@HackingDave Truth. Huskies are just... different. Lol

This is one of my favourite Norman Rockwell paintings, and technically one of his finest. But its real meaning lives in that small room at the back... The painting is Shuffleton's Barbershop, made in 1950. At first you see a small-town barbershop at night, closed and empty, seen from the street through the front window. Rockwell painted every detail with obsessive care: the cracked blind, the worn magazines, the swept floor. But look past all of it, through the doorway at the very back. There, in a small lit room behind the shop, three men have gathered after hours. The barber and his friends are playing music together, a cello, a violin, a clarinet, glowing in the warm light while the dark, silent shop waits in front of them. You can almost hear their song... And this is why I love this picture: the part of the barber's life that matters most is the little room in the back, after the door is locked, where he becomes something else entirely, a musician among friends, doing the thing he actually loves. Rockwell put the public life in the foreground, large and dim, and the real life far in the distance, small and lit and easy to miss. It says something true about nearly all of us. The part of a person the world sees, the job and the daily routine, is so rarely the part that holds their heart. The life that matters is often the hidden one, after hours, off to the side, in a back room the passing world never sees. Everyone has one. You just rarely get to look into anyone else's...

@HackingDave I empathize... have to get my head around things and situated before I'm able to interact.

@tyromper I switched to a creapure version and had less GI issues. Read that from Rhonda Patrick, and it did help me with that issue. I'm doing 10g daily, 5g in pre and 5g in post shakes.

@HackingDave 💯

That kid doesn’t know it now but someday he’s gonna be all grown up, facing life and look back and realize that’s the happiest he ever was ❤️

This is a big deal. Omega-3s reduce aggressive behavior across randomized controlled trials. A meta-analysis of 29 studies and nearly 4,000 participants found that omega-3 supplementation reduced aggressive behavior by up to 28%. The benefit was broadly consistent across children and adults, males and females, community and clinical samples, and across different doses and treatment durations. It also helped with both reactive/impulsive and proactive/planned aggression. Mechanistically, this makes sense. Omega-3s are deeply involved in brain cell membranes, neurotransmission, neuroinflammation, cerebral blood flow, and gene regulation. DHA is especially enriched in the prefrontal cortex (an area critical for impulse control, emotion regulation, and executive function). The authors even concluded that there is now “sufficient evidence” to begin implementing omega-3 supplementation to reduce aggression in the community, the clinic, or the criminal justice system. That’s a remarkable statement for a nutritional intervention and a reminder that omega-3s influence brain health and may shape behavior in meaningful ways.

Today is our nations Memorial Day. Enjoy your day and take a moment to remember the true meaning of this day. A day to pay our respects to all those who have given their lives in our country's defense. God bless these brave heroes and their families.

Dario is a complete shit show. First - company adoption is way slower - not saying it’s not possible but rapid implementation of AI across all jobs isn’t going to happen outside of tech companies. Second - the risk AI introduces to enterprise is substantial - not saying it won’t get there but we have time. What he’s not saying is the cost of AI is going to drastically increase and the latest stats is it’s as expensive if not more than a regular employee. Someone that uses AI every single day - it has created an insane amount of workload managing it versus reducing it. His comments are to grow the company, force adoption, force AI into the workforce in the hope of increasing shareholder value. Not a fan of this dude at all.

@TonikJDK Bring it on. At our age the excitement is just fun now. 😉

@HackingDave 💯 We don't deserve them.

Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home. They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️

At 95, I'm still smokin'! 😝 I’ve learned two things: Never waste a good cigar. Never trust anyone who says you should ‘act your age.’ 😉👍🏻

How to support your brain’s key signaling systems without a screen 🧠 These habits don’t directly “boost” a single chemical on demand, and they aren’t treatments for mental health or sleep disorders. But practiced consistently, they may help support the biological systems involved in mood, focus, stress regulation, and sleep. Which one of these will you try today?

@HackingDave No guy needs an explanation on this. 🤣

Research shows that regularly practicing gratitude can lead to measurable changes in the brain. This effect is driven by neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganize itself based on repeated thoughts and behaviors. When people intentionally focus on appreciation, neural pathways involved in emotional control and coping become stronger. Grateful thinking also stimulates the release of dopamine and serotonin, chemicals linked to pleasure and motivation, while helping reduce cortisol, the hormone associated with stress. Brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex and hypothalamus become more active, supporting improved mood regulation and overall mental health. Over time, gratitude does more than provide short-term emotional relief. It gradually shifts the brain away from its natural bias toward threat detection and toward noticing positive experiences instead. Simple habits like writing down what you’re thankful for or expressing appreciation aloud reinforce these patterns, making optimistic thinking more automatic. Studies indicate that this repeated practice builds lasting neural connections, promoting emotional balance, resilience, and well-being. In essence, regularly acknowledging what’s going well can retrain the brain showing that small daily moments of gratitude can produce meaningful, long-term psychological benefits.

@NCIPros @alphafox Anyone remember putting top hats in theirs?

@TonikJDK Gracias!

@TonikJDK @Browns Somehow, someway, they always find a way to disappoint.
