I still use a wallet when I’m travelling, as that’s the only time when I actually need cash. Plus it also holds my passport, seamans books, vaccine booklet, and misc other useful stuff.

When I’m home-ish I only use a card holder. It has most of my cards (duh), and that’s it really.

I never raised any eyebrows at IPs like these in movies and on TV. It’s just internet equivalent of fictitious phone numbers always containing 555.

I hear Sisyphus is looking to train his replacement. In fact, he says it’s a pretty cushy job, as there’s no need to pick things up, and definitely no putting them down

Depends on the skillset in question.

On one hand I work with IT/Clusters and robotics for the geophysical exploration sector. 20 years, probably. Beyond that and it gets dubious apart from this one system that actually runs on MS-DOS to this day (because MS-DOS is surprisingly good at realtime stuff if you want it to do something very simple).

On the other hand I do a lot of digital I/O and automation which would probably be very useful in the 60s, maybe even before if I manage to join the pioneers.

On top of that, I grew up on a dairy farm, and learned a lot of that trade from my dad. I can milk a cow by hand, so if that was all I needed to do, I could go back all the way to Mesopotamia.

I’ve used this a lot in the past at work. I see now that it’s discontinued, but I’m sure they have a new thing in its place. tiny, easy to use, and a huge time saver.

I choose to believe UwU is extra formal

Never. Norwegian, by the way.

Similar to German, the plural can be used as a formal version of singular (Du = Du, Sie = De).

But I’ve never used it outside of cases such as acting obnoxiously formal with friends. And I don’t think anyone else does either. Hundred years ago, maybe. Not today.

I assume there’s some sort of main relay that connects the turbine/generator/hampsterwheel to the grid. I suspect this relay might be more beefy than the ones I’ve worked with in 24V, 230V and 400V systems…

How is a relay of powerplant-beefidity constructed so that the contacts aren’t welded from the current upon initial contact?

Do better

In theory it could work if everyone living under it are selfless and 100% in on it, but that’s simply against human nature. Also, a resource distribution system based on “trust me, bro” will at best be inefficient or corrupt, in most cases both.

We’re currently living through an era where liberalism+capitalism is really showing its asscracks, but I’d take that over communism. But I can understand why communism may appeal to some who have never managed to get ahead in our current system.

This exact same thing happened to a friend of mine when he visited Thailand. Met this girl through acquaintances, they got to know each other very well, etc… Be warned: They’re happily married and living together 10 years later.

I’m not married and I never was. And on paper I still have in-laws.

I met this girl around 2008 and we became friends with benefits. Suddenly 17 years later we have mortgage, kids, pets, and everything else together. Some might go as far as saying that it’s starting to get serious between us.

Anyway, due to having had shared address and offspring we’re legally considered married for all practical purposes.

Grimereaper. Yup. I have them tagged as “Weirdly obsessed with age gaps and superheroes”

I can set you up with an account if you want. If so, DM me your chosen username and an email address (the latter doesn’t have to be valid, but I do intend to have a password reset function at some point)
