Today I was putting together a bit of self-assemble storage. In the reviews, people said it was really hard to snap together. Seemed quite easy to me, though.
Then I realized, things aren’t so difficult when you’re 2-3x as strong as the average person.
Fuck I love being strong again. Being weak sucks and is terrible.
Guys, whats the weirdest thing a girl has said to you thinking it was a compliment.
“You’re pretty cool even though everyone hates you.”
THANKS RACHEL. (This was in early high school and we were assigned as lab partners.)
Census Bureau is switching to a chained price index for its household income measures, a good idea which will probably spawn some conspiratorial takes.https://t.co/9Fchkmi8Ur pic.twitter.com/NJe0hJkFbt

Ya fuckin’ nitwit, this will conceal actual inflation. Clown ass motherfucker.
Chained CPI does represent what consumers actually buy. But just because prices increase so much that someone can only afford ramen and unbuttered toast is a bad representation of anything at all useful. It thus misrepresents inflation enormously and is a terrible measure for understanding what’s actually happening in the economy.
If there were a World Dipshit Competition, it’d be a tight race between Yglesias and Welsh. I really am not sure who would win. Nor do I care, really.
Being overweight or having excess body fat is a strong predictor of reduced cognitive function, according to new research published in The Lancet.

Wonder why that is? Heh.
This does tend to suggest a coordinated strategy of dam destruction and defensive flooding, rather as the Nazis did in north-eastern France, Belgium and the Netherlands in 1944-45. https://t.co/k8a5fQIQfy

My thoughts too. Very similar. It’s what you do when you’re losing, and badly. (Or in Ian Welsh’s mind, what you do when you’re secretly winning I guess.)
First Impressions of Vision Pro and VisionOS.
People are discounting this just like they did the iPod, iMac and iPhone but I think it’s going to be pretty big and change quite a lot in the tech world.
