And it only fires the laser once. The fire that starts does the rest.

Agreed. The message would be way too earnest without the absurdist elements. Come to think of it getting frustrated with our interaction with inanimate objects is completely absurd. DE is like the opposite of slapstick.

100% agree on Black Swan. Taleb sure loves Taleb.

Even before reading the article I took the ‘should’ in the headline as an encouragement rather than as a command.

Of course! Thank you. My rowing days are long behind me but when everything comes together there truly is no sport like it!

Thank you for all that detail! A tangential question: At elite levels how well does performance on an ergo translate to on water performance? I rowed reasonably successfully at a junior level and I was much faster in a boat than others that

Exactly! Offering to buy food rather than give the money they’ve asked for is just the worst kind of paternalism.

The confidence I gained from shaving my head far outweighed any real/perceived loss of attractiveness. Walking around trying to hide the fact I was going bald was soul destroying. Shaving it was owning it and it honestly set me free.

Not a deep answer like the others but watch the kids TV show ‘Bluey’. I won’t spoil it by trying to explain, but the mum and dad (dogs) do an amazing job of picking up on and embracing their kids games. It’s impossible not to have some of i

I grew up in the city I think you’re referring to I still remember approaching the city from the south and seeing the whole valley choked with smoke .

They're also popular among the hobbyist 3d printing community. Buy two, stack them on top of each other, then use Plexiglas sheets (or similar) between the legs of the top one and you have a cheap solution for enclosing a 3d printer.

Hedonism doesn’t need to be conflated with bad behaviour or rebelliousness. I think a splash if it now and then before you have too many responsibilities should be encouraged.

Just finished a job search with Vue as the framework I have most experience in. Can confirm 95% of jobs seem to be React. Vue seems to be seen as a good option for moving away from sort of previous mess or something that backend/'

Can't help but feel heartbroken for the kids in the photo at the top of that article.

At the time they did feel very much linked. You are right though, of course. I’m too old for any of that nonsense now anyway :)

I smoked when drinking (maybe 2-3 packs/week) throughout my 20s and if smoking wasn't a death wish I still would. I enjoyed smoking and I enjoyed the camaraderie of those who would escape outside the party or pub to escape the noi

Let’s set aside Roger specifically for the moment. But as a rough calculation lets call a mile 4 laps of a 400m oval. And to run four laps in 4 minutes you need to average 60 seconds/lap. As you say a 400m is about as far as it is poss

I think we're debating different sides of the same coin. I 100%, no-doubt, hand on heart agree that running something like 10 x 400 as a VO2 workout will get you fit as part of a balanced training program. The HIIT definition I'm

Thanks for replying, my comment above was a bit flippant and I just want to say well done on sticking with a training regime for such a long period of time. I've heard coaches say that, at a high level, being consistent and believing i

If HIIT training is what boosts endurance, why don't any elite marathoners train in this way? Why do they run ~100 mi or more each week, mostly at a low intensity?

None to Run looks great! The slower the progression the better for beginning runners in my (also totally unprofessional) opinion too. As a general comment, shin splints is the classic beginners too-much-too-soon running injury. Experienced
