Walking regularly, reducing carbs intake, reducing alcohol intake.

I don’t have to be radical, it helps even when I sometimes go overboard on eating or drinking.

It also keeps my head leveled. Plus I get to listen to a lot of podcasts.

It’s not a new phenomena, but it seems to be growing.

I remember when perfectly functional scanners and printers were ditched because the new Windows version would not support them and the vendor would not provide OEM drivers either.

Nowadays they unplug some servers and you are left with an expensive doorstop. That’s progress, I guess.

In the old days, Last.fm was good for discovering music I might like based on what I listen to.

Nowadays I have this method (hear me out) that consists of drinking a bit too much, listening to favorites on YouTube and opening multiple tabs with what I suspect are good suggestions. This leads me into multiple rabbit holes where I occasionally strike gold.

It perfectly describes their contribution to this reality. Thank you.

Depending on the aquifer the water temperature at the spring can be really cold, even in the warmest days.

You never actually drank from a natural spring, have you?

You probably need them just to deal with the stress induced by teenagers.

I really admire teachers, in my country they don’t make much money and are subject to be placed hundreds of km away from their families for years.

I’m learning Python. Not bad, but I prefer C.

I jumped to Tidal many years ago because Spotify could not be bothered to provide high quality output. Yes, you can ear the difference, even on shitty gear.

For the stuff I could not get on either platform I started buying CDs on Discogs and ripping them to FLAC.

Edit: ear, not eat.

Down.

I’m sorry to disagree. I’ve been using Microsoft crap since the days where you had to free up memory in config.sys to load Novell Netware drivers, and never has Microsoft been the cool kid in town. It was always the fat bastard bully kid that would beat and extort the other kids.

If you are in a hurry, try Up.

That’s pretty much the only advantage of getting old.

That’s, like, your opinion, man.

I see what you did there…

I loathe gyms, they are usually full of smelly obnoxious people.

The alternate I found is putting on running shoes, headphones, and go outside.

True, but living in a country where the majority of cars are still manual I can tell you that that myth still stands.

We have electronic injection engines, you can stop with that neutral crap now.

The IBM Thinkpads with butterfly keyboard.

Or the Psion Series 5, but that’s technically a palmtop.

If it was for me I’d welcome with the darker mood, but the game was for my kids.

“Everybody hates you when you’re 23” said some wise punk rocker.

There are a lot of idiots in the world, and some of them are old.

Old people may seem angry because they’ve seen a lot of crap and it just keeps coming in new, unexpected forms.
