@liran_tal You should name it something planet-like, along the lines of "Alderaan". That way you can say things like "I'm sure that's in the database on Alderaan..."
English
@nixcraft I would start by renaming it, and seeing if anything breaks

I have a text file saved and named as do-not-forget-it.txt with the following text only (nothing else):
41013379621
I have no clue about this. This file exists since past 10+ years and I am now too afraid to delete it.

@mattvanswol @bryan_johnson I believe that no one--when they get toward the end of their life--looks back longingly and says "I wish I had consumed more alcohol."
English
@bryan_johnson I am five years sober...
One of the best decisions I've ever made, bar none and I highly recommend it to most people.
There is very little upside to putting yourself at risk of saying/doing things you don't mean because you've destroyed your self-control for fun.

Friends, stop drinking alcohol.
Not cut back. Eliminate.
> alcohol increases cortisol
> disrupts REM sleep
> accelerates epigenetic aging
> shrinks hippocampal volume
> elevates resting heart rate
> raises inflammatory markers
> impairs glucose metabolism for 16 hrs
One drink does that.

@wesbos I am both disturbed and gratified that I understand this post completely....

Carbon steel is the Vim of the pan world.
Takes forever to get going, the people are insufferable, yet you know you are superior than every other normie who can’t figure it out

@wesbos carbon steel people always sound insane until the pan locks in and then you're recruiting for the cult

I have $500 in cash in my HSA (my plan’s minimum).
The rest is invested in the S&P 500.
I’m tracking all my medical expenses and plan to reimburse myself in 20 years.
This is how you use HSA to its fullest extent

@AJWTheology @daneortlund It does not seem likely that an all-knowing sovereign God would accidentally resurrect someone unintended.

“Lazarus, come out!”
—John 11:43
“Presumably Jesus used Lazarus’s name to prevent *all* the dead of that region immediately rising, so absolute is Christ’s power to raise the dead.”

@qikipedia That might not be the most useful word for me to know in Swedish...
English
In Swedish mythology, the word ‘Midgård’, which means ‘in-between yard or enclosure’, meant the Earth. In modern Swedish, the word ‘mellangård’, which also means ‘in-between yard or enclosure’, is a term for the ‘perineum’.

@InvestingAddict I'm still on the waitlist for my Robinhood Gold card after a year. I'm interested to see what happens with X Money soon, so I'll get a card for whichever card offers itself to me first.
English
Why is the waitlist so long for the Robinhood Gold Card?
3% cash back is great but it isn’t that “Special.”
It took me a month to get mine and others have been on the waitlist for years.
Do they do it intentionally?

@mattvanswol I see many ideas here that I agree with. However, if you have a long list of professions that you see being replaced by AI, then surely AI is a field to consider...
English
I could use some help.
My kids (middle/high school) are already thinking about college and life after graduation.
Looking 5–10 years out, it’s hard to find a path that doesn’t look like AI could replace it.
If you were them, what would you study or do after high school?

@engineers_feed What about the "four and twenty blackbirds"...?

No number from 1 to 999 contains the letter A in its english spelling.

@EWErickson I'd like to live in a world where the tigers had to care about the mosquitoes too...
English
Mosquitoes kill more people annually than tigers.
Lloyd Braun@wadeblasingame1
@EWErickson Erick in a room with a tiger, and he’s screaming at everyone to pay attention to the mosquito buzzing around.

It seems I completely misunderstood how ski jumping works.
The New York Times@nytimes
From @TheAthletic: Reports have surfaced before the Winter Olympics that allege ski jumpers are injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid to fly farther. The World Anti-Doping Agency has vowed to investigate. nyti.ms/4r10aaA
