The podcast “build for tomorrow”
That’s basically the entire premise of the podcast, which they relate via hilarious stories from the past.
I recommend the episode on Teddy bears, or bicycles. (Both of which by the way threaten to unravel the very fabric of American society)
General population: I do agree with you. They’d be looking at the next shiney new celebrity scandal or whatever.
I’m not sure I even believe that. I mean look how much generative AI is dominating the conversation, despite being garbage. I think aliens would have a similar ability to dominate conversation, even for the general public.
If nothing else developed from the talks, then yes.
But if it started a new conversation with academics, if it opened trade opportunities, if it brought meaningful new technology, it would dominate world discussion for decades.
But if it was a single message sent at the speed of light and we had to wait 50 years for our reply to get back to them, and then 50 more years to hear any more communication…
Yeah, nobody’s going to remember that happened.
As a parent I say this about my kids all the time.
“And then he threw a tantrum because it was time to go, you know the exact thing I warned him about 5 minutes prior, and 15 minutes before that. Sorry, not sorry.”
The term you’re looking for is crowdsourcing.
I’ve got a couple of 23 year old homeless people living with me now. They just need a couple months to find a place for themselves, that’s what they said a year and a half ago when they moved in. I’m trying to help them out, but they really can’t stay here forever.
Also one of them is my daughter.
Cool, did not know that! I have to admit I made assumptions there, figuring 2 stroke engines are probably more appropriate for smaller equipment. But I guess since you don’t have to carry a mower, a heavier engine is not a big deal, makes sense.
Good luck with your mower, no need for something else as long as it’s still working! After all, with a lot of things they really don’t make em like they used to, that old mower could serve you for a very long time.
I think most mowers are two stroke engines, which generally are designed to burn oil.
I expect they do need lubrication from time to time. I just bought an electric mower this year and it’s pretty low power, so I predict that any amount of additional friction in the system is going to be too much.
Oh man, I fell apart with that line…
One 1/4 family at a time
Seriously, I’m still chuckling
Sounds like you’re doing a lot of steaming!
“Well it can’t get any worse” And “Well, you gotta do something”
The first is almost always dead wrong. Trust me, you can make anything worse.
As for the second, it’s shockingly coming that in a given scenario, the best action is to not do anything different at all. It may seem like things are bad and something has to change, but changing your strategy at this point can still definitely make things worse. Sometimes inaction is the correct action.
I have a triangular file I use for sharpening all my saws, super useful. I have some old saws.
That is (and I’m really not joking) actually an altruistic motivation.
Good people give bad news.
Website someone who isn’t him? I doubt it.
I’m not saying anybody is out of line… I’m just saying * I * would rather play games than watch them. And I think games are most fun when played (which I don’t think is really a crazy statement).
But it’s true, I’m not really into spectating sports either, I don’t get much out of it. I would much rather play a pickup game of basketball than watch the NBA finals.
Oh, I get why people like watching games, I’ve watched people play games lots. But mostly I’ve watched when I can’t play a game myself. I had a job with a lot of downtime for a while, and while I couldn’t install games on the computer, I could watch twitch or YouTube all I liked. But given the choice, I’d much rather be playing the games.
None … I understand how video games work. You play them.
Lol, being down voted because I liked to play video games.
I think your last question answers itself.
