  • Reading itself isn’t what’s important, it’s mental stimulation that is. And more importantly stimulating different parts of the brain.

    It’s important if you want to understand how the world works on a deeper level. There’s a reason that all scientific research is primarily presented in the written form.

    Although I assume OP is talking about fiction which is a different matter.



  • Gadget bridge doesn’t really work for any “new” (i might be wrong here) devices.

    Most newer Garmin devices should work since 0.82 (and earlier with nightly). It’s not feature complete compared to using Gadget Connect but should be enough for most use cases, unless you really care about the social/awards aspect and some of the deeper metrics (although if you’re handy with SQL you can handle that yourself).

    Not being able to set an event date and have “daily suggested workouts” follow that is my only annoyance, although I’ve been happy just using the defaults for now.











  • I hate Vance and he’d be a terrible President, but he also was firmly anti-Trump before, and only became a Trump sycophant for political reasons.

    He’s Peter Thiel’s property, so he’ll do whatever he tells him to do. And Thiel is a weird, evil and intelligent man. A Vance presidency would probably be less insane and more calculating (for better and for worse) than Trump at least.


  • but I am just no sure if JD wouldn’t make everything worse if he got hold of the reins?

    Honestly, it feels like the only hope is that things get bad enough for enough Trump supporters (and non-voters) to wake up to reality. And since Vance himself doesn’t seem to have the moron-whisperer charisma that Trump has, they may be more willing to turn on him.
