I started volunteering at my local bike kitchen co-op, mostly just to meet like-minded people

i wonder if there are any kidneys or other organs on their 3rd person...

like the donee dies, and the original kidney goes on to someone else

I thought it was neat that the dyneema string he used is the same stuff they use on new (expensive) bike spokes

They'll be too dumb from CO2 poisoning to understand the problem!

I remember walking around Oxford and seeing "New College" with the date of 1379

well it's not a free market anyway, and supply has been severely constrained for decades, so I'm okay with not screwing renters

I just want AI to write and "film" the third season of Mindhunter, that's watchable

"eat less ultra-processed food"

well, how do you think Canola Oil is made exactly?

it's cracked, cooked, pressed, washed in hexane and acid, neutralized with caustic soda, bleached, deodorized

on what planet is that not ultra processed?

so, i should avoid ultra-processed food, except oils that are ultra-processed?

whereas tallow, is...cut from meat

i'm not suggesting you should only eat tallow, I'm just saying it's not ultra-processed.

i find earplugs so uncomfortable that it ruins my night

put everyone's birthday in your calendar, and wish them a happy birthday (at least a text) every year

like their stuff on social media

friendships ebb and flow, as people get married, have kids, get divorced, kids become independent, move away, move back. don't give up on a friend even if they disappear for a few years when they first have kids

try to arrange at least an annual in-person meet up, if in the same city

try to involve them in your interests, and try to take up their interests, or at least be curious

fantasy football is helpful. golf as you get older. baseball games. meet for lunch if you're in their part of town. host parties for events like super bowl, the oscars, stuff like that

I'm slightly annoyed that vite's default port isn't 8483

Kipchoge broke 2h a few years ago, but it was on a closed, low altitude track, with a fleet of rotating runners in front of him, providing wind blocking/drafting as well as pacing

Amazing these guys did it in a real race with no one in front of them (at the end at least)

Not necessarily genetic. They run a lot, at altitude, from childhood

I guess Furiosa is set near Papunya, Northern Territory, Australia then...

(The first chapter of the movie is titled The Pole of Inaccessibility)
