originates from an Okinawan island with the longes average lifspan in the world.

Are we sure that the lifespan thing isn’t just benefits fraud

Same. I’ve been using KISS for years. It would feel weird to use anything else at this point.

Nah, there was actual effort put into TempleOS.

Fitness Adventure Pro for the Switch. Is it an amazing game? No. But it is a fitness game, which means I can get a workout without any equipment to set up and break down, and without having to leave my house. I’ve only been using it a few weeks and I can already feel a difference.

The “tastes worse from a press” is entirely dependent on the material of the press you’re using. Garlic reacts with stainless steel, hence those stainless steel “soap bars” they make to remove garlic smell from your hands. I got a zinc press for this exact reason.

I was 21 in 2008. The cat in my profile pic, Oscar, was born in April that year, and I adopted her in June. She died of complications from kidney disease last July, at the age of 17. Time moves too fast.

Having suffered with untreated sleep apnea for several years (I have a CPAP now, thank God), I can tell you that you’re not gonna be able to do this for four week, let alone four years. Sleep deprivation won’t kill you instantly but it will make you feel like you’re dying, and also make you want to be dead. Whatever the solution to your problems is, this ain’t it.

Echoing a statement from the American College of Radiology after the study’s release, she stressed that the study’s projection of cancer diagnoses from CT scans was based on statistical modeling, not actual patient outcomes.

There are no published studies directly linking CT scans to cancer, the statement says. [emphasis mine]

Without hard data to back it up, this study is fairly meaningless.

Yup.

I really liked Garuda but I had to switch because my NVIDIA drivers kept breaking :(

Hopefully the release of the last(?) book in the Locked Tomb series, or at least the release date for it

Cognitive behavioral therapy/dialectical behavioral therapy are not the universal cure for everything and they need to stop being treated as such

Where Is Bed

Just to head this off at the pass, because someone is bound to bring up exposure therapy: hi, hello, I am someone who has been through exposure therapy (technically Exposure/Response Prevention, or ERP). Yes, it is broadly speaking true that avoiding triggers increases anxiety in the long run. However, one thing that was stressed to me over and over in ERP is that exposures have to be VOLUNTARY to be beneficial. Meaning, just hucking a tarantula at someone with arachnophobia is going to do far more harm than good. Likewise showing them a bunch of pictures of spiders with no warning. However, putting a content warning puts the decision to engage back into the hands of the person with the phobia (or trauma, eating disorder, etc), which effectively turns it into a voluntary exposure should they choose to engage.

Content/trigger warnings are not about “being shielded from hardship;” they’re about not springing trauma triggers or upsetting shit on unsuspecting people (or not causing actual physical harm to people, in the case of epilepsy warnings).

Like, OK, cool, you read Mein Kampf. I don’t think that’s a bad thing to do, for the reasons you did it. But you did that freely and knowing what you were getting into (“by Adolf Hitler” serves as an implicit content warning IMO). Suppose you were a Jewish student and your history teacher sprung a reading from Mein Kampf in the middle of a lesson with no warning. Or hell, just imagine having “Old Yeller” sprung on you the day after your dog died. I don’t think it’s babying anyone to warn them about something that could ruin their day.

Gormenghast. I got about 100 pages in, bored off my ass, saw that I still had like 1000 more pages to go, and was just like “…nah, I’m good.”

Cooking With Jack just hasn’t been the same since he had his third stroke

I was hoping it was someone doing a bit and the link would be a Rickroll, but alas…

Yeah, KPat just does this. Skip em or persist in your doomed timeline, I guess.
