Buying a Framework laptop always felt ideological, not value-based. Like a statement that you want to support Linux-first hardware. Hard to compete without economy of scale, of course, but that wasn't their main goal.

That picture's probably old enough to drive.

My area needs this sooooo bad. We have one of the highest Lyme disease rates in the country. Unfortunately, Alpha-gal disease is now also in this area, so even with this vaccine, every family walk even near the woods or fields still has to be followed with full body and hair inspections. Every time. So many ticks... Ugh.

Infrastructure is communist. We each need to just have SUVs large enough to roll over the rivers and forests so we can stop building all those commie roads.

20 minute drive out to the honey farmer, 10 minutes to my asparagus guy, 10 minutes to the butcher for some chicken, hmmm if only there were some sort of larger... super large market so that I don't spend so much of my life driving around...

Just another celebrity talking about stuff they don't really know that much about. Jimmy's witty and all, but his "physics is real and everything else is just stamp collecting"... sigh.

Nobody was holding a ~90lb war bow at full draw waiting to hear "Loose". Not possible.

You misspelled "capitalism"

Agree with this for most folks (using on hands or feet) but if you gotta cover more surface area it can get gone. My 8yo kid had a rash on his thighs and back and we used up a tub pretty quick.

"intelligence is a nuanced topic" Understatement champion. Applying your examples "in any form" still doesn't really work since those examples are built on communicating the steps as well as the result. If an animal can intuit precision without showing the work, do we still give credit for intelligence? Jumping spiders, for example, have an extremely developed intuition for parabolic trajectories, but I'd bet real money there's no neural structure in their brains that looks like y^2 = 4ax.

Semaglutides and other weight loss drugs will hopefully make this treatment less needed in the future. I hope this somehow gets funding, testing, and approval before then to help all the folks with existing damage.

And the fact that 40% of all taxes represents less than 20% of their income should tell you how much money they're really holding onto.

As if scientists choose which studies get mis-quoted and sensationalized by media.

Shhhh... shortened lifespan is actually a benefit to the rest of us. You want guys like this voting in their 70s and 80s?

I hope this isn't a photo from mode pandemic... I mean fuck cars and all that, but drive thru was clutch for a bit there.

Interesting. Culturally, France seems like the most child-hostile country in western Europe. I wonder if this is them trying to make children more acceptable in public. Good luck France! You'll have to get over yourself first. Can't take yourself too seriously when children are in the mix.

First time using AliExpress I got scammed. I got a refund, at least, but I haven't been back since.

Neither is actually viewed as healthy. Social parasites are sometimes harder to spot.

For your case it's the transition that's tricky: Friends assume you want to keep being friends and may worry if that changes. After a while they'll give up, assuming you've moved on. If you're sure that's your path then just stay the course, but know that it's harder to come back from if you do get lonely. It's harder to make and keep friends later in life. It's harder to find a spouse if you're alone all the time. Interestingly, a spouse + kids may solve your social obligation/boredom problem.

For my case, wife and kids made keeping friends AND a job impossible. Married men are expected to be present at all times for family now except for when at work. Anything regular outside of work is considered neglectful of either your children or your marriage. No hobbies except those that can be done at home after kids go to bed. No social commitments not involving spouse and/or kids. Fatherhood standards are pretty high these days. I don't have any "friends" anymore, but because I have a family no one asks about it anymore either.

US row house owner here: Air-gapped, sound-insulating walls DO exist here. I never hear my neighbors or their kids. My only regret is having a car when I moved here. It just sits there rusting since I can walk and bike everywhere, including to work. Should have sold it 10 years ago.
