OI, IT’S TOO HIGH UP TO REACH gestures to mesa

That game is so good I’d play it more if it wasn’t hampers by extremely annoying controls. Especially the last phase, so frustrating!

It’s like three different games in one!

I wanted to say the same thing, use it or lose it.

Pain sometimes comes from injury or other mechanism, but loads of people with back pain just need to exercise more.

A strong back will do wonders.

Likewise a strong wrist will resist keyboard pain. It won’t tolerate bad typing posture or a crappy keyboard, but it will resist pain with a good ergo keyboard and good posture

THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS

This looks uncannily like my shelf, I’m trying to buy land now for my permaculture forest 😭

Looks like, nasty weather…

🎶Chinatown my chinatown🎶

I love this game, it’s got so much flavor and drama. Yeah some of the missions are practically impossible, but there’s something about cruising along on a hilly road, watching the city lights

Definitely include a graph of shareholder value overlayed on top.

Sarcasm aside, maybe we should have a graph that also shows:

• average hours worked a year
• average number of sunsets a person sees before they die
• average hours spent with loved ones per year
• average rent
• average hours worked to pay for groceries
• average hours spent doomscrolling on social media
• average student loan debt payments
• suicide rate
• average zoom calls a year
• happiness

And see that by basically all metrics we are working more, paid less, more depressed, more stressed, and unhappy.

Oh yeah, the carcinogens from a fire definitely are cancerous, and we’re always taught to put our dirty gear in trash compactor bags and wash it in a special machine back at the station.

I meant all the coatings on the outer shell or inside the lining by our necks and wrists. That would get into the body through the thin skin there even when just walking around

My instructors always tell stories about folks who wore synthetic clothes under their gear, then it melted to their skin when they are inside a building. Big yikes

Ugh I’m dreading the day we discover turnout gear gives the wearer cancer or some shit. It’s coated in all kinds of crazy crap.

I learned how to type with this, at the age of 22 as a full time software engineer! I never knew how to touch type, but then I somehow landed a software engineering job. I figured I needed to learn, so I downloaded this and played it so much. Good times.

Ah yes, that would make sense.

I’m over here thinking like a firefighter trying to ventilate a roof, not like a contractor trying to install a window.

Chainsaw and a skylight. A big one too, like one of these

And yeah, yeah, I’ve heard they are a pain to maintain and break easily. I don’t care, I’ll fix it every week if that means I get a balcony and fresh air every day.

CrossFit, running club, November project, hiking club, board game clubs, DND clubs, Meetup.com events. Coed sports leagues like: disc golf, infinite Frisbee, soccer.

There’s also things like live figure drawing, music jam clubs, acting in local plays.

That sucks, you’re doing the right thing. Did you consider getting the tapes of who did it from the store cameras? Although it’s probably too late now. They should be punished for their toxic behavior.

There definitely are people who’s empathy hasn’t improved. Maybe two-thirds of the population’s empathy has improved, but the remainder became even more sociopathic. They get mad when people wear masks, when billionaires get taxed, or when medical services are given to homeless people. There is a group that just lives on fear and rage. They somehow think that keying someone’s car who wears a mask is justified because…? Maybe just that they saw people wearing masks during the pandemic and concluded masks cause pandemics.

Seems like it increases cancer risk, but it’s the cheapest way we have to sanitize water so

https://www.cancercenter.com/community/blog/2020/05/drinking-water-cancer-risk

I’m putting the water in glass containers, so no need to worry about it leeching materials. Also, I am positive I get all the micronutrients (the paper your cited refers to magnesium and iron) I need from vegetables, without needing to resort to tap water that contains high levels of microplastics. I also brush my teeth with floride, so no need to worry about dental caries.

Bidet attachment for a toilet. You can get them cheap, or spend a bit more for heated seats, warmed water, fans for drying, etc. Best bathroom decision ever.

Countertop electric water distiller. For a reasonable price you can get a countertop water distiller that runs a gallon for like $0.15. No more microplastics, chlorine, ammonia, lead, or facial matter in your drinking water! Tastes SO GOOD, nothing like the plastic filled distilled water from the store, blech. Every time we make a batch, we’ll smell the sticky residue left in the heating chamber and gag. It is nasty stuff. In our tap water, gross. Clean water for me please! Makes our coffee, tea, and kumbucha taste a lot better too.

Getting into a healthy BMI and daily exercise is pretty epic too. You’ll just feel better every day.

As climate change gets worse, having resilience like stored food and water will be helpful to deal with more frequent natural disasters. No sense bothering with fancy meal packets, a couple dozen big cans of dried beans will go a long way if there’s a shelter in place order.
