statistically the probability of a fire goes up each time it is spun again.

Stay fit and maintain lean muscle mass. You don’t have to be a crazy fitness nutcase, just try to walk a few miles a day and do some kind of exercise to get your heart rate up 3 times a week or so. Try not to eat total crap, but honestly this matters a lot less than the first part. Be thankful that diminishing returns kick in really early here.

I’m in my mid-50s now. My friends and I are all getting old. Each year the chasm of difference in lifestyles between my fit friends and my unfit friends grows larger. At my age it’s starting to feel bleak and grim. The older you get the more your fitness is going to affect your quality of life and happiness. In your 60s it’s going to determine whether or not you are even mobile without assistance. Aging ain’t fun for anyone, but it’s fucking brutal and painful if you’re out of shape and/or overweight.

The older you are, the harder it is get in shape. But it doesn’t really get any harder to stay in shape once you’re there. Don’t put it off. If you don’t move you’re building towards a future where you can’t.

I was amazed at how little time it took me to develop this habit as an adult. Honestly, just commit to flossing every single day for like 2 weeks straight. It’s just 14 times you’re signing up for. Don’t skip a day.

By the end of the two weeks I bet you’ll feel gross if you skip it and be wondering why you haven’t been flossing your whole life.

Just this one habit change will save you tons of grief and thousands of dollars in dental work over your life. Your gum health affects your overall health in countless ways.

I like those little plastic floss pick things instead of bare floss. Lowers the hassle a lot.

In what way do you feel like apple laptops are just fancy tablets?

The path to a viable third party presidential candidate has to pass through the down ballot races. If you want (for example) a future green party or libertarian president, you need a bunch of governors, senators, and representatives first.

Third parties struggle to get on presidential ballots because they are ineffectual on a national scale. They’re ineffective on a national scale because they barely exist in between presidential elections.

Expecting to change the political landscape from the top down is misguided and unrealistic.

You might not see it as clearly, but that’s our role in society as well

Usenet was the golden age of Reddit for its time. Before the binary newsgroups drowned everything out and web 1.0 captured everyone’s attention.

In a way, it was a lot like Lemmy. Federated servers all inter-exchanged posts to a giant, global message board of newsgroups (roughly analogous to a subreddit or Lemmy community). Anyone could create a newsgroup and there were a lot of them.

When it was good, it fostered the same kind of genuine conversation that Reddit and Lemmy do when they’re at their best. It was full of memes, too, although that word didn’t exist then.

X-No-Archive: yes

This is such an astute and accurate description of crypto and mining. You are a textbook example of projection.

You’re acting weird

I wanted the gay dude who makes Fox News his bitch.

Still pretty fucking hyped to vote, either way.

It doesn’t even make sense as a conspiracy. I hope Biden lives a long, calm life in retirement. But if he did die right now it would be a huge boost to Harris who would now be running for re-election as an incumbent.

Plus, all those dorky “45/47” red hats suddenly become obsolete as Harris is sworn in as the 47th President.

I do this for every website, not just financials. As long as you have a quick and easy way to create the email aliases and you’re using a password manager I think it can be an easy and effective boost to security.

Thanks for helping demonstrate the dynamic I was describing

I’ve learned to keep my mouth shut when my liberal/progressive friends discuss gun control. The left side of that debate is marbled with misunderstandings, misrepresentations of fact, and flawed reasoning.

Gun control isn’t a very important issue to me, but much of the liberal side of the debate just makes me cringe. I’ve learned to just shut up about it, though, because when I speak up I usually get shouted down and abused for going against the groupthink.

No fucking way I ever vote Republican again, though.

This looks like an attempt to reproduce the web-of-trust functions provided by Keybase.io. Keybase has historically been a great resource that fills the same role as the PGP/GnuPG web of trust for a much broader range of identity attestations.

An open implementation of this concept has been sorely needed since Keybase got bought and shitcanned by Zoom during the COVID lockdown. Zoom wanted to aqui-hire all the Keybase devs to boost development on their lacking encryption and security. Sadly, Keybase has basically been abandonware since then.

Five years later? What a half-fast attempt at a joke!
