Weird falling asleep happens to me too. The $5 acupressure mat is so deeply relaxing. And also helps me heal faster from bouts of lower back prolapse. Would definitely recommend, best $5 ever spent.

It takes some conditioning, you most likely won't last 5+ minutes the first time.

Where did you find an acupressure mat for $5? The cheapest I’m seeing on online is $20.

I saw Musk saying a couple of days ago that we've "hit the limit of peak data" for training AI. My immediate reaction was no, surely you have not trained on every copyrighted textbook on every subject ever written. You hit the peak of easily accessible internet data that you could quickly steal to train your models.

I can’t help but think that’s the real reasons he wants five billets from every federal worker every week. Free, hot, and fresh data!

If that is the case, how did this government get a majority?

The electoral college rigs the game. If one person equaled one vote, American government could look significantly different right now.

I’m Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom - Jason Pargin. It’s about what happens when individually radicalized people collide.

We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor

Very entertaining sci-fi. I tore through it a a couple of days.

Great series. I still think about Archimedes often.

This is very relevant to my industry (escape rooms). Our mailing lists quickly reach 10,000+ and unsubscribes happen often.

I was so focused on deliverability with Mailchimp that I didn’t realize (until I just checked) that I’ve been paying for 2,000 unsubscribers. I had assumed I wasn’t. Deleting them would have moved me down a tier. Strongly considering MailerLite now.

Just throwing in my left handed anecdote here: the bottom of my hand was always covered in pencil graphite when I was in school because your hand drags over what you've been writing from left -> right. Also ring binders were a pain in the ass (your hand is blocked at the left margin lol)

As a child I solved this problem by rotating my paper 90° to the right and writing “down”. Still do it til this day.

Although it gets awkward when someone wants to hold the paper for me while I sign. I have to gently tug it away from them so I can turn it.

It is indeed heartbreaking. But I don't see moral outrage solving the issue any time soon. People will rather forget about this reality than stop the consumption.

If anyone wants to actually work towards solving the issue they should probably go there and try to invest in ways to clean up the practice. Better tools, better profitability. Education. Etc.

> go there and try to invest in ways to clean up the practice.

You think the problem that needs to be solved is “there”? This sentence makes me question whose consumption you’re referring to in the previous sentence.

greedylizard commented on Hezbollah hand-held radios detonate across Lebanon, sources say   reuters.com/world/middle-... · Posted by u/shmatt

There’s a “live by the sword, die by the sword” reaction that I have to this.

I think we expect better of democracies, which is why these kinds of attacks shock us. But it is interesting that we are unsurprised when Lebanon/Hezbollah uses terror tactics but it quickly becomes a news event when Israel responds in kind.

Ironic because drone bombings like we did in Afghanistan would probably have a much more terrible collateral damage effect but be less newsworthy. But somehow boobytrapping radios and pagers pricks our conscience. Maybe because it feels more personal, intimate, and therefore retributive?

I wasn’t aware those terrorists organizations had exploded devices in public spaces. Please share your source.

Faster ODA loop, much shallower incorporation of energy tactics and greater strategy. F-16 is not an energy fighter though, it's a dog fighter (at least in original design). Not surprising to see much faster ODA loop win out.

Do you mean OODA loop? Observe Orient Decide Act?
