  • Did something somewhat similar. Got drunk after final exams. We decided we were special agents and were rolling over car hoods/bonnets (like they do in chases). There was a van (think A-Team), and since it doesn’t have much of a hood, I rolled off the roof instead.

    Pretty sure I cracked or broke a rib (there was literally a loud pop). Couldn’t sit up, cough, sneeze, or breathe deeply for about 2 weeks without intense pain. I never went to doctor though because I thought, “well, it’s a rib, what are they gonna do? Put a cast around my whole body?”

    Now I have discomfort every day, and pain between 2-3/10 after any sports. Tough when your youth idiocy catches up with you! Felt so invincible back then.










  • This restaurant in Argentina. Didn’t even go there for the burger. Wasn’t sure what to get on the menu. Place was on the “at least where a collar” type with low lighting and cocktails and all that. Type of place you’d usually eat with fork and knife.

    Anyways, I saw they had a burger on the menu and the ingredients just sounded good. Nothing far out there or anything, but it gave me the craving. When it finally came out, the first bite was so. Fucking. Good. Meat in general has a very high floor in Argentina, but that burger was something else. My wife agrees that was the best burger we’ve ever tried as well.

    We went back to Argentina about a year after we had had that burger. About a month in, I surprised my wife with a reservation at the restaurant. We had been talking about getting that burger again for weeks before coming to Argentina. We get to the place, order a drink, and pick up the menu. For about 2 minutes the table was silent. Then we started looking at each other quizzically. “Do you see the burger?”, I asked. She shakes her head. We signal to the waiter that we have a Q. He comes over and we ask him about the burger. “Ah, I’m sorry, the chef took it off the menu a couple of months ago. I guess not enough people were ordering it.”. Man, both our hearts sank.

    TLDR; life is unfair. The best burgers can only be eaten once.





  • Last time I checked Bitwarden, it didn’t have a way of recognising when password is changed for an existing account (to prompt you to update saved pw); is that still the case?

    Also, would you happen to know if Bitwarden allows you to setup another user to have emergency access? As in, they could request access to your account and if you don’t deny within X days, they get access? (Digital will type of deal)




  • The 2 main things I use are:

    1. White noise machine (I used to use an app but now have a dedicated device).
    2. Note-taking app on phone

    The white noise machine drowns out any other noise, and even helps me drown out my own thoughts. I try to use grey-noise specifically when available.

    The note-taking app is so that if I suddenly think about something, I can write it down and worry about it the next day. If I don’t do that, I spend too much time trying to set a mental reminder to do xyz.

    Ideally, I would love to get into a habit of “brain dumping” before going to sleep, but I haven’t been able to stick the routine.
