    it is completely wild to me how many people on here are making 100% confident statements about what is made possible by web3, a thing that does not seem to actually exist

    and right at the same time as facebook releases an AMV about "the metaverse" and pretends it's a product

    5 out of 5
    I never knew electric razors could be so effective!

    I've had a Panasonic razor for many many years, but it finally died so I went looking for a replacement. I ended up deciding on this one, and I am so glad I found it! It's like night and day compared to how well it cleans up my face. I always assumed electric razors were only good for short trims, and any time I let my face grow out more than a day's worth I would have to switch back to a manual razor to clean it up. This one can chew through facial hair like a lawnmower! Okay maybe that's a slight exaggeration since I don't end up growing anything anyone would consider a "full beard", but still it's such a huge difference compared to the small Panasonic I've been using for years!

    My only complaints about this are:

    The razor charges with its own cord with a unique power connector, which means if I need to charge it while traveling I have to not forget to pack the cable. (My previous razor used AA batteries so it was easy to bring replacements or use rechargeable ones for travel.)

    The razor is significantly larger than the small one I used to use, so it takes up a lot more room in my travel bag. However it's so effective that it's worth it.

    I wish I had known electric razors could be so good a long time ago, I would have saved myself a lot of time!

    Right, but Web 2.0 (although the term was a bit of a joke to developers) was describing technologies solving actual problems. Web3 is vague hype.

    Folks like https://indieweb.org/ share some of the web3 goals, but without the speculative crypto bro stuff.

    Orgs supporting NFTs and crypto: Twitter, Discord and Adobe (Big Tech, centralised)
    Projects opposing it: Mastodon, Zulip and Kritta (open source, decentralised)
    If you think crypto and NFTs will democratise the internet, wonder why Big Tech likes it and decentralised OS doesn't

    The last SEA->PDX leg went smooth. The flight is so short there's no time to get out a computer or anything, so I ended up napping during takeoff for about half the flight, so like 20 minutes. Now it's 7:30 and I'm not about to fall asleep anymore, so I hope I don't regret that nap.

    Next up in the #OperationNoJetlag plan is nachos for dinner and staying up until at least 9:30pm

    My last meal (other than airplane pretzels and chips) was lunch at the beginning of the LHR->SEA flight which was around 7am local time. I wanted to save room for dinner but also wanted to eat a full meal before bed to get my stomach back on this time zone too.

    #OperationNoJetlag update: managed to stay up until about 10pm last night and then got really really tired while watching a movie. Fell asleep and stayed asleep until about 6am! Got up and had a normal day, went on a walk in the morning and bike ride in the afternoon. I was hungry at lunch time and again at dinner time so I'm pretty sure that means I did it!
