  • The premade soylents are pretty good, and I regularly have them with a protein bar as my lunch. They’re pretty expensive in my opinion, so I try and look for them on sale, but the ease of not having to prep lunch is often worth it. I try and keep it under $2 a bottle for the 14oz ones, which still feels expensive to me, but some of the lunches I prep are around that cost, and it’s way cheaper than going out to eat (I keep a spare one at work in case I ever forget to bring lunch)








  • Honestly started using Mastodon right at the start of the Twitter announcements, although I had never used Twitter. I was getting worried about where most things online were trendeing and tended to use reddit for a big chunk of my online browsing. I wasn’t really expecting reddit to implode so quickly after Twitter, but as I was already using mastodon another federated platform seemed good to join













  • There a few things that we just haven’t crossed the threshold for yet that I found engaging (if not “addictive”) at Reddit, several of which were live threads about an event (NFL/NBA/Soccer/F1/etc). We’re not big enough here for that yet, where Mastodon is (you can get awesome interaction on hashtags about topics while they’re happening). The other thing was when a post got popular you could scroll through hundreds of comments with at least some thought behind them, and here it’s more like 10-25. The content is often better here, there is just less of it. Which is fine for me, it’s just a slightly different experience than I was having at Reddit, but I think some of those things will come with time.
