  My mortality! Hit 45 this year and it kinda feels like it’s all downhill from here.

  Health is ok but that seems tenuous as I’m pretty out of shape so I feel like I’m not “set up” yet to be a healthy older person. When something does go wrong I’m not sure if I should worry about getting it treated or just live with it.

  It seems futile to learn new skills and such since I’m not sure about the payoff (ROI).

  Family/kids/job/money are all pretty great so I don’t have anything to complain about, but I’m still kind of feeling like I’m about to crest the hill of life and want to ensure I’m making the best of it and prepared for my eventual demise.

  I don’t want to die! I really like being alive and kind of wish I had immortality (with a safety kill switch of course so I don’t have to endure the heat-death of the universe or get stuck inside a star somewhere lol)

  Having no actual presence on social media

  I’ve got some bad news for you…

  I know this is meant to sound like the expansion is fast, but it is in fact really, REALLY slow.

  I remember printing out turn-by-turn directions from MapQuest lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hates aluminum⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I still cringe at the “posted on x, formerly known as Twitter” wording everyone feels the need to use, even almost a year later.

  I think we should all just call it Twitter and ignore the name change.

  They’re in Facebook too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis after city council forces them to pay drivers more⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know the economics, truly, but there are a LOT more expenses involved in running a large business like Uber on top of driver wages, such as technology service and hardware costs, programmers and central admin/customer service, rent or cost of buildings including utilities, insurance, taxes, fees, consulting and auditing, cybersecurity, legal, and probably quite a bit more I can’t think of. Running a business is friggin expensive.

  Definitely not defending paying workers less, just trying to explain why they still might not be in the black even in your scenario.

  While I acknowledge that Ryobi is at the bottom of the barrel, my experience with them has been really good. I’ve been using the same drill/driver for 20 years, and have gotten lots of use out of their other tools.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mayim Bialik Out As ‘Jeopardy!’ Host⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  She doesn’t deserve hate and animosity, but this was definitely the right decision. Her pacing and flow never worked for the game, while Ken seemed to take to it much more adeptly. His hosting feels natural and easy and he comes off amiable and charismatic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quizzle – Can you guess the word in fewer than twenty questions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I got 17 and I think it was a bat, but I don’t know because once I answered bat, the game quickly threw me to the main screen with no feedback, but it definitely wasn’t my last question.

  That’s not how nuclear bombs work lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A touching quote from Nimoy's "I am Spock" book (1995)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t even know who Jim Parsons is, so perhaps he’ll be a little less affected by that, but Seinfeld is a poor example because the character (and show) is literally named after the actor. Though I’ll concede your point stands for George and Kramer.

  If the programmers have any competence, the update will just fail and you’ll have to restart the process.

  I’m just disappointed they didn’t do the proper conversion from USD to GBP. Should only be about £6.50!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EBAY Prices⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The MA1 is not worth the trouble. It is soooo finicky. I’ve had to factory reset and re-setup on multiple occasions from things as simple as walking out of range.

  After me and my daughter spent a full hour trying to get any of our phones to reconnect to the damn thing, I had had it and sent the thing back to Amazon and got my $100 back. Much happier just using a cable again.

  Wow yeah, interesting! I’m on Sync/Android and it’s a brown wagon wheel for me.

  You made me proud of myself! I have left all three!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But have you tried Jerboa?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I am exactly your use-case. Was using RIF, then I’ve been using Jerboa up until Sync was released. I never used Sync for Reddit.

  My opinion on the two differs from yours, however. Sync seems SO much better than Jerboa to me. Yep, the font was small but I was able to embiggen it. Everything else seems faster and more intuitive. Jerboa was so buggy for me.
