djitzon I’ll never be an astronaut

Hello, fellow On-X owner!

I understand the bummer that warfarin can be. I have two pieces of advice.

1. Don’t diet the dose, dose the diet. In other words, don’t try to adjust what and how you eat to fit the mg of warfarin you are taking every week.

2. I believe a large percentage of what you hear regarding warfarin is ridiculously overblown and I almost never place limits on what I do because of some fear of a bleeding event (within reason, of course.)

If you have a PHP application and have found that Ruby allowed you to scale or vice versa, it probably just means the skill level of the dev decision makers improved.

djitzon 50% of new NPM packages are spam

I’ve noticed quite a jump in PHP composer package spam recently, too. A lot of just ever so slightly renamed popular packages. A couple even had quite a few stars on their repo.

djitzon Rotten meat may have been a staple of Stone Age diets

It’s not easy to stalk animals built to spot predators — especially in the terrain where I’ve seen modern persistence hunters.

Many watering hole types of animals also don’t just fall right over after being struck, particularly with a “rudimentary” weapon. Even if you get a decent shot off, you will still most likely be chasing it for quite a while. Not to mention the dangers of what’s hanging around, looking to take what you (hopefully) managed to score.

The odds were not in our favor!

djitzon What if regular exercise is the best cognitive exercise?

Pretty much everyone I’ve ever met who actually knew how to fight well was very friendly and kind. Traveling and showing up at random MMA or BJJ schools is almost always a fantastic experience.

Subjecting the ego to much needed reality checks makes for some nice folks.
