Well, it seems that I would have been have been in the 5% of study participants who did not obtain immediate BPH relief. Dang.

@amaldorai @harrisondubay Also, giving some working space for said maintenance to be performed.

@harrisondubay The alley prevents you from having to maintain shared property with your neighbor who may not be a sensible or reasonable individual

Why are Anglos obsessed with houses that don’t touch. What is the anorexia alley achieving
Daniel Sultan@danielsultan
Would love to see developers build suburbia like this.

@NickLongrich @Robotbeat This brings to mind the sci-fi story 'Construction Shack' by Clifford Simak
English
@Robotbeat Crazy conspiracy theorists claim the moon landings were faked but the real conspiracy is that they were all too successful, and we found something we were never meant to find. Thats why we never went back, and why NASA kept building shuttles that don’t work. All by design.
English
Can you imagine a NASA that leaned into "space is a horrifying void that makes you go insane"? No, obviously, it'd be immediately defunded because why would you fund that. Think about it. Yet somehow a ton of scifi is just edgecore or just straight horror.
Robotbeat🗽 ➐@Robotbeat
BTW, NASA itself is hopecore (it HAS to be). Think about it.

@musestoomuch Points on the this curve are marked by changes in the nature of the few things.
English
@stepfanie The kinds of calories matter a lot too.
Dean Ornish's 'Spectrum Diet' book is a bit repetitive, but the main idea of arranging foods on a spectrum of healthy to indulgent seems solid to me.
As you cite it too, thermodynamics: Sum of sources - sum of sinks = accumulation.
English
1. Eat less
2. Don’t eat as much as you currently do
3. Consume fewer calories than your body burns
4. Eat whatever you want, just less of it
5. Stop eating so much
6. Eat in a deficit
7. Ingest fewer calories
English
@jennyrozelle I encapsulate this idea in the expression:
"Technology leads, morality follows, and the law lags far behind"
English
Historically, unauthorized practice of law (UPL) enforcement has been sparse.
But as chatbots, online platforms, and non-attorney professionals expand access to legal help, the line between permissible and prohibited feels increasingly arbitrary.
Either enforcement needs to catch up and give us meaningful guidance, or the rules themselves need to evolve.

In addition to phone-free schools, there seems to be one more area where left and right can agree:
Pervasive frictionless heavily advertised gambling is a scourge. States that legalized it are harming their own citizens and especially their young adults.
Rod Dreher@roddreher
For the first time in my life, let me say: I 100 percent agree with @AOC. She's completely right. Legalized gambling is a scourge.
English
They say never meet your heroes so am I just supposed to pretend that the lady who gave no damns and let it rip like it was nobody’s business in the toilet stall next to me at the train station doesn’t exist when she pulls up next to me at the sink, or should I introduce myself?
English
@AnnaLeptikon Sad to read of this, and may you eventually find relief.
Thanks for the many interesting things you post.
English
Sleep restored - my blanket was weighted by cat.
Both cats missed me, and I missed them.
English
Procedure went well, home and ready to hit the rack after only 3h sleep last night.
English
@GovernorAnne Excellence in all dimensions of your many varied pursuits!
English
Update: I won $500 on this scratch ticket and I am not kidding
Anne 🐗🐍🦃@GovernorAnne
I’m an excellent rebuttal to “nature over nurture” arguments because I grew up trailer trash and went on to become a successful lady with a degree from a fancy east coast school but on the other hand I’m currently sitting on my porch smoking a cigarette and doing a scratch ticket
English
@amaldorai @rohindhar Yep. Move where the action is in the work that interests you.
English
@rohindhar I recently visited NYC for the first time in ~10 years and I think it no longer feels like the center of the universe
There’s a kind of person who wants to be at the center of things: Goldman Sachs in the 2000s, Uber in the 2010s, Anthropic in the 2020s
English
Someone told me recently they were at an event for people who had recently moved to San Francisco and worked in tech
And mind you, the stat they said was so outrageous it strains credibility and I can’t really vouch for it 😅
But of the 40 people at the event
38 of them had moved from New York
English
@sentientist Also, the possibility of 1h uninterrupted conversation on the return trip. Time is the non-fungible resource.
English
Airport pickup is a costlier signal now that Uber exists. Anyone can send flowers; only someone who actually wants to spend two hours of their evening will drive to the airport.
Sacrifice for a non-utilitarian outcome is romantic- that's why buying a diamond ring is more romantic than buying new kitchen appliances.
Romy@Romy_Holland
i actually don’t understand why ppl care about airport pickups/drop offs in the age of uber. if the airport is like 10 min away i see how it’s nice, but driving an hour or more round trip is just a huge waste of time.
English
Last night will be entered into the records as one of my worst for sleep, ~3h all in, despite trying diligently. I also improvised earplugs from bits of a napkin; marginally effective.
Still, I am warm and comfortable, on the right side of the grass. Blessed to be so.
English
Sleep is elusive, despite my improvised eye shade.
A diabolical machine buzzes every 30s as it alternately inflates things like blood-pressure cuffs on each leg. Sigh
English
@lapislagoons Love is indeed great, though I think most folk on the 405 cry over the benighted traffic.
English
I’ve started associating my seemingly random cry sessions with beautiful lovely things in my life instead of assuming I’m feeling something heavy or dark and today I was crying on the 405 overwhelmed by how different my friend is now after meeting the love of her life ,,
feeling the difference of energy in her home
seeing the ways she changed her furniture and how cozy her home feels, it was always cozy but it’s deeper now,
the way she dresses ,
the little dog bowl for her partners dog,
it’s all so lovely, love is the most beautiful thing to happen to anyone,
it solidifies and nurtures so much good
ahhhh my heart I’m so happy for her
English
@CarolWalshReal1 We can pay the taxes, and also expect that the funds are wisely and efficiently spent, eh?
English
Absolute magic as I headed up 1 to Ventura, 74 degrees at sunset.
Killer offshore sets as I passed the epic surf spots.
Couples climbing the sand dune to watch the sunset.
Just pay the taxes lil bro
