Guess what? Chicken butt.

I am eligible. Maybe I’ll start a webpage for 2028. Though I doubt it’s possible without lots of money.

Self hosting is glorious when it works, and a bit frustrating when it doesn’t. I’m using Emby, and I just finished upgrading from an arm 32-bit, to an Intel N300. It was working great until I relocated the new server to a different location. On boot the USB hard drive was just barely working but super slow. Not sure what the issue was, but it’s working after changing USB ports.

Billionaires. They need to be taxed to pay for their externalities, including healthcare and climate change, and poverty too. There’s no way to earn $1B from labor, it must be stolen from the labor of others.

Election fairness. Ranked choice voting, equal access, federal holiday to vote, overturn citizens united, eliminate electoral college, statehood for all citizens, redraw districts by geography, not demographics.

Bodily autonomy as a constitutional amendment. Covers abortion, assisted suicide, tattoos, drug use, plastic surgery, vasectomy, and any other voluntary medical procedures.

Investing in society. Education, healthcare, transportation, grid-scale clean energy storage, environmental health and remediation.

Me too, but for me it depends on my weight. My current and long term normal weight is 178 lbs. Any lighter and I get shakey and light headed when I’ve gone without eating for 3 hours and go on a walk. Above this weight, no problems.

When I hiked the PCT, I dropped to about 160 lbs, and I had to eat with urgency every 2 hours. Newborn babies also eat on this schedule. It makes me believe humans can only really process and store food for 2 hours and beyond that you start pulling reserves. This was also how I felt training for a marathon. I don’t care how fast you can run but it’s not healthy to do it for more than 2 hours. For me this was a half marathon.

I’m aware of long covid risks. My belief to which you are replying is that exposure to viruses is important to continue making antibodies. The study indicates a 25% risk of cognitive impacts from mild COVID cases. I’m not alarmed by that number, and I’m not seeing how it should change my belief about immune system health.

By the year 2100, ambient CO2 will reach 1000 ppm (1 ppt), which is associated with a 10-15% decline in cognition. In many indoor spaces, CO2 levels are much higher than this. I actually got CO2 up to 1800 ppm just driving my car with the air turned off. Anybody who works indoors in a building is at risk of impaired cognition.

I have no hate for vegans. But I am also intolerant of bigotry. There’s more than enough of it coming from the religious right. I don’t need any more of it from the zealous left.

I don’t think it’s good for you physically either. I have been exposed to Covid, probably every few months. The immune system needs to actually see viruses in order to keep making antibodies.

Influenza typically accounts for 1.5% of deaths at its peak every year. Covid has been hovering around 3%. So it’s currently about the same level as a bad flu season. To me this indicates endemic levels. If there is a strain that suddenly starts killing more people, it will make headlines. I’m not trying to be in denial, this is just where I’m at. I’ve had it, and my immune system is doing what it is supposed to do. I’m not worried about contracting it again, unless the a new deadly strain comes out.

Assuming the desktop takes the same power saving techniques from their laptops, there is no real reason to turn it off.

A nice concept for art, but I feel bad for the person after which it’s named. It was maybe funny at first but this poor dude can’t catch a break. So yeah maybe a new name, just hyper art? No need to bully this baseball player and his family for being useless.
