Yes. In Italy train travel, and especially bus travel, is still somewhat affordable. In most other places you feel just stupid in paying 100€ to cross 300 kilometres when you can go much farther with 30€ on a plane...

Why not just free psychological assistance? I don't think like a forced test is a good way to fix issues. It's not like the psychologist comes, fixes your brain and then you're all good.

People need to want to improve their life, the psychologist assists in that process.

I'd be amazed if you were the first person testing if those things work. However, I would not be surprised if your specific peripherals do not work as they are supposed to.

If you know someone with a Linux pc it could be easy to test it out.

I love public transport, it is basically the only form of transport I use. I do occasionally drive a car, maybe once or twice a year. That said, I really prefer not to need transport in my day to day life.

I live in a city in Spain. It is an important city, but it is not very large. I walk to work in 20 minutes. From work I walk to the city centre 15 minutes. From the city centre I walk to the woods outside town in 15 minutes. It's not even worth it to wait for the bus to arrive...

I was in the US with my sister. Didn't know whether the bus to get us to town would pass as it was already sunsetting (yes, it did pass we later figured out) as the trip was a couple hours long. One guy stops with his big truck towing a boat and picks us up. Apparently he did not figure out we were hitching, he thought we were waiting for the bus and was afraid for us. Apparently the previous day he had taken the bus for the first time in his 65 years of life and that was one of the most traumatizing experiences in his life. He figured we should not go through the same pains he had to go through...

But yes, American public transport is terrible. While travelling I had decided not to rent a car. I ended up having to make friends with people travelling with cars so that I could go around with them.

Much easier than that: just wait for a while and there won't be no tower anymore.

Either it falls down on its own or people come around to pick a few bricks and stones to build their own house.

I don't like spoilers, but this is a good one. It does not actually spoil the end of the story.

Tap for spoilerIn the very end he does not actually die

How many things relevant in your life are made out of gold? I guess jewellery, computer and phone. Real things that matter to people the most are completely unrelated to gold.

The fact that it is a material that does not degrade makes it a good choice as a vector for value. It is good to be used as money for that reason. If you use iron as money it will eventually rust out and leave you broke.

The other properties of gold are quite irrelevant to the fact that it has been selected (over and over again through history) as a value vector.

I sent them a video begging them to give me a spot in their bunker. I love Replacement.AI, I already sold all my stock to buy theirs.

One time I did not update an arch system for something like 6 months... You can't immagine the troubles I needed to go through to get it into a working state.

[-] ranzispa@mander.xyz 8 points 1 week ago

I used arch extensively. I still have it in a laptop I switch on from time to time. I stopped running it mostly because it is rolling release. I didn't get many problems, but sometimes you do and sometimes you have to spend an hour figuring out what the problem is and how to fix it. I don't want to wake up in the morning with an important video call set up and be unable to participate because the pipe wire config file has been corrupted during update.

Other than that, arch is a good system. But I'd rather keep it on hardware I know I can be without for a day or two if the case comes up.

I'm sure you can find a little bit of value out of a gold crown with 1300 diamonds. The article never says the stolen items have no value, it says they are priceless, as such of a high value which can not be quantified. I guess it is the word "priceless" you're focusing on.
