

Same thing here. I’ve been using “everything” for long enough to know not to trust… anything… an app is going to get the best discount available for me? Yeah, we’ll just see about that. I just wasnt ever going to not search for coupons myself, so I removed it.
