Kongs are basically indestructible from what I’ve seen. We used to have a pittie with separation anxiety and a kong frozen full of peanut butter was good for hours.

Himalayan yak cheese/milk chew things - really durable, moreso than some of the bones we get. Our dog really isn’t into antlers, but my theory is that she likes the yak chews because they have an intrinsic flavor, and do actually wear down and give eventually. The only downside is that she likes to leave them in main walkways on light flooring, so I’m pretty sure I’m gonna die tripping over one, one day.

We also used to get chew rolls made from rawhide-alternative in bulk from Costco. They lasted a while, but we stopped getting them once we found the yak stuff, they get real gross.

Frankly, I’d kill for the Dems to pour money and resources into down ballot races.

Works great for db:seed, too

If you’re in RoR land, there’s always the Faker gem to get you started. Or keep it simple - find lists of names on Wikipedia or something, shuffle and combine.

Honestly, along those lines, I don’t think we (Americans) will get anything until we get rid of the electoral college and the Senate.

Profit? Or exploit?

I feel a repressed memory or two stirring 😐

Top left, gorgeous.

Heavy lifting is the only thing that’s stuck for the way my brain works. I used a program called 5x5:

• only 5 different lifts to learn, each full body so there’s no fiddly minmaxing
• more or less timeboxed. 5 sets of 5 reps 3 times with about a minute between each rep and set. To improve, you add more weight, not spend more time
• consistent, once you get the routine down, and you know roughly how long it’ll take, you can just let your body take over, coast on muscle memory and motor neurons, zone back in in an hour when you’re done
• numeric satisfaction as your weights increase in fixed increments.
• immediate gratification because functional strength is neat and comes on surprisingly fast

Downside: So hungry, all the time.

It’s been a few years since I’ve been active. I used to live in an apartment directly above a gym. Now I live in the boonies and need to convert my carport into a garage before I can buy a weight set.

I’ve seen some active instances die due to admin neglect (not paying the bills, for instance), and I’ve wondered how those communities have fared since, since they’d have to start over elsewhere, and without all the content and history from their origin server. Same goes with user accounts too.

Just read a thing about how persistent usernames may work better than actual ID. Of course, I don’t have a link, and I’m not finding anything on Google right now, but as someone who uses the same handle across multiple services, which makes my activity traceable, but not necessarily to my real identity, I definitely think there’s something to that.

I would love to see the test suite

Voyager was a bit jank last time I used it, I’ll give it another go

Liftoff was the closest thing I could find to reddit is fun, in terms of muscle memory, hopefully I find a replacement

Soop coop

Depends on how they pronounce it

Questionable! There was the whole thing when Jessica Walter spoke out about Jeffery Tambor that was very disappointing.

This thread is really alarming if you’re like me and got Patrick Bateman confused with Jason Bateman
