@firecoals He became embittered, sold up, and is now generally isolated and unhappy person with leanings toward the alt-right. A lot of that’s on him, but getting death threats over his last few Minecraft releases didn’t help the embitterment.

(Gentle reminder that going Full Discourse at every feature update is how Notch happened.)

@Maenad OTOH, if your posture and/weight distribution’s changed, a physio might be able to recommend exercises to help you rebalance.

@polychrome Surprisingly common in hipster neighbourhoods where I am. I guess you can get a coffee while you’re waiting for them to finish with your bike?

@jannamark “We know we spend a lot more than everyone else, and we have looked for easy explanations — things like greed in the system, fee-for-service medicine, overutilization,” he said. But the research, he said, didn’t match his expectations. “I’ve been looking at other countries and seeing there’s a lot of fee-for-service in other countries, and other countries are struggling with overutilization.”

@Maenad Answer’s in the question, sadly.

@rdh @codl That seems a bit extreme to me - some things genuinely aren’t worth the effort to back up. But consider the risks, yes.

@codl Speaking as a DBA: you can never have too many backups. Use several different methods if you can, and keep them in as many different locations as you can manage.

@rowan I’m kind of torn between “go for it!” and “noooo!”, given the state of things here right now.
