I hope thorium reactors become a reality soon, they’ll probably fix or lower most of your concerns with current uranium reactors.

If they’re wearing headphones outdoors/in public instead of earbuds or noise isolating in-ear monitors, they deserve all the sweat lol.

Otherwise for those of you at home:

What Are Open-Back Headphones?

The 6 Best Open-Back Headphones of 2025

No more sweaty ears once I switched from noise-cancelling Sony and Bose bluetooth headphones, to a cheap bluetooth neckband type earphones. I swapped out the earbuds for some silicon noise-isolating ones that fit snugly in the ear canal.

Got a fancy open-backed headphone for gaming/music on the PC.

America’s Test Kitchen has a bunch of reviews

Edit: as others have said, look at restaurant supply stores in your area. Besides stainless, I’d also recommend carbon steel or cast iron since you’re looking for durability and food safety.

Good luck finding a parking space.

Average US parking space according to wikipedia is 8.5 to 9 ft wide. The Escalade IQL is 85 inches (7.1ft) wide with mirrors folded. That gives you 1.5 to 2 feet of space total (not on each side), so you’d probably have to trap your passengers just for the driver’s side to get out in many situations like strip malls, movie theaters, hotels, parking garages that were designed for normal sized vehicles. (For comparison a Toyota Corolla is 5.8ft wide would have about 3 feet of space). Expect a lot of dinged doors and door dinging.

First thing in the morning and now you’ve missed your own meeting.

Specifically leather belts and footwear.

This is the planet wide equivalent of the microwave interfering with the wifi signal.

Instead of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, it’ll be 6 degrees and we’re all bakin’

More than meets the eye 😏

Its not even summer yet…

Some food for thought, (excerpt from Louis Rossmann’s reply to the top pinned comment):

"with regards to products: if you want to only buy shoes, razors, cars, caulking materials, etc, made by companies & people who support all of your political beliefs, you’re going to lose that game very fast. you will waste your life doing the following:

1. researching every item you buy to death
2. making these items yourself once you realize it’s impossible to find each item you want made by someone who mirrors your ideology
3. give up & live in a cave

The moment you go down that road of throwing away software products and services because they are made by people whose political beliefs do not reflect yours, you are going to end up living in a cave. That is a lonely world. It doesn’t even work!! People who bought the Tesla Model 3 a few years ago would have Ford F-250 Turbo Diesel drivers speed up in front of them and roll coal in their face. And now that same person is getting called a Nazi!!!

the political beliefs of the software i use are irrelevant to me. They only become relevant when these questions arise:

1. does it stop me from using the software the way i want?
2. do their political beliefs keep them from being able to make a functioning product?

for gnome, #2 is yes. gnome was bad 10 years ago,it was bad 5 years ago, and it’s bad now. i used gnome for a very short time period earlier in 2024 out of morbid curiosity. my machine had 128 gigabytes of ram, rtx-2080, threadripper 2950x processor and gnome still lagged. XFCE just worked! on top of that, gnome sucked to use. i am not using gnome: whether it’s “woke” or “anti woke” or whatever else.

if we’re at a point in the world where we choose our web browser by the political views of its programmers… we’re screwed"

Not required. SF does have an ordinance to cover some costs depending on the number of employees. But its not some nationwide law.

If you’re a fancy tech bro in SF all your costs are covered, health/dental/vision/life insurance, commuting stipend or govt subsidized account you get to put pre-tax money in and the company might match, matching contributions for your retirement 401K. The techbro class doesn’t care about the cost of BART, many of them take an UBER for 3-4x the BART faire and not bat and eye at the bill (or use the company UBER account for free). If you’re just some random minimum wage worker, you’d be lucky to live within an hour or two commute of SF and afford housing.

Imagine working minimum wage in SF and commuting in by BART + BUS / MUNI Lightrail / CALTRAIN / FERRY. Gotta work at least 2 hours just to cover the costs of your commute every day.

In Tokyo the bike lanes are all loading and unloading parking for the large trucks, taxis, and private vehicles. Means you gotta merge into traffic because none of the bike lanes lanes are enforced. I see a lot of cops stopping cyclists to check their registration, but I’ve never seen them ticket the trucks and taxis illegally parked. Tokyo needs better enforcement and separate bike lanes like Amsterdam (with a physical barrier or different grade from the street), otherwise its really dangerous to bike on streets even with bike lanes.

Redox OS is a little baby sprout of grass on the very right

I use one of these Keycrhon numpads and customize the layout for excel. I got tired of the full wide keyboards that would get in the way of my mouse when gaming.

Make one of them delete or backspace so you don’t have to move your right hand so far off center.
