How does it fair on the “survivability during a zombie apocalypse” scale?

Cult of Personality also qualifies, I think.

Team Armadillo checking in.

Most of my coworkers are in Eastern Europe, so the healthcare conversation with HR got really weird. They didn’t really grasp how bad things are here. Their policy was “hey, we give you $90 a month for expenses!”
Me: Ummm…

The MC’s gender is never explicitly stated. I didn’t initially notice and thought they were female.

Crypto bros, too.

If you want actual history, The Great Courses on Audible is an amazing series.

Hand him a bottle of amitallado and brick up his room with tshit boxes!

The Charismatic Voice has one of the best ones. She truly went in cold, so everything was legit and not overacted.

Take the millionaires tax above. An extra $500 or $1000 or whatever doesn’t make a dent to someone who made 100x that.
Now imagine all the whining and gnashing of teeth over that bill when it came out. If you lived like you make $200k, it won’t matter. Zero stress.

Not quite. It is a thing where once you’ve past a certain mark, you’re good. Stressing about making more, or pushing to look like you’re in a way higher income bracket doesn’t improve your happiness, generally the opposite.

The Dread Pirate Westley just turned 6

I had the center row of a 747 to myself from Sydney to LA. I grabbed as many pillows + blankets as I could and made a comfortable bed out of it. Best sleep on a plane ever.

HOLY SHIT MAN WALKS ON FUCKING MOON

56 Years Ago Today:

The bike path mayor thing has expanded considerably.

Then there are the ones you’re pretty sure are AI bots all the way down.

Except for really simple, repetitive things, it’s just soooo bad.

Press 1 for Squid Facts
Press 2 for Eel Facts

Action Park energy.

I loved the ending of that, little chapters to say goodbye to everyone.

Except in extremes, normal people don’t have these sorts of problems or concerns because they have enough calorie reserves to handle it, and their bodies automatically moderate it. Diabetics have to do it all manually, which significantly raises the difficulty.

Type-1 diabetic here: it’s funky. Weightlifting generally causes spikes due to glucose getting rapidly depleated in short bursts. Cardio makes you go lower the longer you go (marathoners fuel or hit the wall, etc.). Both reduce the amount of insulin you need over time.

Keep trying, but it is an endless war with the groundhog. Seriously, fuck that chonky woodchipper.

Find a studio near you and take a class! It is a lot of fun. Bring water with you because it gets hot.

You’re right! I wasn’t counting the traditional post long-run chicken+waffles brunch!

It’s about on par with running. Running might have the edge with new shoes.

I’m type-1 diabetic, I roamed the neighborhood, woods, biked to the local pizza place, etc. Gone for hours, and my parents weren’t hugely worried about it.

Me, an HPC storage engineer: niiiice.

They’re just the guardians of the other Consu that you don’t see, who look and act just like Golden Retrievers.

I have nights like that when my insulin pump doesn’t handle things well. Wake up enough to turn an alarm off, or actually get out of bed to diagnose the problem?
Glad it doesn’t happen often.
