Haven't seen folks complaining about transaction fees on nostr. I WONDER WHY

Can anyone name a better all-around exercise than burpees? * Great cardio * No equipment needed * Each rep burns ~half a calorie * Works a plethora of muscle groups

Why can folks manage to make a decent nonalcoholic gin but all nonalcoholic whiskey tastes like ass? Maybe the aging process?

What really grinds my gears at the grocery store are all the items marketed as healthy food. Granola bars? Mostly sugar. Fruit juices? Mostly sugar. "Low fat" versions of products? Stuffed with sugar. And of course, pretty much all of the processed stuff has high fructose corn syrup or seed oils added.

"The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject." ― Marcus Aurelius

When you feel like everyone hates you, sleep. When you feel like you hate everyone, explore nature. When you feel like you hate yourself, exercise.

Current status: walked away from my laptop until I hear the CPU fan stop running.

Struggling to find solo cardio that is entertaining. I prefer racquet sports, but they require scheduling with a partner. I wish VR was an option, but my sweat tends to fog up the lens. Wat do?

"So you think that money is the root of all evil? Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is your means of survival. The verdict which you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men's vices or men's stupidity? By catering to fools, in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers you scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment's or a penny's worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame." - Francisco d'Anconia, Atlas Shrugged

A Critique of Twitter's Changes

Twitter has made many changes over the past 6 months, but does the good outweigh the bad? Will Elon be able to turn the ship around?

When your homestead is not for sale at any price.

Amazon Prime shipping is starting to seem scammy. I keep placing orders and Amazon claims that without Prime they'll take a week to arrive. And yet, my low time preference persists. I continue declining a Prime subscription, and my orders keep arriving in 2 to 3 days...

Four Seasons has the audacity to charge $50 for this.

Why is Tucker Carlson leaving Fox? After all, they make each other a lot of money. Could it be that Tucker wants to strike out on his own? Maybe, but he would be leaving a large chunk of his audience behind, maybe even most of it. Could it be that Fox asked him to leave? It seems strange that they would. After all, Tucker is their highest-rated host, again making Fox a lot of money. So, if they did fire him, it would have to be for something serious. Very serious. Like, 'eating babies' serious. Not that I'm saying Tucker is *known* for eating babies... no one has accused him of that, as far as I know. But he makes Fox a lot of money, enough that those suitably focused on the bottom line might overlook the occasional baby... as long as it wasn't an *important* baby. Maybe poor babies would be okay, but definitely not ones with rich parents. Of course, nobody is saying Tucker Carlson is a baby-eating cannibal. In fact, we don't even know that he was fired. Not for certain, in any case. But it does make you wonder... how many babies would Tucker Carlson have to eat before Fox News fired him? Neither Fox nor Tucker have said, so we may never know...
