The libertarian solution is to not put food in your mouth that you don't want there
Nice of you to admit you lack the self-control to do this

> Anonymity in banking is a well-known concept. If I transfer money
from my numbered swiss bank account to your numbered swiss bank account, nobody knows anything, except who the bank is. And I don't see Switzerland giving up their enviable position in the international banking community willingly. All we need to do is convince a swiss bank to do some digital cash banking. Easier said than done. (1992)

Sometimes I wonder to myself, “What didn’t we just modernize finger protocol to make an alternative to Twitter?”

Decided to get rid of the penalty of taking half of your coins when you die. I realized that this game is brutally difficult and losing money on top of your equipment just seemed way too harsh, so I decided to just have it reset your equipment to level 1 and leave it at that.

The Shocking Baking Soda Secret to Beating Colds and Flu Fast!
2 February 2025
The Shocking Baking Soda Secret to Beating Colds and Flu Fast!
When you’re battling a cold or flu, finding natural, accessible remedies can make a significant difference in your recovery. One such unexpected hero might already be sitting in your kitchen pantry: baking soda. This humble household ingredient offers more than just baking potential—it can be a powerful ally in fighting off those pesky viral infections.
Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, is a white, powdery substance with remarkable health properties. Its chemical composition allows it to perform multiple functions in the human body, making it far more versatile than most people realize.
Chemical Composition and Health Benefits
Baking soda is an alkaline substance with a pH level that can help balance the body’s acid-base chemistry. This unique property enables it to:
Neutralize excess acid in the body
Support immune system function
Create an inhospitable environment for harmful microorganisms
How Baking Soda Combats Colds and Flu
The mechanism behind baking soda’s effectiveness against viral infections is rooted in its alkalizing properties. When you’re sick, your body tends to become more acidic. Baking soda helps counteract this by:
Raising the body’s pH levels
Potentially inhibiting viral replication
Supporting overall immune system response
Scientific Insights
While more research is needed, preliminary studies suggest that baking soda can help reduce inflammation and support the body’s natural defense mechanisms. Its ability to create an alkaline environment might make it more difficult for viruses to thrive.
Practical Methods for Using Baking Soda During Cold and Flu
The Baking Soda Wellness Drink
One of the most popular methods is preparing a simple baking soda drink. Here’s a recommended recipe:
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
8 ounces of water
Optional: A squeeze of fresh lemon
Mix these ingredients and drink once daily during illness. The alkaline solution can help support your body’s recovery process.
Nasal Irrigation Technique
Baking soda can also be used for nasal rinsing, which helps clear congestion and reduce viral load. Create a saline solution with baking soda to gently flush your nasal passages, providing relief from cold symptoms.
Important Precautions and Considerations
While baking soda offers potential health benefits, it’s crucial to use it responsibly. Individuals with heart conditions, kidney problems, or those on specific medications should consult their healthcare provider before using baking soda as a remedy.
Potential Side Effects
Excessive consumption can lead to:
Electrolyte imbalances
Increased sodium intake
Potential digestive issues
When to Seek Medical Attention
Remember that while natural remedies can support your recovery, they are not substitutes for professional medical treatment. If symptoms persist, worsen, or you develop a high fever, always consult a healthcare professional.
Complementary Approach
Consider baking soda as part of a holistic approach to managing colds and flu, which should include:
Adequate hydration
Proper rest
Balanced nutrition
Regular hand washing
By understanding and responsibly using baking soda, you can potentially support your body’s natural healing processes during cold and flu season. Always listen to your body and prioritize comprehensive healthcare strategies.

not saying i want it, but amused that it exists https://liliputing.com/ink-console-is-a-handheld-game-console-with-an-e-ink-display-and-a-focus-on-interactive-stories-crowdfunding/
I feel like my game is more or less complete. I just need to replace some of the sounds from BS Zelda with stock assets or sound effects of my own, as well as finally giving the main character an original sprite, and including item fanfares along with a sound effect when the player dies (it needs to be in-sync with the death animation).
Other than that. I really don't know if there is anything to add, outside of bug fixes, and maybe some balancing.

Make your own apple trees—Online grafting classes from Seed Savers Exchange (US)
SSE sends you the materials you need (rootstock, grafting knife, etc.), classes meet online
https://seedsavers.org/events/apple-grafting/
Grafting is a great skill to have. You have many more options for varieties, and it saves a lot of money versus nursery-grown trees. I graft 20-30 fruit trees every spring to distribute in my community.

One of the sad things that I've learned as I got older is that sometimes you have to sacrifice your goals and dreams for someone else's well-being. It won't happen to everybody, but it can happen to anybody. It could be something like taking care of a family member's children because the family member in question got killed in an accident. You could just have those kids be put up for adoption, but you would look like an asshole for doing it.
Nothing like this has happened to me, but it is something that I think about constantly. I always think of Ken Sugimori, the original Pokemon artist. He had to give up his lifelong dream of being a manga artist just so his friends can achieve their short-term goal of releasing the first generation Pokemon games on time, and that's an even less extreme example.
Sacrificing hopes and dreams is unfortunately a fact of some lives, but if it happens, it should be for someone close to you and the situation should be dire. Don't do it because your mom told you that you don't care about anyone else but yourself.

@jrychter The good news: In the Fediverse you don't need Link shorteners. https://fedi.tips/you-dont-need-link-shorteners-on-mastodon/
I discovered some wiki where you can create an article about yourself, your company, your project, etc. Basically it's Wikipedia but without the famous people only rule.
Might be useful for self-promotion if you consider yourself a micro-celebrity.
