Destressing Tips,
The past few weeks/months/year has been rather stressful.
I have a few things I do to destress and clear my mind that I'd like to share. Perhaps one or more of these might be useful?
1) Plenty of Water, a hydrated body/hydrated mind.

The Honorable @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
Millions of fake IDs were manufactured by an Evil Nation. Not only were these IDs used to Steal Votes and dilute We the People's voice; they were used to Steal North of $10 Billion dollars in #COVID Virus relief. I belief this stolen

money (no evidence as of yet) was possibly used to finance Domestic Terrorism that we all witnessed across our Nation. This Act of War on US soil was perpetrated by a foreign power and Corrupt Compromised Politicians (the other #CCP) did nothing to prevent this as saving their

own corrupt self from embarrassment and jail time was more important than the safety of the communities they never really represented. Please sign an EO preventing any further monies on subsequent #COVID virus checks being sent to any one on US soil that didn't pay at least the

amount of the check in US Federal Taxes. For Legal American citizens that did not pay taxes but are lawfully entitled to that aid, perhaps a portion of our 18 million veterans would help deliver checks to those Americans after they provide proof they are in fact Americans.

#Fractals #Mandelbrot. Powerful insights. Using some of the concepts of that framework. The Micro and the Macro (aggregation of Micros); imagine if you will, we as a Species wanted to populate other planets. How would we do it? What structure, design makes most sense?

We might want incorporate our Creation in a manner similar to how we arrived at said new planet. Largest cell in humans is Female Egg. Smallest cell is male sperm. The big bang in "Creation of life" is a fusion of those two. Imagine an asteroid that carried our #DNA (it is sperm)

And hit the proverbial Egg (another planet) to seed life. Our bodies rebuild every part of themselves every 7 years. All of it, no single cell is supposedly left from previous build. Imagine if you will the 3 billion plus lines of code in every one of our living cells containing

Not only all the knowledge of our species but the assembly blocks to create an organic organism that had a brain to interpret the very material in our DNA? Furthermore, imagine if we had embedded antennas to share knowledge across time and space (ants and bees come to mind).

As we go through life we encode, capture these experiences and pass them, as they move from short term memory to long term memory via the rebuilding process of every cell in our body overtime. For years, people have talked about us evolving from animals, what if every plant and

Patriots,
I'm hearing from multiple, credible sources about this Apple Update. I put out a request for information from fellow Patriots and received a response from someone in either France or Switzerland. They wrote a 6 page document

@jeffreyatucker In the end, it is all a natural consequence of a very human foible, namely that we all do everything we can to blame anybody or anything else for our problems, if we can get away with it. It's the reason why rulers start wars to squelch domestic dissent - macro and micro the same

The very notion of the germ theory of disease revolves around this and while it is good for selling medical interventions, treatments and pharmaceuticals, it is no good for either personal health, or public health in any way. We need to start looking at health on a holistic level

More of a systems approach to health would get us to see that the whole instinct to stamp out viruses, like the very counter-factual notion of "zero Covid," and other nonsense, are driven by this need to blame somebody or something else for our problems, so we can have our cake

and eat it too, i.e. we can pass the blame to others and go and kill them, be they bugs or other people (lockdowns???). The results are disastrous for health on both a personal and a public level, and we continue on a path of assured self-destruction. But times are changing, now.

Lifestyle Medicine @aclifemed provides the new paradigm, more of a systems approach to health, in which personal responsibility for our habits comes first, starting with nutrition. Immune systems become depressed by fatigue, stress, inner conflict, malnutrition and so on. Change

So, here's my contrarian take on Why Trunk-Based Development Is Great But Probably Won't Work For You. Buckle up, it's a long one.

From time to time I talk about, or boost someone else's discussion of, "classical" continuous integration/trunk-based development/push-to-master/whatever. I do this because I've personally worked like this and I genuinely think it's a marvelous way to write software.

I've also, at this point in my career, failed—a bunch of times!—to bring this technique into practical use on the teams and organizations I've worked with. As a result, while I still do it myself, I don't focus as much on encouraging it in others.

The technoculture that's presently in vogue is what I think of as async/individual—optimize for the individual, performance-manage the individual, decouple the individual from others so they can be their best, most productive, most heroic selves.

This is in contrast to what I think of as sync/team—a culture that leans into interdependence and collaboration. If you've never worked on a team that collaborates very closely every day for months or years on end (and likes it) you've likely not experienced a team like this.

1/ All I keep thinking about in this moment are all the horrible things that Rush Limbaugh did and said. Just flashes of them.

Like how following Trayvon Martin's death, he tried to convince people it was okay to say "n word" now as long as you ended with an "a" (and said it).

2/ Or how, one of his "undeniable truths" was that "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of pop culture."

3/ Or how if a prominent woman would publicly defend another woman, he would refer to it as "solidarity of the vaginas."

4/ How he absolutely hated Michelle Obama...and used to refer to has as "moo-chelle." He really liked this because it both attacked her for mooching off system as he claimed and because it was his way of calling her a cow (he thought she was fat).

5/ He had this one song called "Barack the Magic Negro." The lyrics were even more racist than the name. And he played it all the time. He was still playing that song during his show a few months ago.
