Can we not use "official" for mods? Or can we at least include "mod" somewhere in the title?

Please? This is the second one of these posts that has crushed my hopes that Bethesda isn't completely shit this decade.

It hurts kinda bad if it's properly done. Otherwise it just tickles.

Almost like those two things are linked

I was also a fan back in those days too, I didn't start listening to cortex or subscribe to Patreon until 2020ish, but I've been subscribed at least since the AI video, probably since "humans need not apply". I won't deny that his content flavor has changed, but he has adapted to the new YouTube dynamic pretty well.

Wow I don't remember this at all, honestly I don't remember him having a gap longer than 8 months between video releases. Are you sure it was him?

His recent (ish) stuff is amazing imo. SHARKS! and the Tiffany companion video are my two favorites by far.

Which is why the German bubble is popping.

I think this is the best answer. Just because magnetism is not visible doesn't make it magic. The source of the forces doesn't change where those forces go. A lot of these perpetual motion machines can be simplified to a situation that makes intuitive sense.

Technically it's just the caffeine. So you could have decaf in heaven.

That's more or less what drove me away from religion.

You're telling me an all knowing, all powerful god has a plan that involves children OD'ing on the baggies of drugs their "guardian" made them swallow, just so that heroin could get from point A to point B? Or a plan that involves a newborn baby being born with it's heart outside it's chest, so it will immediately rupture and bleed to death?

I don't think housing will ever be cheap again. It's been too over-consolidated and the game of corporate monopoly has already started. Unless we get strong regulations about how much housing property a person or company can own, we are stuck high housing prices.

No one gonna mention anything about how that dude is lucky to be alive? Holy shit I thought this was going to be a different kind of video.

I'm still constantly weirded out by Destin when he talks about anything relating to personal life. Gives me "creepy preacher that beats his children for not saying yes sir" vibes

Glad she is doing better and has a very supportive spouse.

I think it's important to consider why you think this. Try and explain what makes someone stupid.

I do tend to agree with the general statement that most people are pretty fucking stupid. If IQ were a meaningful number of intelligence, I'd wager that it's heavily skewed left. Meaning that the common saying of "think of how stupid the average person and realize half of all people are below that" is even worse when you use the median.

For me, what makes someone stupid is lack of curiosity, lack of drive to learn, and lack of critical thinking. I think stupidity is a learned trait, and our modern society is doing its damnedest to make sure children learn it as soon as possible. Never question authority, you only need to memorize so you can pass the test, and you will be spoon fed the information.

Then soon as you get out of school, you have to get a job and occupy most of your time with work or sleep, you'll likely get only two-three hours of time to yourself each day, meaning you'll lack the time to break out of the cycle. And the system compounds at most jobs. Your manager is likely stupid, meaning they want you to never question authority, just do what they tell you, and ask them very little questions.

I also think the trillions of dollars that are spent on advertising strongly influences this. And being constantly bombarded with psychological manipulation encourages stupidity.

I also think stupidity is compounding in and of itself. The less you know, the more you can just make hasty assumptions, then use those assumptions as fact for your next set of assumptions.

It's also contagious. Being around people who are less stupid than yourself makes you feel bad, so you aren't around them much or encourage them to join you in being stupid.

There is a massive difference between not knowing something, and choosing to not know something. Just about every person in the world has access to the greatest source of information that has ever been created. There are free courses on just about every topic you could ever desire to learn, fingertips away.

There is also a massive difference between knowing something and rote memorization. Being able to follow the logical chain of facts is very important, so is being able to critically think about a topic. I think being "bored" is great at combatting stupidity in this way. Spending time with no stimulation is great for engaging your brain in actual thoughts. Consider dedicating time to just thinking: no audiobooks, music, podcasts, video games, movies, TV shows, social media, books etc. Just sit and be bored for a while. Meditation is a great entry into this.

You've just made me realized this. In every hotel I have ever been in, even ones which have cost upwards of $600/night, I have never seen a bathroom with a window.

If you have to try to be straight, I've got news for you.

Oh absolutely. I still go back for the occasional check-in with my favorite small communities. But I basically never browse /r/all or any of the top subreddits that used to keep me coming back multiple times per day.

To be fair, both sites are pretty much gaping shit holes at this point.

Except they were generating zero revenue during the time they were closed. That is pretty close to a fine.

I do also think they should be fined for preventing a union from forming, but having them pay back wages would be more of a fine than most places would be fined because there are basically no penalties for this kind of behavior.

This is a good tool for visualizing your raid needs from your capacity and total number of drives.

I'll preface that I'm no raid expert, just a nerd that uses it occasionally.

The main benefit of most raid configurations is the redundancy they provide. If you lose one drive, you do not lose any data. It's kinda obvious how you can have 1:1 redundancy, you just have an exact copy of the drive. But there are ways to split data into three chunks so that you can rebuild the data from any two chunks, and 5 chunks so that you can loose and two chunks. Truly understand how raid does this could easily be an entire college course.

Raid 0 is the exception. All it does is "join together" a bunch of drives into one disk. And if you lose an individual disk you likely will lose most of your data.

Another big difference is read/write speed. From my understanding, every raid configuration is slower to read and write than if you were using a single drive. Each raid configuration is varying levels of slower than the "base speed"

I typically use raid 5 or 6, since that gives some redundancy, but I can keep most of my total storage space.

The main thing in all of this is to keep an eye on drive health. If you lose more drives than your array can handle, all of your data is gone. From my understanding, there is no easy way to get the data off a broken raid array.
