Went to the gym 3 times a week, cycled 25k every weekday, ran on the weekends.

Now I can only walk, after covid, which I got in early March. I'm hoping to try jogging again at some stage, after CT scans on my lungs, but I think it's a bit of a pipe dream. After 5 months the daily nausea has stopped.

No prior conditions. Early 40s.

edit: can't think of another site on the internet you'd get downvoted for the above, HN is really something

The Fed are buying corporate ETF bonds, not stocks.

Based on your post it seems:

1. Living walking distance from work/school

2. Working fewer days

3. Communal eating option (eg local subsidized cafes)

Agreed, not the main use case.

What's the point in producing trash if your only reason is to have enough money to pay for the trash?

Tech is the menial task now. We are wasting time looking at our smart watches!

Have smart watches really improved daily life for the masses? I really don't think they have.

We need real technology that saves labour, like washing machines, dishwashers, sewage processing, electricity grids.

I think satellites can provide services that join that club, by allowing decentralization through ubiquitous access to medium speed internet.

Smart watches tend to provide information that really doesn't matter, like number of steps in a day. Yes there is the example of the heartbeat, but for most that is just informational also, plus other dedicated devices already existed.

I think too much of new tech are just toys, hopefully this is just an interim stage and we are about to get to the real stuff again.

Did the first company complain about you to Amazon, who then blacklist you for not playing ball?

I went to purchase a replacement iphone audio jack adapter today and I felt totally unable to determine the best option. One vendor's adapter appeared about 6times in the first page of results and one of their reviews warned of fake reviews.

No cheaper than elsewhere, Amazon is chaos now.

You get emails. Imho it's not a big risk.

If you retrieve the data slowly it's cheap. It's expensive if say you are a retailer who needs their database restored asap.

I use a Linux perl client!

"in just a few generations". One generation with an inheritance tax.

With a land tax many wouldn't get rich in the first place, let's address the root cause.

I've used glacier. For stuff you don't need to restore in a rush, it's cheap.

I did however have a recent health scare and it made me wonder how my non tech wife could possibly have restored the files as the interfaces are all heavy.

Not a factor I'd previously considered when assessing my backup/restore.
