Put one foot in front of the other And soon you’ll be walking cross the floor Put one foot in front of the other And soon you’ll be walking out the door
Sorry. That’s the best advice I can give

This is correct, but they do make portable units with two hoses. Those will be as efficient as a window unit. Costco sells dual hose models for a few hundred dollars. I have one and it works well for heating and cooling.
I take a 30 to 40 minute walk (2 miles) every day at work. Sometimes it’s to clear my head. Sometimes it’s to think about work. Sometimes it’s to think about not work. No one cares, and if they did, I’d argue it’s time well spent for the company. I can’t get anything done if my brain is overflowing with crap.
Man, a work LAN party would be pretty cool.

I’m rather partial to Ma~
Porsche measures their automatic gear changes in milliseconds. Smart measures them in geologic time scales.
I truly don’t understand why they didn’t put a CVT in those 2nd generation cars (the ones sold in North America). It’s the perfect application! Small car, not a lot of power, efficiency minded.
My wife’s old 2004 Honda Civic. It was the worst piece of shit I’ve ever had the displeasure of driving. And it was super unreliable to boot!
It was dangerously slow. Getting on the freeway always required full throttle to get up to speed in time, which was never enough. Some cars egg you on, “Go faster! Let me rev! I love revs! Speeeeeed! Power!” This thing was like Eeyore on Adavan, “Huh? Power? If I have to. Ththrhtbbt. That’s the best I can do.”
The “top rated” Goodyear tires we put on it were fucking awful as well. The tire compound was super hard, so despite the pitiful power, you could always spin the front tires in the dry. Despite the hard tire compound, they wore out 20,000 miles before their warranty was up. One time while exiting the freeway, the shit box decided it wanted to oversteer (the tail slid out) as I went around a corner at a very reasonable speed. Luckily, I was able to hold the slide and correct it (which was pretty cool). I like to push cars and to go fast, but I’ve never ever had a front wheel drive car oversteer on me before, especially at super low speeds. This isn’t really the car’s fault, but the shit tires come with the shit territory.
It had no safety features other than seatbelts and a couple airbags. No anti-lock brakes. No traction control. It had manual windows (fine, I guess), manual mirrors (eww), and manual door locks (gag me with a spoon!).
Despite all these omissions, it had alloy wheels and a spoiler from the factory! Oh, but it’s ok, it’s the fucking “value package” so all my friends won’t know I cheaped out on a car until they have to wait for me to get in the car to unlock their doors!
In the 4 years she had it, the following broke:
What an awful car. Still, at least the previous owner left a new condom in the glove box when she bought it.
I hate all peanut products. I’m not allergic, either. Whenever my wife has peanut butter, I stay in another room and open the window. For some reason it’s absolutely revolting.
That drives me up the wall. Last summer, I went on a vacation to a rental home that had this issue. After a couple of days of rubbing my hands on the back of the sink just to get them wet, I went to the store and bought a cheap funnel. I used my Swiss Army knife to cut off the base of the funnel, and I shoved it onto the sink. Problem solved!
If the water pressure was higher (or if the aerator was less restricted) it probably wouldn’t have been an issue, given the angle of the faucet. It’s still ridiculous that shit like this happens.
The alarm(s!) were going off for 14 hours! They were reset at least 4 times. How did no one think, “Oh, there might be a CO leak! I better investigate”?
The only correct thing to do when you hear a CO alarm is to evacuate and get someone with the tools to deal with the problem to help (usually the fire department).
Poor guy. I hope the other victims recover.
RedReader is a 3rd party Reddit app that has an exemption from the API bullshit because it has accessibility features that Reddit can’t be bothered to implement themselves.
When cleaning your glasses, wipe from the temples towards the nose. That way you’re not spreading any nose grease you missed across your lenses.
On Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, West said it’s “a criminal invasion, provoked by the expansion of NATO”
Fuck off, it’s provoked entirely by Putin being a shithead. The invasion proves the worth of NATO. Coincidentally , NATO is something West wants to get rid of.
His other positions are fine, but I’d prefer a president who’s not gargling Putin’s balls.
For real. When he releases the 5 hour Drydock episode every month, I usually spend the next week watching it at 2 times speed while I make dinner. Crazy amount of content.
Lemmino creates amazing documentaries about a wide variety of topics (DB Cooper, JFK Assassination, Jack the Ripper). He uploads very infrequently, but it’s totally worth it when he does.
Barely Sociable is similar in style and uploads high quality pieces about various mysterious occurrences.
Drachinifel uploads frequent, well researched content about naval history from the age of sail to the 1950s.
Our Own Devices is a very small channel that feels similar to Technology Connections (another excellent channel). He uploads content about the history and inner workings of old devices of all sorts.
Throttle House is the best car channel on YouTube.
Jason Cammisa’s Revelations series on the Hagerty channel has really good deep dives into the histories of some important cars.
Aging Wheels/Under Dunn are excellent car and/or wood project channels. Chickens make frequent appearances too.
Mentour Pilot has excellent analysis of airline crashes.
Jay Foreman uploads funny and informative content about maps (Map Men) and tidbits about the history of London.
Cathode Ray Dude uploads deep dives into weird computers, computer peripherals, and old cameras. I’ve watched his half hour video about modems at least 5 times.
Mustard uploads excellent content about crazy ideas in transportation (like the Soviet love affair with the ekranoplan).
Oh my God Vyvanse is amazing. I was on Adderall XR for years, but I got sick of getting a huge burst of energy for 5 hours, feeling ok for 3, and then crashing hard after that. It was really hard dealing with that while work a 4/10 schedule.
Vyvanse is so smooth, I get a gentle push through most of the day, and a subtle let down after 10 hours or so.
Now if I could just be more diligent with my sleep…
I recently started using Logseq. It’s open source and pretty intuitive to use. The game changing feature for me is the ability to link notes together with tags. With a little organization, it makes it pretty easy to find stuff without resorting to a searchI also really like the daily journal feature which is useful for keeping events straight.
Woah! I didn’t know they made heat pump ice cream makers (for non commercial users) at a decent price.
Assuming Folding@Home has some sort of API or if it can be started and stopped from the command line, it should be fairly straightforward with an Arduino a simple script.
Get a dish towel wet and use that to swat at the fly. The weight of the water and the extra length of the towel let’s you get it going faster than the fly can react.
