ah yes, uprisings famously never happen after many people died. They only ever happen when the population is prospering.

What if the earth opened up near him and a red scaly claw grabbed him to drag him down with evil laughter?

Covid was among the top 10 causes of death for 2024.

Modern money is backed by the economic power of the state issuing it, so its workers, infrastructure, education, soft and hard power. Those are definitely real things with real value.

I’m tracking progress by trying on various old pants that have stopped fitting me one after another in the past, and the waistline is shrinking fast.
I eat on a regular schedule, but I’m also at a big caloric deficit. There’s no way to do that without getting hungry.
“Starvation mode” is a myth, by the way. Or rather, your body enters it whenever you’re losing weight. But it can’t sustain its weight when you stay active and eating little.
Don’t worry, as long as I can ride my bicycle for hours on end, concentrate at my job, and stay healthy, I know I’m doing fine. I’ll reconsider my approach when I’m starting to feel weak, or getting brain fog.

I’ve switched to “barefoot” shoes (which should just be called “shoes that fit human feet” IMO), and now I get multiple years of daily use out of one pair.

From over here in Europe, I’m just hoping that the US government disintegrates entirely from internal strife, before they consolidate into a unified force that decides colonization was a great idea, but let’s UNO reverse it.

My guess is, like 90% of businesses, they have multiple backups, set up monitoring for when a backup job fails, store them on redundant disks in different locations, dutifully write them on tape too, in addition to a copy in cloud storage, and have never ever tested restoring one.
