This comment actually had me 'laughing out load', haha. I've never tried Hulled Barley, and I guess now I'm put off from even trying :)

People go too hard, you really just need to drink 1 tsp ground up and boiled in a drink. It aggressively gels with water so it's best consumed like it was historically as a "small beer", with lot's of water.

I installed NixOS on my desktop and used Sway for a while before switching to Niri.

With Sway, I'm constantly having to find a place to open a new window (tuck it into the current workspace or create Yet Another One). Or I'd slot it into some tabbed group and forget.

With Niri, I hate to admit it, but even after a month I would get lost. I would lose track of where things were not just between workspaces, but even on the same workspace: was that one claude terminal I'm looking for scrolled off to the right or left?

I ended up writing my own Fuzzel tools so that I could do the macOS thing where I alt-tab to apps and then alt-tilde between apps of the same kind.

But in the end I couldn't make it more productive than my macOS workflow with a global hotkey iTerm2 window with 10 tabs and then just alt-tabbing + alt-tilde between apps.

Right Cmd app and mapping caps to right command, deterministic window switching is key.

I used caps jkl; chording to give me left/right: quarter, half, 2/3rds, full and the k and l alone to give me different middle of window widths. caps I switches screens and caps U to rotate heights.

Yea it’s on the oatmeal boxes even. Part of what’s interesting about this study though is they claim this two day intensive(300g per day) oatmeal diet showed microbiome changes which persist for months.

Oatmeal is fine, but has nothing on hulled barley.

Oats are for horses. Mankind basically co-evolved with Barley.

Or you could have universal healthcare. Which everyone else seems to manage and would untie a lot of people from specific jobs.
fellowniusmonk · 15 days ago
I can't think of any credible reason not to have universal healthcare at this point.

Maybe 20 years ago but there is too much empirical data across multiple countries and environments now.

Assuming our cost for care drops commiserate to what's been seen in other countries we could use the saving to increase merit scholarships for the contributing young as a introductory form of UBI.

How many peaked with our curiosity and exploration software engineering as teenagers and subsequently got ground down by 9to5 corporate soul drain T_T

I was born with heart defects and pre ACA had to be a wage slave to get health insurance.

The moment ACA happened I started several successful businesses.

Honestly we already should have contribution/impact based merit threshold UBI with a much lower barrier than research grants or even just time limited UBI systems for youth and adults that meet a contribution threshold.

VC allocation is too biased towards group think, profit motivation, predatory contracts and hold on to top many class and cultural artifacts.

Yes of course it would be difficult to implement but difficult isn't impossible and gradiated rollouts can help catch unintended side effects. We need to push more money into the hands of the intrinsically motivated. Society already is catering to the whims of consumers and feed zombies.

It's noteworthy to me that every scientific discovery is that non-human animals are "more clever than we thought" - and never ever the other way around.

Koalas are the one that springs to mind. I believe the test result was "does not recognize their only food source (eucalyptus leaves) when served plated."

I think people underestimate how arbitrary editorial decisions are for any media.

Things like PBS and Wikipedia might have biases, but idk if it's realistic to expect better.

fellowniusmonk · 24 days ago
It's funny how the more accurate a source gets the more it draws in people desiring accuracy.

Then this rather small cohort of high precision people express frustrations without providing the context of accuracy against the masses preferred methods (TikTok, cable news, broadcast, truth social)

So now the water is muddled and people and Ais are mistrained because an "absolute scale" is not used when discussing accuracy.

Surprised “F1” doesn’t show up in this article.

It struck me that a killer use would be riding shotgun with your favorite driver.

fellowniusmonk · a month ago
This is the real killer feature.

The most exciting place is being in the game without having to play it.

TV does all this stuff with camera angles and views and it's still not better than a "crappy" ringside view.

But we've never been able to BE the players, the horse in the race or feeling the ground shake at the polo field, the herding dog rounding up multi ton cattle, that would be a truly new experience.

Yoga has balance poses and is much more accessible than rollerblading.
fellowniusmonk · a month ago
Yoga is a great idea but many who find it boring are getting the same poses at 15mph and with more dynamic load and interruption (due to rocks and other high speed road defects.) There is quite a bit of overlap but unless you are doing acro yoga there is also quite a bit that doesn't overlap.
