  • My wife and I have been on our Sleep Number for almost 6 years now and it’s still going strong. Never had an issue with the pumps or anything. We got the thinnest top version and put our own 4 inch memory foam topper on top, it’s pretty nice.

    We are thinking of changing to whatever they use at Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort. Walked 30k steps in a single day, which for an overweight inactive guy like me was absolutely brutal. Normally the next day I’d be so sore (got bad joints, they hate me), but whatever magic is in those mattresses had me up next morning feeling just fine.

    Do you assume right-handed english-style writing to be the default way everyone writes the world over, in all languages?

    This is just my high talking, but I believe our right-handed dominance is tied to our language being written left to right. Had our ancestors chosen to write from right to left, perhaps we would be a left-handed dominant society.

    If you believe there is an objective reason one is better than the other, then I’m all ears.

    What the fuck is normiecore?

    And your wife isn’t creating anything using ChatGPT. It’s hallucinating with no actual intelligence or creativity that’s trained off actual creative works. If your wife wants to create art, then she needs to pick a medium and get practicing.






  • Eeh, I see it as a gray area. Majority of millenials, myself included, grew up learning about novel technologies as they developed. We learned how to use desktop computers and browse the internet during a ‘golden age’ of innovation. They became part of our everyday lives and are second nature to us. The next generations don’t fully have that experience but are expected to natively know their way around a computer since they’re so ubiquitous in our lives. In reality, they know how to use smart phones and chromebooks but aren’t getting the experience of working on a real desktop computer.

    Regarding teaching kids the basics, I’d put it on the schools, not the parents. Do schools still have computer labs? That’d be where proper computer skills should be taught. If parents can help at home that’s great, but I don’t think it should be expected that every kid is going to have a real computer at home to learn on (versus phones, tablets, chromebooks, etc).
