I like him but his mental health issues remind me why it’s probably a bad idea to play around with mercury as much as he did.

EEVBlog. The guy is a brilliant electrical engineer but his arrogance prevents him from realizing that his electrical engineering intelligence doesn’t translate to other unrelated subjects. I tuned into a live-stream of his once and he started to discuss international geopolitics. His views were ill-informed and half-baked at best. When a couple of viewers (not including myself) simply requested he change subjects, he became indignant and started telling people not to tell him what to do on his own YouTube channel. He eventually told his viewers to leave if they don’t like what he had to say. So I did. I have not watched one of his videos since. I did watch Adam Something’s witty rebuttal to his video that reviewed and criticized one Adam Something’s videos.
Back when I moved over to linux I wanted to get away from the mainstream. Fedora/Red Hat were too mainstream for me at the time but I have never had any real objections to it. I eventually ended up settling on Debian and ever since then i’ve stuck with descendants of that distro because having the same toolchains of software as Debian makes transitioning distros slightly easier.
I know That’s a fairly common experience elsewhere. I have a cousin who is a fourth of his name. I think he or his wife understood the twisted family dynamic that came with playing favorites like that because they didn’t carry on the tradition when they had their son.
Yes. Flatpak, not Snap.
[addedum] it has been my daily driver since I switched away from Kubuntu a few years back for the aforementioned reason.
The ability to rest in climate control is going to give them an unfair advantage.
FTFY
That is correct. We cannot.
AARGH!
I don’t like talking about fight club but no I’ve never had issues with fight club
Remember “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it!”
Don’t feel too bad. This meme appears be aimed at people who specialized in advanced mathematics in college which are a small minority.
I’m definitely a news junkie and I used to spend many hours per day on that other Platform because it made for such an effective news-media aggregator. It sounds like your seeking out a replacement for that dopamine hit you used to get from checking the news all of the time. There are plenty of bad alternatives out there as others have already mentioned. Regardless of what you choose to do, I hope you periodically take stock of your own mental health. Personally speaking, this habit has sent me into major depression more than once in my life.
Didn’t we find the location of some big-time terrorists via fake vaccine campaigns prior to this?
I’m not a masochist.
“In fact, Robert Altman had a thing or two to say about those “industry types”, in his triumphant early-90s comeback film “The Player”. Also, do yourself a favor and watch Altman’s “Short Cuts”, to see parallel storytelling at its’ best.”
Thanks, I’ll be sure to check those out. I was a little worried I came off too hot with my take. I won’t say it can’t be done well, it’s just that I’ve never seen it done well since I first learned about the storytelling style in my intro to film studies course in college.
Kind. I try to be a kind person. Sometimes I fail. Too many people argue the being “nice” is merely a superficial term.
A Relevant YouTube video was just posted a few hours ago about this by LowLevelLearning.
DOS/Win3.1 I was pretty young. It was far back enough that it was still common to find Apple II’s in my grade-school classrooms off to the side for when we had downtime. I regret that I was just a little too young to experience the Commodore 64 craze.
I found his video on FPTP Binary political systems video to be logically flawed and I think it ultimately caused more harm than good. It’s irritating to see people reference it in political discussions today. That eventually convinced me to stop giving him views.
