yeah, some ropey contraption, iirc

As a future boltzmann brain, I agree.

that waste of effort cold war… /s

You don’t have a line that checks the format and auto converts to your favorite?

I often wonder what happened to the code I wrote in 2010 and used for production coordination & was working fine when I retired (2018). I figured the minute I left the hotshot kids would want to upgrade to their own styles. Not everyone liked it bc it wasn’t beautiful but no one could say it wasn’t functional, so it persisted. I was busy learning design and assemble CNC routers; but it worked and I didn’t have time to make a selection of backgrounds & banners. It’s just Excel, AutoCAD, & Access using VBA, which everyone has says they are going to deprecate VBA but, alas, people still want it. I remember Autodesk announcing the deprecation of VBA c. 2012 and I just looked and I guess they changed their mind bc there are modules for VBA available

sometimes legacy methods last longer bc no one wants to be a hotshot.

although there can be hard paradigms that are wrong and were still taught, isn’t creation-smuggling into textbooks still a thing? In < 100 yrs people will laugh at those of us that believe other than biological natural selection evolution over billions of years

the science bitch that invented CFCs also invented Tetra Ethyl Lead fuel additive, “leaded gasoline” was also cleaned up,… mainly.

In this instance if UBI is generalized, whoever[?] is issuing the cards to make sure you buy what they want you to buy… whoa. I’ll just live in the woods.

How come one can’t buy a rural 1/4 acre and pour a foundation for a 1200 Sq. Ft. utilitarian house that is built taking a loan for everything, living out of an old trailer on property & doing 1099 subcontracting internet work? The loan is n% of the whole, the rest is up to the person to supply. Gotta stack paper. The housing shortage is subject to wanting to have a good time, versus living a frugal present for an uncertain future.

Second hint: one should built their credit from starting at, say 650, and building to 750, all by paying bills on time for two or three years.

It isn’t easy to deny the luxuries of the world, because YOLO could end at anytime in this world. If you are a city type, it must be frustrating, so I see more and more ppl going 1099 remote subcontracting from cheaper, more rural areas, say 50 miles from the metropolitan area

Eventuallly energy will become so inexpensive that trade and commerce as we think of it, is like comparing trade and commerce of 50, 100 or 200 years ago, completely changed tech. So it is likely to be a different system than owners and workers. One solution is everyone gets a share in X portfolio of their choosing, then they are the owners and can get the UBI or own shares in the company(ies) they think will be profitable. If you can’t manage equities, you get a lower UBI to get some soap and raman noodles and a tent.
