When I learned this, I also learned that in the Appalachian Mountains, the valleys were the peaks originally and the peaks are what were the valleys. This has to do with the type of rock and the erosion that has happened; the original peaks were a softer rock. That mountain range was extremely tall at one point.
Re:My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file (2020)
on Friday December 12, 2025 @10:34AM (#46245080)
This is the way. Obviously as mentioned, a calendar is a pre-requisite and for me so are various note-taking/writing systems such as a physical notebook, more .txt files, and sometimes heavier stuff like Google Docs. But those are only for deeper work or archival stuff. Most everything starts and and ends right in thst one .txt file. Each day new stuff goes at the top. Sometimes I go through it and delete things that have become meaningless or will never be useful.

The angle that has always perturbed me about EA is the implication (or outright accusation, really) that the entire philanthropy world is full of useless bozos ineffectually stumbling around failing to help people.
While greater efficiencies are always welcome, it seem immature or unwise to bring the “Well I tell ya what I’d do…” attitude to incredibly complex messy human endeavors like philanthropy. Ditto for politics. Rather get in there and learn why these systems are so messy…that’s life, really.

Re:Electricity can heal wounds three times as fast (2023)

Indeed, the takeaway I get from this is how we tend to underestimate how long healing takes. People expect major injuries to be healed in 6 weeks, but it often takes that long to simply turn the corner toward full healing.

Man I went straight for psydub info. Back about 5 years ago I stumbled onto so some really interesting “psydub” playlists on Spotify with very strange song names and I thought I’d really found something good. Then poof! they disappeared one day and nothing labeled “psydub” seems to hit the mark and I don’t know what the hell that stuff was that disappeared.

Well she’s done a massive service exposing these absolutely imbecilic people at Facebook. It’s depressing, but aslo helpful to know definitively that our next step as a culture can safely be to end the cult of the billionaire. They do not deserve our admiration, and there is no place for them in public policy.

It is so true. Pick up any well-regarded book even quick short ones and the depth of information, insight, and connection you get put most online things to shame. Like it’s not even close compared to good blogs, podcasts, and videos…books run circles around them.
