If you are wanting to learn more Linux internals AND create something maintainable, you can create your own distro using Yocto/Bitbake. LFS teaches you all about Linux internals, but kind of leaves you to twist in the wind afterward. I would argue that Yocto exposes those internals AND gives you the ability to maintain the distro you've created (roll your own packages, pull in kernel patches/versions/modules, scan for applicable CVEs, etc.)

Or Gentoo sounds cool. Maybe an easier intermediate step before rolling your own.

The articles I catch about tick diseases cite global warming changing ticks' active season and breeding patterns, not overabundance of host animals. Not that I'm disagreeing, necessarily. I see lots of deer and rabbits, anecdotaly, more than would normally roam together if active predators were around. The urban hawks and foxes do at least seem to be taking advantage of the rabbit buffet in my neighborhood (I see them regularly, which is amazing), but yeah, no wolves roaming my suburbs. What's your theory as to why under-predation isn't getting cited? Families just wouldn't be ok with living in proximity with wild wolves so it's just not a solution that can be presented by media?

Agree with this for most folks (using on hands or feet) but if you gotta cover more surface area it can get gone. My 8yo kid had a rash on his thighs and back and we used up a tub pretty quick.

My area needs this sooooo bad. We have one of the highest Lyme disease rates in the country. Unfortunately, Alpha-gal disease is now also in this area, so even with this vaccine, every family walk even near the woods or fields still has to be followed with full body and hair inspections. Every time. So many ticks... Ugh.

Yes, that was part of the argument, but not the core part, sorry if that was distracting. Social-sexual interaction really clouds all the preassociations people have with dance and layers in a shame element. Dance as a proxy/secondary sexual fitness characteristic creates a false conditional associated with its absence.

I should have emphasized more that even when performed in isolation, dance won't necessarily tap emotional pathways that aren't pre-wired or preconditioned. Proprioceptive sensitivity, exertion (endorphin sensitivity), even aerobic fitness will have a large effect on efficacy of this proposed emotional regulatory effect, and those are largely genetically pre-determined. Some people just won't benefit much from it and shouldn't be shamed if it doesn't "fix them", as if they aren't in touch with themselves or "close minded". Maybe being jaded by stuff like this is making me sound "red-pilly". I'll have to be more careful, thanks for that. There have been lots of pop psychology "cures" like these. "Scream Therapy" comes to mind from the eighties. Varied success, really depending on the individual.

All that to say: If it works for you, great. But don't make people do it and then shame them when they aren't magically fixed. (I know that's not what you, particularly, are saying)

Same here. There was a window of a couple of months when some NC background process wasn't running reliably in Android, but that got fixed (a year ago?) and it's been rock solid before and since.

Which part? That people can be different? I know religion and sexuality can be triggering, so there's some risk drawing parallels there, granted. Maybe a less controversial comparison might be "an ear for music" or a "sense of direction"? Something with a both nature and nurture components.

GenX tech job nostalgia trip. Thanks for posting!

Dance is like religion or sexual orientation: You can force it to some extent, but you gotta be pre-wired for it. Not everyone wants it as much or the same way. Sure, some enjoy it, and even profit from showing themselves off socially and getting that attention, but it shouldn't be always required or shamed.

Given the current rate of obesity, starvation will take a loooong time.

That picture's probably old enough to drive.
