Fair, thanks for the context

The proposed change to UTC globally does not change the accuracy of time measurements. I think it’s a terrible idea, but I fail to see how your point here relates.

I was poking fun at the fact that you called the game by the wrong name. At the time I just figured you also knew the band and your brain made a funny thinko.

Turns out that wasn’t why, I suppose.

Exhibit A vs Exhibit B

. . . and have 100k to spend.

You can get an 84 month auto loan these days if you’re dumb enough to do it.

Kerbal Dust is a great band.

You think people can afford to pay cash?

You’re right, of course. People can’t. But there are gazillions of dollars in private equity sloshing around, particularly now because those dollars have fled the market that Trump’s tariffs are cratering. Private equity is happily ready to soak up all the distressed pricing housing available and turn more people into unwilling, permanent renters.

…animated for some reason

Our scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

It’s a reasonable question. There are countless devices using esp32 chips which do not use the Bluetooth parts of the chip at all.

You are looking at a price and thinking you’re seeing value.

“Permit” even seems like a generous word in this case.

It’s also permissible to celebrate the 4th of July when Jesus came down from Heaven with the Constitution on stone tablets and gave them to the founding fathers.

We’ll never see the almost 2:1 buying power against the Dollar ever again anyway.

You have every reason to be optimistic here as it remains to be seen what Trump will do to the dollar.

Stay fit and maintain lean muscle mass. You don’t have to be a crazy fitness nutcase, just try to walk a few miles a day and do some kind of exercise to get your heart rate up 3 times a week or so. Try not to eat total crap, but honestly this matters a lot less than the first part. Be thankful that diminishing returns kick in really early here.

I’m in my mid-50s now. My friends and I are all getting old. Each year the chasm of difference in lifestyles between my fit friends and my unfit friends grows larger. At my age it’s starting to feel bleak and grim. The older you get the more your fitness is going to affect your quality of life and happiness. In your 60s it’s going to determine whether or not you are even mobile without assistance. Aging ain’t fun for anyone, but it’s fucking brutal and painful if you’re out of shape and/or overweight.

The older you are, the harder it is get in shape. But it doesn’t really get any harder to stay in shape once you’re there. Don’t put it off. If you don’t move you’re building towards a future where you can’t.
