Vacations are a basic need. When did someone convinced you that rest is some luxury for wealthy people?

But you need 2024 phone to run it.

Eating less. When making dinner I wold make half of what I usually made, for lunch I would only have small things like a salad or soup, I stopped supplementing during/after training with gels and recovery drinks, cut out desserts. Went from 68kg to 63kg in couple of months.

Yes, I'm happy you're starting to understand. It's the same as with solar. It just shines on cars and they drive. You don't need to build anything like panels or hydrogen storage or pipes to move it. It's simply free energy. Like coal.

What's wrong with clevo rebrands?

Yeah, coal is also free. I just lays there in the ground. It doesn't cost any money to make it. Obviously you need infrastructure to mine it and burn it but other than that it's free. Right?

Yet the example of the sim you posted (the exact type I had in mind) is from police training. This is exactly what I was talking about: police using military style training and using it in way that desensitizes officers.

I'm not saying the training is exactly the same as in military, I'm not saying it's as common. I'm saying that cops are trigger happy (as in the original article) because of this type of training. In many countries police are trained to shoot only as a last resort (or don't even carry guns). IDK, maybe it's different in US but most people have natural blockades preventing them from shooting others. That it's so easy for US cops to shoot at people for me means that they are trained to do it. All the effort that goes into this type of training should go into de-escalation training instead.

So in military you don't train by shooting at human shaped targets? You're not trained to shoot quickly at pop-up targets? You don't have hand-to-hand combat training? What do you think it's all for? Self control? BS.

Police does the same. They often run simulation after simulation in which they have to fire quickly at simulated people. It all serves the same purpose: remove the natural mental blockades people have that stop them from killing other people. Is desensitize them.

No need to get triggered. I'm not saying cops are trained as well as soldiers. Just that they often use the same techniques.

Flying cars will be the future but I wouldn't buy a flying car today.

Brain-computer interfaces will be the future but I wouldn't implant a chip in my brain today.

Personal AI assistants will be the future but I wouldn't pay $350 for ChatGPT today.

Lot's of things will be great in the future. Bringing it up in the context of existing, silly products is a bit pointless.

Except it's you that keeps writing stupid shit like "solar is free".
