    I got really interested in Elon after reading Wait But Why's post on him and his 1st biography. I had admired his ambition and intensity to bring about his aspirations, despite some of the allegations of toxicity and terrible workplace culture. He seemed like a person who was genuinely interested in clean cars and space exploration & colonization - not from a capitalizing view but out of his own curiosity and push to save humanity. I kinda related to his neurodivergent nature that I hadn't seen in other mainstream figures.

    He began to sour on me when he tried that stunt of saving the kids from the cave. And totally lost respect when he went and bought Twitter. And for many other reasons he's been going downhill since.

    I like to think he'd been corrupted by capitalism... But its just sad what he's turned into.

    Seems like they're using sand like a fluid to exchange heat like typically done w water/steam? Which makes it much more versatile than firebricks

    I'd like to be more regularly active - both in the physical and mental states.

    I feel like i need to be more engaged, critical, thoughtful, intentional. Work on those brain muscles instead of passively consuming media.

    Im in my late 20's but i can feel my body getting stiffer and more fragile. i don't have an exercise routine at all, and would like to incorporate some small daily exercise/stretching/yoga routine.

    Very thorough! Any occasion when you break your routine? I have a problem where if i start a routine and break it, i end up falling out of it.

    What kind of exercise do you do? For how long? I envy that you can fit that in before work!

    Im trying to get into the habit of setting a daily/weekly routine of hobbies, chores, meal planning etc.

    Right now, they happen when they need to happen but its not the most efficient or well coordinated. And i'd like to spend less time thinking about when to do things or what to do for routine activities.

    What are some routines that work for you well?

    I am part of a community which i am grateful for, but the relationships there end up staying within the bounds of the community. Doesn't extend beyond that.

    Ive been losing friends over the years from moving away, settling down with my partner, and just being terrible at staying in touch. And i've realized i haven't been making any new ones either. So my social circle is shrinking. I meet people, but the social connections haven't really lasted.

    I wonder how other folks are finding new friends that have been meaningful and lasted in adulthood.
