@matigo I learned a similar concept through Stoicism, namely that you can control only two things: your actions and reactions. Worrying about things outside of your control is a waste of energy.
I've also learned to be a lot more selective about who I allow into my life and who and under what circumstances I provide assistance to others, which you should definitely do. It's good for your soul.

@japchap You both might appreciate this photo when I briefly worked for Netscape in 1997. The Internet Explorer team pranked Netscape by putting a large IE logo on their lawn.
The response? This photo. Not sure I have the original photo anymore, but I do have a copy of the German computer magazine c'T where the photo was part of a story about Netscape.

@matigo no, but I did get confirmation on some things I’ve been feeling as of late.
Seeing my Israeli colleagues celebrating the release of hostages. Let this be the end of the conflict…not just there, but everywhere.
@japchap What I linked explains how they'll handle it. There won't be any new Rush songs, but they will be using a different drummer (obviously) and a couple other people on stage playing instruments.
Rush is going back on tour [rush.com]. Admittedly, it’s hard to replace Neil Peart, but the music is eternal.
Not sure I’ve mentioned Two and a Half Bens [twoandahalfbens.com], a new podcast my other half and I started doing with a mutual friend a couple months back. It’s definitely not hosted by a Chief TWiT or a tech bro.
@matigo it’s funny as there’s a local place run by Mennonites that allegedly makes great donuts. My other half and I discussed trying one to confirm this, though neither of us should be eating them at all.
What you choose to put in your body how often and when is a personal choice that you alone suffer the consequences of. I see nothing wrong with the occasional donut, much like Mr. No Sugar No Grains himself will have the occasional glass of wine with his sister-in-law Kristen Scott-Thomas, whom he sees about once a year.
