Consider the fact that you can change your life slowly with concerted effort. It helps me!

You are allowed to have one quarter life crisis, as a treat!

Also my shiny metal ass

Its called a transpoosion

Why does the first line of the article say the location is New Delhi?

“All that she wants” by Ace of Base. I read a deep dive into the band and it seems like they may have been formed after a neo-nazi group and that song might be about Jews trying to dilute the bloodline… so yeah kinda weird now.

I’m frustrated that this keeps happening (aid money ending up in rich people’s pockets)

Is there any way to mitigate this?

Why don’t they want it to end?

Many substacks…

• Line Noise is a good music one
• Rave New World
• Blackbird Spyplane

For a phone with a minimal UI, there is Light Phone. I almost bought the Nokia “banana phone” because it was used in The Matrix and I love that film. If you want something that will last a long time, maybe Fairphone (tho it is Android)

I guess we’ll see how it goes here with the hallucinations

I’m using Masto a few times a day and I generally like it. I get a good mix of news and pictures. I joined after Twitter became X.

I’m not on Bsky but frankly reading the comments in this thread makes me consider it

I think concrete actually reacts with plastic in some cases (I have read as much)

What happened to your supply to cause leakage?

Sure, plastic isn’t perfect, but it is cheap and easy to get. I have plastic gallons for my house and car. I’m willing to consume a bit of extra plastic in a disaster situation 🙃

IMHO: water is the easiest and most important. Stash some bottles

Like… where do you draw the line?

I’ve got water, a purchased “bug out bag”, camping gear, extra clothes and water in the car, batteries, ham radio, and a crowbar.

I’m not a prepper but I consider myself somewhat prepared

FWIW storing a few extra gallons of water is a very easy prep

If I’m feeling angsty I like early Nine Inch Nails

If I just want to chill then maybe “The K&D Sessions”

FWIW, you actually do generally learn to get your shit together over time, at least somewhat more than the past

I think the move is to hire some smart younger people and listen to their ideas
