Maybe new year resolutions?

Mergerfs + snap raid is a popular combo for this.

I just use bookmarks.

Vital wheat gluten. 24g of protein per 30g serving. The ratio is less when prepared though.

Any way to play it single player and get value out of it?

Someone shared this link about Brave recently though the article is a couple years old: https://www.spacebar.news/stop-using-brave-browser/

There’s a browser called Ladybird written in a new engine but it’s still a ways off from being released.

Someone there was even decapitated somewhat recently. Within the last couple years.

I was also a CICO person until I watched an episode of PBS NOVA called The Truth About Fat. Turns out our bodies are very good at trying to stay at the same weight even if we change the calories we consume.

Mind sharing? I’ve been thinking about getting a bread machine anyway.

I was once on a train for two days straight in China, 2008, and it was magical. I yearn to go back. The rhythmic rocking lulling me to sleep was heavenly.

Sounds good! We had a vegan Friendsgiving last week potluck style. I made a seitan turkey that was pretty good. Our family sucks so it’s just my wife, toddler, baby and myself today, and I get to make another vegan spread. Just did a main, two sides, and pumpkin pie but I’m wiped out.

Thanks!

Meanwhile, US economic power continues to wane globally

And US munitions with no quick way to ramp up production capacity.

Any recommendations?

You’re welcome.

if i were to explore buddhism more fully, it would definitely be on my own, rather than in association with any particular sect or practicing group

That seems reasonable to me. Keep in mind my experience may not be representative. I will also say my experience as a lay temple member vs. the priesthood training were almost opposite and I was caught very off guard. From what I remember, Tendai is dying off in Japan. CIA-pedia says 2.8 million practitioners in Japan, 5.3 million for Zen, vs 22 million for Pure Land and 10 million for Nichiren. My point being that although Tendai is a significant sect that incorporates practices from the others, it’s one small slice of Buddhist traditions. I know basically nothing about Theravada or Tibetan Buddhism.

Comrade, this and your other reply to me are good comments, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. You’ve caused me to re-examine some of the core teachings of Buddhism on my own terms. For example, I did not remember that Buddha specifically spoke against self-mortification as a practice. One of my strong memories from trying to enter the priesthood was the temple head (my teacher) speaking reverently of some long dead monk who cut a piece of her own skin off as a devotional practice. I think I might spend some time re-examining core texts and precepts without the colorings of a specific sect. Materially I am still skeptical of Enlightenment, especially given the historical context during which Buddha lived and the other competing groups seeking the same, but I think I’ll give it another critical examination.
