I need some advice -
Have you ever gotten into a reading rut where you feel like you keep reading but are not retaining anything
This year, I feel like I have read so much but it just has gone right through my mind. I've found that unusually I need to read a book twice to get it. It has been very frustrating.
Has this happened to you before Any advice on how to get out of it
Dating advice:
If you are at a first date and it's easier to talk about subjects usually considered taboo for a first date (politics, sexuality) than about small talk (sports, weather), then you are dating the right person.

My second opinion is: if you have to hustle someone at pool in order to make them a better person (curious about what bet YOU recently lost), you do the rug pull no later than the 4th game when they can still afford the bet, and then let the win speak for itself.
Teaching someone to be a better person by humiliating them, suggesting that they're lucky not to get beaten up, and then hounding their Dad for the money is highly correlated with not being welcome at Christmas.
My first opinion is: don't. This has never once in the history of anything ever made anyone a better person. Just send them consecutive nightly hauntings, way more evidence-based.
Apparently I have opinions about hustling your family at pool in order to teach them to be better people.

When I got my Dutch bike back in 2020 I painted the lower portion of the back mudguard white for a bit of visibility, distinctiveness & less appeal to would-be thieves. I used some line marking spray I had from my then job. It is now flaking off (actually not bad given it is for temporary applications!).

Faintly embarrassing computer question that obviously mastodon is the right audience for: so Im old enough that I have a deeply ingrained knowledge that magnets and computers are a bad combination and one should keep the two things as far away from each other as possible, lest Terrible Things occur.
Is this still a thing
Specifically Im trying to figure out if it might be ok to use magnetic snaps on the inside of some messenger bags where they might be close to a laptop and/or tablet.

Random advice of the day: if you can, avoid people who only care about themselves and no one else. (but be aware of folks who hide this, i.e. "friends" who are only "friends" because they want to sell you something, etc.)
