There's a bag of parts I don't know what to do with.

Any leftover unused parts are worth extra points.

At least, that's what I tell my spouse.

Maybe I got it done with fewer parts because I found a novel improved solution...

Sometimes my spouse figures out what the extra parts are for... And doesn't seem to mind that using the parts correctly lowers the score I dreamed up...

Immutable distros can usually be set to mutable with the correct privileged command.

It's essentially security by obscurity. But I disagree with "no benefit". An infection miss through dumb luck is still a miss, after all.

Where can i make such a bet?

International stock index funds are, in my option, the best place to make that bet. It's been a losing bet (compared to other index funds) for decades, but you might notice that lots of folks still buy a solid amount as a hedge, anyway, because they agree with you, or at least aren't willing to bet their entire retirement that you're wrong.

Things going to shit, in the US, correlates strongly with Reagen Era economic policies. The term "trickle down economics" says a lot about why it didn't benefit most people.

In my option, all presidents from both major political parties since Reagan have done more to make it worse, than better.

My conclusion is that what's really going on is class warfare by the ultra rich against the rest of us...

I used to always use Minecraft for this. Sure, they can't do everything immediately, but I put the game on peaceful and let them explore at their own pace.

I say "used to" because Luanti (formerly MineTest, an open source Minecraft Clone*) is finished and free.

(Okay, Luanti is a lot more than a Minecraft clone. But for this discussion that's all one needs to know.)

Nice. Minecraft used to be my go to answer for a first WASD game, too.

Lately, I recommend Mineclonia on Luanti, because it's free and has stronger optimizations supporting weak laptops and big multiplayer servers. (It's a popular Free Open Source Minecraft Clone).

This was really helpful. Thank you.

I remember those days, as well!

I bought a "fixer-upper" recently, so I fill most days off with minor home repair projects. I'm using it as an excuse to build a decent little project workbench, though.

Just so you know, this isn't Reddit. You've just been blocked by everyone reading along here.

If you start to feel like no one replies here, it's actually you, in this case. It could help to try again with a new account.

Sure some people might say hi back but that doesn't mean they're a friend.

True. But I've had some great friendships grow after years of just "hi" in passing. We weren't friends yet, but we were destined to become friends.

I'm with you.

Thankfully, corporate bullahit isn't the only way to create a discovery algorithm.

I expect that we will have a diverse set of discovery algorithms available to opt into here, in a few years.
