If you like satirical comedy or entertaining educational shows, there’s a lot on Australian television (particularly shows from the national Australian Broadcasting Corporation). Also, for people who enjoyed The Office (at least, the UK version, I haven’t seen the US variant), I recommend Utopia - it’s far from a clone but has a lot of similar themes of workplace life mixed with poking fun at bureaucracy and government.
but I don’t live in australia, or have a VPN to access ABC iView!
Visit the sidebar resources of !piracy, or even just YouTube will get you a lot of them.
That’s what those on the Left would have you believe. Since anything remotely outside their party’s status quo is ignorantly called right wing. But there are multiple iterations of Libertarianism, which themselves fall within a left/right dichotomy. For example, there is Libertarian Socialism, who’s values pull largely from the Left. Then you have the more right-leaning Anarcho Capitalist. But what these varying flavors of Libertarianism have in common is mostly all are anti-state and centrist.
@glowie@daisyKutter Anarcho Capitalist is an oximoron. You can't separate the no-state part from the everyone must be equal in every aspect of the society part.
Libertarian Socialism has little to do with US libertarians. The term was openly stolen for the Right. The intellectual history is completely separate.
Murray Rothbard: "One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we, ‘our side,’ had captured a crucial word from the enemy . . . ‘Libertarians’ . . . had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety. But now we had taken it over… "
Sadly, a lot of the QAnon types tried to co-opt the Libertarian party in the US due to being disassociated from the GOP. But those QAnon incels couldn’t be anymore non-Libertarian.
Libertarians used to be made up of people who supported bodily autonomy, legalization of various drugs, reduced government powers, etc. But have lately been infiltrated by outcasted Republicans.
Why is it that libertarianism seems to have a long history of primarily attracting white men? As a POC, libertarianism strikes me as one of the most ideologically selfish political philosophies that is the furthest thing to being conducive to solidarity. I damn sure don’t trust libertarians and I’ve seen TONS of racism in libertarian spaces/clubs online and in-person.
There’s plenty of bastard racist, sexist and transphobic libertarians out there and it’s dismissive/inaccurate to chalk them all up as QAnon types.
Are we talking anarcho-capitalist, anarchist, or some third option? Because since Ayn Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged, the meaning in the US has been a bit shakey.
While it’s true that lots of libertarians prefer Linux, the first ancap I met in an online forum was a Romanian-born Christian living in the US, was so fundamentalist that he was actively looking for a church where men and women sat on different sides of the pews, loved Microsoft, and hated Linux. He also had a habit of changing the definition of words in the middle of debates. People found him completely infuriating.
Too be honest I don’t see a future in any crypto except for Monero. I’m not a crypto expert but it’s the only one anyone actually uses as currency because it’s designed to be more stable and transactions are kept private.
I mean, it’s not a group famous for their high rate of desktop computer use, but the ones that do actually make that a significant part of their life tend to be pretty likely to use Linux in my experience.
Clever Dripper, a scale, a kettle, and a Knock Feldgrind 2 (I’ve had this grinder for years) but any of the reasonably priced decent grinders from Kingrind, Timemore, or 1zpresso would be fine.
I have tried a few different options for brewing at the office:
French Press: Pros - few user inputs and reasonably good/consistent cups of coffee. Cons - major pain to clean up and I don’t like the fines and micro grounds in the bottom of the cup.
Moka Pot (with a hot plate): Pros: not too many user inputs and fairly easy clean up. Cons - too hard to consistently get a good cup of coffee.
Regular pour over (Melita and V60): Pros -easy clean up and fairly easy to get repeatable good cups of coffee. Cons - too many user inputs. Must take time to get the pours right.
The winner: Clever Dripper! The lowest user inputs, easy clean up, clean cup of coffee with no fines or micro grounds in cup, very repeatable and consistent good cups of coffee.
Fyi - mentioned it in another response, but Caffi filter bags for French Press eliminate all the cons you listed there. Worth a try if you have a French Press you want to try to revive. You need to grind quite a bit finer than you normally would and maybe push extraction closer to 5min. Personally though, I feel like the flavor comes out a bit flat. Not to rag too heavily on FP, but I feel like a big part of the FP taste is oil and fines and when you cut those out with a filter it seems you are left with fairly mediocre coffee. That being said, maybe I need to work on technique because with the caffi filter the brew process becomes very similar to an immersion brewer much like the clever dripper.
NixOS is cool, the whole Linux configuration in one file is convenient but I already found my home and comfort place that’s Arch btw don’t think I switch to other distro anytime soon
Just to clarify, I wouldn’t recommend putting everything in a single file, but rather modularize the configuration.
I also came from Arch, but have since abandoned it, and I don’t think I want to use distributions for myself that use the the classic imperative concept. One you get a better understanding of it, it makes so much more sense.
With cars it’s relatively easy to determine if a particular collision occurred before or after you bought insurance. It’s also very hard to predict exactly when these commissions will occur. Consequently, it is not so easy to delay and only buy a policy when you already have a claim ready to go.
With many progressive diseases, it’s much easier to wait and only buy insurance if you think it’s going to be expensive, but haven’t been diagnosed with anything yet. That’s why health insurance has open enrollment periods.
