Hah not at all! I need to remind myself to hydrate and fuel constantly if I'm doing any sort of exercise.

If you're exercising and you drink because you're thirsty, you probably waited too long to hydrate.

This type of thing is the nominal purpose of credit scores, I believe. (Whether they're implemented effectively is another story...)

Note re: mustard. It is not just an "other flavor," it is also an emulsifier!

It took me a while before I learned this. Even if you're not going for a mustardy flavor, a little mustard goes a long way in keeping the oil and vinegar from separating. Definitely recommend using some with basically every dressing you make.

Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.

I think the same is true for a lot of folks and self hosting. Sure, having data in our own hands is great, and yes avoiding vendor lock-in is nice. But at the end of the day, it's nice to have computers seem "fun" again.

At least, that's my perspective.

That's what I heard about Chevy's, too.

What strings are you referencing here? Is the financial counseling mandatory?

Not everyone is eligible for this, but that's kind of a different issue.

In parts of California you are allowed to ride on the freeway shoulder. AFAIK it's only legal when there is no reasonable alternative.

I've done it a few times


it's not ideal, but it's not horrible, mostly because you don't cross on/off ramps (it's just from one exit to the next). In my case I did it because the multi-use path I was planning on using was temporarily closed.

I have been on a different ride where I crossed on/off ramps (I should have taken a different route!), and that really sucked.

Only tangentially related, but it's often accepted that there is no Nobel prize in economics. There is a Nobel memorial prize in economics (link), but as it was set up after Nobel's death it is in a slightly different category.

Hobby 1: Ballroom dancing

No I'm pretty sure Strictly Ballroom is a completely accurate portrayal of ballroom dancing.
