It's much worse than that.

Governments, when faced with shortfalls in the government pension, will absolutely nationalize your 401k or IRA.

YOU, while attempting to responsibly take care of yourself, will absolutely be a piggybank to be raided. This has happened in numerous countries.

You wouldn't want to be selfish, would you? Sure, you forgo the midlife crisis sports car in favor of the Toyota Corolla you've been driving for years, but that's just tough. Shoulda lived for the now.

The crazy thing is that it is also equivalent to 33,000 0.1 pound bags of sugar.

Does it run slower? I'd expect dedicated hardware to do that encryption/decryption, in which case there should be no difference.

Why not charge $1 to apply ? Would drastically filter down spam applications.

_tailwind_ was the full circle. We had individual controls. We went to semantic controls, then back to individual controls a la tailwind.

The annual membership fee is about customer selection, for me.

What it buys for me is, "not Walmart People". Totally worth the investment.

Right, because if we can trust centralized control, we can't trust anything. Bring on the social credit!

I tried to use the Teton 65L to ruck. Just put a 50 lbs bag of wheat in there.

Shoulder strap failed on insert to main pack after six 1-hour rucks . Got a replacement. Zipper failed at bottom on another one.

Wanted to increase load to 100 lbs, but gonna have to go with a different brand.

In our household, the worst offenders of phones at the dinner tables are the grandparents.

It's as gross as 2 knuckles deep in your nose.

Zone 2 cardio is pretty doggone easy. I notice that if I hit 50 minutes of zone 2, then it is a huuuge stress reliever for me.

Right! We demand engineering perfection! No autopilot until we guarantee it will NEVER kill a soul. Don't worry that human drivers kill humans all the time. The rubric is not better than a human driver, it is an Angelic Driver. Perfection is what we demand.

I looove Rust for the backend.

I've supported backends in typescript, python, Java, and Rust.

Rust pages me the least at night. Sleep is beautiful.

eYrKEC2 — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 15:53:26 +0000

If the activities are distinct, dual boot. I do all my dev in linux and boot into windows for gaming.

Dev in linux is so much nicer for me than dev in Windows.

New comment by eYrKEC2 in "What has Docker become?"

eYrKEC2 — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 18:40:02 +0000

My one experience with dev containers put me off of dev containers... but standard `docker compose` is just great for me.

I worked at a company where we were trying to test code with our product and, for a time, everyone on the team was given a mandate to go out and find X number of open source projects to test against, every week.

Independently, every member of the (small) team settled on only trying to test repos where you could do:

        get clone repo && cd repo && docker compose up

Everything else was just a nightmare to boot up their environment in a reasonable amount of time.

Government Orthodoxy is what is taught to your children.

You won't believe or accept the new Orthodoxy.

But your children will.
