It's been a long time since I've called an image cursed, but that little fucker looks like it pissed on every brick of every tomb in Egypt.

Yeah, I wasn't very particular about how far up the list. Top 50 was probably too much in most cases.

Looking back for my son's birth year, his name is just barely in the top 100 for boys. So top 200 overall.

That's actually more popular than I expected it to be, but it is definitely in the very broad sweet spot we're talking about.

Looking back at my birth year, my name is in the top 10! That's even more surprising because it didn't feel that way at all. I think there was one other kid with the same name in my graduating class of hundreds. Yet I distinctly remember there was one class one year that had SIX "John"s.

edit: that's six Johns out of a single classroom of maybe 30 people at most, not a different graduating class. They were in my grade!

Absolutely, plus since index funds are cap weighted, ordinary retirement fund investing folks are very much vulnerable to it.

If I pull up VTSAX (vanguard total stock market index fund) what I find is...

Sectors: Technology is 38% of the fund and I see 11 sectors listed.

Top 10equity holdings, in order from the top:

NVDA MSFT AAPL AMZN META AVGO (Broadcom) GOOGL TSLA GOOG BRK.B (Almost like its own index fund)

This is fine!!

Not a physicist, but I thought the heat death of the universe also involved all the matter being sucked into black holes and turned into pure energy. There's a big chunk converted up front in the accretion disk, then the rest is converted into hawking radiation as the black hole(s) evaporate over the oodles and oodles of years.

Whether or not there are also lumps of iron-56 or other matter floating around in the cold void probably depends on the real truth behind dark matter and dark energy and their long-term behavior.

I used to be somebody who checked tire pressures much more often. Oil level too.

But even though our current vehicles are 12 and 13 years old, the tire pressure monitoring works right away on a cold day, and its threshold before turning on the light isn't super low. It's high 20s psi I believe.

It's not that I want to ignore the workings of my car. I often enjoy using my phone olconnected to my bluetooth OBDII scanner to provide a bunch of extra gauges. I drive an old Mazda3 and it doesn't even have a temperature gauge, just a light. So it's cool being able to monitor coolant temperature, voltage, actual gallons of fuel in the tank, and various other sensors if I feel like it.

That doesn't sound like it would be best aligned with shareholders' interests, mister! We have a dealer network and a vast web of suppliers and channel partners that those dumb lights can lead our consumers to.

Jellyfin doesn't require client fuckery. Just URL, login, password.

It takes a little more work on the server side though, particularly to use https connections while self hosting.

And I'm not sure what robust subtitle support you're looking for, but jellyfin will show them when I enable them afaik.

Time for a rev bump to DSM-6.66

Well there goes the last shred of doubt I had that I'm high masking AuDHD.

It's not new information, and it's simple stereotypical stuff, but something about the way you phrased it made it hit different.

My kid is exactly like me, so learning how to deal with my issues is doubly valuable.

I feel like pointing out the ignorance or cowardice in this statement is just playing their game.

The main purpose of the statement is to get a scary sound bite from a high ranking government official that the media can use to "credibly" scare millions of people who don't pay close attention to the world around them, and make the American dictatorship more palatable to them.

Then there's always the secondary benefit of rubbing their open hypocrisy in their enemies' faces.

Thanks! That's usually what I'm going for.

When choosing my son's name I had two rules:

1. No super popular top 10 or 20 name. There were plenty of very popular choices that I liked as names. But, I figured let's try to find something at least a little unique for various reasons.

However!

2. They shall not need to spell their name every time they tell it to somebody. This implies a few things, like choosing an established first name people have heard before rather than making something up, and using the common spelling of that name.
