I’ve never run out of Codex tokens before, so it’s always felt essentially unlimited. At 4% remaining now with a day left! Uh oh. I don’t think my usage has changed much except that I’m running with /fast and Ultra more often.

It took decades of work, misogynistic attacks, and religious pious outrage for the suffragettes to win the right to vote, as men had since the conception of the country.
History: "A dramatic battle in the Tennessee House of Representatives ends with the state ratifying the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution on August 18, 1920. After decades of struggle and protest by suffragettes across the country, the decisive vote is cast by a 24-year-old representative who reputedly changed his vote after receiving a note from his mother."
Moms rule!
Is it any wonder most of those assholes that claimed to be Christians wanted women to stay home as a sperm bank?

I admired Anthony Bourdain. I consumed his interviews and read as many articles by him as I could find. I found “Kitchen Confidential” among the most inspiring books I’ve read.
When he killed himself, I came to think of his public persona as a lie, and stopped watching, listening to or reading him.
But now I think the public Bourdain was a character he created, played and tried to live, and I should resume appreciating his life and work.

“Short sleepers, who make up less than one per cent of the population, spend significantly less time snoozing without any apparent health consequences.” By Shayla Love at The New Yorker.
I envy these people — I need 8-9 hours. I get less than that most days, often as little as five, and that’s no fun.
Short sleepers are often lonesome, awake at night when there’s nobody around. Is that true for short sleepers who are also introverts? Or is that a combination that does not exist?
Maybe one day science will figure out a way to drastically reduce or even eliminate our need for sleep. But it’s a hairy problem — science doesn’t even know why we sleep, not really. So I’m not hopeful that’ll come in my lifetime.
