Some people had magazine racks next to the toilet. There was a whole Seinfeld episode about George taking a book into the bathroom.

Contact your local sailing club/yacht club. They often have classes and rental boats. Even if they don’t, you can sometimes find someone with a boat who is willing to teach a beginner.
“Sabotage” by the Beastie Boys is the same Ab7 chord for the whole song. Lock in that one chord shape and then all you have to do is get the strumming pattern. Put a capo across four strings on the first fret to make life even easier for your left hand.

This page says there are slight changes in the chorus. Just don’t strum the low E string for that part. If you or your friends are belting out the lyrics then it won’t matter anyway.
The intro and verse to “About A Girl” by Nirvana is also easy. You go back and forth between Em and G, and it’s a relaxed tempo. To play the chorus you have to learn a few bar chords. https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/nirvana/about-a-girl-tabs-36242
Yeah. I love water!
Swimming! The summer heat is here (it was 98F/36C today) and the neighborhood pool is open, so there is no better place to be in the afternoons.
Competing standards and clueless sellers are bad, and then the tire marketing makes things even worse.
Marketed for road? That’s 700c.
Marketed for mountain? That’s 29".
Marketed for ebikes? That’s 28".
But all three tires fit on the same 622mm diameter rim.
This is the answer right here. Hook up with a local sailing club and take classes. If you love it, make friends with other sailors and rent the club’s boats.
If there’s interesting stuff to see near shore, and the tides are manageable, then kayaking is also great. It’s cheap and easy to get into, and great exercise.
Homeopathics, though sometimes even a placebo can have beneficial effects.
I’m expecting ponies. So many ponies.
Their first customer is American Airlines. The airline is paying Graphyte to capture 10,000 tons of CO2 to offset emissions from its planes.
Thanks for the heads-up. They’re gone now.
Despite my best efforts to get away from computers, I still find myself attached to them in one way or another during most of my waking hours. Lemmy is my computer time that acts as a mental break from other computer time. Connecting in an even more intimate way sounds horrible.
Apple DOS on an Apple IIe in school.
First Linux distro was Debian.
I was rougher on pillows back then.
There’s a story here, I just know it.
Yes, the first link is combatants only. I think the numbers in the second link include civilian deaths, but it isn’t explicitly stated on that page.
You might like this graph of global war deaths by year from 1800 to present:
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/deaths-in-wars
World War 2 vastly overshadows all other conflicts. Something like 3.7% of the global population died. Some individual countries lost more than 10% of their populations. No other conflict, or group of regional conflicts, comes anywhere close.
I wish the graph in the link had an option to normalize by population. I bet a graph of war deaths as a percent of global population would look very peaceful over the past 50 years.
Edit to add a link about my 10% population number:

Since becoming a parent my nightmares all involve my kids being harmed: crashing their bicycles, getting hit by cars, falling and hitting their heads, etc. It’s awful.
I thought this was the thread about the force-sensitive wookies?
It varies greatly depending on your setup.

That cheaper 88 octane fuel is a blend of 85% unleaded gasoline and 15% ethanol. It’s also known as E15 fuel.
The ethanol is an oxygenate: it adds oxygen atoms to the fuel mix so the fuel burns more completely. That’s good for vehicle emissions. However, the ethanol is less energy dense than gasoline so you will get slightly worse mileage.
