Over about a decade: Win7 -> Mint -> Manjaro -> Mint -> Endeavour

Eyeing Nix atm, looks cute, might hop later

You mean Audacious, right?

zOMG!!

Interesting. What did you listen to in your 30’s? Do you remember it as vividly as you do the music you listened to in your teenage years? Can you sing along the same way? How will the music you listen to now compare when you’re in your 50’s?

Not saying the music is objectively better or suitable for all points in life. Just pointing to studies saying teenagers have a huge emotional response to music. IIRC there have been studies showing dementia patients kind of wake up when you start playing music they listened to in their teens.

It’s “better = more suitable here and now” vs “better = more impactful” I guess.

The best songs we’ve ever heard are the ones we listened to as teenagers. You’ll never get a dopamine rush like that again.

Brain imaging studies show that our favorite songs stimulate the brain’s pleasure circuit, which releases an influx of dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and other neurochemicals that make us feel good. The more we like a song, the more we get treated to neurochemical bliss, flooding our brains with some of the same neurotransmitters that cocaine chases after.

Music lights these sparks of neural activity in everybody. But in young people, the spark turns into a fireworks show. Between the ages of 12 and 22, our brains undergo rapid neurological development—and the music we love during that decade seems to get wired into our lobes for good.

“You won’t age, everything freezes” implies my body (and brain) won’t change. That is, I won’t be able to form memories. So even if I experience it all “with all my senses”, it will only be for that exact moment and then it will be gone.

Like blinking and nothing has changed. You don’t remember any of it. It’s a bargain if you ask me.

My very first was my dad showing me his ICQ convos and letting me say hi to one of his friends, the client going OH-OH every now and then. Late 90’s.

Reddit exodus last year. I like it here, it’s like old Reddit.

The year is 2026. The system requirements for Windows 12, shutting out 98% of the all current PCs in use, are set in place to manage Windows 12’s multiple new Outlook versions.

Sure. For instance, Andras Arato (“Hide the Pain Harold”) regurarly interacts with his fans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3WnvDtDD2M

Every woman should empty her menstrual cup into a test tube and mail it in.

OP means prefixes, like 1000°C = 1 k°C

Yes. But on the other hand, so is meth.

…So if you use your hands to put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding, you won’t get an ambulance?

I place them in the same order the table should be made (clockwise order): forks, spoons, knives.

Moving the spoons one step sounds reasonable I guess but I’d never switch places of the forks and the knives. If the order was knives, forks I’d have to switch hands to grab them and that thought bothers me more than I thought it would. TIL this is a pet peeve of mine

The ones that affected my life the most are probably Chuck Palahniuk’s books. I read them as a teenager.

☝️ This comment changed my life 🙏🙏🙌

Also: beating the potatoes with an electric mixer because you’re too lazy to mash them will produce a glue-like consistency. Don’t do that.
