#459 - Wrist pain fixes, open source notes, and Trombone Guitar Hero
Train to Busan was an excellent zombie movie. Simple concept, well executed. Got me back into that zombie media craze of the late 00s.
Some events this week: Thurs: World Folk Jam at hillside mansion, Fri: How to Catch a Karen sketch by a good friend, Sat: Fun Stuff variety show and the annual Breier party! DM if you're not invited yet.
Tech
Startupy — beta.startupy.world
Smart people open source their notes and quotes, and you can get in on them. Reminds me of Pockets Discover feature. Feel like this has been tried before and failed though?
Friends wiki about reducing wrist pain. I may need to switch from a flat keyboard soon - no pain, but yes strain.
My Operating Principles | Bill Mei — billmei.net
Another techie friend who open sources his life principles and tries to be as helpful as possible. It's a good genre of blog - I wonder if theres a way to aggregate multiple personal blogs like this for meta learnings, like 'x people have y principle'.
Lifehacks
Crash Course World History #1 — www.youtube.com
I've posted Crash Course here before, but have been coming back to the first one's opener because of how it talks about whether you ever get tested on this stuff:
He says: "The test will last your entire life and it will comprise of the millions of decisions that when taken together makes your life yours and everything - everything - will be on it.”
At least, that's what I tell myself every time I go down Wikipedia holes. :)
The Anti-Reactionary FAQ | Slate Star Codex — slatestarcodex.com
I shared a takedown of Curtis Yarvin and reactionaries a few weeks back and one of you pointed out that it actually wasn't that effective, and reminded me of this monster post from 2013 poking holes in neo reactionary beliefs.
Always good to revisit! Would love to see an equally well-written takedown of progressive ones - so we can cut through both sides and get to the best solutions.

Chobani - Dear Alice - The Line Animation
This solarpunk animation is delightful, though that it comes from Chobani, not exactly environmentalists themselves, is darkly ironic.
'Through the Fire and Flames' by DragonForce - Trombone Champ — www.youtube.com
Guitar hero with a trombone = hilarity. I'm not ashamed to say I cried laughing.
