It’s self-sustaining. They have convinced people that they don’t deserve access to resources unless they perform some meaningless demeaning labour. The job leaves them too exhausted and numb to question the status quo and do something about it. Yet, at the same time the 0.1% who is hoarding all the planet’s resources isn’t scanning any groceries to ‘deserve’ it.
Jobs aren’t something to be preserved, that’s the wrong way of thinking about it. Jobs are a waste of everyone’s time. You’re not saving a job, you’re spending labour. The goal should be to eliminate all jobs.
The problem is the link between income and work, that should be eliminated.
That piece of porcelain sucks up all the heat from your water. Invest in a cheap plastic V60. They cost just a few euros.
Get some decent paper filters for it. I would recommend Cafec ABACA (not the plus version!) but the Hario filters work fine as well.
Ideally you want to pour from a temperature controlled gooseneck kettle. That allows you to precisely control your pouring speed. They don’t have to be expensive. Alternatively you can get a Hario Drip Kettle Air for pouring.
The monitor isn’t doing anything, it’s Windows doing this shit. The monitor just says to the PC “Hi, I’m an LG monitor, model number XYZ”. Every modern monitor does this. Windows then phones home and downloads a driver package for the monitor based on the brand and model, which includes this malware.
This is on both Microsoft for allowing this shit, and on LG for abusing the system.
Then again, if you’re still using Windows in 2026 you kinda deserve it.
Yes. It’s insane that you have different laws, rights, taxes, etc. based on your location.

No, outdoors is for adults. Kids should only be allowed outside when properly leashed.

And most importantly buy good coffee.
What’s wrong with people. Don’t these kids have PlayStations? Why do they need to play outside?
Engineer: this glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
Wut?
Relevant XKCD
That’s assuming you get to the point where you are having a conversation.
All software is licensed, there’s no true ownership regardless of medium.
Of course interent is faster than 200Mbit, it’s 2026. 1Gbit is standard and if you’re willing to pay a little extra you can get up to 8Gbit up/down.
Also, bandwidth caps? On residential internet? WTF.
Why don’t you switch to a faster plan then?
LOL, I am this old.
Ah yes, put the disc in, wait 5 minutes for it to load.
You underestimate how slow blu-ray drives are.
Except installing from disc is slower than downloading
The first version of DDC is from 1994
Pretty sure it did. DDC has been a thing since forever. It certainly existed on VGA.
