I thought it was obvious, 2026 is going to be the year of the Linux desktop.

Only good way to get a house by age 30 is to become a plumber, electrician or other type of job that pays well with minimal study and save up while living at parents or sharing a flat with 3 mates.

Then you need to save heavily and invest in stocks and/or bonds with the saved money so you can beat inflation. With around 30k saved per year it’s possible to get pretty early onto the property ladder.

Going to college and living somewhere in NYC for example will get you nowhere close to 30k a year with student debt and if you have a kid you’re screwed.

Wizard of Oz sepia “filter” fits in here?

I’m also going to in honesty pick Brazil (1985). It still holds up really well.

I really want to see a blockade on the shadow fleet. They don’t even have insurance if they spill the oil in EEZ of countries they’re passing through. It would be a major blow to Russia.

Yeah, with Putin’s approval at 80% it’s hard to see a civil war happening any time soon.

Also remember the ~~shinobi tournament ~~ school shooting.

Download a picture from the Internet, move it to the desktop with the file explorer only. Then print it out.

I was in the same boat until I started running. It’s very nice to monitor heart rate so you can stick to a target heart rate.

When it goes on sale 5 years later probably

Musakhan, a Palestinian onion pizza topped with 1/4 chicken.

If the argument is fair and both parties are open then I think I could win an argument that exercise is crucial for a long and healthy life.

I really liked the first AC game but when I played Odyssey I was disappointed. Beautiful game, fun mini-games, nice subsystems like upgrading the ship and whatnot. After the initial couple of hours I started to feel like everything is a chore.

Need a map? No way to buy, you have to run/ride and climb the chore tower.

Want to use equipment? Grind chore for the XP to meet the level requirement.

Want to beat a quest handed to you early? Grind XP

Want to complete side quests? All of the boilerplate fetch/kill quests.

Just please, give me a starting weapon that’s good enough and I can just stealth kill my way through the main quest. Also, just allow me to buy the map.

That’s fair, but looking at papers is not really a good entry point for people getting into skills specifically. For information the GOAT it’s always Wikipedia but skills is trickier.

Getting into car repairs, plumbing, woodworking and more can be done with YouTube and is frequently recommended by people in the trades.

Getting into running is and weightlifting is also pretty good with YouTube since you have “Göran Winblad” physio and a running coach which does some quality content and “House of hypertrophy” is just weightlifting research news and he makes sure to mention caveats, holes in the research etc.

Notably bad examples are programming and guitar playing which offer close to no value in my opinion but I’ve heard some people have had success with it. However when you get into music theory YouTube becomes good again.

So in general LLM for basic info on what exists, YouTube for some examples on how to do it but the other >90% should always be practice.

Being hot and horny does it for me.

Google is bad now but we have more powerful tools than Google ever was. LLMs are good for an overview of whatever skill or research you’re doing as long as it’s a common skill.

Then you have YouTube which takes some navigating but there are a lot of YouTubers that cover recent papers and studies in a field they have a degree in.

Those two together can pretty much give you a road map towards learning a skill. I’d personally avoid all short form videos since explanations will either be oversimplified and they “give you the fish” instead of teaching you how to fish.

Anything Warhammer 40k. The universe and the lore are amazing because they absorbed a lot of SciFi elements from literature. The games have often been underwhelming but when they’re good they’re really good.

Also what that he gets his news from Xitter and Alex Jones.

I remember some things kinda clearly because they had a big impact on me. It was something that was unfair, I seriously misunderstood something, I was afraid or something else. I used to actively recall my life every now and then but haven’t done it in the last decade.

Some people do journal though so they can read the entries, get the vibes and crank out a biography story by going over context, delivering the story, then aftermath thoughts.

Only one way to save them. Write a diary or a mini biography. Just pick some stories you like and write them down and they become permanent.

We need more Linux phones
