    I'm in the process of trying out my shortlist of VPN choices. I'm liking AirVPN right now, the speeds seem good, and the security is as good as a VPN can offer.

    I have a question: does logging in to websites on a VPN defeat your anonymity? From what I understand, heuristics can identify a person in about a day.

    I'm not qualified to be an astronaut, but I would jump at that opportunity. It would be the greatest adventure in the history of humanity.

    What else is there to do except speak up? My biggest political issue is the mitigation of climate change. The science is established, the risks are known. Reality has an interesting quality: its the only thing that remains when you stop believing in it.

    So now, I look at my options. I can sit on my hands and let the conservative wave continue unchecked, or I can stand up and attempt to do something about it.
    When you are talking about a problem that truly grows exponentially, there is no time like the present for taking action. And climate change does exhibit exponential properties due to feedback loops, and most importantly because it is a symptom of our exponentially-growing society.

    Action today is worth much more than the same action 4 years from now, so no, I will not sit idly and remain quiet.

    Meanwhile, kratom is being banned. People use it to step down off of harder opioids, but if the ban goes through, many people will be back on heroin and pills. Great job, DEA.

    Gerrymandering needs to go. First and foremost.

    Institutionalized fact checking. It would be a non-partisan body that would try to be as unbiased as possible while reigning in the wild claims of candidates. A centralized bank of ideas and truth. It would penalize repeating a lie.

    I'd also love to see centralized government website that candidates can post their platforms and proposed budgets to. Featuring a direct comparison of candidates, and a function where you could plug in your own personal information and values and it would show how well the candidates align. It would of course need to be open source, and agreed upon by both sides to reduce bias.

    Neshaminy Creek - County Line IPA Its what I'd consider to be a perfect IPA. It is terrific from a can, but on draft it's sublime. Local to me too.

    I also really dig New Glarus - Spotted Cow. I'm going to Wisconsin - specifically Lambeau Field - this weekend, so I'll be on the hunt for this glorious brew.

    I have switched my morning caffeine to a tablet, cheaper and quicker and cleaner preparation. But I'll get a coffee every few weeks as a treat, I really dig La Colombe's cold brew. Cream and simple syrup.

    When I'm hungry and without cravings, there's no excuse not to go healthy. Salad, rice bowl, etc.
