If you work with your hands, rest with your mind. If you work with your mind, rest with your hands.

There’s a lot of crossover here but off the top of the dome:

Hand-based hobbies -playing music -cooking -woodworking -lifting weights, running, climbing -building dioramas/models -art (needle craft, drawing/painting, sculpting) -**casual video games **

Mind-based hobbies -puzzles -fast paced video games -programming -learn a new language

Those in bold are what I do. Also starting to learn art. It’s one of the lowest barrier to entry hobbies. All you need is paper and a pencil.

I feel you. The local alternative station played a “throwback” of Macklemore’s Thrift Shop.

I use one that works 90% of the time. I can’t remember the exact name so I’ll check when I get home but it’s something like “Purple Adblocker”.

Cell signalling pathways was the worst part of microbial genetics for me. Luckily I don’t have to deal with that anymore as my day to day is digital PCR and NGS.

The shopping list feature is the most used part of my Alexa, followed by morning weather report while I feed the animals, and then occasional music.

Every state I’ve lived in has had vote by mail. I’ve never voted at a polling place because of the convenience of vote by mail.

Lies of Locke Lamora is beautifully written gritty fantasy. Thus far there are 3 books in the series.

I’ve never read the Warhammer 40K books so I can speak to the quality of writing, but the series definitely matches the genre of interest.

Someone’s probably already coined the term, but I’m going to call it LLM inbreeding.

Happened to me playing helldivers last night. Luckily I did not die.

Ooh didn’t know about windows + arrow keys. Super useful!

YouTube.com through firefox with uBo for me. SmartTube is super easy to set up and if anyone is on the fence, do it now.

If someone is using meth in prison, the whole prison should be shut down.

Skin cancer is a bitch.

You may be interested in Aska. It asks the question “what if valheim was also a colony sim?”. It’s a bit less chill then Stardew/Portia, but it is a classless, moneyless community building game.

No clue. I tried to Google the article but to no avail.

I remember reading an article a month or two ago about a guy ordering a bunch of precursor amphetamines from China, and the distributor was able to route them through Mexico. He called it “simple” to acquire.

Ryobi garden tools are legit. I have the 40V string trimmer and 40V mower, and an 18V leaf blower, and so far I have no complaints. I once heard someone say that Ryobi tools are R&D for Milwaukee (as they are the same parent company).

My shop tools are all DeWalt because that’s what my parents and wife’s parents bought us for gifts.

10 am is way too late where I live. It’ll be >90 by then, and that’s a great way to get hear stroke. Most people in my neighborhood are out by 730 working.

Resorptive lesions? That’s what my guy has. Snaggletooths are also cute!
