  • Really hoping I don’t dox myself with this…

    I (tried to) remove all the local news sites, but this gives me a pretty decent overview of things I’m interested in, without being overwhelming. You should be able to find some local news sources, and add their LOCAL only feed, so you don’t get hammered with national and international news.

  • Find one or two sites you regularly like from your usual sources. Then when THOSE sources link to another source, FOLLOW that link. If that site has good content, add it to your list.

    It doesn’t take long to build a solid RSS feed, just need to spend a little time curating it. The key is to pay attention to who is providing the info.

    Don’t like the direction a site is going, remove it from your feed.

    If you see that one source is commonly the original source for information, or reporting make sure you do what you can to support it. Do they have a patreon? Can you share it out to your other sources?

    Also, make sure you’re not falling into a bubble, follow national and international news sources.

    Sure, but that just pushes back the timeline some. Even with immortality, invulnerability, and teleportation, you’re still going to live forever floating in the void of space. There just isn’t going to be anywhere to teleport TO after a few trillion years.

    Immortality is fine, until you end up stuck somewhere forever.

    It’s inevitable, it might be 10 years from now you’ll get stuck under a mudslide and buried forever, but conscious.

    In a billion years, you’ll get stuck inside the expanding sun forever.

    In a few trillion years you’ll get stuck floating in the void of space forever as the universe expanded into nothingness.

    Immortality needs some sort of way out, or else you’ll eventually end up suffering forever (what’s a trillion years to someone who will live for eternity?)





  • Software is free if you aren’t using it for commercial use. Fusion 360, onshape, etc. are all free for personal use. And that’s assuming someone didn’t make it already and share it free.

    Filament costs $17 for 1kg of perfectly fine plastic. You’d probably use 100g at most for this, so $1.70.

    A Bambu A1 mini is $200, and is a modern, high quality printer that would be fine for this project.

    So you only need like a half dozen of these projects to come out ahead.
