I mean, your associated quote does very much advocate trading hours of your time just to survive, so I'm not really sure how to reconcile it with your caption on the image.

They were always like this, you're just getting older and smarter and you can see through the packaging and the branding and the propaganda better now.

I mean, I'm sure you can name a half dozen or so people from the 1400s. I highly doubt anyone will remember me personally as one of those half dozen people, but I'm fairly certain that with the advances in technology the average people of the year 2625 will be dimly aware of closer to a dozen people alive today.

Plus you get to be one of the letters in the acronym! Lots of people disagree on which letters to use, but everyone puts a b for bisexual in there.

I am sorry but I simply cannot accept food categorization advice from someone who classifies bread as a condiment. Please, educate yourself about what a condiment actually is: https://www.hilobrow.com/2010/09/07/de-condimentis-1/

They always have good points because I am a smart person and those voices are my voices?

I hate to say it, but I agree with mtg here. Cascasdia now!

Y’all must not remember being children. I have my own money. I get to decide on my wardrobe and hair style without asking anyone. I watch what I want on tv. I organize my own time, I choose who gets to be in my life, I wear my pajamas whenever I want, I can buy age-restricted items.

Being an adult rules! The fact that I’ve done all the things my inner child wanted to do and then stopped because I realized I can do EVEN BETTER rules so hard I can barely express it.

Look at the terms of your loan and your average return on your portfolio before blindly paying your mortgage early. If you manage to refinance at a good interest rate, you can often make more money on the market than you save on your mortgage. If I applied the balance of my savings to my principal today, I would lose significantly more interest from my investments than I'll pay in interest to my bank over the life of my loan.

 

Recognizing how costs can drop as investments are scaled up dramatically transforms assessments of costs in the longer run. Put simply, earlier investments make large-scale emission reductions easier to do over time because their unit costs drop.

 

I have a custom hook that I'm working on to make a fetch request to an api, and it is causing infinite re-renders. I'm struggling a bit to understand how the various parts of my application fit together -- in particular, my store (zustand) is using a middleware (immer) for immutable state, and I'm not certain why its drafting system isn't protecting me from changes in object identity. What tools can I use to try to track down what I've gotten wrong? I can't really leave the web page open very long because I'm making 1000s of requests per minute to the api I'm working against, so the Chrome dev tools are out, and the static analysis tools I set up (typescript and eslint) haven't identified any errors, like missing a dependency from the useEffect hook dependency array.

 

My Sounders are at three; where’s your team?

 

Why .7 and not .5? The world may never know.

 

ROCKS ARE IMMUTABLE

Rocks are immutable and hold No scope for self-aggrandizement, Each well-worn pebble churned and rolled Suffers a like predicament.

Gripped in what mesh of causal schemes Endures each casual atom what When one perchanced electron screams A stuttering signal, and is not?

Grant then a gamete, grant a score By crabbed environment beset, And man the instrument, no more, And where’s the credit? Where the debt?

Or grant pure chaos, flickering chance, And life’s defection near and soon, Then mark the shock of circumstance, The day from solid darkness hewn — Rock is a shivering miracle, Betrayed in sunlight, gleaming wet, And love cries out in chlorophyll To welcome truth in petals yet!

— From These Our Matins (1930) by Michael Roberts.
