Exactly. In every crisis, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Out of the last several financial crises, who’s come out for the better? All I see is the widening of the gap between rich and poor.

Makes me wonder about the rhetoric against violence and how ‘we need to be above that’. Where has that message come from?

Considering the current context of the political climate in America, if you didn’t want to associate yourself with Nazis you would steer clear of anything that might associate you with being a Nazi. Especially while on a public podium.

And it’s so annoying! Bring back forums!

Like Pol Pot. I imagine that the generational devastations will be similar in length and intensity.

It’s just a matter of software vs hardware. I prefer hardware because it’s easier and cheaper for me to fix. Others might find software easier and cheaper to fix. Horses for courses.

How’s the takeover going?

You never had to create an account to view anything in the website.

Mindless scrolling was not a thing because links were mostly nested.

It was also extremely easy to chat with perverts on mIRC, the Yahoo chat thing etc. Speaking of chats, all of your chat logs were stored locally on your PC as text files rather than on a cloud so you could delete them if you wanted.

That’s the thing though! I’m specifying well priced lighting that has good support from the supplier, warranties that last 10 years, good colour temperature and degradation rates etc. And the alternatives are nowhere near the same quality and have a dodgy warranty! I’ll put the alternatives through it they’re truly like for like, but it never is.

No, but I did pay $400 for the privilege!

Architectural lighting designer. I love it and hate it. Love the complexity and endless learning about science and tech, and how to apply it creatively. Hate the contractors who put forward alternates and mess up the entire design intent only to pocket the difference.

Currently studying to change careers to be a game dev as a generalist for indie games.

Internal ultrasound scan for me.

It’s exactly what it sounds like.

Well, the Lambo in the driveway will be more obvious than publicly accessible tax records.
