You might find this video helpful to understand that you’re not alone in this.

Also I feel the same way. I’d rather not experience the pain and suffering, but I’m here anyway and therefore I’ll occupy my time doing things I think have meaning.

For me that’s using my ability to engineer things that people find helpful and make life better.

Raise hell.

That sucks man. Sorry that happened to you. I hope you’re doing ok today though, sending good vibes 🫂

Yeah, why would you spend money clearing out trash, piss, and shit from them when everyone has mobile phones.

I mean, if you give this a long enough timeframe (decades) then this also applies to when you meet your future spouse at the bar.

Or a second one so you can have a nice path down the middle.

I believe you are mistaking research for innovation. I don’t fault you for that as they’re often talked about in the same breath in the media.

What it should be framed around is Technology Readiness Levels (TRL). And innovation can happen at any level and usually rapidly advances the technology up several levels.

So most public sector research and innovation happens around TRL 1, 2, 3, and 4. Large privately owned labs operate around TRL 5 and 6. R&D departments in private companies work in TRL 7, 8, and 9.

Raise hell.

Compeed Blister Plasters. They are the best and excellent to have on hand after a long walk or breaking in new boots. No other brand or non-name brand comes even close.

Using Reddit on web is no good for me since I can’t look at it during work and at home I’d rather watch YouTube.

Baconreader was the only 3rd party app I liked and now Connect for Lemmy is a good replacement for it to check occasionally.

I also like that there’s less new posts compared with Reddit so I now spend more time reading than I did before.

Also the community here feels much more welcoming.

Up Lemmy!
