Don't move. Just notice your body right now. Is your chin tucked toward your chest? Are your shoulders rolled forward? Is your phone down by your stomach or lap? If you are like 90% of people reading this, you are in the classic "slouch" position. And while it feels comfortable right now, you are quietly causing irreversible mechanical damage to your neck and spine. **The Terrifying Science of "Text Neck"** In a neutral position, your head weighs about 10 to 12 pounds. But as you tilt your head forward to look at your phone, the gravitational pull on your neck increases exponentially. According to biomechanical studies, tilting your head forward just 15 degree...

This is a long read but well worth the time, in my opinion. A comment was made on one of our posts about Shibarium and whether it would be run on Polygon in an effort to reduce fees. A fellow member pointed out that Shytoshi had once commented that it wouldn't be run on polygon but a polygon like network inferring that the devs were attempting to develop their own layer 2 (L2) protocol. I've had some theories for a while and this really got me thinking... how does a new L2 for in with ShibaSwap tokenomics... and here's my theory. Please forgive me if I ramble at all, it's 2:30am here and I've had 5 hours of sleep in 2 days. Comment below and let me know what y'...

(English is not my first language, sorry if the grammar isn’t the best 🙏) So in around 2 months I want to replace my Alienware M15 R7 due to some underlying problems I had with it the last months. I’ve been a big Alienware user ever since I was 12, but I wonder if now it’s time to change brands mostly because of the maintenance problems (99% of the time related to battery) Some of the things I would like is: \- I like playing modded games (Skyrim, Baldur’s gate, etc) so I hope +4 TB isn’t out of my budget \- +RTX 5070, 5080 ti would be the ideal but I’m fine with 5070 \- 64 RAM (this is very optional because of the current RAM prices lol,32 is good too) \- Some Portabi...

I genuinely want to know: how does anyone actually make friends? Especially in person, I’m terrified of people my age. After a horrible experience with bullying in middle school three years ago, I still actively avoid teenagers. If I see a group of them at the park or in a store aisle, I will literally turn around and walk away because I'm scared they’ll be rude or judge me. Being homeschooled makes it even harder since I’m stuck in a bubble where I only feel safe talking to adults or my family. My only other option is finding friends online, but that’s just as frustrating. I **** small talk. Getting a "good morning" or "how was your day" every single day is...

This is a story about my families car collection, partial anyways, just the Porsches. First photo: it's young me with our newly fully restored 911 3.2 35th anniversary at the factory. When we bought it, it didn't come with the rear spoiler but we have the front splitter, however it isn't on. In my opinion, looks much cleaner. Still own it in the UK. Second photo: another young me at the factory with our 993 Carrera, we sold it however a few years ago. Fully restored from factory with a manual conversion. Maroon interior, great car, just didn't use it enough. Stored it in Singapore. Third photo: our 930 flachbau targa rhd. Limited sonderwunsch run, around 1/5 super super...

In the years before streaming took hold, a movie night began with the simple act of leaving the house. You'd drive to the rental store, Blockbuster most often, or one of the smaller chains, with friends or family, the car filled with talk of what to watch. If horror was on the table, a low excitement and even chill built during the ride itself. When you go there, you'd linger, ten, twenty minutes or longer, lifting boxes, reading summaries, exchanging opinions, sometimes laughing at the titles, "Oh remember this movie, it totally bombed at the box office!" or "God, he's still making movies, he looks so old now!". But once you finally did settle on a movie...

Yo! man. Let's talk about figures, statues, and replicas that make your man cave look like a museum for the gods of anime, games, and movies. You know, the kinda stuff where you got Iron Studios' Deadpool posin' like he owns the place, Weta Workshop's Lord of the Rings beasts that could scare off your nosy neighbors, McFarlane Toys' Batman lookin' ready to whoop some Joker ***, and Bandai Banpresto's anime waifus that got you rethinkin' your life choices. !!! Yeah, those collectibles !!! [Fragstore.com](http://Fragstore.com) just announces "Spring SP: Discounts That Grow" promo, and it's growin' faster than beard of 16...

The US-Israeli imperialist assault on Iran, launched on February 28, 2026, has immediately exposed the parasitic relationship between monopoly capital and military aggression. Within days of the attack, Brent crude surged 15%, wiping out all the energy cost “victories” Trump had claimed since his January inauguration. This is not an accident—it is the logic of imperialism. Lenin teaches us that finance capital seeks domination, not peace. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz—through which 20% of global oil flows—is not merely a tactical consequence of war, but a demonstration of how the imperialist powers hold the global economy hostage to their geopolitical ambitions. The imperial...

\*\*The Beginning\*\* Vergil, Son of Sparda. After facing defeat time and time again, his body began to fail. Desperately he sought the Yamato until he stumbled upon a garage. Inside was a person, no older than 25, male, white hair, and a blue, glowing arm. He heard a name, Nero. That must be his name, not that it matters. He has the Yamato, he must. But where is it? He spoke to Vergil but he didn’t really listen that much. Nero’s arm glowed brighter. “You a demon?” That’s the Yamato. His arm. A woman’s voice was heard, Vergil didn’t get to see her. “KYRIE, GET BACK INSIDE!!!” Her name must be Kyrie, but that doesn’t matter. Vergil, in one fluid motion ri...

Good morning! Please make sure you are tipping your delivery drivers. Door Dash pays their drivers pennies and they count on your tips to actually make money. Most of the drivers have families to feed and are dashing as a second job to buy groceries. The money they make off Door Dash might barely cover the upkeep on their vehicle. Bottom line, if you're to lazy to go get it yourself, at least tip. I know I go above and beyond to provide excellent service when I bring your food. I even make sure the restaurant is working on your order so I can get it out to you. If you are requesting delivery, $5 dollars should be the minimum tip for a driver (more than that if you live 20 minutes out of...

I’m visiting some extended family who live abroad and I wanted to bring them some small gifts that are branded Santa Monica and/or LA. Nothing fancy, I’m thinking sweatshirts/t-shirts, mugs, Trader Joe’s totes, etc. Anybody have a favorite gift store in SM?

I moved into my own place at the start of this academic year, first time living independently, about forty minutes from my parents by train. It's a small flat, one bedroom, not a lot of storage space. My mum knows this because she helped me move in. About two months ago she called and mentioned she was doing a big clear out at home and had some things she wanted to "temporarily store" at mine. I said okay without thinking too much about it, assuming she meant a box or two. She arrived with her car fully loaded. Boxes of old kitchenware, a rolled up rug, three bin bags of clothes she wasn't ready to donate, and a lamp. None of it fit neatly anywhere. I ended up with boxe...

Bit packing is a classic approach for compressing arrays of small integers. If your values only ever reach, say, 17, you only need 5 bits each and you can pack 6 of them into a single 32-bit word instead of storing one per word. This means less disk space and higher throughput for storage engines and search indexes. Daniel Lemire's [simdcomp](https://github.com/fast-pack/simdcomp) is a great implementation of bitpacking for `uint32_t`. It provides a family of pack/unpack routines (one per bit width 1–32), originally generated by a [script](https://github.com/fast-pack/simdcomp/tree/master/scripts) (interestingly there is no script for the SIMD version). The key benefit comes from unr...

*(throwaway account) I'm sorry for the length, but I tried to end positively.* A lot of things have happened lately, but I'm pushing my 30s and had to move back in with my parents in my home country. My boyfriend is long-distance. My ex-best friend is still my friend but she cracked open the trust I had in her and spread it like one of those ASMR slimes she loves so much. My sister is busy raising toddlers. I felt like I speak too much to my boyfriend about my problems, so I booked some therapy appointments. I have to travel soon back to my country of study for my Masters graduation that I secretly think my family doesn't actually want to attend, so even though I saw my thera...

Dear friends, Today I would like to share something simple and heartfelt from the road. Over the past few days Venerable have received many gifts, letters, drawings, and small offerings from people who support the Walk for Peace. Each package carries kindness, care, and encouragement from people we have never met but who walk this journey with us in spirit. One supporter shared a touching message with us. She explained that she had written letters to all of the monks who are still in Texas and asked if we could share them with everyone. She said she also plans to write another letter later, because she wants more time to reflect on what she would like to say. She also asked us to give Alo...

😻Hey cat parents and fur balls companions, I've been working on Padr, an iOS app for cat owners who use smart feeders, water fountains, litter boxes, or cameras. The core problem it solves: instead of switching between PetKit, PetLibro, Eufy, Neakasa and Home Assistant apps, everything lives in one timeline with powerful intelligence briefs and insights. What it actually does: \- Unified timeline — every meal, drink, litter visit, and play session in one chronological view across all your devices \- Works with existing hardware — PetKit, PetLibro, Home Assistant, and Eufy cameras. No new devices needed \- Daily health scoring — vet-based scoring across hydration, nutritio...

​ Okay so this is an old story but it's also a wild one so buckle up. One of the main reasons I'm only posting this story now is because the statute of limitations is up on it and I can finally spill the tea. (all fake names just in case) So, I used to work in this restaurant in a very small town, where everyone knew everyone. I was new to the town since my parents had just recently moved there and I had moved back in with them from an internship in the next state over. It was nice and quiet, except for the restaurant. This was the hotspot of the town, (including one other restaurant, but that one was always closed when it was off season). If it wasn't norma...
