Just here for the facts
Currently? Two main sources: my kids and other media
So lots of songs found from soundtracks and background music on other videos. Which leads to artists I may or may not become a fan of.
Kids still go to shows and keep up with new releases, not sure how they find new stuff. They are grown and out of the house.
You’ve mentioned the battery being an issue for resin.
I would like to mention if you decide to get a new phone and use this one as art, you still need to remove the battery

Yeah, because of artist attribution on another post, I was introduced to a new genre I hadn’t actually read before.
I got to try haptic headphones recently. Gimmicky but made me smile when the bass kicked in and I could feel it through the haptic feedback. It seemed louder without making the rest muddy and without making me yell WHAT? after a couple songs.
Not audiophile quality, it was immersive at least. I want to try them with a movie.
The best advice I got related to this is that “it’s not a competition.”
I kept putting off taking care of my health because I wasn’t as burnt out/sick/tired/as much pain as someone else. So if they were still moving forward I should be too, right?
No. I didn’t need to wait until my chest cold was pneumonia because the chemo was worse for my friend. Or my limp wasn’t as bad as their constant pain. Or I wasn’t as bone-tired as them, I’ll just chug some caffeine.
If you are breaking down, you are breaking down.
We don’t expect a wooden bridge to hold under the same daily stresses as the Golden Gate. We fix them both as they meed repair. We don’t wait until the Golden Gate needs repair to fix all the other ones.
I’m not arguing your point. But I am curious what 3rd party future historians will find the actual numbers of rounded up “illegals” put in camps and the actual death tolls to be for 2026.
I keep hearing that we don’t currently know. Maybe we’ll never know, unless someone is keeping a meticulous record in their private diary.
The official target is 3k arrests of illegals per day in a country of over 300 million people.

I watched a guest on The Bulwark say it’s a single cell parasite and almost impossible to wash off anything that’s not smooth. It really hides in the nooks and crannies.
So it’d be impossible to really clean something like a raspberry. You might could carefully remove and dispose of the outer leaves of a head of iceburg lettuce and be safe.
And that if it’s in a water supply that’s coating the crops we are really in for a shitshow.
So this post is how I found out this happened for real.
CNN article makes it sound like someone called 911 for chest pains around 8:30p last night.
The person calling was driving to Graham’s house and thought the door would be unlocked.
It was not. EMTs arrived and did chest compressions

Low information doesn’t mean low value or less value. It just means they are voting without knowing what they are actually for and how it will affect them. For whatever reasons that may be.
Low information voters are incredibly valuable if you can get them to vote “your way”
There very much are many low information voters of all stripes, on both sides or thinking they are centrist.
And they are very, very valuable if you can get them to vote or not vote through throwing out distractions. While their participation or lack of lets your guy win.
I’d be watching TV after dinner with my Dad and he thought it was funny because he could tell when I’d doze off. My foot would stop bouncing. He’d wait until it started up again to talk to me :) I miss him.
I wish recall elections were standard. In NC state house, we had Tricia Cotham run as a Dem, promising to protect women’s right to choose etc. Got elected. switched parties and voted with the Republicans No recall elections or fraud options. Some protests, but she couldn’t be shamed. Then the Republicans gerrymandered the state, she got a new red district and Jeff Jackson lost his district by the new map. At least he won state AG. He’s been doing really good things for the state and country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricia_Cotham
This is for everyone whose factory included nose stopped working after the warranty ran out.
And not all are covid related. I know at least one person who couldn’t smell because of a brain injury, years before covid19 came around.
I’m from infosec.pub and am noticing the same thing today. Very few comments and less upvotes.
I’m using Jerboa app. On this post I just see redacted and barkingspider in this comment thread.

I remember reading about how Bush 2 was kind of paranoid about a pandemic and had plans made while in office. And that during the handover to Obama it was one of the things Bush told Obama to not ignore for the safety of the country. The admin after Obama ignored everything.
[Insert Archer gif of “do you want ants? Because that’s how you get ants.” Bonus if “ants” marked out for “pandemic”]
Anyway, I think about this a lot. Especially with the CDC gutted and measles outbreaks popping up. And now the Andes hantavirus strain.
I just realized “dearth” is one of those words I’ve heard but never seen written down.
Usually it’s the other way around.
Now I’m tripping that it looks perfect and wrong at the same time
Maybe there should be another two questions to every question:
A- How much time did you take to think about the answer this question?
B- Which was the other answer you were considering chosing?
