We live weird times. So here's a rendering of Sonny Boy Williamson's classic "Keep Your Hands Off My Pocket" by @jimbasnight. At the drums, yours truly - as I promised at the end of my @CppCon 2023 keynote.

Most people have never heard of siRNA, but it’s going to change the face of medicine. https://t.co/RLP1pxuICA Much drug development today involves developing chemicals to fit into proteins and block them. But this almost never turns out as planned: many drug candidates get broken down in the body, interfere with other proteins and cause toxic side effects, or fail to be absorbed at all. The majority of proteins are considered undruggable, because they lack a pocket for drugs to bind, or they are ‘intrinsically disordered’, without coherent structure. What if, instead of trying to block the pr… worksinprogress.co

I just re-installed SuperDuper! (https://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html) after I somehow managed to break it. Been registered to me for 14 years, the main window informs me. That seemed like it was way too long, so I checked my logs and yep, my first logged run of it was at the beginning of August 2012. So, thanks for almost a decade and a half of backing me up, SuperDuper! Related

Kizer Bear Zero Review Minimalism, as a design trend in knives, was an answer to the tacticool trend of the Aughts. Those gilled, curvy, half pound clunkers were terrible in the pocket and only slightly better at cutting. It is easy to see ho…

There is no perfect SAK, but the Compact is the best SAK. And this is not a "smartest Kardashian" scenario. Over the years I have genuinely loved carrying the Compact. Adding the pocket clip and the excellent PDW scales has made it one of my most frequently carried items.

Health Insurance: I'm still really happy with what I've been doing since since 2020: - Direct primary care (DPC) physician subscription - Sedera Health Sharing (alternative to insurance with a $5k annual max out of pocket type of setup) https://t.co/RB2oXA82eL Total monthly cost for me at 51 is about $400. And no copays for doctor visits! Cautions: works best for people without existing chronic expenses. Also check the ACA marketplace including subsidies which can be very affordable in some cases. Quoting @LancerShull @mrmoneymustache Wondering what your latest take is on health insurance? The marketplace plan I have more than doubled after an increase in income. Thanks for sharing your TRT experience. 👍💪☕ Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
