How did they bar train the maine coon?

Youtube apparently.

You're not doing anything wrong in my opinion. Some of us just don't get an endorphin boost from exercise.

I'm a marathon runner and I have never experienced a runner's high or whatever these other people get from normal training.

There's this chart about "types of fun" that finally made it click for me. Some people find the mundane training as "Type I" fun. Some of us have activities that are this and others that aren't fun in the moment. For me, skiing is type I. Running is not.

I run as a discipline, it feels good looking back on my calendar of training and seeing the work I've put in. So I get Type II fun from it. I like to say "I run for the medals" and that's mostly this concept. I don't run for the fun, I train for the PR or the "win" or a medal. It's seeing my work pay off, my discipline for months on end being paid out.

So it's not the running, it's achieving the hard goal I set. Anyway, I hope this makes you feel seen. It's really frustrating to see all the hype about endorphins or whatever being a mood booster, but that's not the reality for a lot of people.

Also good job on the consistency for a year! That's impressive! Especially without the mood boost other people get!!

Teenage Engineering is a hardware design firm that Nothing contracts with for hardware design. They aren't a division of Nothing and they don't work on just earbuds.

This was my favorite quote from the article.

But neither of those books was actually checked out from the Hayden Library on his trip. One of the books was checked out from another library, and another was stolen off the shelves. Norris refused to return the books at first, and Alexa Eccles, the executive director of the Community Library Network, told me in a phone call that, when Norris eventually returned them, the barcodes had been cut out of the book covers, and the library has not been able to return them to circulation or get new copies.

Beeper Mini registered your phone number with Apple and connected directly to the iMessage servers. That version was killed after three days of usage. The mac mini farm still works but that's just through an apple ID email address.

Happy to be able to help foster an amazing community of fellow literature lovers and writers! Please reach out if you need anything at all, I'm always watching. 👀

Just kidding. Maybe.

Haha I was just about to post an update as well. Great minds are timed correctly it seems!

We upgraded from v0.19.3 to v0.19.5. The release notes for v0.19.4 have all the goodies, v0.19.5 was more of a hotfix update. I will post links below to those. We also upgraded to postgres v16 which should quell some of the memory leaks we have been having causing unresponsiveness and slow performance (we'll see I'm still unsure if this will pan out.)

Thank you for the patience everyone!

lol I was just wondering because my cats are so fucking skittish at everything so I wasn't sure if there was a slower process of getting them acclimated to different social settings that are more manageable and predictable. Then easing into the bar because I find bar environments sometimes overwhelming and I'm a human!

Ah the classic "oh it was just a joke" strat.

So for transparency sake for the backups we are using dockerized restic with a script that dumps the database and encrypts and uploads to backblaze b2 for us automatically at 5am UTC.

I have it configured currently to

• Keep the last snapshot.
• Keep the last 7 daily snapshots.
• Keep the last 4 weekly snapshots.
• Keep the last 3 monthly snapshots.
• Keep the last yearly snapshot.

So we have a nice range of restore points if needed.

I'm not trying to start a flame war about film underneath your comment here but I've been bothered for hours so I decided to come back.

Kodak is one of the handful of companies left in the world that can still produce film stock. It's almost a lost art at this point. They are the only ones that still produce color positive film - Ektachrome (E100) - and they also have the highest quality color negative film still on the market right now - their Portra line.

I wish it was as simple as not making mass market junk like disposable point and shoots and Kodak would be saved, but unfortunately it's not that simple. They already own the film stock market - even hipster stocks like Cinestill are using Kodak movie film that is modified to shoot in 35mm and medium format cameras. Ilford is trying to make color negative films again after years of only producing b&w and it's getting better and closer to Kodak's cheaper stocks (gold/colorplus) but nothing touches the latitude of their Portra line. And obviously there's nothing like slide film, color positive E100 is truly one of the coolest things you can shoot these days.

For me personally, shooting on film is going back to the physicalness, the manualness of taking a photo. It's the act of using something physical to capture a memory instead of just taking a million photos on my phone that I'll never look at again. Getting my rolls back and looking through them is the highlight of my month haha. Organizing my negatives and getting prints and making memories is so much joy that is just lost when I use digital cameras.

Losing Kodak to financial attrition would be a tragedy to a small but passionate (and growing!) community.

It does appear that they have ideas on working through this debt and buying time though so we'll see.

Thanks for reading!

We're around with no plans to shut down!

Sorry all, the postgres database crashed and I was out of town...
