I think the biggest issue is starting your workout with cold muscles. If you’re just doing yoga then it’s no big deal. If you’re running, or hiking, then you don’t really want to do that with cold muscles or injury is more likely.

The future is now, old man!

And do what with it? Live in a partially flooded house, while dosing LSD, and giving it hand jobs?

Biggly. The biggliest in the history of the universe. Everyone’s saying, not me, but some people are saying bigglier than Hitler!

You’re not tricking me into watching that movie for a 47th time! To be fair to me, it was always on broadcast TV when I saw it, so I’d just come in wherever it was in the runtime.

Wow, that’s awful. What a piece of shit.

Damn, $640 for your kid’s natural teeth? Seems expensive.

When has he ever avoided by any laws?

Trump’s SCOTUS: trump isn’t a person, he’s an idea, a movement, therefore term limits are not applicable to him.

Look into Costco hearing aid center. They offer high-end, name brand hearing aids at cost.

Doesn’t Apple natively support this now? I read a few headlines a month ago that they’re supporting software to turn these things into hearing aids.

My last pair was $6500! My current pair was $1500, because I found out that Costco sells them at cost.

They’re not just headphones. They’re several microphones, speakers, Bluetooth devices, and advanced processing computers to make them sound natural, operate in the correct bands and sound amplification levels, and be small & resilient enough to fit into or onto your ears. There’s also the costs of testing, fitting, programming, and all of the other support services that come with them. They do have crazy mark-up everywhere except Costco, but they’re not really comparable to a set of ear buds.

Mutual combat wasn’t uncommon when I was a kid. When two men were sick of each other’s shit, they would fist fight. They wouldn’t fight dirty. When the fight was over they’d often shake hands, and be done with that conflict. The wounds would heal within a couple of weeks. Emotional wounds from harassment and betrayal sometimes never heal.

I used to have a VPN subscription, but most of the places I really wanted to block just blocked me instead. Lots of important services didn’t work, and it was a constant pain. So I just let the subscription expire when it ran out.

I’d bet good money that a skilled malicious actor could find out exactly who you or I am within a single day. Most people don’t even use anonymous email addresses, and any admin log showing their email address, combined with an IP address, would make tracking then down trivial.

It depends entirely on the tech stack it’s hosted on. If it’s hosted on an elastic server then it can support more people than there are in the world.

This song has never failed to get me pumped up. Sometimes when I’m driving around in the constant gloom of the PNW, and I catch myself being morose, I’ll put this song on and yell at the top of my lungs, and then I feel a little better.

I couldn’t really say, but certainly not 1-4 decades. I guess I thought it was a year or two.

Everyone likes tech. Does she understand it?

Rare enough? That’s the understatement of the millennium. We know of exactly one planet with life of any sort.
