What’s it with the hipster whippets these days? Our neighbor down the street is a hunter /ranger and adopted a whippet (mixed breed I presume) he’s happily hunting with his other, much larger dogs & is the most buff whippet I’ve ever seen. I imagine him as the butch & dominant boyfriend of the hipsters.
I was visiting our public swimming pool, and as I was already there: sauna. But cautiously. Got rid of a really bad hangover with a sauna and swimming in a few hours last spring. Works like magic. Plus of course large amounts of water and fruits.
If you got the basics covered, I recommend Julia Child videos on YouTube, tv cooking in the 50s and 60s, french cuisine, very tasty, much butter, but oh-so-good. And quite simple.
I have wondered many times how a human would fare if the kidneys dumped urine into the start of the large intestines somewhere about the appendix instead of into a bladder to be sprayed out. I’m assuming water would be reabsorbed and slower to process out, primarily through sweat and evaporation from the lungs, and maybe...
Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....
And don’t forget to show your appreciation to the people who maintain that whole shebang - of course, only if you’re able to. Sending here and there 10 bucks, for example to the Newpipe or libretube team - or to your resident open source adblocker - doesn’t hurt, it’s only a few clicks and it really makes a difference.
“I’m not a fan of Elon” understatement of the year. It’s like saying “Bill Gates Looks like a sympathetic uncle, I’d leave him alone with my family anytime” or “Vladimir Putin seems to an open and tolerant man, let’s do that LGBTQ+ event right in front of his palace” or “This Zuckerberg guy is really fair IMO, I’ve for this new business idea, let’s start it with him” . Who’s got another?

Windows is an anachronism. Since I even got my wife and her gaming PC on the light side with Garuda Linux, works like a charm. After that she wanted me to install that “cool blank desktop” I have on my work laptop on her business machine in the shop. Now she loves bspwm. Learning doesn’t make life harder per se, it’s fun.
Bloatware! Even assembly language is barely acceptable, best is directly changing the mechanical relays in your Zuse one, naturally. If you wanna get crazy, change the celluloid strip with another program & get Doom to run on it.
I can’t get that old, ever. I am 45 next year, and it’s like Oscar Wilde had said: “The tragedy of growing old is not that one is old but that one is young” and you have to show that. Starting with jiu jitsu next month. Let’s roll!
Hand planes, Japanese chisels (Nomi) and some other woodworking tools, mostly japanese. If you maintain them properly, they should hold up very very long.

Why do I have to see the face of this idiot almost daily? I don’t use that shit X and never will. What’s the appeal? I even could understand TikTok somehow, but X/Twitter? Where’s the informational value in these completely useless posts there?
Why can’t we have people like him in leading positions? Instead we got what we got. Start at yourself & try to be like Mr Rogers a little bit every day.
Streaming will become like tv eventually, if it isn’t already: only old and/or simple people are interested in it. Almost all people I know don’t watch tv anymore. And let’s be honest: 99.99% of the streaming crap is the same boring assembly line writing that didn’t work in the 90s and doesn’t work now. And to search for the 0.01% - nah, I’ll rather be in my workshop.
Generally to grow old: be content! You don’t need heaps of money, don’t fill a hole in yourself, that’s unfillable, live reasonable (!) healthy, do things in reasonable doses, learn your whole life and in particular: don’t try to get old. It’s not the length of the way, it’s what you experience during your journey.

Interesting. I’m totally hypnotized. That fact this soccer player (I presume) that I don’t know and I don’t wanna know (I think I heard some kids talking about that name) threw a water bottle on a nameless camera guy - who is certainly a character with more depth and an infinitely more interesting personality (according to my experience with professional soccer players) - is so stupendous, I couldn’t talk for a moment and I actually went blind for a few seconds. Is there something like an inforgasmus? This information hit me hard & I have to confess, I wasn’t ready. WoW.
You are human. That’s what it means. That entitled old bitch who clearly cannot (or just won’t) realistically estimate the space left on drifting doors. She clearly wanted to get rid of that poor mofo after she was done with him. Freezing and suddenly clear in her rich-kid mind she just didn’t want to spend her days in the backseat of damp old-timers and his breath was awful, all those rotten teeth of the working class.
