First, I agree with your comment.

But since you specifically bring up omeprazole: I backed off of pantoprazole by getting a prescription for half-dose pills (since they're time released, you can't just cut them in half), then decreasing frequency (alternating days, then tapering off) and retained the benefits.

There are plenty of confounding factors in my case, but checking occasionally if you can back out of a drug is worthwhile.

Very, very nice!

West Kennet Longbarrow's also appropriately spooky. I've been there with people too scared to stay inside.

Fastmail is fast enough and has rich enough keyboard shortcuts that I stopped using mutt for it. It's very good.

Yes. Someone who masters circular breathing in a weekend should start playing a wind instrument.

Is the idea that you can stick with tmux splitting-resizing keys instead of vim ones?

I ride mine 2 miles a day, sometimes 3 based on a variable commute. Mine doesn't have gears or a spedometer so I can only say I am comfortable at the fastest speed I can pedal -- but it would feel unstable to go much faster, say, on a very steep hill.

I'm not trying to imply it feels like a weirdly shaped mountain bike. I'm saying it does its particular job very well. The seating position and narrow handlebars definitely preclude it doing anything other than getting you from the train station to work on urban streets.

I have a real bicycle, too for, well, actually riding a bicycle.

Exactly this. Even though I don't use git-bug anymore, I'm still a sponsor. I desperately want an issue-tracker-in-.git to become a standard.

Issues and CI are the only lock-in. The latter is legitimate because you're using someone else's CPU, but every developer has the tooling to "git diff" and write comments if we could just agree on a format.

There are Strida's with gears.

It's definitely weird to ride -- I would ride it on a commute of more than a few miles. It's less stable than a real bike, but not completely unstable. e.g. I can fall of curbs but can't jump up them.

Most body parts are specialty, not the brakes system, I believe.

It meets its design goals very well: - Internal brake cables and quick release mean it folds very fast and doesn't get tangled up. - It can be rolled around when folded so you don't have to lug it. - It stands tall and thin so only takes the space of a small standing passenger on transit.

I grew up being told the two biggest names were Morris and Diana Dors.

I have to agree with other threads that I don't believe most of his conjectures, but they're great for stimulating thought.

A great webhost, too. You can log in and edit html/index.html directly or scp stuff up.

Still going strong. I started there when they were still on DEC alphas.

They didn't mention my favorite part, the name. "Prolefeed" I've been waiting for someone to pick up the word so people would get more self-conscious about consuming it.

[Buzzkill] for android lets you completely control if you get specific notifications at all or with sound etc. I bunch up noisy text threads in once-a-day chunks, silence all notifications not about/from nuclear family from sleep to wake, etc.

It really made me appreciate that, when I have to have my phone, notifications are like an extra obnoxious form of e-mail with all of its problems. [Buzzkill] gives me the phone equivalent of Inbox Zero.

For instance, I installed Xubuntu on an ancient laptop (reluctantly ensured it was 64-bit, but that's it) recently and everything's fine.

I wasn't told by the installer to watch out or have apt choke or anything.

This is the first time it occurred to me Xubuntu and Kubuntu might be somehow unofficial. I'm not plugged into the Ubuntu community, so figured the flavors were offered by Canonical.

Why is the server version so supposedly demanding if you can install it without X/Wayland? Or can't you?

This is a reach, but do you know where to find the essay I read about someone explaining to King David that a whale isn't a fish and the King laughs at him because his modern mammal explanations are useless and impractical compared to the ones he uses?

I've been trying to re-find it for ages.
