argondonor··on 47% of all internet traffic came from bots in 2022?
My main gripe with Discord is the somewhat ephemeral nature of it, due to the search being horrible, as well as not publicly indexed nor easily accessible without an account + an invite to a specific server.
argondonor··on Dutch town installs bat-friendly red LED street lights (2018)
The blue tint disrupts your sleep cycle and helps keep you awake when driving at night. There's definitely a trade off to be had depending on where these lights are located though.
argondonor··on ChatGPT4 writes Stan code so I don’t have to
It is very nice not having to write code from scratch by hand, but I have noticed that by not doing so, my innate familiarity of the code absolutely craters. Making manual changes to the code suddenly becomes a much more tedious and less confident process, and in many cases I am not sure that it's a net benefit (at least in a situation like mine, where there is no oversight and things go straight to prod.)

argondonor··on DIY Van Building with 8020 Extruded Aluminum
What seller has prices that low? I've been looking through and can't find anything near even double that price.
argondonor··on T-Mobile will start charging a $35 fee on all new activations and upgrades
IIRC iPhones are supported, you just will only have access to the T-Mobile network. That and having to re-enter APN settings on every system upgrade are the only constraints from what I remember.
argondonor··on Rockstar Games confirms they were hacked by an outside party
Rockstar had already announced that they were working on it back in February.

argondonor··on Eating meat is good, says the philosopher
But animals don't synthesize B12 either, they only store the B12 that they consume. There's no benefit not to just consume it ourselves.
