I have a second sim card for my phone. I just turn off that sim when I'm not working, and set my status as away for group chat.

In this context, there isn't any tangible benefit to having a second phone.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's how it plans out.

A regular group chat and another signal one for when you specifically need to talk to OP.

Having two phones absolutely sucks. Didn't work for me at all.

Pretty sure chloroform is wrong too.

Chem teacher had some and one kid stupidly took a whiff. She dropped like a sack of potatoes. She woke up in a few seconds but yeah - that shit was instant.

I guess it might take 5 minutes to get enough to be out for a few hours.

Our rice cooker's only "logic" is a spring that lifts the bowl off the element once enough water has evaporated.

Yeah this is me.

I acknowledge the privacy issues but cash is way too inconvenient.

I've never been able to get this to work in a stock debain 12 / gnome environment.

The objective ought to be more engagement, not more users.

They need to be producing value even if it's not "taxable profit" according to generally accepted accounting principles.

For Spotify, spending venture capital is fine as long as you secure more users, ready to ne milked later.

For OpenAI, if they burn through $5b in venture capital, their product needs to be ready to make $5b more than it was previously.

These fucking assholes.

Yeah, I like to throw bottles of lotion away when they're half full because I feel compelled to fulfil the perception that my generation is wasteful.

 

In Perth for Easter weekend.

What are some cool things to do / places to visit?

 

I downloaded all my photos with google takeout.

The folder structure is an absolute mess.

It would be nice to organise them into YYYY/MM folders but I haven't been able to think of an easy way to do that.

I note that all images seem to have sidecar files ? Like matching json files. I've never encountered these before and not really aware of any command line tools that support them. It's just another challenge as regards writing a script to re-organise files.

Any insights much appreciated.
