  • What opened your eyes to what’s happening in Palestine?

    Gee, that’s assuming quite a bit right out of the gate.

    We’re a group of activists in a Western country

    Care to name yourselves then or do I just take it on faith this isn’t astroturfing? This whole post is pure propaganda.

    While I have sympathy for the average peaceful person living in these areas, Hamas is a terrorist organization. Bring on the downvotes.







  • If you’re not overweight and simply want to become more athletic I personally think the most important thing to do is to find an activity you enjoy. That’s something you have to discover for yourself.

    For example, I can’t stand working out for the sake of working out at a gym. But I do get really motivated by climbing, hiking, trail running, and skiing. Climbing builds strength and has a certain level of problem solving involved too so it’s mentally stimulating. Hiking and trail running are excellent cardio and have clearly defined goals to reach a certain summit or some endpoint. And skiing is just a blast in all forms. All of that keeps me active and having fun while I’m doing it. That makes me want to do it more which allows me to set bigger objectives and then it builds on itself.







  • Your question seems to be confusing between browser and search engine. These are two separate pieces of software.

    But to answer both:

    • Browser: Firefox. Google has demonstrated clearly that they cannot be trusted as the sole owner of the web which is what is about to happen as Chromium (which Brave is based on) fully takes over. Mozilla (makers of Firefox) is the last holdout. If you care, this is case in point about how Google having a monopoly on browsers will kill the free web: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Environment_Integrity.
    • Search engine: Another +1 for Kagi. It has completely replaced Google for me.






  • Toyota and Honda have the reputation for being the most reliable. I would add Subaru to the list as well out of my personal experience.

    Although, I think the best investment a car owner can make is a basic set of tools and the time to learn to do repairs/maintenance yourself. I started by doing my own oil changes and, at first, it wasn’t cheaper at all with needing to buy the tools, but in the years since I think I’ve become quite a handy mechanic and have saved tens of thousands by doing everything myself. There are repair videos online for virtually everything so it’s pretty easy to get started with basic stuff and work your way up from there as needed for your car.
