Definitely include a graph of shareholder value overlayed on top.
Sarcasm aside, maybe we should have a graph that also shows:
- average hours worked a year
- average number of sunsets a person sees before they die
- average hours spent with loved ones per year
- average rent
- average hours worked to pay for groceries
- average hours spent doomscrolling on social media
- average student loan debt payments
- suicide rate
- average zoom calls a year
- happiness
And see that by basically all metrics we are working more, paid less, more depressed, more stressed, and unhappy.
CrossFit, running club, November project, hiking club, board game clubs, DND clubs, Meetup.com events. Coed sports leagues like: disc golf, infinite Frisbee, soccer.
There’s also things like live figure drawing, music jam clubs, acting in local plays.
Seems like it increases cancer risk, but it’s the cheapest way we have to sanitize water so

I’m putting the water in glass containers, so no need to worry about it leeching materials. Also, I am positive I get all the micronutrients (the paper your cited refers to magnesium and iron) I need from vegetables, without needing to resort to tap water that contains high levels of microplastics. I also brush my teeth with floride, so no need to worry about dental caries.
Bidet attachment for a toilet. You can get them cheap, or spend a bit more for heated seats, warmed water, fans for drying, etc. Best bathroom decision ever.
Countertop electric water distiller. For a reasonable price you can get a countertop water distiller that runs a gallon for like $0.15. No more microplastics, chlorine, ammonia, lead, or facial matter in your drinking water! Tastes SO GOOD, nothing like the plastic filled distilled water from the store, blech. Every time we make a batch, we’ll smell the sticky residue left in the heating chamber and gag. It is nasty stuff. In our tap water, gross. Clean water for me please! Makes our coffee, tea, and kumbucha taste a lot better too.
Getting into a healthy BMI and daily exercise is pretty epic too. You’ll just feel better every day.
As climate change gets worse, having resilience like stored food and water will be helpful to deal with more frequent natural disasters. No sense bothering with fancy meal packets, a couple dozen big cans of dried beans will go a long way if there’s a shelter in place order.
From 2013 to 2017 I lost 60 pounds and I’ve kept it off since.
I tried everything to lose that fat.
I’ve tried at different times: keto, calorie counting, intermittent fasting, low fat, low carb, Soylent, cutting alcohol, high fiber, if it fits your macros, power lifting, CrossFit, running, vegan, vegetarian, carnivore, and Renaissance periodization.
What’s actually worked consistently for losing and keeping it off? Simple. Intermittent fasting 20/4 with low carb during the week, free cheat weekends, and no alcohol ever. With that protocol I can control my weight to the pound, consistently, and I’ve held it there for over 5 years.
It’s such a great feeling to be totally in control of it.
8·1 year agoI loved this book as a kid. The stories were just so creepy and weird
Just got back from Boulder, did South Boulder Peak which was 8549’. The climb to Bear Peak just below South Boulder was the best part, it was so steep, we climbed 3000’ in two miles.
Here’s a cool pic from the top
I listened to it on a long drive recently, and really enjoyed the audiobook version. The voice actor did a good job, and I liked the chords with the alien voice. The last 20% we were listening on the edge of our seats.
And then, a few weeks later, it’s… fine. I like to call books like this “Good Time Fun”. It probably won’t be remembered in 100 years like other more timeless works, but it’s a heck of a lot of fun if you just go along for the ride.
Another commenter suggested Young Adult, and that’s exactly what it feels like. There’s challenges, strong emotions, a bit of a a twist or two (pretty easy to see coming), clever creativity, Science To The Rescue, and Friendship Conquers Everything! You know, Good Time Fun!
Well done! However that green monster really gives me vibes like this fish
Let’s be real, Witcher 3 is just a Gwent launcher.
Also I’ve definitely played more Pazaak than KOTOR.
