In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen As a restaurant owner – I’m astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today’s microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow’s m…

I laughed so hard I thought I was going to cough up an organ. Every line is gold.

Today is great day to read Brazilsky!!!!

I didn’t even block tapper, who is bad and wrong but not like that.

If you live in Seattle, today is a great day to remind your friends that our mayor sucks shit and they should vote for Katie Wilson tomorrow

I don’t tend to block journalists, but I decided the guy who said he was going to “interview” an AI simulacrum of a murdered child was not someone I cared to hear from ever again.

I’m not an expert on what journalism is, but it’s not that.

14/10 my body did its Hail Mary pass and I caught it but this is exactly perfect

Let us liberate the corner stores from the corners!!!!!

The Money Is In All The Wrong Places | Defector You can always tell who in Hollywood has family money by their Instagrams. People like Dakota Johnson, who have a Hollywood lineage deeper than the Mariana Trench, post only rarely. They post about so...

BTW, if you want to read an actually good story about Sydney Sweeney I really liked this from 3 years ago defector.com/the-money-is...

Next business day 🫠

Why did you break the sunny spot :(. Do better.

Oi @alexcp.bsky.social e @fsmontenegro.bsky.social, vocês ainda querem falar comigo em português devagar?

I understood them, too, though if they said anything complicated I didn't get it or it would take a while for my brain to catch up. Even so, I could pick out many of the words.

Not bad for less than a year of casual, non-structured study!

Also I have the stuff for pão de queijo.

I have gone to a Brazilian restaurant and a Brazilian market, and in both places the staff were able to understand my Portuguese without any trouble, so I think the Pimsleur is working.

I can't express complex concepts, but I can ask novel questions (do you have a small bottle of palm oil?).

Somehow that is even funnier to think of regarding making pokeballs!

Honestly I figured the structured program with additional support meant they did more and that was what created the benefit.

I’m not a doctor, but my understanding is that once you start paying attention and doing the thing, stuff gets better, and it matters much less what the thing even is.

That’s kind of all of them. We like to say the data speaks for itself, but it really doesn’t.

That said, I treat building cognitive reserve like a bodybuilder treats lifting. Which means I lift, along with all the other stuff!

(I fully concede a lot of confirmation bias here, lol. I’m at high risk and I’ve made a lot of the changes and I feel like it’s way harder than it should be.)

Behavioral change in the face of all these modern trends of overwork, car-centric environments, messed up food systems, social atomization, etc is really hard.

I read it, and i think what it says about the benefits is less important than what it says about how modern lifestyles are set up to make it hard to do the things we know are healthy so people need to be supported instead of told to try harder.

Most people know the broad outlines. We just don’t.

I have been laughing about my pokébank for two years and now I FINALLY get to make more!!!!!

We’ll see if I manage to trim the pokéball. After that it should be smooth sailing, because I still have the pokéball red glaze.

I successfully made a mostly-spherical clay enclosed form. This is the end of my 2nd month returning to pottery; it took me about 9 months to get to this point when I was first learning.

The purpose is to make pokéballs.

I cut a coin slot for a pokébank but to get the money out you gotta throw it.

Yay tiny kitten!

The Anti-Abundance Critique on Housing Is Dead Wrong Antitrust critics say that homebuilding monopolies are the real culprit of America’s housing woes. I looked into some of their claims. They don’t hold up.

Antitrust critics of Abundance claim homebuilding oligopolies are holding back supply and driving up prices, esp in Texas.

I did something really simple. I called up their sources.

Everyone I spoke to told me the same thing: Their claims are bullshit.

OH COME ON that's unfair!!!!

The masses demand seaweed snacks!!

I’ll believe it when robots can sew clothes. WHICH THEY CANNOT.

Fabric is a lot more predictable than people which is to say not much.

Look at what the professor’s been doing with all the pokemon we transfer to him!

Ok so I tried to look up what the challenge merch (which you're allowed to buy if you complete it) looks like, and LMAOOOOO Google AI told me I could get it from Concept2 or RedBubble.

I'm fairly sure the RedBubble merch is fake and Google told me to cheat. :)

Still thinking of this.

On one hand, my weekly average is 20km, and my highest week was 34km, so it's entirely doable. The question is whether I want to try to do it on their schedule. I dislike backloading.

On the other hand, I don't need to decide until mid-August, because 20k is a normal week.
