    I greatly miss /r/nba. The NBA finals just concluded last night and the draft is coming up, and I just lost my main source of information about the sport. There were a lot of twitter posts that made it to reddit, but it saved me from 1) getting a twitter account (bleh) and 2) filtering through all the other tweets that I don't actually care about. Not sure where I'm gonna go next for following the sport.

    I think the fact that some of the experts had usernames like "yourmomsux420" just added to it.

    I have a secrid wallet and love it. Small, secure, and easy to use. Would buy another in a heartbeat if I ever lost mine.

    I love debian stable + kde + flatpak. Flatpak gives me the few applications I want (sublime text, telegram) that aren't up to date in debian stable, and everything else is a rock. And it is themeable!

    I've been wearing a garmin vivoactive 3 for probably about a year now, and its been working like a champ for me! Battery life of ~5 days is amazing, and I'm also impressed there are no scratches on the thing. I can't speak to Spotify as I didn't get the music version, but I'm very happy with the fitness tracking side of it.

    I hadn't thought about positions but those actually make a lot of sense. I'm sure Castro would get some cabinet or director position relating to immigration too.

    I wonder what it's like to be in congress, go on national TV and be like "EVERYONE I WORK WITH SUCKS AND THE WHOLE THING SHOULD CHANGE!", and then go back to work.

    There was a split camera with them looking at each other during their exchange and I think Biden died in that moment.

    Both are personal tragedies that affected them, does the time difference really matter?

    She started out sounding kinda conspiracy-theorizing, but I thought she rounded it out and actually did better than I expected.

    Castro surprised me in a positive way. I had little information on about half the field going in, him being one of them, and he came off as surprisingly competent and passionate about issues. Perhaps the field he was against wasn't the strongest, but he seemed in the top 4 for sure last night.

    If you love yourself, others will love you, too. You can only control your reactions to what other people do, not the people themselves. Hang in there and live life the way you want to live!

    I'm definitely not far down the EDC path, but I paid more than one would expect for Magnus HangKey and some clips. However, I love them and would absolutely spend the money over if I ever lost them.
