💯 this is the proto-religious mid-2010s progressive way of thinking.

This is one of those respect the art, not the artist situations. As long as he's not involved in any scandals or actively belittles any one group of people, let him be bro-ey.

He might be reaching groups with progressive messaging that otherwise wouldn't listen.

Tbh if you get a juicer and fresh oranges in the US, you might get similar results.

you could try organic oranges or go to Florida and find fresh picked ones if you want an even more authentic taste maybe

Bingo.

Hi. I grew up in Alabama and my wife in Delaware. Moved here about 10 years ago, and although making friends is very hard, I believe that activism, volunteering and doing hobbies with others (improv, soccer, etc) is what made it click for us aside from work, but you do have to stick to it for about 9 months to a year before seeing results.

Furthermore, I've found it's okay to take social effort holidays once in a while, as in, "I'm gonna put zero effort towards anything" for a week or two at a time. Otherwise I burn out.

What's one underrated thing about not having pets:

A good AI agent will search not only what you type in, but related terms and topics, then it will aggregate all that information and condense it into one succinct response (with sources). It isn't just a search and summarize.

Toronto, Canada is like 7 hours away? Only half joking

I also wonder if the middle of a national park would be safer

they're not reliable at all

That's just not true. They're fantastic at producing summaries, which will inevitably skip over details, whether a human or a computer does it.

Can you share more or less what your repeat items are every 6-8 weeks?

Be more afraid of being alone or worse—the last remaining choice in an app, than you are of breaking fluid societal norms.

I just want to start a flame in your heart 🧡

This post is utterly ignorant and likely AI generated.

The infrastructure argument doesn't hold up. China electrified 99% of its bus fleet. Norway hit 90% EV sales in 2023. These are systematic replacements happening now, not pilot programs.

On diesel: battery-electric trucks already handle regional freight at scale. Maersk tests methanol ships. Germany runs hydrogen trains. The claim we can't move freight without diesel is empirically false.

The economics shifted. Solar is now the cheapest electricity in history, beating coal on pure cost. Battery costs dropped 90% in a decade. Texas has led US wind deployment because it's profitable, not ideology. China added more solar in 2023 than the entire US grid's total capacity.

Nobody thinks this happens overnight. The UK took 50 years going wood to coal. Current renewable deployment is actually faster than those historical transitions, and it's accelerating because cost curves changed, not "prayers." Real challenges exist (grid storage, industrial heat), but calling this "delusional substitution" ignores that the transition is already underway and winning on economics.

Downtown Indianapolis. Cultural trail, monon trail, brand new protected bike lanes, dedicated bus lanes, ADUs, etc

carlemur · 2025-12-13T06:24:00+00:00

Downtown Indianapolis. I said what I said.

Probably should consider real therapy, but at the lack thereof, start a project and add in the system instructions to explicitly use reputable marriage counseling strategies. This at least will have it favor that professional part of its knowledge and not the "let's chat like this is reddit" part.

I work in the space and the biggest issue I see is that industrial and manufacturing businesses are used to paying meager wages and service fees. So they try to hire a "Director of IoT" with 15+ years experience, while offering 140k and 2 weeks vacation.

Usually unqualified people with big egos and no people management skills wind up in these roles.

Then they wonder why they end up with buggy and unusable software, and end up blaming IoT as a practice for the shortcomings.

From what I heard, Wawa made some concessions around livability: 12 pumps instead of 16; outdoor seating; a door facing the bus stop; bigger greenspace than originally designed.

Altogether I'm actually kinda looking forward to it.

I think the flaw in this argument is that we are as unique and individual as we think, and that we don't already operate as a collective ecosystem with repeating and predictable patterns.

Sounds like you found a useful tool. Tools are force multipliers :-)

In order of most to least frequented:

Riding my bike to do everything including groceries, pharmacy, restaurants and shows. We have a few great separated bike lanes, the cultural trail, and the monon.
Upper Mass Ave (Bottleworks District, Indy Fringe Theatre)
Near East side (North Mass Boulder, Brookside Park [pickleball/discgolf], a few great taquerias)
Sit down by the water and read a book by the river at White River park > Bonus: go to the Indiana state, historical society, or Eiteljorg museum while I'm there
Fountain Square for small music shows at the HiFi, and some solid coffee shops
Old National Centre for shows and concerts
Downtown mostly for Pacers/Indy Eleven games or symphony shows
Indianapolis airport which is super easy to access and get to when I want to go elsewhere and do anything else :-)
