  That's undoubtedly why you are still healthy.

Interesting! From the Wikipedia article above: > Giertz is a descendant of Lars Magnus Ericsson, founder of Ericsson.

Hopefully firmly in the had serious health challenges category. If you don’t know her videos, I think Simone produces some of the greatest content on youtube. Deeply authentic, highly skilled, with a really funny subtext of knowing absurdist humor to them. Really great content.

  Yeah, definitely this. My favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKv_N0IDS2A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKv_N0IDS2A Just the first 50 seconds are pure gold.

    Truckla is great, truckla is love but truckla is also useful. Bubble wrap player machine is deeply pointless and amazing https://youtu.be/nLGs7auWdgE https://youtu.be/nLGs7auWdgE https://youtu.be/M1B3gATS0GE https://youtu.be/M1B3gATS0GE the proud parent machine was profoundly disturbing.

      > proud parent machine was profoundly disturbing I dunno, I thought it was brilliant. Not the device itself, but the dramatic narrative that she wove around it. The machine itself was almost just a MacGuffin. Almost :-)

  Yes. Absolutely. One of my favorites is this video that shows a robot she built to argue with people on <strike>the Internet</strike> Hacker News. (7 seconds) https://youtu.be/PJiRijiLwbQ https://youtu.be/PJiRijiLwbQ

Cara Santa Maria also had a cancer run in last year[0]. It seems is was caught about as early as possible and she'll be fine, but still a bit bizarre. I've also personally known 3 women who got kidney cancer in the last 2 years. One was in her late 30's and died within weeks of diagnosis. One had a kidney removed and so far is doing fine, and the last will die of it within months. https://twitter.com/CaraSantaMaria/status/1544497765496995841?lang=en https://twitter.com/CaraSantaMaria/status/154449776549699584...
