I listen to a lot of Pat Metheny Group, which my wife refers to as "Weather Channel Music". I used to argue that Pat was waaay better than the stuff on the Weather Channel, until one day we had it on in a hotel room and "Last Train Home" came on, and I had to shut the heck up.

I wonder what else kqr can tell us about the future.

Yes. I clicked because I thought I was going to read about nutcases running PDP-11s under their desks. I was disappointed.

My dad must have had to memorize the order of the boxes when he took a printing class in high school because I can remember he would recite it to me when I was a little kid. Thanks for the memory!

For strength and flexibility without being stuck in a gym, I recommend Mark Wildman https://www.youtube.com/@MarkWildman

The tag line is "This is not a fitness channel. This is a skill channel." Kettlebells. Clubbells. Bodyweight exercises. Building functional strength. There are no overt sales pitches.

Mark's instructional style is no-nonsense. Note his use of visual and verbal cues to get you to remember good form. And then there are the "Nerd Math" videos where he whiteboards workout progressions. Great stuff for HN readers!

Would you accept the answer "no" with no additional context or replies without feeling put off? Chat is asynchronous. Just ask your question. This isn't a phone call or a desk-side visit. The act of initiating a chat already contains the idea that you are asking the other person for an interaction. If they have time to chat, they will chat. If you need a response right away, then chat isn't the place to do it.

I hear ya. By my rough calculation, I lived for about 33 years without social media. It was nice.

I stopped reading the essay at paragraph four when the boilerplate Marxist horse-hockey kicked in. Does that count as being distracted?

I was completely puzzled by this headline for a few seconds. I wondered why CNN would run a technical article about open libraries for GC. And what the heck do "abandoned books" have to do with anything. Context is everything.
