A key insight that’s helped me understand why dealing with others can be frustrating is that many people don’t practice basic forms of critical thinking.

• Empathy: putting yourself in the shoes of others to anticipate or understand how they’d react to your behavior or decisions.

• Cause & Effect: if you do X, it will cause Y and people will react in Z way. People failing to understand the incentives they or the system they’re in have created is a surprisingly regular occurrence.

Has anyone played ?

It's pretty good, and free. It's like a mix between Fortnite and Apex Legends. Plays solid on as well, 60 FPS.

If you never hear of me again after tomorrow, it's because I've installed Starfield.

I played a few games of last night and it was a lot of fun!

Keen to get back into too, I played one game but I will wait for the uniqueness that the weekend brings :)

I'm a geologist and this isn't cute or funny. Rocks only climb trees like this when they're very stressed.

I DON'T NETFLIX AND CHILL, I BETAMAX AND RUN AMOK.

Apparently, this coffee-making Commodore 64 peripheral actually existed, produced in Italy in the mid-1980s, to be plugged into the cartridge port of the C64.

I can't at times help but think that I'm in the UK working. My heart, brain and attention is in the Philippines.

Hmmm…it seems #Tumblr keeps labeling one of my blogs as “Mature Content” because I talked about the country #Niger 🇳🇪 (I believe their bots assume I misspelled a racial slur multiple times).

Today, we’re sticking with Volkswagen and the same electric MEB platform as used by yesterday’s ID. Buzz. This is something completely different, the thoroughly modern ID.5, a sort of SUV coupé sister to the slightly staider ID.4. The ID.5 has had some slightly lukewarm reviews but I rather like it.

Weirdly this sort of Ford mentality is exactly why I'd lean away from an Everest over something like a Fortuner or MU-X. Isuzu and Toyota keep it simple and Ford overcomplicates :) And it isn't just suspension, but AWS systems, engines, etc...

I recently noticed that humble little Ford Everests have a Watt's link for the rear axle.

The car geek in me was hugely impressed. I know Ford has used it before, but I didn't expect it on the Everest. I always associate it with old-fashioned race cars like Australian V8 Supercars.

I tried what this article stated and it is true, it points me to potentially dangerous resources and it generates images. But it also gave me a very long health warning. theregister.com/2023/08/15/ai_
