  • I have a question for you actually, so I am looking at potentially doing a apprenticeship at a place that does precision machining and they would basically pay for college (assuming I get the role) because I would be working and doing school on and off for a bit of time each but I’m not sure about it.

    I would be learning plc stuff mostly i think and is an automation degree and I’m interested in it because it is all under the umbrella of mechatronics.

    I basically have 3d printing as a hobby on a custom 3d printer i built that I like and I have spent a lot of time helping my dad and brother work on cars and house repairs and know a small amount of some electrical things but not much and I know some engineering things but not much, so its like I have the interest but I don’t yet have the skills, I’m sure I could learn them but its a question for me to know if I want to head that direction or not.

    I guess I’m curious what things you like about automation, I don’t know anyone in it and it was unexpected to see someone randomly in a comments section here doing it.

    The other thing I would do is after or in the middle of the apprenticeship I wanted to also start a computer science degree at a online school called western governors university and it seems about as ideal of a school as I could imagine without the downsides of typical online schools and to me it still seems worth it to learn more computer science things even though people say the area is saturated, as long as I chose the right niche to go into, I think there are plenty of niches available that still skill benefit from these things for a long time as well as probably some unexpected future ones.



  • i too am a long time lay practictioner of tibetan buddhsm, That is the real answer.

    And to add, The Buddhists themselves don’t really focus on the reincarnation aspect as much as one would think, its only ever really something that comes up incidentally like when enough connections about something come together in the right ways to warrant the question that maybe a past life is returning.

    A reincarnated someone would be similar to someone who by their entirety of their atoms to their thoughts, seems to be like this other collection of thoughts and atoms.

    Like the process of identifying the dalai lama is basically for the people searching to hone in on the schema of a dalai lama through any way they can and then when someone matches it they do their tests which are essentially to check if their actions are similar to that of the previous ones.

    The way in which memory of psst lives works is much like lucid dreaming upon your death bed, you go to sleep with awareness of the changing reality and then the dream you end up in preferably made with an intentional choice becomes one solid line of remembrance which leads to kids who remember their past lives directly.







  • Its a term that a relatively large number of businesses and people have agreed to call shoes that have zero drop and thin soles and often but not always, more flexible upper materials that are also shaped to give your toes more wiggle room so your toes actually splay outward correctly when you take steps.

    Feet have a built in spring system that activates when we put enough force on it usually by going at a brisk walking pace or while running called an ankle which allows more momentum to be conserved with each step as well as less load on the rest of the body. Barefoot, also called minimalist shoes, allow people to use their feet correctly which happens to strengthen a variety of feet muscles around the toes and builds some more hard skin on the bottoms of feet so that if you step on things its less likely to hurt as well as holds onto more momentum with each step by being more dense and at the outskirts of where the momentum is going.

    Highly recommend more people try some, even if only just one time for a month.

    I compare barefoot shoes to a manual vs automatic transmission, its technically not a better shoe because shoes with a lot of cushion will conserve more momentum in a more ideal location like certain automatic transmissions (and yes some shoes will make you go faster and so some have been banned from races) but what a barefoot shoe will do, much like how a manual transmission will give you a sense of how the drivetrain is coming together to propel the car and it strengthens your ability to handle more environmental situations with more efficiency, which is very good for our joints long term if we can keep doing it the right way.

    This does mean that we can wear regular shoes with the knowledge of how to move our feet and reap the benefits of both, but we should aim to strike a balance between a barefoot shoe and a regular shoe with a lot of cushion because both have their ups and downs and we dont have to choose between them in many cases.







  • I think what will eventually happen is much like what happened to email, it too was very fragmented feeling early on but more and more adopted it and more servers kept developing and popping up and then at some point more service providers became more similar than alike and then it became what it is now.

    The tricky part is that the concept and usefulness of a federated network mostly only grows in the long run and looks like its not going anywhere in the short term much like email and that is always what makes people question its efficacy.

    Participation in any and all forms is what establishes it more and more.
