SantiAchi··on You have only so much time – are you using it right?
It's the SSA's actuarial table, there are enormously important factors outside of that to think about.

I mostly wanted a reference point and a countdown timer with an impossibly large number, but to be able to see it steadily decreasing. That's been somewhat psychologically impactful for myself, but YMMV.

Live long and prosper :)

Yes, also I have yet to find a node module for accurately predicting when people will die. Well, that's not entirely true. I found one but npm keeps failing to pull it.

This seems like the proper place to plug my dumb little side project, an actuarial table calculator that I put together with Alpine.js and a lot of poorly written JS. It's my first "app" though, and I'm happy to share it here if anyone else can use it:

I keep it in a pinned tab to help me recontextualize things when I'm stuck in a poorly functioning dopamine loop. If I'm doing something for leisure, I want to really like doing it, not do it as a holding pattern.

SantiAchi··on Google to build new undersea cable to connect Latin America and the U.S.
That's about 245~ million people and almost all of SA's Atlantic coastline. It might be more appropriate to say it's Eastern South America rather than 'all of Latin America' OR 'southern South America' for that matter..
