Filters; opt-out of negativity. I switched to Voyager from Boost because it supports filters and I can just blacklist topics that cause me stress. Anywhere I can just stop a topic from ever entering my perception, the better. A single bad headline may ruin my mood for hours from just a glance, better to never get the chance.

Subscriptions; opt-in to the topics and news you care about. Find a good source that offers curated feeds instead of a firehouse of everything. You can only care so much, so use that attention sparingly on things that deserve it.

Avoid algorithms. They are designed to keep your attention on them and outage is good at that. Save your health, find it yourself.

Community. Find people, groups, or organizations that have a similar mindset and share good content with them. If they share good content in kind, you all can improve your state of mind.

An easy answer as it is not for a mortal to decide which gods are deserving, rather the gods must decide by whomever survives.

5 day weeks, 6 weeks per months for 30 days each, 12 months in a year, 5-6 days of celebration of the new year.

I love the idea of working 3 days and being off for 2.

I went to a game for the first time a few years ago. I recall the moment where everyone was sitting around and not doing anything because they were waiting for the commercials to finish. It felt like watching actors drop their characters the moment they step out of the spotlight.

Gauguin, a kenken style sudoku-like game where you place numbers in a grid.

A simple, fun math game with nice customization and difficulty settings.

The classic scapegoats aren’t there this time. Can’t blame him being the wrong race, wrong economic class, wrong mentally, wrong physically, or wrong sexually. Now people are actually looking at the issue that caused the “crime” and that’s not good to some people.

I was shopping for parts for a Halloween costume at the beginning of the month. Christmas music was playing in the store.

I’ve seen a lot of rulers that actually don’t have a mark at 0 and instead go right to the edge as 0. Typically they are worn down, being made of wood, so the accuracy of the first inch is dubious. To ensure the distance is correct, sliding the ruler down one unit is a good idea. So, my ruler starts at 0 but my measurements start at 1.

Wichi-nah.

Yours doesn’t? Every one around me does. There is a mute button, and it has always been labeled, so I just wack mute and look at something else.

Is paying for something for someone else not gifting?

They are external ports for water cooling. They allow you to run the pipes to an exterior location, and I have never seen anyone use them ever. I would leave the rubber grommet as it generally looks nicer than the hole.

Comparatively speaking, it’s safer than coal mining. Wikipedia Nuclear Accidents by Death Toll

I disagree.

• XP felt like it was mine.
• 7 felt like it was mine
• 8 felt like they were trying to force something on me.
• 10 felt like they were pushing bloatware like a cell phone. At least l could remove some of that?
• 11 feels like they decided it’s their computer, I’m just renting time in it by watching ads. You could remove half the programs by default and I would not miss any of them. Do I need a version of minesweeper with micro transactions? No!

• Convert it into 1,500 pennies
• Fashion a slingshot from a balloon, tube, and some tape.
• Have fun shooting cans, balloons, people, etc.

I’m not certain I want to know what this means. I kinda love the idea that this is just an idiom that is or was common. Is it modern? Ancient? Could be either, could be both!

Frodo’s necklace isn’t invisible; therefore, we can assume that it does not work unless worn on a body part specifically, as he is wearing it while it is on the necklace but he is not invisible.

The real question is what body parts would work. Fingers obviously do, but would toes? Cockring? Nose piercing? Could you say that the ring being in his butt counts as wearing it? If someone can go outside wearing nothing but a buttplug, then there is some president.

Can only buttplugs be worn, or can anything be worn in the butt? Is a ring a buttplug? Cash or credit?

Only if you’re doing it right. Witnesses are a problem.

Wait, did you say vacation?
