Oh wow I think I have a mild version of this.

Can it cause the plastic on the mouse to break down?


Yes, it is fairly common with some plastics. better plastics won't but there are a lot of different plastics with differt formulas (and many can be mixed)

You need to moisturize more.

They also use Google (USA) index. The president of USA is problematic for many reasons but lately he has been threatening war crimes and genocide.

Buy Russa is the only bad country in the world.


I liked Win10, once you use ShutUp10 it was a solid OS minus a few annoyances.

But Win11 is horrendous. Watching the right click menu dynamocally and slowly populate with "open with" options is jaring.

Now add two right click menus is wild.


My choice was win10privacy, pretty quick and brutal, gutting and disabling most intrusive things.

Now I'm moving to Linux (once I finally found one that supports nvidia and mux really well).



I don't agree with both of the above analogies. Sometimes you must go in depth on a single paper, while other times it's broad research that's required. Different tools and methods for different tasks.

What your describing here

> reading the portions of those papers that you are interested in

Is a hybrid use of the technology which no one would argue against.

The question remains if students have the foresight to use the correct method and which results in the best learning outcomes.

For myself, I would have absolutely let LLMs summarise swaths of text and write my essays when I was at Uni. That's just me though. Maybe today's learners are better than I.


The author did not outright suggest the banning of all technology. They even linked to a digital typewriter. After the very paragraph you quote, they suggest instead to offer a more human centric approach to helping disabled people. It's not a huge leap to suggest that your sister could continue to learn with the above two solutions; a disability tutor combined with a OLED screen.

The Nintendo DS fit in your pocket but it didn't hearld in mainstream gaming.

Gaming went mainstream because it went mainstream. Technogy improved, it became easy to setup and play (unlike a computer at the time), competition was high between Sony and MS which resulted in quick generational leaps. And finally, all the gamers grew up inviting more gamers to be gamers.

Once it became big money, gaming attracted attention propelling it further.

Like any technology, it's a combination of things that leads to high uptake.

My opinion is that VR will go mainstream when it becomes afford, useful and easy to use. IMO we are years away from good useful VR.


I completely disagree. I loved this article. I could feel the authors frustration and disdain for the software.

It was funny and helpful.


I hope you're doing better these days, friend. That sounded rough.

Thanks, I appreciate the sentiment :)

I'm doing pretty well for now actually. The things that stay with me though are the little signals that something might be going sour, and a much more tangible anticipation for the next time I'll need to prepare for another full year or more looking for work. I never really feel like I can make big commitments that depend on future income, even if the income is stable now.


This is amazing info thank you.

What is the purpose of planting clover?


Clover is a nitrogen fixing plant - used to be that you’d plant clover for a year in between other crops to make your soil fertile again.

(It’s the bacteria in the roots that do the actual nitrogen chemistry.)


Really good advice above. But if you want to cheat a bit, I used https://www.thompson-morgan.com/p/vitax-clay-breaker--25-kg-... on my heavy clay garden and it helped a lot, in combination with extra organic material etc.


this is just gypsum in case anyone was wondering

Clover fixes nitrogen and roots help stabilize the voids in the soil. They sell seed mixes called "ground cover mix" that includes other plants and will help keep the soil from recompacting when it rains and keeps weeds at bay.
