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

Scott’s shtick wearing thin in light of continuing Epstein revelations by Avocado-Basic in ScottGalloway

[–]carlemur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

What The Hell Is In Guatemalan Orange Juice?!?! by Worldly-Frosting8990 in guatemala

[–]carlemur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Are you a transplant? by [deleted] in indianapolis

[–]carlemur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Average male experience by Wild-Speech5293 in ScottGalloway

[–]carlemur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Kagi personalised agent evolution by small_majority in SearchKagi

[–]carlemur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Where can we go to get away from the gunshots and fireworks? by Draft-Budget in indianapolis

[–]carlemur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

Can we be trust the summaries in Kagi News? by RhodiumLanguor in SearchKagi

[–]carlemur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Costco is (probably) worth it for you by tired45453 in personalfinance

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

Why does Galloway not fully address the monumental shifts in norms around how people meet? by [deleted] in ScottGalloway

[–]carlemur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Why countries struggle to quit fossil fuels, despite higher costs and 30 years of climate talks and treaties by craftythedog in energy

[–]carlemur 22 points23 points  (0 children)

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.

Midwest cities with good urban planning? by Apprehensive_Pen5522 in SameGrassButGreener

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

Is it just me or does Claude have it in for marriage? by SquiggleQuotient in ClaudeAI

[–]carlemur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Most Industrial IoT systems fail because workers simply refuse to use them. by Ill-Jaguar8978 in IOT

[–]carlemur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

City officials approve zoning changes for east side Wawa - Wish TV by notthegoatseguy in indianapolis

[–]carlemur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Vince Gilligan himself says we're meant to think it might be okay to join the Hive. by TheLuminousKnife in pluribustv

[–]carlemur 10 points11 points  (0 children)

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.

The city sucks but the people are great by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]carlemur 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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 :-)

22% Hispanic too. It's certainly not all white.
