    So Megan’s dad was very arrogant. But then again with how expensive healthcare is, I don’t blame him for not wanting to go. And assuming how this guy felt politically. he’d probably be okay with healthcare staying expensive. And now that thought process likely bite him in the ass.

      Umm… politics had nothing to do with the Doctor line.

      He saw Doctors.

      He just didn’t take their advice or listen to what they told him to do.

        “He just didn’t take their advice or listen to what they told him to do.”

        Like an unfortunately large amount of American males. My own deceased father among them.

        He was still arrogant either way. And it was his arrogance of not taking doctor’s advice because it meant changing his lifestyle to way he didn’t want to do, and because of that it eventually killed him.

    Stop smoking, stop eating fatty foods, cut back on the sodium, get some proper excersize… advice a lot of people ignore.

      Except that by now we know that neither fatty foods nor sodium are actually directly impacting health… (Worst they can do is induce people to overeat regularly, because we tend to crave them.) So a lot of the advice we heard about food over the past decades is bullshit. In general, anything that goes beyond “natural foods are better than processed foods” tends to be conjecture, which is wrong more often than not.

      Advice about smoking and exercise though is perfectly valid of course 🙂

  • Every Time I Say My Desk is 'Peak' Cyberpunk, I End Up Topping It ( November 30th 2020 )


    My current desk

    So every few years I've felt the need to make an update about my ever evolving workspace, and how I (more and more) seem to be cultivating an aesthetic that screams "secondary side character in a cyberpunk story who probably gets killed off in the third act." It's an aesthetic I've been working on on purpose (well, not the getting killed off bit), but every time I declare it's reached "peak cyberpunk" I end up outdoing it soon after anyway.

    Like that 2017 update? I exceeded it in mere months.

    Anyway, since I made some significant changes recently, I thought I'd post an update about my weird hole of many screens where I run The Nerd & Tie Podcast Network from. I'm not going to run through everything, but I will map out the biggest differences from 2017. The first is (obviously) the 32" display up top, which I now use to stream media on instead of the Kindle Fire (though the Kindle Fire is still used for audio bumpers on podcasts). An Apple TV runs that, though I also have a spare Switch dock hooked up sometimes. The Linux laptop is gone (I mean I still have it though), replaced by the late-2011 13" MacBook Pro which used to be my main personal machine. That MacBook Pro is tucked away, but displays on the relocated black monitor in the lower left.

    Of course, my new main personal machine is a brand spankin' new M1 Mac mini, which is controlled by the keyboard and trackpad that sit where my laptop used to be. I've expanded the physical desk (and retired the mini fridge) to support the monitor for the Mac mini. And don't worry, Linux isn't gone from my desk (and I mean I still use the laptop) -- as you will notice one last monitor on the lower right which is hooked up to a Raspberry Pi 400. This is notably used from a different chair, as that's my "goof around" computer, and would literally be a distraction if I was trying to use it while getting work done.

    It's funny, I bought two computers in 2020, both of which are ARM based. With a good chunk of my desk now on RISC architecture, I'm happy I can just dig out this image without context as I sign off for today...

    RISC is good
