Avoid the clickbaity headline:

Farley and Lawler were left both shocked and impressed by how smooth and quiet their drive was, The Journal reported.

“Jim, this is nothing like before,” Lawler told Farley, per The Journal.

“These guys are ahead of us,” Lawler added.

Farley’s fears were piqued again in May when he made another trip to China, The Journal reported.

“John, this is an existential threat,” Farley told Ford board member and former Goldman Sachs executive John Thornton after his trip.

The argument was that before we drilled holes into them, those stone formations had held similarly sized pockets of natural gas for eons, so just refilling them with CO2 would be fine. It sounds not completely stupid on first thought.

On second thought it sounds completely stupid tho.

wasn’t there some research recently that said that like 20% of what your brain does was actually controlled by your gut microbiota?

Is this a copypasta or just new greatness?

I love how all of the characters are scowling and have their game faces on… and then there’s Kirby, who’s like “Hi there! I’m gonna eat you and extract your power!”

Think the Baltics have a vested interest in seeing Ukraine succeed?

Softer running surface and better/newer shoes are the usual answers. Asphalt and especially concrete are much harder than your treadmill surface so your shins are taking more shock with each strike. If you can shift some of your run to turf or natural surfaces that will help.

The other thing is to check your shoes and change them every 300-500 miles or so. A running store employee can usually watch your gait and make suggestions about the right kind of support, padding, etc for you.

It would be ideal If the big activitypub platform stacks like mastodon, Lemmy, etc could agree on some standard like a federated OIDC or DID approach for all authx/authn functions. then fediverse users could get cross-platform and even cross-instance logins “for free”

Of the changes made last week to the license, this one stands out:

10. None of the Work may be used in any form as part, or whole, of an integration, plugin or app that integrates with Atlassian’s Confluence or Jira products.

That is a weird carve-out, so I’d guess the license revision (and technically the reason it’s no longer open source) somehow has to do with Atlassian or their plugin marketplace?

Feel like the (totally impractical) fediverse end-game would be for each individual to have their own activitypub service, and federation happening on a person-by-person basis. So you retain some control over anything you publish, and your history is yours to keep.

As others have said, changing UPS batteries is required maintenance, and I agree 18-24 months is the typical service life for even high-end UPSs. However, you may want to look into LiFePO4 based UPSs, which can handle many more charge-discharge cycles and often have 5-year warranties. More expensive and potentially not as recyclable as lead acid batteries, but maybe appropriate for your use case.

oh, of course. Should have read the title of the graph :/

A “0 books” category would make this a lot more telling, unless “Less than 5” explicitly means 1-4

After 3 decades and about 30k miles of running I have 2 hips and 2 knees that could use this. I’d be a self-contained A/B test.

My favorite Elon Musk conspiracy theory is that he’s planning to intentionally blow up the starlink satellites once he’s on his way to mars to Kessler syndrome earth for a few years so he can set up his kingdom there.

I think these guys get headlines exactly because they target things that “belong” to all of us. PETA throwing red paint on some rich schmuck wearing furs? That might get a minute of airtime. But (safely) paint Stonehenge, throw baked beans on the Mona Lisa, etc and every news outlet will cover it.

When did we get away from saying “X - formerly known as Twitter” ? I liked seeing that gentle nudge in every headline.

It’s not like they swapped titanium for balsa wood. The origin docs were falsified or missing, which could mean anything from they weren’t the right purity but were shipped anyway to they were imported from Russia and illegally bypassing sanctions.

I’d let all of these statues and monuments stand, but require the descriptions to all be preceded with “defeated traitor”. So instead of the Robert E Lee Memorial Park or whatever it would now be the Defeated Traitor Robert E Lee Memorial Park. Require it to be referred to that way on Google Maps, local newscasts, etc and see how quickly people suddenly want to rename them.

What do you hate specifically – e.g. exercising in general, getting hot and sweaty, foot/leg/joint pain, your location or route, having to be alone with your thoughts for a while, etc? I’ve been running for nearly 3 decades now (yikes), and even as a kid I remember the thing that made it “click” with me is the realization that I literally could not be doing anything else at the same time (aside from listening to music, I guess).

I think that unless you are having physical pain (in which case the usual applies - check your shoes, modify your gait, reduce or restructure your runs to be more comfortable), you have to get into the headspace of just mentally doing nothing, which can be hard for some people.

FWIW I don’t know anyone who, in the middle of a 10k run in 90 degree heat with a side stitch says “I feel awesome right now!”, but I do know many, many people who will finish out that run, stop for a moment and then go “ahhhhhhh.”
