Going on daily walks or short trips to a gym a couple days per week. I feel so much better after I started consistently exercising, both mentally and physically.

So that’s how circular saw blades are made… never knew.
Spot on, buddy. There are efforts in the US Congress to make DST permanent. The main pushback is from the medical community… Humans are not nocturnal animals. Exposure to morning sunlight is linked to better health. Standard time provides more morning sunlight overall. However, people tend to consume more products in the afternoon or evening so it’s no surprise to hear businesses and their protectors, politicians, pushing for more evening sunlight. Switching between DST and standard also results in more accidental deaths and lost productivity, as others have pointed out in this thread. We have a shitty compromise currently in the US and some other countries. Most of the world does not indulge in this absurd practice, so I doubt the US will ever get on the right track in this area. Much like the metric/imperial system problem.
I’ve never heard anyone who likes DST… this thread confirms my bias. Arizona has it right. We have internet now, no need to change clocks, just update your schedules for the season.
Can’t change the default match pattern that iOS uses or add apps to the URI match in Bitwarden iOS. Makes for a few extra clicks on some apps and sites.
Forgot the /s. Definitely share that recipe. Chick peas are amazing but I’ve never heard of making French toast with them. Spices are so vast, making a top five is really just about what’s in my nose and on my palate. Cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, coffee, brown sugar. There’s another five.
I’m glad you think so. My French toast never comes out right but maybe I need more garlic. Or should I put cinnamon on the list?
- Garlic
- Smoked paprika
- Cayenne pepper
- Onion
- Dill
My neighborhood has bulk trash pickup monthly. Most of the bulk trash gets put out the week prior to pickup day. The majority of this trash doesn’t make it to the dump! People with trailers come by and pick up anything remotely usable. I like to think they are reusing/upcycling this stuff but I really don’t know. I see this as a huge win because it keeps stuff out of the dump but it does feel very dystopian to see a junk economy like something from Fallout.
I’m in the USA btw. Others have pointed out that some countries have different laws regarding ownership of trash. Don’t get in trouble with law enforcement, get to know your neighbors better! It’s not trash if they give it to you.
If you can find a Samsung Galaxy Tab s5e, they’re cheap and remarkably functional for the price and size. I’ve been using one for years for light use. Mainly streaming media and internet browsing. Accessories can be a bit limited due to the age of the device.
Otherwise, an older iPad will not disappoint.
Tablets have really matured recently. Not all changes have been good but the average price for an actually usable tablet has dropped across the board.
The Surface Book is a distinct product line from the Surface Pro. The Pro series is a tablet form-factor and what most people think of when they talk about MS Surface devices. They’re on the ninth generation of these if you don’t count the Pro X (ARM) devices. I’ve used an old fourth generation recently and it holds up as long as the glued-in battery isn’t dead. The Surface Book starts at way too high of a price ($1200 IIRC) and has several anti-consumer tactics deployed in its construction. A cheap Surface Pro may be a good investment. A Surface Book is not, from my personal experience. There are also the Surface “Go” devices. These are built smaller and with cheaper internals. Not bad but definitely limiting compared to the Pro series. Think Apple-clone netbooks/tablets built by Microsoft…

What do you say to corporate apologists or climate change deniers? It’s a similar dynamic to unions and scabs. We’re all in this together but scabs undermine the union by providing a workforce to undermine the solidarity of the union in a strike. This isn’t a rhetorical question. What can we say to reach people that don’t believe or don’t care about the consequences of corporate greed?
