I need to remember this next time someone asks me my age. "How old are you?" "Older than I deserve..." (in a Dave Ramsey voice)

As a procrastinator, I worry that my startup isn't going to make it. As a deadline approaches, will I be able to implement the features that I promised? This is why I need deadlines. So I know I'm doing something important. And yes I know my startup isn't going to "make it" in the sense of being successful (like it could be if I gave it more time and effort and dedication)... of course. But I want to make _something_. Maybe it'll catch on. Maybe I'll become addicted to shipping and creating products. Maybe I can eventually wean myself off of that corporate paycheck. But alas, there is no valid sounding solution that does not involve having discipline, an order of magnitude more than I have currently.

Always read the Terms of Service and Privacy policy. I was just upgrading my LG TV to WebOS 13, with a slew of new asks: - Terms of Service - Privacy Policy - ... 6 sub categories of data sharing with third parties. I unchecked the third party stuff, but I was appalled to see in the LG privacy policy this statement: LG will not only record what you watch through their WebOS software, but it will also use ACR (Automated Content Recognition) to recognize anything you're playing on the TV even through HDMI inputs. So even the DVDs or the Chromecast content that you play, gets vacuumed up by the data monster, to sell to the brokers. I don't care if it's anonymized or not. They have no business collecting what I watch. **It's beyond impolite; it's actually offensive.** Anyway it's possible to uncheck that box, and the TV still operates. So at least there's that.

The early Underoath albums are the only ones I like. It's screamo, but it has a distinct reverence for God, which makes it an even more potent depiction of human struggle. It even depicts the struggle of passion of the Christ, if you have eyes to perceive it. There is so much meaning in between the words of the lyrics, and I'm sure I'm not just making it all up. Currently listening to Casting Such a Thin Shadow, from the album Define the Great Line. "I've become a stick figure illustration" Later albums aren't the same. Band members changed.

Wish I could search Amethyst for "Amethyst creator" and find the right person. That would be something ... Semantic search backed by WoT-driven dRAG. Anyway, does anyone know... if I upload an image using Amethyst, does it strip EXIF metadata like the geolocation?

The ears and the eyes are two different modes of perception. Each has its strength. And both were conceived by God.
