Just reuse that machine gun equipped quadcopter/drone and now you’ve got a direct-to-three letter agency side hustle.
Just got mine in the mail a few weeks ago but only after ordering it last year. I don’t really game anymore so it just collects dust. It is beautiful though.

I find the conversation around diet extremely myopic. If the goal is to lead a long and healthy life, the minutiae around exactly when to eat or what to eat (Mediterranean diet) is so unimportant and detracts from so many other important tenets. Those being proper sleep, stress management, and exercise (cardio && strength).
That being said, if a conversation around fasting is what gets people in the door, perhaps it’s not the worst thing in the world.

I wish municipalities put a larger focus on human powered transportation like walking and cycling. So many high tech logistics solutions I see seem to try and cover for the fact that we’ve built our cities to be innavigable for people.
Re:Is the psychedelic therapy bubble about to burst?

This is true. I should have said that it seems to be a slowly but sustainably growing market. When I think of bubble, I think of a rapid boon followed by a bust. I don’t think this industry will have either.
Re:Is the psychedelic therapy bubble about to burst?
on Saturday September 03, 2022 @07:11AM (#32700689)
Is this not the opposite of a bubble? It seems like public opinion and public policy are actually making significant shifts into making psychedelic treatments more mainstream. From which I expect a large industry to emerge.

First and foremost, take a deep breath. I'm in a very similar position that you are (23 y/o, interest in CS, for-longing the time spent on fruitless efforts) which I hope brings you some relief. What I've learned is that aspiring to focus every moment to a point is a fools errand. Time will escape you in which case, congratulations you've just had fun! I've also learned that dwelling on actions past almost never results in better future action. Ask yourself if what you do now is of benefit to future goals and move from there. There are no refunds.
But that time was spent making you there person you are today. The skills, perspective, and ambitions that grew from what you "wasted so much of my life on" makes you whole. Learn to accept that because there is no goal oriented outcome that will relieve you. Today you lament leisure and not study, tomorrow you reverse.

I love LineageOS and have used microG services for so long but forks like this strike me as sad as needing to assimilate to the look and feel of iOS. It comes off as cheap and unoriginal. Now this is harsh criticism I understand but I do appreciate how much effort it must have taken to make all of these app forks. I only wish the effort was spent building something more interesting.

I don’t have much to add but what I do have is a question. What happens when people are priced out of economic activity. Most recent memory of this much economic turbulence is ‘08 but the conditions between then and now are incomparable.
