If you're over 45, get a colonoscopy.
I know someone in her 60s who recently had her first colonoscopy. They found a tumor, requiring surgery to remove a section of her colon. She had no symptoms before, and is an otherwise healthy and active person.
The pathology report showed that the tumor had just penetrated the outer wall of her colon. If she'd waited longer, it would have metastasized. An earlier colonoscopy could have nipped it as a polyp.
Just do it. It could save your life.

Boeing is remarkable because it's a nearly perfect exemplar of the outcomes of our current economy, whether on society, the planet, or even companies themselves.
Boeing used to be well known for how well it treated its employees. It used to have tons of "lifers" who worked there until they retired. It used to make a respectable profit, and enjoyed almost universal praise for its product quality.
Then, modern capitalist goons showed up.

"Python's Preprocessor", a really amazing blog post about abusing customs codecs to do arbitrary preprocessing steps on python files before the VM sees it: pydong.org/posts/PythonsPrepro…
Examples include: Python with braces, adding x++ etc to Python, but the best one is clearly running (very lightly prepared) C++ code with the python vm using the cppyy module (!) by running 'python test.cpp'

Americké "príslovie" Boeing - not going! dosiahlo práve priam termosférických výšin.
Potupnejšie to snáď ani nemohlo dopadnúť, ale významným plusom je, že sa rozhodli nehazardovať so životmi astronautov.

On Ukraine Independence Day, we reaffirm our full support to the people of 🇺🇦 in their existential fight against the Russian aggression.
So far, we have supported the people of Ukraine by:
🇪🇺 providing close to €114 billion of overall assistance from the EU and its countries;
🤝 giving shelter and access to jobs, training, housing, and healthcare to, more than 4 million people fleeing the war;
🛑 adopting 14 packages of hard-hitting sanctions against Russia to cripple its war machine.
Well, crap. I wanted three things. Let’s not press the checkout button.
twelve years ago, a painter by the name of anders ramsell painted 12,597 aquarelle paintings of blade runner, shot by shot, of the entire film edited down to ~35 minutes. it took two years of painstaking work, all done in his spare time after work each night.
the video circled around the web for a few years, and quietly disappeared from every single site it was hosted at.
a few months ago i spent a few hours digging for it, and finally found a copy of the original file.
i'm not sure how long it will last over at IA, so enjoy it while you can. it is a true achievement. 🙏

Didn't we realize what a bad idea content warnings were when the Christian war on sex forced us to create movie ratings? Or was the chilling censorship an inspiration for the guy who implemented content warnings?
Basically... yes, that is a very good question: what should people put a content warning on? There is no way to tell whether you should censor something. These people are requiring you to censor everything, just in case, all the while denying that's what content warnings are.
The worst part is when they work. You think people become more open minded and less freaked out about the littlest thing, when they're never exposed to it? It's our duty to fucking swear, because people who swear in anger or frustration don't deserve to be demonized by people who haven’t got used to seeing bad words.
That leads to actual legislation where people will censor file sharing, Communism, sex, peace protests, whatever the establishment wants us to fear. If all the good people use CWs, then I’ll only see bad people doing that, so what harm is there in policing them? Oh my god did you just distribute a publication about black people being people, in the 1800's? You're going to get innocent white children killed because you didn't content warn that shit!
tl;dr content warnings are shit. I have to disable them because there's no way for my computer to predict what's going to horrify me, since they're just natural language with no regular syntax, resulting in me seeing some horrifying shit which I don't appreciate. Tags are better, less judgemental, and not disgusting, vile censorship from people who should feel bad for thinking themselves virtuous for demanding it of others.
And honestly, if you’re posting horrifying shit I don’t want to see, why am I following you at all? Problem solved right there, no witch trials needed.
idea:
With wireguard tunnels and the 128-bit address space of IPV6, one could build a free, global "private LAN" that anybody could join, and get free connectivity to anybody else on that LAN, no matter where they are in the world. No port forwards, no fiddling with NATs, just open up a port and give participating friends an easy-to-remember hostname.
This is how the internet was supposed to work in the first place, but this was ruined by the scarcity of IPV4 addresses, slow adoption of IPV6, consumer NATs, carrier-grade NATs and all that junk.
If you're thinking "tailscale", you're basically right, except with one global network instead of many tiny ones.
This doesn't mean every node would necessarily always need to accept connections from everybody else, it'd be perfectly fine to pop-up a Windows style notification every time you exposed something on a new port, asking who should be able to connect. "the entire world" should be an option, but "nobody", "just me from other devices" or "members of organization foo with role bar or baz" should be options too.
If you also gave everybody a DNS hostname, like machine_name.username.internal_domain and implemented rev DNS properly, this would also give you extremely-secure, unfishable, zero-click user authentication for participating apps, with no need to implement signup forms, accounts, email verification and all that junk.
This relies on the assumption that most connections could bypass NATs (like how Tailscale does it essentially), and some users on uncapped connections would function as relays when their connections weren't fully saturated. You could even implement a "banwidth pooling" system, where users would default to their / their friends' / their companyz' devices first, but could also buy (or perhaps even sell) bandwidth from the "global pool".
THe relays would only be shifting end-to-end encrypted UDP packets between participating users, so there shouldn't be any concerns from either a security or abuse-prevention perspective; marketing this would def be a problem though.
I don't know nearly enough about networking to implement something like this myself, but I really think it should be ppossible, and GOd do I wish this existed.

@pgronkievitz This still needs me to configure peerings though, right?
I can't just connect to it on my shitty network, have Joe Shmoe from Arkansas connect to it on his shitty home network, grant access to service foo to Joe Shmoe and have it work out of the box, right?
If one of you have publicly accessable IP and can open a port then Yggdrasil would make a direct connection. When both of you are behing behind CGNAT or strict firewall then there is a need for some third public peer.
In both cases, you end up with bidirectional tunnel and reachable Yggdrasil's IPs to each other.

Can you please tell me why do we keep subsidizing Elon Musk and his different ventures ? His annual income is over 54 billions. 🤷♂️🤔
Stop using our tax money to subsidize this clown!
Šel jsem se svým 70.letým otcem do nákupního střediska koupit nové
boty.
Z běhání po obchodě jsme vyhladověli, tak jsme se rozhodli někam jít najíst.
V lokále jsem zpozoroval, že otec civí na vedle sedící dívku.
Měla vysoko natupírovaného kohouta, nabarveného do
zelena, oranžova,červena a modra.
Otec od ní nemohl odtrhnout oči. Dívka zpozorovala, že
kdykoliv k němu obrátila oči, že na ni civí. Když už toho měla dost tak se ho
sarkasticky zeptala: "Co máš za problém dědo, tys v životě neudělal nic
divokýho!?"
Protože otce znám, tak jsem raději rychle polkl to, co jsem
měl v puse, aby mi při jeho odpovědi nezaskočilo.
Otec s důstojným klidem a bez mrknutí oka povídá:
"Jedenkrát jsem si vzal drogu a přefiknul jsem páva. A teď přemýšlím, jestli ty
nejsi ten výsledek".
ps. Když někdo nechápe #punk, je to #Sranda ?
