  • For profit journalism is a curse to the society. All news source globally should be non-profit with ad revenues enough to ensure comfortable wages to reporters. There should be a capped revenue beyond which And any excess ad revenues should be put in a trust that helps to save niche journalism that might not be ad lucrative.

    Of course inflation and national wage should be adjusting said cap every year.

    And that dream will probably never come True in my lifetime, but hey a man can dream.

    My biggest achievement is getting a grand master to play for 34 moves before I lost. Felt like an eternity to think and mind you the grandmaster was playing 16 games together. I would calculate next 10 moves, it will take me 15 minutes and the GM would come and look at board move in under 10 seconds and move on to fuck another player. Our local chapter head got to 41 moves before losing.





  • I had to disconnect power button from mobo because my room mate’s cat would just shut it off, luckily I had a case whose side panel was very easy to open with a hinge, so I tied two cables near the latch and to turn it in, I’d turn the latch open the case, quickly short the cables and close the panel and latch.

    Thanks for reminding me of that. Also I swear that cat knew what I did and kept trying to open the latch for a few months before giving up.

    I used to think that till I met absolute Chad of a man with failing kidney and he would laugh at the situation refuse to be treated, he was like I’m 47 I lived a happy life and I’ll die if ill die but I’m not being bound to a bed, refused multiple dialysis interventions from his family and was clearly getting in pain towards the end, finally sold his very few possessions, gave some money to his youngest sister that struggled financially and took some drugs and died on a beach alone. (he had already gave up one kidney to save a sibling).

    That man clearly didn’t care much about, he didn’t care about his family getting hurt because of his illness and death, he didn’t care about pain to his body, he didn’t care about death, and honestly I saw him 3-4 days before his death, he was still laughing like he was at peace and played a few games of uno with me.

    Yes, but we don’t have proof that universe can’t generate new matter. For all we know there is a mechanism in universe not yet observed that can create new matter out of little vacuum and more stars will keep forming.

    So technically all we can say is, it’s likely that stars will die out in 1000 trillion years.
