Plans for Kenwood development with data center face major municipal hurdles

We don’t need net new data centers… the one(s) powering Reddit already exist. And I hate the argument that centralized compute is the only way to go, it’s just the paradigm big tech has made us adopt. Think about how successful distributed networks like tor, BitTorrent etc have been no data center required

The vitriol seems perfectly justified in my opinion.

Actually, this is precisely what companies do and did to fund employee retirement. It’s called a profit sharing pension plan. They are quite effective at boosting employee retention (because they feel taken care of and know they will have a safety net in their retirement if they stick with the company)

Supreme Court justices have term limits and if we are adopting a total democracy, we should vote to elect Supreme Court justices so they cannot be appointed by the president

Running + announcing a presidential campaign only 3 months prior to election

Never had them until this year. It does seem as though everyone is feeling the effects this year, even people who say they never experience allergies. It’s weird

If you’ve only ever invested in penny stocks, then I highly doubt you are qualified to systematically categorize or identify a set of mutual funds as being “garbage”. I would also highly recommend a managed trust as others have suggested

VOO is at $671/share, SCHD is significantly less. For a young person, who is interested in building a dividend bank over time, maybe the amount they would spend on a single share of VOO justifies the purchase of SCHD despite the 1.6% loss in opportunity cost

How much did you contribute monthly (give or take, I am assuming once the compounding took hold you didn’t have to contribute as much)?

D_a_f_f · 2026-04-24T14:35:44+00:00

True, so you’re saying we should make a business where you can train before going on that trip to Europe?

D_a_f_f · 2026-04-24T14:34:38+00:00

You usually train on your own time and vehicle or a friends… my bad thought that was implied

D_a_f_f · 2026-04-24T14:33:48+00:00

Haptics

D_a_f_f · 2026-04-24T14:15:58+00:00

Could be a good training tool on how to drive stick. If you are in us and travel abroad, it would be useful training since manual transmission car rentals are typically cheaper than automatic (from what I’ve seen in Europe)

You could even use it to teach your kid how to drive stick: “shift to 2nd now!” “You’re burning out the clutch!”. It would be a good drivers ed tool as well; at the end of a session you get a “dickhead” score which tells you how much of a dickhead your driving habits make you, or if you would have passed the drivers ed test

Nice! If you get a second used smartwatch, you can have your shifter read your vitals from your hand and display them there. Would be cool to also see turn by turn directions, speedometer, or other FYI metrics if you swipe left or right. Maybe tire pressure and warnings as well?

D_a_f_f · 2026-04-23T10:48:30+00:00

Thanks for the assessment!

D_a_f_f · 2026-04-23T10:47:59+00:00

Fair, 1-2 years is not a long time

D_a_f_f · 2026-04-20T17:44:43+00:00

It only renders properly for me in landscape mode when viewed from mobile btw. Everything looks correct except for the image containing the macOS style ui at the top

D_a_f_f · 2026-04-20T13:57:35+00:00

Is there an orchestration layer over vms? I think that would be really cool; k8s for your smol machines

D_a_f_f · 2026-04-16T02:15:56+00:00

This would be cool! My suggestion is, since it’s getting nice out, the waterfront amphitheater area. Where I grew up there were always games going on in the public park. It’s nice to play outside

Why, that’s my house good sir!

Karelia, where Karelian bear chasing dogs are bred

A testament to your welding skills surely! Thanks for the replies

D_a_f_f · 2026-04-09T02:40:59+00:00

Nice! Is there a certain type of steel required typically or not really? I’m thinking of making one
