When I initially told people I was retiring months ago, it was funny that more than I expected reacted with “What will you do? I would be so bored!”

Since retiring, and albeit I’m still trading for fun 1-2 hours a day max, I’ve been so busy with hobbies and just living life

It’s almost like some people don’t have hobbies or don’t know how to enjoy life outside of stressing over work or dumb political/news shit. Hiking, golfing, traveling (domestically), reading, learning, etc. The list goes on

The marching in last Sunday's parade in DC didn't look like this!

Life sucks if you love #bananas or #banana #flavoring.

It is damn near impossible to find #banana #pudding (not the "banana cream pie" crap).
It's impossible to find #banana #IceCream (again, not the "banana cream pie" crap.)
It's damn near next to impossible to find #banana #bread.

The World does not enjoy bananas as much as I.

At least #BlueBell #IceCream makes frozen banana pops.

President Trump on TS, and almost exactly what I was saying earlier today:

“Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don’t want it either! Soon we’ll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year. It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

PS:
I'm not advocating war against #Iran and in particular not against its people, which is why I am paying tribute to the reported precision of the attack.

That said, I am not even convinced that the #Netanyahu Regime had a legitimate claim to self-defense.

However, it is obvious that now is the time to "finish the job:"

1) Obliterate all nuclear capabilities in #Iran. Such an oil and gas-rich country can need nuclear power for bellicose...

@HistoPol (#HP) 🏴 🇺🇸 🏴 @Mother Bones @Mark Chadbourn Netanyahu has attacked every neighboring nation, stolen land for most of them, committed genocide against them, probably has nuclear weapons, hardly one qualified to play the victim. And given the attitude of the average Israeli Jew is that the rest of the world should either be their slaves or be dead, I can't feel that sorry for the people there either.

More than 10,000 demonstrators took to the streets of São Paulo on June 11 in a massive campaign for Despejo Zero (Zero Evictions).
The state of São Paulo has 590,000 vacant residential properties, the highest concentration of unoccupied properties in the country.

"Petersen said that, in recent years, Brazil has been structurally producing less and less food, but more and more commodities. As a result, despite record production numbers, food inflation has been increasingly severe."
Acc to IBGE, soy will be half of what Brazil will produce in 2025. Soy is not part of the traditional Brazilian diet, that’s why around 65% of the grains harvested in the country are exported, with 70% going to China.

how to boot alpine linux on your mnt reform 2 with the rcore module:

- Install alpine in a chroot
- enable the main and community repos (libgpiod is in community)
- packages I installed in my chroot: sciops.net/downloads/rcore-wor…
- Add my repo to /etc/apk/repositories: sciops.net/downloads/alpine/ed…
- Add my pubkey to /etc/apk/keys: sciops.net/downloads/khm-6850e…
- apk add linux-rcore
- delete the /boot/extlinux directory
- put this file in /boot/boot.scr: sciops.net/downloads/rcore-boo…
- format an sdcard with two partitions: partition number one vfat, partition number two ext4
- copy /boot from the chroot to the sdcard's vfat partition
- copy everything else to the sdcard's ext4 partition
- insert the sd card and turn on the computer
- log in as root
- run rmmod dwmac_rk; gpioset -c 3 -t 100ms,100ms,0ms 23=1; modprobe dwmac_rk
- plug an ethernet cable in the computer if you don't have wifi
- install to nvme via setup-alpine
- check the resulting /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
- reference: sciops.net/downloads/rcore-ext…
- boot up / rock out

TODO:
- publish the APKBUILD and config for the kernel package
- try out some different kernel versions (lts and stable?)
- make a 'reformations' package that does gpioset on boot and contains some useful sway config
- fix bugs

hot take:

addictive screen use isn't leading to mental health issues in the youth, it's a symptom.

society increasingly doesn't care, so kids are trying to compensate.

that doesn't mean that commercial social media isn't designed to be addictive. the truth is that kids not properly cared for will be addicted to _something_. it's just another thing to get addicted to, which is easily accessible and doesn't raise immediate suspicion.

if it wasn't media consumption, it would be booze, weed or something else.

Chinese scientists using gene editing technology have successfully developed a new type of anti-aging cells called senescence (seno)-resistant human mesenchymal progenitor cells (SRCs), which generate exosomes that act as messengers in transmitting "youthful signals" for cell rejuvenation. The study offers a new cell therapy approach for humans to combat age-related health decline.

What grocery items are always worth the extra $1-$5?


Prices keep climbing, so I’m trying to pick my battles in the supermarket. Which items do you refuse to cheap out on, and why? Taste, health, longevity, peace of mind… I’d love to hear what’s worth the few extra dollars for you.

For me, it’s honey from local beekeepers—supermarket brands locally are known to sell fake or adulterated sugar syrup as honey.
