I also think the chicken or egg question isn't great and agree that it evolved over a long span of time, multiple times. The oscillation between the proto species and species is really interesting to think about and makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your insight.

Which one was it? Self titled was the best.

It's always the egg because the thing that laid what we consider a genetic chicken egg wasn't an animal that we consider a genetic chicken. Mutations happen in utero or whatever it's called when a baby is growing in an egg

Not sure I can let you get awat with that.

Yeah man, this was a wild ride. You absolutely did the right thing ignoring this dude. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10637253/Florida-broadcaster-paid-millions-air-Russian-propaganda-radio.html

I wonder if that is related to the Tim Pool, Russian influence for money, story that broke last month.

Lol, that's how I read it too and it got me thinking about the most inconsequential change I could make in my life in the last 24 hours. Maybe I'd get an extra ketchup packet with my lunch combo. Mission accomplished I guess.

I know you said you're looking for an Android app but have you considered using Home Assistant? I've had success with cheap BLE tags I got off AliExpress. I use a few $5 ESP32 chips for various things including BLE tracking. The only thing is I'm not sure how straight forward sending an alarm signal would be. I track if I took my trashcan to the curb on Tuesdays.

Oh yeah, The Witch was great. Period piece horror can be hit or miss, but that one hit it out of the park for me.

Thanks for this, I don't think I've seen either of those. Gonna have to check them out.

Personally, I'm partial to a slow burn horror movies. I don't mind jumpscares if they serve a purpose other than to startle you. For example in Hereditary, one of the jump scares is the mom driving alone in her car and she hears her dead daughter make her signature mouth click sound. That startles you, but also lets you know the daughter may not be gone. As opposed to a generic jumpscare like a cat jumping out of a window with a dramatic music sting.

My all-time favorite horror movie technique is a lingering camera after the dialogue and characters leave. Like even if they don't show anything it makes me uneasy. I don't know what that's called but it's so good if the director does it right.

I don't have ADHD, but I imagine this is like showing a picture of a kid standing to one in a wheelchair saying be more like this.
