Who would ever want to sneeze faster? 😄

My wife does this too, both of us have the reflex, I just happen to not enjoy sneezing?

Timeless movie!

Probably looking for stories and here I gave some advice. Will sit down now and get some popcorn.

This is a very generic question but I think I know where you’re coming from.

A lot of people react to things rather than consider what effect they want. Look at what you’re doing, and ask yourself if you think this will get you the change or response you want.

i.e. Sometimes yelling, or flipping someone off at road rage can feel good, but it doesn’t get that driver to reconsider their poor driving. Give them a shameful finger wag and you’ve got them thinking…

Pause and reflect on what you expect your behavior to accomplish.

So you’re saying you agree?

Walmart is absolutely a result of capitalism, those intricate supply chains are in place to make money. Maybe we could do it without a common way to track needs for a while, but would it adapt? Would the alternative resist corruption better? The invention of Money almost seems an inevitable consequence from one perspective.

I don’t think this answers the original question, but it’s an interesting side topic.

Donnie Darko is an upside down version of “it’s a wonderful life”

It’s the American dream. What is the quote? We’re all embarrassed potential millionaires?

Have you looked into bone conduction headphones?

Fidelity goes up (!) when you plug your ears. I use them in server rooms and on my bike (sans the earplugs).

Aftershocks is a good brand, basically anything with a titanium band.

Wow, collapse OS is quite the rabbit hole. Makes me think of the bootstrapping work described in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Children_of_the_Sky

Shout out to the Ti-8X users and anyone who remembers zshell.

I doubt this announcement is going to affect the calculators, but it’s amazing to see how many things still run off this technology.

A poignant quote here

"It was a disaster so bad that a new word, Waldsterben, or “forest death,” was minted to describe the result. All the same species and age, the trees were flattened in storms, ravaged by insects and disease — even the survivors were spindly and weak. Forests were now so tidy and bare they were all but dead. "

A friend of mine mentioned ‘Contact’ was the perfect film. I thought about it for some time and found that I agree. The plot, casting, filmography, and score are all top notch.

Beyond favorite there are quite a few films I consider ‘done’ we don’t need sequels or remakes. Most recently the original ‘Willy Wonka’ came to mind.

Why is the website blank white when I open it in mobile Firefox?
