Anyone interested practicing Stoicism?
I've just been interested recently and I'm curious what people have to say.

And I mean besides pirating. If so, what kind of communities/servers are you a part of and could you recommend any public, general Usenet servers for newbies to check out?
I have tried Calibre & SumatraPDF, I was so excited for Calibre until it never worked properly on the one textbook I needed. For example, whenever I went to the next page it would stall on loading forever, and this is apparently a known issue that's [according to the posts I read from the owner] caused by a graphics driver that I'm not interested in delving into just to read an ebook.
The ebook itself is pretty large with a lot of mathematical equations and images, but nothing my computer should be stalling on. The issue with SumatraPDF is that it can't seem to render the mathematical equations properly, and I couldn't find any simple way to load them without having to do more work.
Mine is this:
Run up, swing your left leg behind you while popping up with your right angle into a corkscrewing front flip. Pull your right leg and kick into the opponents temple at a 45 degree angle before landing on your left leg and spinning a full 360 before standing up facing the opposite direction, and walk away.
I'm probably never using that in a fight but it'd be a cool party trick.
So, this was the big "musical episode" they hyped up for a few weeks. As not the biggest musical fan in the world (they can be fun to go see on occasion), this episode was a resounding "meh" for me. It was basically just a novelty. The hip-hop Klingons were the funniest part though, wasn't expecting that...
I went back to the gym after procrastinating a lot, but still, I'm not able to maintain the routine I had before. What do you do to overcome laziness and go to the gym every day?
I have a large music collection and I buy some vinyl, some CDs, but mostly MP3s. I've been using 7digital lately but I don't like how they have enlisted Paypal as their payment service. Is there any other sites out there to buy MP3s legitimately?
Have you watched any movies recently you want to discuss? Any films you want to recommend or are hyped about? Feel free to discuss anything here.
Please just try to provide fair warning of spoilers if you can.
I just received an Unknown Tracker alert on my Pixel 7 running Android 14 beta 5 for an Apple air tag that was on my son in laws key chain as I had borrowed his car.
I heard this was coming but didn't expect it so soon!
Quite impressed with both the information given and the general advice and steps to take offered.
The first notification was "Tracker Travelling With You: Unknown Apple air tag detected. The owner can see your location."
Touching "more info" then shows a map of where the tracker has been with me and the option to make the tracker play a sound to help locate it, with a note that the owner won't know you've done that.
Then more advice and options:
And a ”need more help" link.
As I said, I had heard about this coming but was pleasantly surprised at how good it was and the general advice and help offered up.
Nice seeing things like this done right.
This topic is part of a series. It is meant to be a place for users to discuss creative projects they have been working on.
Projects can be personal, professional, physical, digital, or even just ideas.
If you have any creative projects that you have been working on or want to eventually work on, this is a place for discussing those.
Hey I would love some new recommendations. I love all kinds of music without words, weather that be classical, ambient, postrock, whatever. (I also love music that has lyrics too :) But sometimes I just enjoy listening to instrumental tracks).
Are there any favorites you'd be willing to share? Right now I am listening to Brian Eno. Thanks in advance.
