Wait I thought that already happened

Wowza, nobody had foreseen this happening! Well, apart from everyone in the tech sector, and all who were laid off in almost every sector, and everyone else… ahh forget it!

How so?

And how should I trust your opinion since your account is 5 days old currently, as well as how your activity is that of a comment bot?

So running a community forum on a decade old laptop, or someone using a hand-me-down phone to watch videos are equal to openAI’s stargate hyperscaler?

We don’t classify a laptop a data centre just because it was repurposed as a web server, and furthermore, devices are so powerful today that you could probably do the same on a smart watch.

Either you don’t know what a data centre is, or are intentionally skewing the definition of “data centre” to fit your snarky reply.

To make it more efficient, we should have as many people as possible doing the hole punching

Wait, didn’t he talk about the antichrist at a conference, and basically describe himself? Pretty fitting honestly

So I guess the plan is to make a somehow buoyant hyperscaler powered on tidal energy tech which is pretty much still in its infancy, and radiate all the heat in an already too hot ocean?

Lovely idea, Theil, I hope it leaks.

My hyperfixated interests tend to be about technology in general, and adjacent to that, ive recently started watching around 7 episodes of Star Trek (currently on the 1st season of The Original Series), and plan to keep watching it for a long while.

My previous fixation lasted 7 months straight, and it was obsessively researching into computer memory architectures, mainly the unified and universal memory architectures. I haven’t even become bored of it yet, it’s just something I research less in now since I did it so thoroughly that I might need a break haha.

Ive also had another one that started around 10 months ago, around the same one as the memory architecture one, but is still going, and it’s about diving into how my mind works and how I can make things easier for myself (as well as find more evidence of me being neurodivergent, which has been very successful). Ive found that I’m very likely AuDHD (if you haven’t already realised from the previous statements), and I’ve been tying in many factors, including daily behaviours, a concussion I had 3 years and 3 days ago, etc, and have compiled it into a shit ton of digital notes.

I mean, OneDrive did the same, except their tactic was just to delete your files instead of store them, instead of increasing it…

I have tended towards making very simple, quick, healthy and hearty breakfast meals, since those make or break the day for me if I have the wrong thing.

One breakfast I have is 150g hummus, around 50g of feta and a large whole grain wrap (cut into pieces and microwaved to be like chips), with the batching I use lasting around a week. I get a $6AUD 1kg tub of hummus per week (and usually have a spare as rollover if there isn’t enough in the tub I take from,) $4 250g feta block, and a $4 pack of 8 large whole grain wraps.

I’m likely not accurate with the pricing, since I don’t tend to concentrate a lot on the pricing since I’ve found this breakfast good value, but it tends to come to ~$1.90 per serving.

It’s also why I tend to do intermittent fasting a lot (for usually at least 7 hours), as it is very filling.

Not saying you need my solution, since finding your own solution would allow it to be integrated better into your routine, although inspiration is also great (the wrap idea was from my sister for instance).

Sure, these glasses are a corporate surveillance state nightmare, but keep in mind, assault shouldn’t be something you consider, unless it’s justifiable.

Most places have law stating the public can be recorded freely by anyone, which is basically why these exist, so the justification needs to actually hold weight, such as being stalked or other reasons.

There’s also the fact that these glasses could be used by disabled individuals who are using them as aids, and quite frankly, assaulting a disabled person, even if you don’t know they’re disabled is a significant aggravating factor in court. You really don’t want that for yourself.

This is some Chernobyl Geiger counter type shit

While looking up some of their statistics before, I did find out about the RFDS TV show and I’m pretty intrigued honestly. I’ll probably start watching it soon now that you’ve mentioned it. It might get me to stop focusing on the burnout I’m in currently haha

Apparently here in Victoria it is covered by Medicare, but depends on which specialist you get. I feel for you for forking over that kind of cash, but from what I’ve been told from the many ADHDers in my life, as much as the cost might hurt at first, it’ll end up being worth it. Although, it would be a heck of a lot better to be covered by Medicare.

Personally, I’m planning to get ADHD and Autism assessments in the future (not sure how soon, but probably a year or two away, since I’m still compiling data on myself), so I really should be doing research on eligibility for subsidisation for either.

How could I forget those absolute legends?

I did some research and turns out the RFDS has 23 bases and a fleet of 79 planes, with a much smaller fleet of helicopters for rugged terrain and short, urgent trips.

It mainly relies on a combination of donations and government funding, and is of course a non profit. It also tends towards mainly outback service, rather than equivalent organisations in other nations, which tend to focus on a mix of urban and rural service.

Anyway, I’ll probably spend the next few hours obsessively looking up everything about the RFDS, and solidify that my sleep schedule is actually so shattered, but damn it’s an interesting organisation.

Two years ago, my dad slipped at the boat ramp and broke his wrist. He went in the local ER, presented the family Medicare card, and they worked right away to put his arm in a cast and prescribe pain medication to him. Nothing was paid out of pocket, and the card was just to verify identity, since nothing is really deducted or anything.

A few months later, he got stung on the ankle by a stingray (luckily the barb didn’t break in his leg,) and was driven to the ER by a step-family member he was able to peddle his bike to quickly. His leg was quickly put in warm water and got given antibiotics, and was admitted for a week stay. After 3 days, it was healed enough for him to voluntarily return home, even though the full stay was still there for assurance. Yet again nothing was paid out of pocket.

For general checkups and appointments, it’s a bit hit or miss, where sometimes you need to pay around $70 AUD, but for others it is fully subsidised. For example, a blood test I had recently was fully free, whereas my most recent dental appointment required payment.

The cool thing is that I actually found out through my MyGov account that Medicare emailed a notice telling me that they owed me $100 and a couple cents, since it was some sort of post-appointment subsidy. Pretty neat honestly, didn’t know at the time they’d even consider doing that.

There’s also a new tier of healthcare facilities which were and are still being built by the Albanese Labor government both last and this term, which are called Urgent Care Clinics, basically being mini hospitals for mainly physical issues like broken arms, cuts or other injuries, which are easy enough to treat. These were created to ease the burden on emergency departments of full blown hospitals, so as to allow more elderly and sick patients to get treatment with less delay.

Pricing for surfaces was already illogically high, why not add more fuel to the fire?

I’ll take that as a sign you’ve never written a single line of code in your life, since if you actually did so, you’d soon realise it’s like having a fast typing, cocaine fuelled intern as a sidekick, who only saw a couple stack overflow code snippets in your language of choice and ran with it.
