adfjalkfja··on Trump wins presidency for second time
Women endorsing Kamala was expected for obvious reasons. And I guess mocking women after the loss should've also been expected for... obvious reasons
adfjalkfja··on Reflections on Luck and Skill from the Part Time Poker Grind
online is getting pretty dicey these days sadly
adfjalkfja··on Sitting and standing at work (2015)
WFH I get up and move around a lot more often. In the office I'd just feel like a distraction, glued to the chair with a guilty feeling

Happened after BTC lost $30k in value. Seems North Korean crackers are busy lately
adfjalkfja··on New study shows highly creative people’s brains work differently from others'
Musicians often talk about songs appearing to them to the point they feel like they can't take credit for 'writing' them. They just appear out of nowhere and are finished in an hour or so.

IME music written this way feels more organic and natural vs 'trying' to write a song over a long time period

adfjalkfja··on The popularity of country music in rural sub Saharan Africa
There's so much terrible country music out there that I admit put me off. But lately I've been listening to Townes Van Zandt and well... my god

adfjalkfja··on Apple's claim is that it bans other browsers for security
Love that I can't use chromecast on any other browser. And how they make youtube ads much much tougher to get away from when you do use it
adfjalkfja··on DevOps is a failure
Big part of my job is convincing the bosses we don't need X new shiny thing... we still waste years chasing random tech that doesn't benefit the customer at all though

Both desktop app and android, also had issues signing up. It didn't like my number

Discord is much, much better IMO and I've never enjoyed Telegram. Probably is better for the general public though
adfjalkfja··on The brain has a ‘low-power mode’ that blunts our senses
> I’ve read that there are limits to how much weight you can lose per week, no matter how much you restrict your caloric intake.

I've been fasting here and there and I'm down from 130Kg to 98Kg in about 5 months. Apparently your body handles that sense of deficiency better if you fast vs multiple small meals. Something about that large meal letting you experience the "I'm so full" feeling.

There's a study in the NEJM where they tested 3 meals a day vs one. The participants ended up at the same weight at the end, but with smaller waists and less belly fat for one meal a day.

It's all interesting albeit frustrating stuff...

I might be remembering the results wrong as I can't find the details in that study, I'm going off this video mainly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thgVz3837l0

If I'm wrong about the results it seems the other benefits make it worthwhile anyway, preventing diabetes etc

You're right that it is depressing how divided people are lately. Being more objective and less of a hater might help fix that.

It won't be a good 6 months for people that bet their retirements, or houses, or savings on the stock market either. Maybe they shouldn't have done that. They are both zero sum games. Both have scams. What's the difference?

I may be pro crypto with a long position, but I still told all those around me to be weary when they were all wanting to buy the peak. None of them were interested at all when BTC was at $4k. Human nature.

Just like it's human nature for the haters to jump out of the woodwork with "I told you so" every time the market wanes, which was my point. They loved it the last go round

Ah well. It's gonna be a good 6 months for the haters

I don't see any problem with people selling their work / art however they want. Looks like he's sold a few for $20~ each, that's a bit different to the dumb cartoon monkey fad.

IMO being completely anti-crypto is a waste of energy

It's basically just a URL right, blame the PnD groups not the 'tech' imo
