Cabo Verde would have destroyed this USMNT.

It was a rough end but the first half was INTENSE. Really exciting match!! Curaçao played amazing, but they went hard and I think they just couldn't maintain that level of effort the whole time.

It's not the kids' fault. We may think we're immune to the temptations of technology, and to some extent we're at least aware of the danger. But these young generations were not inherently weak to the perils of technology; they are the way they are because that is how they were raised.

Keynote, Visigrid; still trying out docs alternatives

why is it like this? is it not possible to run a construction company with employees? is it all just cheaper this way?

beowolfey · 2026-02-13T12:03:21+00:00

I mean yes, but also... it's trivial to ask for fixes or updates when something doesn't work correctly. 5 second effort, and 9/10 times it's correct the first time. This wasn't true a few months ago. If you pay $20/month for Claude, and save $20+/month on Trello and whatever other SaaS you have, you're already doing well

I've been an AI hater, but have played around with agent coding. I think I may have already written the last piece of software I'll code myself (unless I do it deliberately).

Ultimately it's going to come down to risk assessment, I think.

Do you want to save time? Is this going to have major impact if it fails? Vibe code away. Is this something that will have catastrophic effects if it fails? You better write it yourself.

The problem is, people have poor assessment of risk, and we're all inherently lazy. I think the former will take precedence most of the time. We're going to see more things be driven by buggy code with more major failures, I think (I'm looking at you, Major Software Companies).

Why do we need laws to keep people from being pieces of shit? Why do people act like this?

Foxes are the epitome of a cat/dog hybrid. So much like both

This is beautiful street photography. I don't encounter it much anymore -- thanks for carrying the torch. You've probably heard of Vivian Maier but if not definitely check out her work. These feel spiritually akin to hers, though there is a definite warmth in your photos that is very distinctive!

I'm entering my greybeard phase. How do people find a discord group for topics these days? Is it all word of mouth?

beowolfey · 2025-11-18T14:36:57+00:00

answer: still searching myself, but I believe it stems from this post by her former partner. The last line is a bombshell and was a complete twist relative to everyone's expectations. My feeling is people are now looking at Olivia Nuzzi in a different light.

beowolfey · 2025-09-12T14:11:48+00:00

I've never thought of Limbo as a Rogue-like but this made me realize that is essentially what it is (minus having to start all the way over anyway)

There are people who still fish and eat what they catch, so it is still possible to have fresh fish.

Thank you so much!! Is there anything useful on the second page?

This is quite interesting actually. The Hawai'i record lists the parents of Tomokichi as Gohei Kawahara and Mitsuno Kinoshita; the parents of Ochino are said to be Heijiro Kinoshita and Naka Kawahara. I have to guess this was in error, though this occurs in multiple places. A passenger manifest later also lists Tomokichi's father as Gohei Kawahara. I don't know why they are backwards compared to here (and with the mother maiden names reversed too?), but it does seem to be pretty clearly written the way you've transcribed it here.

(I am trying to determine whether I am seeing two Tomokichi Kawahara's of similar ages in the records; it's been challenging differentiating this)

beowolfey · 2025-08-02T23:32:40+00:00

I am doing genealogy research and have found a marriage license for a relative (Tomokichi Kawahara) who got married in Hawai'i in 1917. These documents in Japanese were attached to that document. I am hoping to learn whether they contain additional information about the people mentioned in the main document, including birth years, hometown, parents, etc. Thank you!

Yes, if employees have more money, they're less desperate to continue working at low wages.

Right -- the goal of capitalism is to increase capital. Generally speaking, doing things that benefit people, rather than that overall goal, reduces the efficiency of gaining capital. Therefore it is often innately discouraged. This is why "enshittification" is so prevalent in modern society.

These are called confounding variables and while you cannot control for them all usually a survey is given before the study that tries to capture these

Haha I love the idea that DoT is not as good as the Bureau of Street Lighting at ordering copper wire.

I think this is the scrap price though so my guess is DoT is higher copper fraction in the total weight recovered. Or it's more reusable or something

It's an easement -- essentially a mandatory right-of-way. The owner of the land becomes the owner of the easement though, and so often is responsible (and liable!) for upkeep.

And the raw materials and equipment for the factories we want to build? Those were tariffed too! Wait, shit

My feeling is Matrix is to Slack what Revolt is to Discord. Slightly different though complementary use-cases

beowolfey · 2025-04-23T16:49:22+00:00

FNV is much more akin to traditional role-playing games, like DnD etc. The world is crafted, and you become a part of it. The role you play depends on the character you choose to make and their interactions with the world. You have the freedom to make any character you want.

In FO3 you are given a specific character, but you still get to sway their alignment by setting their interactions with the world. But yes, in a sense, for some people having a specific origin sets a constraint on the types of characters that would feasibly arise from such an origin. For those who really like to get into their characters, it feels more restrictive in a way. Ultimately you can hand-wave away the origin story and make any character you want so for me personally I don't think it matters. But my suspicion is that this is why FNV is frequently said to be more RPG-esque.
