Sure, and that's why I try to get at by expressing my admiration for people who dedicate themselves to a craft. But just because you've mastered making a Neapolitan pizza exactly to the specifications and definitions, does not n

There is something to admire when a person goes all-in on trying to perfect a method or recipe. Conversely, I also think a lot of people completely lose themselves in the process and forget when to say "enough is enough". It'

Sun exposure ages your skin, it's not just about skin cancer. Here's a famous example: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trucker-accumulates-skin-damage...

I got sunburned on an overcast day in Ireland, of all places. Walking around a whole day outside without anything covering my head turned out to be a bad idea.

Exactly! We need more efficiency, and heat pumps/air conditioners are already very efficient at what they do. Of course further efficiency improvements are welcome, but they are small gains. We need to look at where big gains can be ma

Is that really worse than car/truck exhausts? Horse manure is mostly dry and inoffensive, plus solutions to that problem have existed for hundreds of years in the form of bags hung from the harness, to collect the manure, which makes f

There's a certain amount of inflation that has happened to job titles. Previously, my last 4-5 job titles have included the word "manager", yet I have never performed any managerial tasks. My current title includes the word &

Only if you can get pure natural fibers like cotton. Having synthetic material woven in ruins the fabric for most reuse.

That's what I do, even though I run my own router. The pi-hole acts as both DNS and DHCP. It sets the DNS domain correctly via DHCP, unlike a lot of routers.

They very probably are. Still, you're exposing your taste buds to sweetness all day, which can mess with your perception of taste. Plus, it just tastes worse. I'd much rather have a single sugar-containing soda on the weekend, or

Frequent exposure to sweetness makes your taste receptors accustomed to it, like building up a tolerance. It's obvious by a simple experiment: cut out everything sweet (at the very least candy, sweets and desserts) for a couple of week

As an observation, we have become extremely accustomed to the unprecedented easy with which we can buy things, from a gigantic selection of vendors, levels of quality and design, and other (real or artificial) differentiators. Now that this

Absolutely, and if you only do two, add deadlifting. For the third mandatory exercise, I would add a body weight exercise, namely burpees, ideally strict pushup burpees. Great cardio and activation of the upper body in addition to the legs,

Like the other comment mentioned, you can widen your stance, so your belly goes between your thighs. An Indian-style squat with the thighs touching the calves already is a wide(ish) stance and puts the torso sort of between the thighs, so y

It's a question of ankle mobility, a lot of people have very tight Achilles tendons and can't do it without a lot of stretching, flexibility exercises and practice. Depending on how close you are to being able to squat with flat f

I've worked in IT for a decade and a half, and I just don't think there's the same room for the stereotypical "not a people" person, as there used to be. As awareness and importance of the field has grown, it has be

Agreed, the Indian squat is the one to go for. It's also the one small children naturally use, without even thinking about it.

by KozmoNau7 5y ago
In a proper deep squat, your thighs and calves are touching and your feet are flat on the floor, so there's not a lot of stress on the tendons. It's a surprisingly relaxing position, but a lot of people can't do it, because t

I appreciate that all prices in shops here also show the price per kg/liter or per individual unit in case of things like eggs. As a downside, it does lead to "crafty consumers" using the unit price as their highest priorit

The most blatant example I've seen of this was canned coconut milk. The standard product was 70% coconut and 30% water, the "light" and "calorie reduced" version right next to it was literally just 50/50 coconu

I've found that moving house can really make you take an extra look at all the stuff you have, and is a great opportunity to get rid of some of the accumulated junk. I've been living in this apartment for 13 years now, so I feel i

There are cool people with the seemingly uncanny ability to predict fashion, but it's a bit of a trick. They do something that's different and can be monetized, and the industry grabs on to that and tries to push it as The Next

No apologies needed at all! It's an extremely interesting subject of research, which may hold a large part of the explanation for the apparent health benefits of the Mediterranean diet :-)

The majority of chefs from countries bordering the Mediterranean would laugh at your claim that extra virgin olive oil is not suitable for frying. Obviously you shouldn't go using your fancy $100 bottle for deep frying, but mostly beca

Please don't assume that I don't know what I'm doing, that's very impolite. I seasoned the pan exactly as recommended: Very clean pan, stripped of previous seasoning, super thin layers of oil, barely visible on the surfa

For anything that has some level of moisture in it or is completely wet like eggs, you want the pan hot enough to show the Leidenfrost effect. Then you add an adequate amount of fat and crucially, the fat should also be allowed to preheat
