You know you’re not in your 20s anymore when finishing a sporting event without a new injury feels like a win, no matter what the score was! (We lost by one goal in overtime, but my ankles held-up OK without getting re-sprained)

The USA healthcare and health insurance industrial complex is truly a hellscape of greed and structural sin.
Parents! We’ve got 3yo, 5yo, and 7yo. I’m intrigued by “Mindset Decks” to help teach/cue things like grit, emotional intelligence, and good manners. Anyone out there used Mindset Decks? Thoughts? Any other cue/reminder tools you’ve found helpful in the day-to-day of parenting?
They said you sound like an owl.
Installing Ubuntu 26.04 LTS on my 2016 MacBook Pro (13,1 without a Touch Bar). Looks like Obsidian, VS Code, and Warp Terminal shouldn’t be a problem. But I’ll miss Drafts very much on that machine. Any recommended Linux alternatives for Drafts?
My toxic trait is that it really, really bugs me that my wife is faster than I am.
Which RSS feeds out there are you particularly glad you’re subscribed to?
“America Reads the Bible”? Oh really? Is she taking care of the widow, orphan, and immigrant yet?
Am I still a priest?
I left the ACNA in 2023. Just received my Letters Dimissory. But I still can’t decide if ordination conferred something real and permanent, or if it was only ever a jurisdictional authorization.
What say you?
Me: “I’m frustrated with my body. I finally get my motivation worked-out and start running regularly again, then I get shin splints and multiple weeks of head colds in a row.”
My body: “In that case, best I can do is…appendicitis.” 🤷♂️🦠
Question for the crowd: anyone else get vasovagal around procedures being done to them, but not at the sight of blood or watching others get stuck? Shots are fine if I look away. Getting blood drawn or an IV placed is the worst. Even thinking about a procedure (especially anything near the groin, hypothetically speaking) makes me go cold and clammy. Curious how common this specific combination is.
I’ve got appendicitis and I’m stuck at home waiting to see if antibiotics will do the trick so I don’t have to get an appendectomy. Ask me anything!
Can someone please reply to this post if/when you see it? Trying to see if replies eventually make it back to my main website or not.
Having a bunch of fun improving my Drafts workflows with the help of both Claude and Codex!
