I often have this problem but can perfectly remember a word in a different language that fits. Sometimes it sounds like I’m trying to be pretentious dropping foreign words while I’m just bad at brain.

Eh, there are jobs, like security analysis or IT integration on a budget that thrive on this rabbit hole quirk. But in a lot of cases it’s a disability.
magikmw@lemm.eeto science@lemmy.world•Once ‘dead’ thrusters on the farthest spacecraft from Earth are in action againEnglish2·18 days agoYou can compare the trip to the circumnavigation attempts in the age of discovery, you may never see your home again, and die of dehydration in the middle of endless ocean.
But you can still breathe freely in the middle of the ocean. Space is more akin to sittting in a submarine, where to surface you need to travel for several months.

People really underestimate how unique and cool our planet is with all that’s going on.
Now, sending robots, and bringing some stuff back for analysis… Why not? Way cheaper too.

magikmw@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•"Pure Insanity": 1 Air Traffic Controller Reportedly Managed All Flights At Newark Liberty For 3 Hours4·19 days agoNothing happend so nobody is to blame for anything. IF something happened, then yes, the person would be held accountable, perhaps not too harshly, but still.
Same situation: long haul driver doesn’t get a second driver for a 14h run. Management shrugs, he drives for 12, falls asleep and kills someone. He is responsible, but he perhaps was also coerced, and the responsibility is on a company as well.
Not everything is clear cut, as much as we’d like.

This type of heroics can kill people.
I lived in a similiar belief about my country politics, and now I know there’s no easier thing than to indoctrinate children.
I think you figured it out. It’s not about immigrants, it’s about undesirables.
And those can be political or social - look up the first targets of German or USSR occupation in 1939 Poland, or who Khmer Rouge killed.
The goal is to keep the docile, undeducated masses, and everyone that “stirs the pot” gets erased.
magikmw@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•The Fitbit Sense line is cooked because it was too good for GoogleEnglish12·27 days agoI had two fitbit trackers before getting Sense, and honestly, I keep it on life support, buying replacement 3rd party straps and charging cables.
When it inevitably dies, I’d move on. I never found a use for Google assistant, it can’t even set my google maps navigation properly, can’t set a reminder.
The only thing it ever did of value to me is 5 minutes of asking it for a joke.
Just don’t talk to anyone about it, ok?
Talk about what?

magikmw@lemm.eeto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Oxford Professor: Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero citiesEnglish0·2 months agoSummer was unbearably hot, and I decided to commute via a bus with AC instead of a bike, but in september I started using a bike and didn’t stop unless there was pouring or there was snow on the ground.
I even in mild rain I just took my bike. First winter season I used a bike at all, not to mention riding in a full face cover, leather or ski gloves with a ski jacket.
I also researched some motorbike rain pants but we’re in a decade long drought, so far didn’t need them.
One thing tho. If it’s raining you better have disk breaks, the clampy ones just slip on wet wheels. I had to re-learn how to stop safely.

It’s going on a sidequest.
Poland is a parlimentary republic. President is mostly symbolic, but does have veto power over legislation, so they can lock the parliment that doesn’t have a 2/3rd majority.
