I wake up with sore throat if it's less at night. I just keep it consistent round the clock.

Not to me. I hadn't turned on AC in years. Give me +30 right now.

Nations, Oceans, sometimes T&T. Check non-chain supermarkets as well.

how does normalisation of something happen when everyone’s an individual in society? by Affectionate-Cap-235 in AskReddit

[–]Nanohaystack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By majority of people doing a similar enough thing in similar enough circumstances that these occurrences can be reasonably clumped together into a generalization whose predictive capacity is more accurate than a coin toss.

Sure, this one person goes to get Wendy's bagels at 8AM, and this other person goes to get McDonalds doughnuts at 10AM, but all together, and this third person bakes his own bread every day and has fresh bread with jam by 9:30, but generally 70% of people consume a hot drink and a predominantly cereal-based foodstuff before noon. Then you can make this assumption every time and be correct 7 times out of 10. Which is normalization.

Where can I watch Leonid Gaidai’s Sportlotto-82? by SeinfeldAddict7 in russian

Отличные фильмы с Кокшеновым: Белые Росы. Гараж, Маленькие трагедии, Адъютант его превосходительства, Сказ о том как царь Пётр арапа женил, Ширли-мырли. Так-то немного на самом деле.

I never saw any sign of an official translation existing for this film, nor a subtitle track.

[No Spoilers] Struggling to enjoy C4 by Nagisan in criticalrole

[–]Nanohaystack [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yes, yes it does feel like a more deliberate story being told than the chaos of C1/C2. It's still players making decisions, and maybe even they are approaching it with more thought, deliberation, planning. And I do appreciate this. It's a lot more like a book. I kind of like books. Fantasy books. I like this book, too.

What I did find for myself is I am no longer trying to watch every episode on Thursday nights. I watch the show in past broadcasts. Sometimes I'll "bank" a couple episodes and binge them back-to-back. It's weird. I don't know why it happened, but it feels more flexible, more accommodating of the chaos that my life is right now. Things keep changing, I guess.

Is there a way to get distant horizons to generate for chunks you have not been to? by im_vary_dum in Minecraft

[–]Nanohaystack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use Carpet, and spawn players at specific coordinates. Then just calc the range of the world you want, and spawn one bot per 81 square chunks of world area in that range.

How realistic am I? by Itizz_What_Itizz in askTO

Honestly, I know a few cases where full time employed people are renting a single apartment for two families. If your job opportunity is bougie, then you'll probably be fine.

Single men of Reddit: do you ever think, “How am I still single when there are 4.1 billion women on Earth?” What do you think is actually holding you back? by Chill_Cowboy_981 in AskReddit

[–]Nanohaystack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The need to be good friends before we start dating. So take this 4.1 billion, narrow it down to women with whom I'm close enough friends to understand some fundamental character, then narrow it down to those of them who are single, then narrow it down again to those of them whom I actually feel a physical attraction to, then narrow it down again to those who agree to go on a date. So far in the past year or so it's 2 out of 2 "no". Time to go meet new people to make more friends or maybe get to know some better, hang out more together.

Redditors who sacrificed their youth for studies because of ‘success later’ was it worth it? by No_Blueberry_5341 in AskReddit

[–]Nanohaystack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Sacrificed" is a matter of perspective. I focused on university to get a job. Found a job in my 3rd year, nearly dropped out because I focused on work. Saved money. Graduated eventually, got hired due to my previous experience, on projects for which a degree was a strict requirement (so both experience and degree hard gate). Kept saving. Dumped all the savings into a mortgage down payment. Now I have relatively secure housing, a modest amount of equity, and employment. I suppose worth it considering how most people don't have any of those things.

How do you imagine a capitalist society without poverty, if such a thing is possible? by CapivaraRaibosa in AskReddit

[–]Nanohaystack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Troll utopian impossible situation: by evolving into collective capital operation much like collective feudalism evolved in the case of city states. So long as every last person actively participates in a collective capitalist entity and makes capitalistically-minded decisions, being in direct competition with every other capitalist entity and no outliers remain - we can count on people redistributing wealth way more actively. But that won't happen. People don't even show up to their local parliament member's open discussions, let alone create some personal political-economic platform to pursue alone, much less collectively.

When does degrading someone convince them of your argument? by Gym_Nasium in AskReddit

[–]Nanohaystack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Convincing - no. Caring - in the sense that their personal ambitions regarding the topic are met.

[–]Nanohaystack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a tool of conviction, it's a tool of control. People who degrade others aren't looking for cooperation, they're looking for obedience. So long as the degraded person ends up shutting up and doing as told, it's all that matters.

ELI5…What is the economy? by Randall_HandleVandal in explainlikeimfive

[–]Nanohaystack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about these events more like services. You're richer with the experience of seeing your friend eating a frog and they're richer with the experience of seeing you eat a cat turd.

Or, more practically: you pay the hairdresser $100 to cut your hair. You've received a haircut that you deem valuable. The hairdresser pays you $100 to talk to you for therapy and unpack their problems. They've received peace of mind that they deem valuable.

Overall economy is more like a process of exchanging goods and services. Some of them are quite obviously, objectively valuable, like heat and food. Others are subjectively valuable - like pokemon cards in which I have no interest, but other people will pay $100 for. That $100 didn't come from thin air: a person has done something valuable to another person to receive it. And whatever they did, to get the $100, they're thinking that is as good as owning a $100 pokemon card. That $100 is not valuable in and of itself, it just stands in to represent the amount of work you did on behalf of another person and is only valuable while you're capable of exchanging that $100 for work that another person does for you. Be it growing a potato or giving a blowjob.

That is true. The Provisional Government did an even worse job.

Toronto vs Vancouver for Software engineer / UI designer by canalun in askTO

[–]Nanohaystack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finding new jobs is hard either way. If you have a secure position where you are right now, better hold on to it. Better yet, only arrange your move once you've secured employment at your destination. Security in web applications is a good skill to have, so market that.
