The power of saying no. I've always felt like the little white lie was great as a social lubricant - e.g., "Oh I'd love to come to your housewarming party but I've already got plans that day" when you know full well that you're available but you just don't wanna go.
But after a while, making excuses and remembering them later gets to be stressful. Especially for me because I'm horrible at lying lol. So I've learned to say things like "Thanks for inviting me, but I'm gonna sit this one out." It's a polite but clear 'no' and now I don't have to keep up a fib going forward.
To be fair, sometimes people don't like being told no, but I've been surprised to see that they'll usually accept it gracefully.
My family (just my dads side i guess?) is horrible at taking no for an answer. It took me most of my life to realise they needed to be firmly (and quite literally) told to fuck off in order for them to take a NO seriously. Learning that is probably the only reason i still have any kind of relationship with my dad, i don't care to interact with the rest of them.
"No" is a complete sentence.

The Guardian has identified the self-described “national socialist” behind an openly extremist YouTube channel that in just over two months has accumulated 50,000 subscribers, seen more than 2.3m views, and likely made thousands of dollars from YouTube’s revenue-sharing monetization program.
Johnathan Christopher “Chris” Booth, 37, lives in the unincorporated community of Coral, a part of Maple Valley Township in Michigan’s Montcalm county, and is married to a senior local Republican official.
Booth has published more than 70 YouTube videos since May on his Shameless Sperg account, whose graphic design elements feature stylized SS bolts. Titles of his videos – generally a recording of him delivering his views direct to camera – include: “Why I Dislike Jews. It’s not complicated”, “Black Crimes Matter: Never Relax” and “Jews and FBI hate you and your free speech”.
...
Booth is married to Meghyn “Meg” Booth, the Republican treasurer of Maple Valley Township. Meg Booth has “liked” several posts with extremist themes on Chris Booth’s Facebook account with her personal account. Chris Booth’s Facebook page also features extensive racist propaganda along with iconography often employed by neo-Nazis.

Why is land/sky so cleanly split between mammals/birds?
I suspect it's partly just coincidence. Prior to the K–Pg extinction, the sky was ruled by non-birds. Pterosaurs. In fact, the late Cretaceous saw some of the largest creatures to ever fly, like Quetzalcoatlus and Hatzegopteryx.
At the same time, it was also not mammals that ruled the ground, it was, as many an eight year-old can attest, dinosaurs.
The K–Pg extinction event may have killed off all the non-avian dinosaurs and pterosaurs, in part because of their larger size. So the very thing that made them "rule" before is what killed them off, and conversely, the very thing that kept avian dinosaurs (i.e., birds) and mammals from ruling during the Cretaceous is what allowed them to survive that event and evolve to fill the many niches vacated by non-avian dinosaurs after the event.
At the same time, it was also not mammals that ruled the ground, it was, as many an eight year-old can attest, dinosaurs.

Self Loading Mixers with Tough Tires: The Ultimate Off-Road Concrete Solution
In the challenging terrain of remote construction sites, where conventional concrete delivery methods falter, self loading concrete mixers with rugged tire systems are emerging as the definitive solution. These robust machines combine autonomous operation with exceptional mobility to conquer landscapes that would stop other equipment in its tracks. From mining camps to wind farm installations, these off-road warriors are redefining what's possible in concrete placement, blending raw capability with precision engineering to deliver results where it matters most.
Conquering Extreme Terrain with Purpose-Built Design
The true test of any off-road equipment comes when faced with soft sand, muddy tracks, or rocky inclines – conditions where standard construction vehicles quickly become immobilized. Self-loading concrete mixers for sale UK built for such environments feature oversized, deep-tread tires with reinforced sidewalls that distribute weight evenly while providing exceptional grip. Unlike traditional mixing trucks that require stable roads, these specialized tires allow operation on gradients up to 25 degrees and can traverse terrain that would challenge even experienced off-road drivers. The secret lies in their adaptive tire pressure systems, which operators can adjust on-the-fly to match changing ground conditions without stopping work.
Uninterrupted Production in Isolated Locations
Remote job sites often lack the infrastructure for conventional concrete supply, making self-sufficiency paramount. These mixers carry their own water supply and aggregate storage, eliminating dependence on external batching plants. Their loading arms can source materials directly from local stockpiles, while the integrated weighing system ensures perfect mix proportions every time. What truly sets them apart is their ability to maintain production continuity – mixing one batch while moving to the next placement location, a capability that transforms productivity in sprawling projects like pipeline installations or rural road networks. The combination of autonomous operation and off-road mobility means concrete arrives exactly where needed, precisely when required, regardless of how far off the beaten path the work occurs.
Durability That Matches the Demands of Harsh Environments
Construction equipment faces its toughest challenges not just from terrain, but from the punishing conditions of dust, vibration, and constant use. Off-road self-loading mini concrete mixers are built to a different standard, with hardened steel components in high-wear areas and completely sealed electrical systems that withstand prolonged exposure to the elements. Their drivetrains feature heavy-duty axles and limited-slip differentials that provide traction even when partially submerged. Maintenance access points are strategically placed for easy servicing in field conditions, while critical components like the mixing drum benefit from abrasion-resistant liners that extend service life in silica-rich environments. This level of ruggedization ensures reliable operation through thousands of cycles in conditions that would quickly disable conventional equipment.
The advent of properly equipped self-loading mixers has effectively erased the concept of "inaccessible" when it comes to concrete placement. As infrastructure development pushes into increasingly challenging environments, these machines stand ready to deliver the literal foundation for progress. Their unique combination of mobility, autonomy, and durability represents not just an equipment category, but a fundamental shift in how the construction industry approaches remote projects. For contractors facing the dual challenges of difficult terrain and concrete supply, these tough-tired workhorses offer a solution that's as practical as it is powerful.

The first thing I recently started doing on the NAS is virtual machines. I installed Virtual Machine manager, and it's pretty easy to use, you just create a VM, you select how many CPU cores and how much RAM you want, you create a virtual disk, and you select an ISO from the NAS storage, and you're good to go.
Another thing I run is Plex. It's a media server. I store movies and TV Shows in there, and I play these from my TV, with the Plex app. Plex was available as a one click install from the package center of Synology DiskStation manager.
I also use my NAS to run my own VPN. Of course, you do lose the access to a foreign IP, and some privacy, since, well the VPN gets your home Ip address, so the same that your computer might have had.
I use the VPN server app from the NAS's package manager, and I used OpenVPN. Setting things up was super easy, I just had to export the config file, and import it in GNOME's settings, after modifying the file to add the domain name that my NAS uses as the IP, and I also had to open the relevant port in my router's config, of course.
Another thing I use my NAS for is to stop paying for cloud photo and video storage. I use SYnology Photos here. It's a nice little app that you can run on your NAS and on your mobile devices. What it does is basically the same thing as Apple Photos, or GOogle Drive: you open the app, it backs everything up to your NAS, and you can access them from any web browser, manage albums
Now, for the most original use of a NAS: file storage and backups. To do that, I use the SYnology Drive client, which is available on Linux.
I use this app to create a backup of my /home directory, to my NAS storage. I also created a sync task to sync the photos that came from my phone, to my NAS, to my computer.
I also use my NAS as a file exchange thingy. When I record something on a test laptop for a video, I store all the recordings on the NAS, and I download them back from the computer I'll do the editing on.
All the storage is also accessible through Samba, so I can connect to it easily from my local network.
Now there are a few things I would like to try and setup here as well. The first one is Nextcloud. I'm planning to use the Container Manager app to use Docker and install Nextcloud with that, on the NAS.
Another thing I'd like to do is automating a download of the latest videos from my youtube subscription feed, and to create an RSS feed for that so I can use any podcast client or app to watch just these videos.
Another thing I'd like to try is to setup Kasm Workspaces: it's a self hostable solution to run desktops, operating systems, or apps remotely, and stream them to a web browser.
I'm pretty sure I can install that using Docker on the NAS, and replace the Virtual Machines manager that Synology offers with something open source. It probably won't change my workflow all that much, but open source solutions are just more my jam, and it's a fun project to try and tackle.
