    Why do we need to try anything? This comes down to individualism versus collectivism. Besides, the logical consequence of the portion of my comment you highlighted is that the majo…

    Which is no surprise to anybody with common sense, the data for discontinuing GLP-1s show exactly the intuitive outcome. Zero diet change, zero habit change for the vast majority o…

    My work WiFi blocked traffic to port 51820, the default WireGuard port. I was wondering why my VPN started failing to handshake one day. I changed my ports to 51821 that night and …

    The technology-as-entertainment approach is poison. Reddit is the worst of it; even the tech addicts that see themselves as intellectuals mostly can’t be bothered to read. The (int…
