How, even as seasoned veterans of experience, can we preserve a sense of wonder throughout our lives?

. . . truly contemplating the world — truly attending to and feeling wonder for it — can help dissolve the separations we artificially impose upon life.

Your post reminded me this short article, on maintaining wonder and awe through awareness. Its less about the comparison, and more about the appreciation.

I’m still upset with Buttigieg for his pre-Super-Tuesday drop out. He joined the establishment to rally against Sanders. In doing so, he became part of what’s wrong with the party.

While I don’t think poorly of him as a person per se, he is also just another politician.

In contrast, I see folks like Sanders and AOC as real agents of change.

The bigger concern typically comes from using non sterilized/distilled water. Overall, and with proper use and cleaning, it’s an effective and safe method of sinus cleansing.

Don’t miss a day once you start taking it. It’s not an instant relief med, but has to build in your system for about 24 hours. In my experience, for example, missing Tuesday meant a headache on Wednesday.

Zyrtec and Allegra, I believe, provide same day relief. But I still prefer Claritin myself, for various reasons.

To my knowledge, US states may use different terms for municipalities, collections of homesteads, etc. as they wish because of the 10th amendment in the US Constitution, i.e. it’s not explicitly given to the fed government to prescribe the hierarchy. But I’m no expert on this subject, so I could be mistaken.

On iOS, “Sink It” makes running into a Reddit page palatable again.

I had the opportunity to have both whattaburger and in n out the same week during a trip to Arizona.

Whattaburger is so whunderwhelming. My memory of it is that it’s like a big ass frozen patty on a mediocre bun.

In n out had flavor combos popping in my mouth.

It’s a no brainer, to me. My partner used to die on the whattaburger hill, but changed her tune after that trip.

Well that was fun

My experience with Airplaying to a Roku-based TV is that it isn’t as smooth. E.g., screen mirroring a Mac had noticeable mouse lag, whereas it was pretty buttery smooth with an AppleTV.

Maybe newer Rokus have addressed that problem, though.

Folks in want of an AirPlay receiver, perhaps?

I’m implying it’s a more accurate comparison, or at least one worth making.

Try non-dairy yogurt, and report back.

Reminds me of the headline regarding Russia fining Google $10,000,000,000,000,000,000 or whatever crazy amount.

Shitty dictators think alike 💡

Aspen Dental. Never, ever sit in one of their chairs. If they don’t try to take your teeth, they will fleece you in other ways.

I’m not an expert, so take this as far as you’d like — reading has real benefits to our brains such as improving vocabulary, improving critical thinking skills, and improving focus. I don’t think short form videos give us the same brain benefits.

Here’s an article from Piedmont health on the benefits of reading. I haven’t seen such an article for short form videos, but am open to it if there is one.

On the other hand, the older I get, the more excited I am to greet the next day.

I also enjoy an earlier bed time than I used to, usually.

I have one that does this, too.

It usually doesn’t last super long; I get too hot with him near my chest, and he gets antsy if I’m not perfectly still. 🤷‍♂️

Ah damn, and it looks like almonds are grown mostly in California. Adding insult to injury.

California-grown almonds account for 80 per cent of the world’s commercial almond production.

It’s theoretically possible to reduce cost of food and reduce factory farming if we convert feed fields to other human-consumable options. Additionally, water is conserved, and greenhouse gasses (methane) are further limited.

It’s my opinion that we should not stick with and try to iterate on a bad, unjust, and unfavorable system for the sake of keeping prices low with our current dietary preferences.

I am a current meat eater and former 6 year vegetarian.

And republicans (or, at least one, in my district) are campaigning here on how cashless bail is letting criminals go free.

Cashless bail isn’t letting criminals go free any more than cash-based bail was. I am just as safe. There is nothing to see here, except a more level playing field for all.

Why do the republicans in charge hate people so much? I don’t think their constituents hate people nearly as much as the leaders.
