And for fuck’s sake don’t raw dog your phone to convenient USB chargers in airplanes, airports, or other public spaces.

Yes the argument can be made that airplanes may enjoy slightly better chain-of-custody type security, but fr the number of people I see who dgaf plugging their junk into USB brothels is wild.

Hey mate, any progress breaking through 60WPM?

Every accusation is an admission.

That’s the only metric which matters! Press on for a bit and don’t sweat it.

What span of time is this? 60WPM is great tbh. I’d say focus on just using this skill for the next year and don’t tie yourself up too much worrying about your WPM. Gains after this point may come a little more slowly, and through practical applications rather than repeated type training.

All the dicks. And the bag, to be certain that if he weasels his way out of eating the dicks, at least he’ll have to find a way to carry them around for a while.

Put the cost of things into terms of hours you would need to work to cover its cost. On an individual basis, you know very well how to gauge an hour of your working time, and inflationary effects will become apparent when there is something you used to buy routinely and suddenly find you have to work two or three hours to cover its cost.

4; microecon. Often when asked to solve cost minimization problems with supplied info, it states the problem can’t be solved, and that there might be a problem with the questions.

There are some limitations. I’ve asked some questions relating to my courses and it doesn’t always get it right.

They’re gonna whitewash it, little by little.

It did! A lot of it was quite marginal, but on the whole it was all orchestrated nicely and worked pretty seamlessly.

I used to run a small business, and we did a great number of things (relative to our business size and industry) in order to facilitate sales. Every touch point was designed to minimize the friction between the guest and them spending money. Both subtle things and obvious things.

The marketing started as soon as one visited the website (tracking pixels and FB for re-marketing ads) or called for info (we would try to capture at least name and email for additional marketing—always with explicit permission: “May we have your email address so we can send you additional periodic information?”). We had phone call flows and maximum hold times (3 mins).

We retained detailed guest notes and information which we would use to tailor their following visits (manually; any kind of automation was beyond our technical ability at the time).

I’d have to spend some time thinking of all the other ways we did things. Most of which we implemented in a Disney Magic sort of way, in the sense that things are just sort of magically happening without the guest being concerned about it.

Sky Wizard.

To give some perspective, that’s a little less than two Nazi holocausts per year for 100 years.

I do both, and it’s heavily dependent on what the purpose of the note is for.

I keep a yellow legal pad and mechanical pen. Stuff that goes on the pad are usually the ultimate in throwaway notes. Scribbles that are wholly transitory.

Then I have a digital note management system (Obsidian.md) and use it to maintain a personal journal and Zettelkasten.

Some yellow pad notes might flow into Obsidian, but not always.

Compensation and rationalization. C’mon. Your position is untenable at its foundation.

You’ve got the projection and cognitive dissonance turned up to eleven.

This is exactly that episode of Black Mirror. The use case is different, but the concept is identical.

Close, XKCD:456.

Have you at least tried to install Gentoo? Everyone has to think they can, and fail, at least once in their lives.
