After going through a bunch of merino socks over several years I'm back to bulk packs of basic wool socks for pretty much all outdoor activity. The $20 a pair merino socks are just not that much better than the 2$ a pair basic wool s

On a day to day basis it usually isn't a lot of excess calories eaten either, but over a year or 10 those small discrepencies can add up.

I was taught this in a defensive driving class I took in my teens. Then I was ticketed a couple years later for backing into a space.

Posts that rise quickly and generate many comments in a short period of time on HN tend to fall quickly as well, as posts that follow such a pattern are typically inflammatory in nature.

It seems like it takes far more resources to knock these balloons out of the sky than it does to set them adrift.

I was fortunate to grow up in the 80s, I was allowed to freely roam the neighbourhood, but spent most of my summer days at the playground because it was awesome (aka dangerous). I credit a great deal to the formative '9 lives' ski

When you get old enough, not much is novel anymore. Depth is where it's at. All the same stuff but with a richer appreciation for the subtlety, nuance and variety in things that might all seem the same to the less experienced.

I don't see the practical difference between that and having a real human deliver fake news. The practical difference will come when the fake news is tailored to the biases of each individual viewer.

When in high school, early nineties, I got into the habit of going to the library and spending hours working through stacks of periodicals. Before I could read I systematically worked my way through my grandmother's 30 year Nat Geo col

I've been a rock climber for 4 years, and likewise, I've been preoccupied with keeping it down and never let it get out of control. I never used to stand on the scale everyday, but now I do. Before I started climbing I burnt off 2

Discipline is merely the embrace of long term goals for which the expected reward is delayed, and at the expense of short term desires. Motivation still comes first. You can't discipline yourself if you aren't motivated to do so.

If we've guessed that the number will be in the mid to high 20s, then 27 is the only number one could logically arrive at. 24, 25, 26, and 28 are easy to eliminate because 19,863 is neither an even number nor a multiple of 5. That&#x27

Immediately after claiming there isn't a single solution, you went on to offer only a single solution, while dismissing the several solutions offered by the parent.

I solved it deductively pretty much the way you did, but I wouldn't have approached it that way at all if I couldn't assume that the cube root of 19,683 would be a whole number.

Much of today's "counterculture" I suppose was more mainstream back in the 60s. Outsiders, delinquents, atavists and reprobates of many sorts are grouped together with, and generally accepted by the prevailing counterculture,

The fact that it feels unsafe is what makes it safer. You're prompted to slow down and pay attention to what's in front of you.

OD on standup comedy. Absorb their abilities. The good ones are all excellent at telling stories with brevity, humour and suspense. They can tell a story about tying their shoes and make it engaging and memorable.

I've been in condition for these things in the past, but over a winter of mostly just walking, light cycling and gym climbing my legs and cardio had suffered. It's explosive training, my muscles hurt afterwards, and I needed 3 day

Last few times I've done it was sprinting on stairs. Typically I'll do a 10 minute warm-up, and then 3-8 sprints, 20-40 seconds each, with ~3 minute rests in between. However I'm not super particular about protocols. I just g

A practice amongst Olympians across many disciplines is to spend the first year of their 4 year training cycle focused exclusively on building a foundation of strength.

I think what the parent meant by "no dietary changes" is that they didn't have to exercise any special discipline over their diet. If I'm exercising regularly with sufficient intensity my appetite will go up, yes, but I

The article is directed towards elite, competitive athletes who are already in shape and have a training history. At that level, yes, of course there is more to it than a few short sprint sessions each week. For about 15 years I've bee
