Lol, OK. Yeah. Didn't think about caveats. :D

Ah, fair enough. So that's similar to "infinite universes of infinite possibilities, except light can never go faster than 300.000 km/sec"?

In an infinite list of letters, every single book ever written, every word ever spoken (and to be written/spoken) should be present no?

I guess the only caveat is that in an infinite universe certain physical laws could be universal (which would prevent eg any universe to break the speed of light)? But some version of me having hair past my 30s should certainly exist no?

Or am I getting this completely wrong?

I also prefer electric cars, but goddamn if I haven't gotten a heart attack multiple times from a sneaky silent ev fly past me minding my own business walking on the road. (not every road has sidewalks in the non-US city where I live)

Depending on your local postal laws and how willing your postman is, it would either get delivered, and the delivery address gets asked to pay, or it would not get delivered. Or it would get delivered, with just a little complaint note attached.

I'd argue the risk of non delivery is probably relatively high in most countries.

Place where I live has super good postal delivery. My workplace gets quite a lot of post. They deliver it with a little note to inform you postal fees should be paid.

I absolutely love your posts. I didn't realize you were posting daily. Every time I saw a post (a few ten times) , I tried to interact with it. You've given me some great recommendations for comics. Absolutely loved them.

I look forward to what you have to share in 2025!

I use windows. I haven't paid for a windows key since windows 7 iirc. Windows has been free for years. (I know you pay with your data etc. Good luck convincing average Joe who uses all social media services that this even matters)

For me personally: I really enjoy tiktok. My feed is curated enough over time that I only see stuff I'm genuinely interested in, comedy, science, tech, fitness and ofcourse skimpy dancing ladies. I do not suffer from the so called propaganda on it.

I agree that tiktok melts brains of teenagers, but so does Instagram reels, facebook and YouTube shorts. So that isn't a tiktok issue in itself anymore.

Oh yeah, I also read xiii. Not sure which one I prefer though. Difficult choice.

I like tasty gourmet food. But I also like junk.

I genuinely like a big Mac or a domino pizza. Are they as good as a gourmet burger or a wood oven pizza? Not even close. Can I enjoy them regularly? Absolutely.

My grandfather for sure. No way he would be able to understand the current cultural climate. He basically died from getting worked up about stuff the entire time in the late 90s. I'm 100% sure he never stopped rolling around.

 

I'm traveling to the US mainland for the first time in my life in a few weeks.

I am not overly stressed about privacy, but I have read that US immigration can really overstep their boundaries. Are there any simple specific steps to take on my devices to protect my privace when going through US border control?

Remove my main accounts from my phone/tablet and use dummy accounts? Or just removing my biometrics?

 

I love the content posted here. As someone that has recently started dabbling in AI image Gen, it would be an amazing learning tool to see a) which model was used to generate the image and b) which prompt was given. With a) being most interesting imo.

Is there any reason this is not required?

(hope it's OK to post this here, didn't see anything in the rules about it)
