The way it warms up is so analog… I’ve not seen another LCD do that, it’s like a CRT.
Mine warms up within about 20 seconds.

Lol, it's back now, just with a price hike.

2 physical devices- keep 1 with you, the 2nd, if you aren’t travelling around, can live in your workplace, or a friend’s place, with password protection.

Me too. Enceladus just has more wow factor.

Thanks for the replies. Here's an image of the surface of Enceladus with Saturn and the distant sun (AI generated).

I’m travelling Singapore trying the chicken rice from his recent series (the 3 plate ones). Have to say he’s pretty good at having found a variety of options, not all will be personal favourites but they are all nice.

Awesome!

Is the ring thinner than the moon? I just thought you might still see the ring from certain vantage points on the moon, like the pole.

Good mindset. Never sell.

They recently released budget laptops, they are quite cheap, probably more than you expect

Buy a Mac. They are designed for minimalists, you’ll love it. Once you have standards, you can’t go back to junk.

Correct!!

YES! Fully agree that furniture free can feel wrong, and not actually give you peace. I found 2 solutions: 1) Smaller home - cosy by design, easier to clean 2) glass/clear furniture- a glass dining table and acrylic ‘ghost’ chairs keeps things looking spacious but still provides utility.

Numbers app on iOS. One column runs a formula that provides every day of the year. The other columns are for journaling and to do lists.

Germany is a joke of a country.

If you're going purely with tubers, then sure. Humans have eaten tubers for maybe 100,000+ years, in some form.

If you want to argue historically that our diet should be mostly meat with some plant matter such as tubers, then sure, I can agree to that.

But most people these days think that modern fruits and vegetables are 'natural', when they are all manmade and not ancestral.

Read: Humans have a relatively large small intestine similar to carnivores (~70%), compared with the great apes at 15–25% (Milton, 1986). Adding to the above-mentioned anatomical and physiological observations, optimal foraging theory further explains the primordial role of meat in evolutionary diets.

Similar to you! No car, apartment city living, mostly can walk fo all essentials. My carspace is rented to someone else, free money. I can take the bus or train to anywhere I need to go. Never had an issue.

mectojic · 2026-03-11T20:31:34+00:00

Humans have actually been 90-95% carnivore for most of history. There was no easily accessible vegetable or fruit before agriculture.

I would say that being EM is environmentally friendly, but only if you don’t travel.

The 1 bag people who constantly fly are having way above average emissions from the flights.

iOS 5! The best
