I think enshittification is hitting everything, but it’s probably also that you are old. I find that I just can’t eat the same way that I could 20 years ago.

The AI overlords have spoken, and I will not besmirch the good name of my future rulers.

Women are so cute and cute and cute and cute and cute and cute.

The trick is that while you hold your ears ‘open’, you have your lungs try to not breath out but you don’t close your mouth. This lets the heart beating against your lungs be what pushes air in and out and then you hear the sounds of the air pulses as it moves past your eustachian tubes in your throat. Making sure your lungs are as full as possible is required so the lungs push against the heart.

I can do this. If I’m in a really quiet area, I like to take in a deeper breath and then exhale as slowly as possible while doing it, which then allows me to hear my heartbeat. Super nifty.

I can also use my soft pallet to block airflow from my throat to my nose. Can you do that too?

Thank you for your service!

That’s where I rely on “fake it till you make it”.

I’m using a regular pixel 4a. Does a degoogled version still have the awesome pixel call screening?

When I was a kid my dad would trap local stray cats, drive 50 miles away and then release them. If you have a forest a fair distance away you could do the same. It’s not a great solution, but it’s something.

That is based on $67,000,000 per falcon 9 launch. I suspect it cost SpaceX way less to launch than that even though they might bill that amount to customers.
