  • I started using my public library more often this year and was surprised with how easy is to use their system to reserve or even asks for books they may not have. Been reading a lot because of that without spending a penny. The best part for me at least is having a deadline to return the book, this creates a bit of a sense of urgency which makes me read more consistently as if you get newer ones you have to get in a borrow queue and there’s no way to extend it.

    It’s also worth mentioning that depending on the library you may get some perks like LinkedIn learning for free as well.




  • Yeah. It’s really sad that a lot of people on remote areas in the Amazon will be affected by a ban on starlink. They also spent quite a bit of money for Brazil’s standards on the equipment as well.

    Still, this shouldn’t be the reason to put anyone above the law, no one should be above a county’s law.

    If this actually happens it may really backfire on Elon and all companies he’s involved, at least in Brazil.

    As you invested your money in one of his companies products and now because of his massive ego/lack of mental stability you either lost support, functionality or access to parts (for maintenance of hardware) and I doubt any of his companies would pay their users for this inconvenience. This would make using any of the products he’s involved with too risky, better to just use a more “mentally stable” competitor even if the service or product is slightly worse.






  • I remember watching a video not long ago about this girl in South Korea who went to uni, couldn’t find a job in her area. Then started doing web development and also had to work in a convenience store and could barely survive.

    I know there’s a lot of people who never wanted to have kids to begin with and that pop decline is a worldwide phenomenon right now. However, even if someone wanted to have kids, how the heck can you do it if you can barely survive even with 2 jobs?
