A little evolutionary pressure can't be a bad thing, right?

But what value is credit score, really? Like, the most mundane thing credit score might affect is that you have to put a deposit down to get a fancy phone, or an internet service.

No one's buying houses, no one needs to buy a car on credit, etc. Credit score is highly overrated, no?

This is mission critical.

Whether the measurements are accurate enough is not clear, but they are certainly precise enough. I (and all my friends) can easily see huge differences in HRV on nights of drinking, it's pretty amazing.

It's pretty awful. Though they seem to be capable of detecting terrible sleep, at least. Gotta love a 40 sleep score night.

Sadly my experience is that keto did absolutely nothing for my overall mood. Strict keto for many (6+?) months. I was quite disappointed by my own lack of results, mentally. Physically: absolutely amazing results.

In Economy (not lay-flat) the best feature of having a window is about having a wall next to you for sleeping, not for sight-seeing.

He (Laz) only creates special races, truly sadistic ones. He has zero interest in putting on regular 100 milers. There are thousands of those, but his races are among the most challenging and interesting in the world. He also invented the even more sadistic Backyard Ultra format!

Exactly. Plus people that finish it can run really hilly 100 milers in ~16 hours. And they finish this one ins just under 60 hours. So I'm guessing it's quite a bit more than 100 miles!

Just did some searching.

According to stats Canada, in 2022 there were 334,081 total deaths (https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=131003...). There were 13,241 MAID deaths reported in Canada in 2022, according to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_in_Canada). So that's 3.96 % in 2022. So I guess the claim of 5 % is actually possible.

That is a hilariously complex first guess.

Second vote for Paw. I also was not happy about the buyout. It has some quirks, but pretty awesome overall.

As some higher-up comments have stated, since the answer is Closed as duplicate, it is more limited to interaction than a regular open answer.

Also editing an answer to something completely different is definitely not in the right way to "solve" bad answers, I think. My guess is the edits would be revoked, in any case.

People are going to complain "This Neuromancer story totally rips off the Matrix!", before realizing the order of operations.

What an idiotic philosophy.

> If we don’t cause an extinction event, earth will do it just fine without us.

But we are, clearly.

Grow up. What a stupid thing to brag about. And in no way refutes the original point, that it's disgusting, stupid, and inconsiderate. But obviously you know that and don't care.

> This false premise that "living alone" is some sort of social achievement needs to end.

I agree. I find the idea of living around other people absolutely detestable, but I do often wonder how much of this is cultural.

Nice work! I love underground documentation. Dubious font color choice ;)

If you like long long walks, you could check out trail running / ultramarathon groups. Lots of people to meet at free running nights, which is twice a week at every running store. You don't even have to run! Just walk!

Do you have a dog? You could do dog training. Do you do art? You could take art classes. Do you like to code? (Obviously) Go to coding meetups. Do you like writing/poetry? Go to poetry / open mic night. Do you like games? Check out gaming stores for social events.

Do NOT expect to get dates at these places: that's a bad strategy. But try to meet friends at these places. You meet partners by proxy, and by having fun with your friends.

As a straight male: it's a lot easier to meet guys than to meet girls. Use that strategy.

Second this. Bouldering is the MOST social sport on earth. Literally 80 % of the night is sitting around chatting. Plus it's full of young, fit, healthy people, and a good quantity of women. It's honestly perfect.

I have met several great partners through dating apps, but it's certainly not easy. Very demoralizing. It's a grind.

I met one partner at my sport club, one partner at UFC night (friend of a friend) and my current g/f I met through my brother. I would say it's certainly easiest to meet people "humanely" in person. It won't break your soul like online dating, but it honestly requires just as much effort.

You have to GO to parties. You have to hang out with your friends, a lot. You cannot be looking for a girlfriend, but try to keep expanding your circle. Like, I have some friends who do not have ONE attractive single friend. Attractive people congregate, so try to hang out with more interesting, sociable, attractive friends. This sounds like weird advice, but I think "choose your friends wisely" applies to many facets of life, and dating is certainly one of them.

I'm curious to know if authors of great books know the "ending" ahead of time? In Stephen King's case, I'd say "no". In John Irving's case, where the ending is often "put the book down in awe", I'd assume he MUST, right?

I'd love to write a book, I have ideas, I just don't know if I'll ever have a good ending.

This must be the curse of most aspiring writers!?

> which I admit I personally despise

That's extremely funny. I don't even notice them, but my dad ruined his sun visor once trying to get those damned stickers off, hahaha.

Pushups, air squats, DB military press, neck exercises, walk around the house, adjust your standing desk height for the next block of work.

I despise ads, and cancelled my Prime immediately upon hearing the news about "additional ad free fee". I did watch a lot of their movies, but at the price it was hardly worth it to begin with.

Coding and software development are an amazing outlet for creativity. Software developers have the potential to do truly amazing, fun, useful things.

I think that's why coding on the weekends is such a prevalent "problem". Of course, I don't think it's "the" problem at all.

I believe that a significant quantity of right-wing posts, on Reddit, Facebook, etc. are not only shared by idiots, but are in fact blatant political cyber-warfare.

Just as an example: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN1CZ2OF/

Things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romana_Didulo didn't emerge in a vacuum.

It's always surprised me how the governments in power have done almost nothing to counteract this, given how political the misinformation can be.

As an example, the federal liberal government in Canada is facing an onslaught of very right wing American-style propaganda. Why not actually take steps to minimize this?

One thing I don't understand is the why the door isn't designed so that pressure doesn't seal it tighter. Like a manhold cover. It seems at least the door needs to be "lifted" to be removed, so the missing bolts hold it down (but presumably do not hold against outward pressure).

I guess that's why it doesn't immediately fall out.

Has anyone seen mechanical or assembly drawings of these things?
