It's very unlikely that this would collapse due to being struck by a 20,000 ton shipping vessel tho.

I'm a geologist and will save you some googling: it probably looks like a very large phallic obiect forcing itself into one phat rock formation.

Not even just changed, they removed basic functionality. For example - you cannot put the task bar to the side of your screen any longer. Never mind the fact that monitors are widescreen and having it on the side gives you more screen real estate. Never mind the fact that damn near every application has interaction at the bottom of the screen and it's handy to be able to work freely without accidentally clicking something you didn't mean to. Never mind that it's been an option since windows 98. They just got rid of it. Only the bottom from now on.

The best part is that their previous sand dune was removed by storms and high tides in 2022, so their solution was to build another sand dune, which took a year, and was immediately removed by storms and high tides.

You can't make this shit up.

Invest in raw denim. Jeans you love that change and become unique to you the longer you wear then, which will be years!

Sailing has honestly never been easier. Welcome back to the seas!

Oh nice thanks for that. So should I not worry as much about seeding the private trackers?

Yo! What exactly is different about private trackers? Like how does that help? Im lucky enough to have one but due to the seed ratio rules, I find myself downloading from my usual sites more frequently because I worry about seeding indefinitely.

Yo! What's a proper VPN these days? It seems like all the ones I used to trust went to shit.

Use a calorie counting app like lose it. Log everything you eat. It's very tedious at first but pretty soon you get really good at judging how many calories are in things. Don't stop logging! Track your weight. When you hit plateaus zoom out on the time scale and look at your trend line going down and feel good about yourself.

The trick is being honest with yourself. There are no free calories. Those 2-3 little cookies you had at work? They count. The extra scoop of rice? That counts. Most people have no concept of how many excess calories they're really taking in.

Over COVID lockdown my wife and I both gained 10-15 pounds and I was already a good 20 pounds over where I wanted to be. We both started this and never stopped. I lost 40 pounds in about 9 months (230 to 185) , she lost 20, 155 to 134, and we've both kept it off for the last three years. We log all our meals and we exercise. Exercise becomes rewarding because burning extra means you can cheat! Did you bike twenty miles today? HAVE YOU A FUCKIN DONUT THEN!

Seems weird to me in a day and age where switching apps is literally just a swipe of a finger. People will jump from Instagram to tik tok to texting to emailing to Whatsapp without thinking about it at all, but a podcast app is a hurdle they don't want to deal with. Even more bizarre because until very recently it was always like that, for the entire history of podcasts. It's a shame too because podcast apps are so intuitive these days. Listening to podcasts on Spotify feels clunky by comparison.

To each their own I guess, but I personally just don't understand it.

Makes a lot more sense. I don't listen to very many but when I do I use an app that isn't Spotify. I don't mind fast forwarding the commercials in the app. I have no desire to have Spotify try and algorithm my podcast tastes, especially not on top of injecting extra ads into them
