Monument

I’m going to remember him as being the driving factor behind “stop and frisk” which saw an increasingly hostile and racially insensitive police force in America’s biggest city.

Before he was a melting alcoholic, a incompetent lackey for an incompetent wannabe mafioso president, or held the whitewashed and unearned “America’s Mayor” title after 9/11, he was the guy whose cops shot a man 41 times after he ran away from them. I suspect Amado Diallo was running from the cops because just a few years prior, the same police force had sexually assaulted an immigrant - a black man - that was handcuffed in their precinct by

Abner Louima required several corrective surgeries and two months of hospitalization.

So, yeah, that’s the Giuliani I remember. Oh, and when he dressed in drag to entertain Trump.

The advice is that you have to.

Dramatically stated: You have to or you are going to die.
(Disclaimer: Not from this, probably, but eventually. And if you don’t do this, by the time you die, then you won’t have done it. You’ll have missed the opportunity.)

Your body doesn’t make dopamine the way neurotypical bodies do. You won’t get satisfaction from the usual motivators. Create your own satisfaction by taking the time to think about how doing something will increase satisfaction. Give it at least 20 seconds. The taps on the neurotransmitters take a bit to warm up. Maybe take a few moments to savor the same thing at different times to reinforce and remind yourself why doing things is worth it.
Focus on what’s achievable, and what small actions you can take to get there. Don’t get mired in thought, but instead give your effort to the actions you can take. Don’t compare your progress to others.

I also often “Forrest Gump” myself through things when it starts to feel like a slog. ‘I’ve come this far. I might as well keep going.’
This is easier for things that have an endpoint, like a degree or long project. You can’t unwind time that you’ve spent on something, but can waste that time by not finishing. Not finishing offers way less dopamine than finishing.

For one, the sources claim that the Start menu is getting a full rewrite in WinUI 3, which will make it 60% more responsive and notably more customizable.

Customizable for whom?
Users? Advertisers?

And just like everything since windows xp, it’s a an iterative change from the last version with arbitrary things that are broken and only about 3/4 of the way through the product’s life do the features improve to the around the level of promise that was initially made, save for the stuff that’s been removed or intentionally broken to stifle interoperability, or stuffed with advertising.

“We have poor customer data safeguards, confidently present subpar work as acceptable, and have failed to adequately train our intended users but would like you to believe it’s all the users fault.”

My IT department puts anything capable of storing data into a chipper when its time has come. The guys who load the trucks will throw laptops like frisbees into the steel cage that they lock the devices in between the office and the shredder.

They probably wouldn’t care if you gave your laptop a tattoo or even a piercing.

It also makes sense if he’s manipulating the stock market.

I wonder who sold off their oil futures yesterday afternoon and bought stocks.
