I mean, it’s kinda true. A rocket just makes fire which expands and pushes whatever it burns out to make it go fast. You got the fire, the fire pushes things away from whatever you’re burning and the rest is just optimisation.

If you manage to make a helium balloon that floats in the air, attach a burning log fire to the bottom of it and enclose it in a way that the air intake is on the top and outlet is on the bottom you’ve made an engine that you just need to aim with a ballast weight.

Still wrong, but you were onto something.

I feel like I’ll be prepared later on but I’m fully expecting to not be ready when the time comes.

I’m an autistic male and for me expressing myself in general is a bit awkward. During tough times I really liked expressing it to my friends and siblings since it’s a decent way to process the feelings.

nzb360 that I got a perpetual license for at 10eur. It’s so easy and convenient to torrent stuff for my Jellyfin.

Niagara launcher is free but I paid for the perpetual license. It’s a third party launcher that I really like.

I’m also a Jetbrains fan depending on the language, they have so much support for everything just out of the box and are on Linux.

Also games, but I guess people don’t want to hear those here. Factorio was definitely worth.

Could be solved that way, I personally don’t participate in it.

I’m really bad at spending stuff on myself also. I like prioritising paying back loans, buying stock and so on since it pays itself back later on.

The way I look at it is that the less I spend on luxuries the less I have to work (currently and in retirement) so I don’t feel weird about it.

Another rule of thumb is to delay purchases by 3 months and it doesn’t set back your financial goals. If you’ve been wanting this Macbook now for 3 months and you have the money for it and you feel comfortable with your current financial situation I’d tell you to get it. If it’s an expensive car it’s a financial catastrophy usually so don’t get it even if you’ve wanted it for 3 months.

No idea if that helps but don’t feel weird about being frugal. Frugality is incredibly useful and can set you up for an easy life.

No, I wait 3 years usually. All bugs fixed, everything works, mods in great shape and price down 50%. Plenty of games older than 3 years also and much lower hardware requirements.

I made an exception for Elden Ring last time but that’s about it.

Can’t ban chemtrails but you can reduce contrails which play a weirdly large part in warming up the planet irrespective of fuel consumed.

Just putting the word out for an underrated climate thingy.

Coffee and beer, my two favorite drinks

I would love to hear a single policy from the heritage foundation that’s actually a good idea.

I see, it’s about flying under the radar if you’re up to something illegal. That makes a lot of sense for something like having weed in the car.

I treat a serious prod issue as annoying because it is.

Can someone provide a couple of practical examples?

I figured there has to be someone that likes it.

I think the default styling of browsers is pretty neat in a lot of cases and I hate animations. Layouts, spacing and grouping are the things that actually provide value.

Instead of a fancy popup with a cart contents the button should just say “Adding 1 item…” and “Added” for 2 seconds.

I hate infinite scrolls, especially when there’s stuff like opening hours at the bottom of the page. Just give me a “Show more” button and preload the content.

My dream world would be that styling would only be about layout and the rest is up to the user’s theme.

The best app

Up arrow on top of a cloud, I think that one is standard now

I think the download icons will become synonymous with saving. It’s functionally the same, move thingy to a location on your computer.

It connects it to another computer symbol, the folder which is seen plenty of times as the thing containing files. It’s a solid solution.
