   I loved playing this game with friends. We never used this website though. Instead, one of us would press random to get the "target" article, and then all of us would press random on our own for a starting point. Whoever got to th

   The way I got into chess was by doing a couple of lessons using the Chess.com app. Once I learned the basic opening principles, a basic opening for white (Italian) and black (Two Knights), and the phases of the game - the game opened up muc

   I've read "Story of Your Life" for a class in college! I really wish I kept the book that had that story, there were many other interesting ones in there.

   "Southern Reach Trilogy" by Jeff VanderMeer [0]. I absolutely loved every book. "Annihilation" is probably my favorite. What hooked me about the series were two things: 1) It was very, /very/ weird and 2) it of

   Thanks! I totally agree. The examples I always think of are Kurt Vonnegut and Raymond Carver. Vonnegut's experience in WWII heavily impacted his writing and views, and led him to create one of his best works. Additionally, when I talke

   I think the human creative process is more interesting than AI. I love learning about the person behind the creation, and hearing how their upbringing and experiences shaped what they created.

   Big fan of neocities, my personal website is on there! The neocities gem makes it very easy to update the site. It's just two commands for me: - jekyll build to build _site - neocities push _site to recursively upload modified files in

   I've also seen older people use 5/3/1 when they are unable to recover as quickly from linear progression routines.

   I'm a big fan of Greyskull Linear Progression! I've always liked 3 sets of 5 more than 5x5.

    I like the mention of a workout routine. Trainers/physical therapists can help to figure out issues with your body and give you a list of stretches/exercises to help with it. I've spent my fair share of getting injured throug

    I think this absolutely makes sense. I'd use LLMs to help unblock me in the same way I use Google, since lately I've been finding it more difficult to find easy answers to "how do I do X with Y library" with Google. I&#x

    A great example of this is the size of parking lots for sports stadiums. There's also several stories (I believe SimCity might be one?) of video game developers attempting to make representations of places in their game - and then remo

    My city is less than half of that size. It's impossible to find a parking spot and parking is only free on Sundays. To make more parking, they'd have to tear down buildings or take away roads. Combined with a poor bus system, it e

    When I first started with Emacs I went with a ton of packages. Each time I started my config over, I'd learn more about defaults I like and my config become thinner. I'm a fan of using packages that hook into Emacs defaults. Like

    I 100% agree! I made a post earlier in the thread about this. Cleaning the fans on my T530 was so tough! You basically have to take apart the entire computer from the keyboard down to the fan. The MBP Unibody 2012, which came out around the

    My daily driver was a used T530 from 2012 - it was the version that had the best GPU. It was a hefty machine. I used to always tell friends - if I ever dropped it on the floor, I'm checking the floor first for damage. I used to push th

    I understand that. The fear I'm describing isn't no jobs, but less jobs than there are people. There's multiple ways to address this, but it's difficult for me to imagine a future with our current economic system (in the

    I do think it is much different from the past twenty years. Twenty years ago we didn't have ChatGPT. There are things we could compare it to, but there also isn't anything like it. My biggest fear is just a lack of jobs. When peop

    I'm such a huge fan of Nebula. All my favorite creators are on there. You do have less content to watch, but I find most of it to be at a pretty good quality. The creator that convinced me to come over was Jacob Geller. His video essay

    I echo the comments on Emacs. Jetbrains tooling is just so /nice/. You can get your Emacs to act like Jetbrains in a number of ways, but that can sometimes end up being quite complicated. I very much like the experience of opening

    My grandparent-in-laws use AOL, and they unfortunately fell for a scam. AOL is what they've always used for everything. When there was an upgrade for something AOL related it all stopped working, so they reached out to a support line.

    I'm personally a fan of the Greyskull Linear Progression or GSLP. I'm pretty much a fan of any LP since if you stick with it you get a ton of strength gains. It's essentially: Day A: - Squat 2x5, 1x5 AMRAP - OHP / Bench

    I love working remotely! I also feel like finding a place to work remotely requires luck, patience, and due diligence. The first hurdle is figuring out if you like remote work or not. Covid was a great way for me to try out remote work and

    Kareem's hook shot was absolutely insane. Highly recommend this video on the 1971 Bucks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtocsxx_i0A . His hook shot was so perfect and so unstoppable, that it almost "killed" b
