I don’t care if anyone votes or not, it won’t change anything, but a protest vote is better than no vote, in my opinion. Voting for a leftist is a chance to voice your dissent and not remain silent. If Harris loses Michigan because several thousand vote for third party leftists, then our message has been sent.

It could be from iron supplementation, if you recently took nutritional iron. Mostly these things are idiopathic. If you have a secondary symptom or it lasts, go to urgent care asap.

Reminder that China only pursued nukes after the US threatened to nuke Fujian province during the second Taiwan straight crises. So I guess the chickens came home to roost once again. Also, down with war mongers. China was first to make the no first use pledge 60 years ago, why won’t the US to this day?

This wasn’t an idle threat either by the US, they had Nike Hercules missiles, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, on the island of Taiwan.

Oh yeah! Take-out pizza was a weekly regular thing for me too! 30 bucks for the pizza meant it was costing 15 bucks for a single meal, half a large pizza, not only was it thousands of calories, but I got to thinking what else I could buy and cook for $15 bucks, and it always ate me up inside, that’s enough for a luxury meal if buying the ingredients and cooking it myself, something like a 6-8 oz steak or salmon and 4 oz shrimp dinner with 2 healthy sides like asparagus and basmati rice. Not to mention how much less something like tofu, beans, lentils, or even chicken or pork would cost!

Meanwhile, further east. Only 2,500?

I was eating there in a bad way, like 4-5 times a week for breakfast, and then one day, two egg mcmuffins were like 11 bucks, and I said fuck that. I switched to about 400 calories total greek yogurt, about 20 oz. Cheaper and healthier.

I haven’t been back since, and combined with other healthier choices, I’m down from 208 to 193 lbs over the last 3 months, with a goal to eventually reach 180 and maintain it.

For example, instead of getting 2 triple cheeseburgers, I made a 6 oz grilled chicken breast sandwich with pickles and light mayo, came out with more protein, less fat, and less overall calories.

Thanks McDonalds!

I think that the way we’re splitting up software monopolies is pretty damn ridiculous in this field. I’m Linux gang all the way, but let Microsoft own the OS how they see fit, and especially the kernel, and instead go after the third party hardware vendors being locked into MS contracts. Just make it not legal for third party hardware vendors to sell computers with pre-installed operating systems, and it solves a lot of the monopoly issues. So no more Dell, HP, etc, with forced windows, make the consumer buy the OS separately.

Could also go after bundling, like OS can’t be sold with office suite software.

This is the !biggest comp sci innovation in !decades

In Firefox, on Linux, behind a VPN and firewall with ad blocker, I run 5 different privacy/ad blocking extensions. I keep hearing about adds, but not seeing them.

Supposedly Youtube now is getting more agressive on this? I wouldn’t know. Haven’t seen a Youtube notice about it yet.

But really, I dream of the day youtube is replaced by something else. Fracture Youtube into 1,000 pieces and scatter it into the wind.
