TIL that twice a year Hawaii looks badly rendered for astrophysical reasons.

Is red light therapy a meme? It has been given non-stop praise from the alt-medicine community and being treated like a cure-all, and I'm now seeing red-light therapy products at BestBuy of all places.

Looks like Trump might change the DOD back to the “Department of War.” Sure, let’s stop pretending that maintaining a global US military empire is “defense.” Great idea! We all know it’s not.

Tips to small business owners:

Use something other than Facebook or Instagram for your primary online presence. Invest in a website - it doesn't need to be fancy -

The message someone hears when they call your business number should be easy to understand and include the business name, not "Hi this is X, please leave a message".

Alright Fedi. This is going to be my more far fetched question as of yet.

Do any of you happens to have, lying in a box somewhere, a Photo CD? And if so, would you be willing to part with it?

Just to clear any possible confusion, I’m specifically looking for a disc in the Photo CD format, not a CD-R on which pictures have been stored as files. Here is the article on the subject: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_CD.

Boosts are appreciated, as my search has not been fruitful this far.

This is a great blog post
The ROI of exercise

That means that over a lifetime, one full year of exercise leads to 10 full years of extra life. That's a 1:10 return on investment! So even without any of the additional benefits (which I'll get into later), this is still one of the best investments you can make

I think if people want to form covenant communities, that's cool and they should have that right - but then those communities will probably want a hard border, if for no other reason because they don't want burglars to enter.

I think the coolest possible future would be a world of hundreds of thousands of Lichtenstein-sized kingdoms, each one run in a different way. Then people can decide where they want to live from amongst the kingdoms which are willing to accept them - kind of like joining Fedi instances.

The more I look into the SovCit movement, the more apparent it becomes that it's just some fed created psyop made to get libertarians, anarchists, secessionists, and any other critics of government overreach to commit felonies out in the open and in the dumbest of ways.

Don't like license plate laws? Just use this exemption plate that has been shown multiple times not to work. Don't like paying taxes even though your boss pays you in government-traceable bank deposits, just use this legalese that even if true, won't work because of the rigged judicial system.

It's literally just the exact opposite of QAnon. Where QAnon got people to do nothing, SovCit gets people arrested. Granted, some SovCits actually won court cases, but those were because of technicalities and those are extremely rare cases. Like I said, even if they are right about US history and law, they will never get their way due to the rigged judicial system (they never select intelligent juries), which is why I think the feds created the movement to bait political dissidents into the slammer.

Sucks the Turok reboot wasn't well liked or received. I think they really need to revive the franchise and go back to the classic boomer shooter roots.

The results were more or less what I was expecting. It looks like people are a lot more optimistic about it than a few years ago, judging from the people who voted option 2, 3, and 5.

I don't know. Sometimes, it does feel like it's less likely to happen, that it would be half-assed, or that it will happen but collapse. However, it also feels like they are just going to rebrand it to make it appeal more to conservatives and some libertarians.

There are also some things that I can't see happening in five years. I get that home ownership is declining, but I can't see people not even owning the clothes they wear by 2030, and there is no way you are going to condition people to accept a new social contract that says something like that within five years. Everyone has cherished possessions that they even value over their own friends. You have a better chance at getting Americans to give up their guns.
