He was also a lifelong socialist so if you happen to be the unlikely combination of an capitalist-bootlicker chud that for some reason also holds Sir Patrick Stewart in high regard (not a lot of overlap here, I know) you could do yourself a favor and read some Karl Marx/Friedrich Engels/Vladimir Lenin/Rosa Luxembourg/Upton Sinclair/John Steinbeck/Frantz Fanon/George Orwell/Noam Chomsky/Pyotr Kropotkin/Mao Zedong/Leon Trotsky/Oscar Wilde/Che Guevara/Thomas More/George Bernard Shaw/Ernest Hemingway/Emma Goldman/Bertrand Russel/Fidel Castro but we all know you're illiterate so that's not going to happen.

This is why I suspect that GLP-1 agonist medications have the potential to cause a cascade of negative consequences for the health of some people. One of the mechanisms is slowed gastric emptying which leads to decreased motility of the small intestine as a side effect. They do tell people to drink more water to counteract this. It just seems like trading one set of problems for another so hopefully doctor and patient will carefully weigh the benefits versus the risks. We shall see.

how are you still able to access archive.ph? do we need to put something in the hosts? All I've gotten there for the last month and a half is an nginx landing page.

There's something satisfying about seeing Chris Cornell and Pavarotti together on the same list.

No discussion of kitchen optimization is complete without mentioning the Finnish Dish Drying Cabinet invented by Maiju Gebhard while working as the head of the Household Department of the Finnish Work Efficiency Institute (1944-1945)

My gamer friend found a 23-inch CRT monitor on ebay and the box it showed up in was large enough to ship a washing machine. I can't imagine what it would be like for a 43-inch TV.

This is my problem when I try to open a jar with a stuck lid. In the act of gripping the lid well enough to have traction to turn it, I end up squeezing the lid so hard that it deforms and becomes harder to turn.
