Not the OP but I’m guessing that it’s because humans in Africa were isolated in thousands of communities/regions for hundreds of thousands of years and evolved separately. Meanwhile the diaspora outside of Africa spread via select comm

+1 for Stamina, I use this app for apnea training for surfing. Wim Hof also produces a similar calming feeling, there are some good guided Wim Hof videos on youtube that are easy to follow.

I remember my teammates being extremely picky about which numbers they’d wear and I always caught grief for wearing #8 as a running back since it’s thought of as a QB number (Troy Aikman, Steve Young). In hindsight maybe they were on to som

This makes me sad because I moved to the Bay Area in 2021 and to me Big Basin is just a large burnt out piece of land. I spend a lot of time down there surfing and I don’t think the park has even reopened.

This works great until it doesn’t. Interest rates are rising and debt isn’t as cheap as it was. At some point it will be unsustainable but we just don’t know when. I fear that we will push the limits on this until it’s too late.

I’m still not sure this isn’t an April Fool’s joke. The cross pollination between these two organizations that will be jammed down fans’ throats will be insufferable.

Scrolled way down to find this answer. I also think this is the primary cause. If you have one kid you’ll be way more protective than if you have four.

In college my friend and I took the Amtrak from Austin, TX to NYC for New Year’s Eve. The journey took 50 hours riding in coach plus an 8 hour layover in Chicago. Amazing memories and a fun way to see the country.

Wow, very cool! I’m building almost the exact same thing but for public company investor relations decks as a side project. My use case stemmed from building decks in investment banking, very similar to yours.

There is a decent amount of surf on the gulf, especially if you like to longboard. I surfed ~50 days a year while living in Houston.
