Meltrax

I've started reading the somewhat expansive Cosmere universe of books by Brandon Sanderson.

I like actually reading, but there is a LOT to get through, so I'm reading the series (a couple trilogies, a series of 5 books) in actual print, and listening to the standalone novels in the universe on audio.

It's actually been a nice day to keep moving through all the different overlapping character lines. One particular character, who I'll call H, spans the various worlds and stories often. It's fun reading something about H in one book and then hearing him as the narrator or showing up as a character in the audio book I'm listening to later.

I flew into Boston from Europe three weeks ago.

I also flew into NYC from Europe earlier this year.

They use images of your face and biometrics. This is how travel works. It has nothing to do with how civilized you think you are.

Have you flown international lately? This is what it looks like to land in the international terminal in most major US airports as well.

Either is better than Nord. Definitely drop Nord.

Hulu. Best collection of shows for me, right now.

Spotify. I listen to music constantly, it's a necessity.

Libro.fm for audiobooks, and supporting my local book store.

My gym membership (lumping Zwift in there too). I exercise a lot, like 15+ hours per week. These are part of my chosen lifestyle.

Opensnow. The only phone app I pay for. It's a weather app but better if you're a skier/snowboarder.

RuneScape. I love OSRS and I enjoy playing in my downtime. I'm an adult, I can do what I want.

The third of Arthur C Clarke's three laws:

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

I feel like more people could benefit from remembering "American Melting Pot".

But I personally love "Little 12 Toes" .

Dude I'm a millennial, why are you talking like a decrepit retiree? We aren't that old. You shouldn't be that sick unless you have some niche conditions that don't really apply to most "aging millennials".

This guy makes a new account every few weeks because he keeps getting banned. It is terrible to say given his question, but he is an attention whore and doesn't want help. Best to ignore this.

If it is not open source, and you are not paying, someone else is and you are the product.

Unless there is a drastic breakthrough in computing from a hardware company in or energy sources from likely a nuclear company, this is not possible.

Japan?
