I used https://kiwix.org/en/ to download wikipedia originally.

Then I saw in the desktop app that you can download a lot more "wikis" other than wikipedia. This is their library. https://library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng

https://library.kiwix.org/viewer#ifixit_en_all_2024-12/home/home

It includes computers, phones, game consoles, appliances, vehicles, tools, even medical devices and apparel.

I joined the discord, so I get a notification whenever it is time to predict a bracket. Whenever that happens, I do my prediction right away. I don't usually watch the tourney live. But I do go check to see how my predictions went.

Makes me put my money (fake internet points) where my mouth is. So I like it because of that.

It is really easy to use, and free. No real money involved.

Only if the day ends with a major headline.

Talent is hard to define. In my opinion talent = unobserved practice/study.

This picture gets the concept across pretty well. But it can also happen with kids that "happen" to be good at something. Like sports. Was that kid a natural at baseball, or did he just watch a lot of baseball games and played backyard baseball a shit ton so he just knew the rules/strats before any of the other kids?

Some people learn faster than others yes, but learning in itself is a skill.

Maybe this isn't true, but it is definitely 100% more effective than assuming talent is outside of your control or an obstacle that can not be cleared.

You did good. Fostering and developing the younger generation.

I compete in video games (smash bros ult) and there is a lot of humbling experiences when you are unable to beat a child that is 10 years younger than you every week for 2 straight years.

I heard that anonymous is taking credit for the ddos attack today.

If so, fucking finally!

I always had issues with chromecast. And I haven't used one in 5+ years. I assumed they were better by now?

I would find out the 'true' reason why you feel this anxiety.

You say its because of min-maxing, but why do you want to do this? Do you have a lot of activities that you do on the weekend, do you feel rushed, do you feel a lack of control, etc.?

We all have this anxiety in life, some longer than others. For me, I felt like I had little control of my life, so I focused on that and now I feel fine of the weekends. Of course I want them longer, but I manage.

Also, try deliberately 'living in the moment' more actively. Go outside and take a 15 min walk. What do you notice in the walk? How is the weather? Did you neighbor finally clean up that trash on the side of his door? Is the park busy? etc. During your walk act like a detective and soak in all the activities and information around you.

Might help you 'feel more grounded'.

Only if they want to.

And that is a HUGE if. Most people after their formal education decide to stop learning. And learning is the most important form of change.

Love Kojima. Will play anything he makes even for a little because of his legacy.

I am really trying to get into games blind, especially a Kojima experience, but can someone tell me if this is looking like a 'true' Death Stranding 2, as in, the same overall game play loop of delivering packages and finding human connection in the world?

 

I am no longer playing or spectating the game much anymore. But still interested in the scene. So this fantasy league/prediction website is perfect for me. Been having a blast and makes me much more invested on the outcome and bracket path of a tournament.
