truly a great American tale

yes

There’s extreme moral hazard in allowing institutions to lend money on this scale while protecting them from the risk of a borrower’s default as well.

check out the korg volca line. The volca fm 2 is about to be my first hardware synth. It’s $170 new, so you can probably find something close to your budget used.

I’m not sure this is what you’re looking for, but I love NTS Radio.

It’s basically 2 radio stations that both stream 24 hours a day. Different people host 1-2 hour shows once a week or month.

You can browse archives by host, mood, and genre tags. The app includes each show’s playlists, and you can search spotify for songs (at least in ios) played on each episode. It’s become one of my favorite music discovery tools. And it’s free.

Our cat does too.

We have a bathroom just off our living room that has a very large mirror above the vanity. The cat likes to get drinks out of the bathroom sink (we’re trained).

If she sits on a corner of the vanity when the bathroom door is open, she can see the living room in the mirror. She will stare into the mirror until she sees someone look at her. When she catches your eye, the meowing to turn on the sink begins.

She also stares at herself in a hallway mirror a lot. We think she thinks she’s pretty.

lol. When I say that I might be following boring people, that implies that I am boring, I suppose.

I dunno, some people I’m friends with do post regularly, but a lot of them have become mostly lurkers over time.

This is just to say that I don’t think IG is different than Twitter in that way, a smaller percentage of people post the majority of content now.

Not an attempt to refute your points, but just some input. IG is the only social media platform I’m still on, and I don’t think anyone except meme accounts, influencers, brands are posting anymore.

1. My wife and I have been joking for a couple of years about the large number of old acquaintances & family members that follow us that haven’t posted in years. They still watch every story we post though!

2. IG just re-introduced the ability to sort your feed chronologically. When I first looked at my chronological feed, it was immediately clear that they took it away because there wasn’t enough new content anymore. I follow between 250-300 accounts and there is consistently less than 20 accounts posting a day (and those are mostly meme or ‘influencer’ accounts).

It is possible that I’m just following boring people though.

big fan!

tell me more.

The tiny chef’s hat icon signaling the end of the essay really makes it great.

I’m going to borrow that way of thinking about it. Removing obstacles, letting go, etc.

I like this a lot. I’ve struggled with… let’s call it unhappiness a lot in my life. I spent years trying to work through deep emotional things intellectually, but the things that really got me on the right track were:

1. Sleeping 8 hours a day 2. Eating less processed foods & more fruits and vegetables 3. Walking

Simple things, and they all took time to turn into habits, but better health/more energy eventually made everything else so much easier.

Search mini rice cooker, they for sure exist.

Instant Pots make perfect rice too. I’ve even made < 1 cup at a time successfully.

I used to work for the company that did tech support for McDonald’s. They were still using USR modems to transmit data from restaurants to corp way into the 2010s, like 2015 or 2016!? They sucked to troubleshoot because nobody knew what a modem was anymore, but on the other hand, they were kinda indestructible.

Very interested in the tennis players’ perspective, I wouldn’t have thought about it as “increasing focus,” but it makes sense.

I’m a baseball fan, and this has been a topic for a long time. I’ve always wondered if it will help hitters way more than people realize, since there will be way more consistency in called strikes. Over time, I think hitters will be able to adjust to that and hit better. Call it better focus.

No, but I am insanely brilliant. Ha!

I’m a manager at a smallish community bank. I ended up here because I was looking for a place to keep up with the world that wasn’t the google news main page, twitter, or facebook.

I got hooked on the condescending, presumptuous, all knowing commentary. I’m kidding!

I really got hooked on the many, many gems I’ve found (links & comments) about many of the various things I’m interested in: music, nutrition, leadership, psychology, even religion, etc, etc, etc. I’ve learned a lot here.

I’ve been lurking for a couple of years, but finally made an account the other day. This is my first comment!
