If anyone is genuinely curious about this, they were indeed letting Russian gas through and stopped in 2025: > On 1 January 2025, Ukraine terminated all Russian gas transit through its territory, after the contract between Gazprom and Na

When I'm running a lot, I tend to eat less and healthier,* because I don't want to feel bloated or sluggish during the next run. Junk food loses its appeal to me. * With the exception of sugar cravings right after a run, which som

I appreciate the discussion. I'm always looking for ways to look better, although you wouldn't know it because I'm unkempt and wear old clothes. But fantasy me dresses really well. > and keep some of the sun off you! Thi

I bonked in the middle of a 100km ride on a rail trail through farmer's fields. I thought I'd had enough food, since the same amount was sufficient for the initial trip out a few days earlier, but it wasn't. It was the return

Even as a guy who wears pretty loose straight-cut jeans, having stuff in my pockets can look and feel weird. Especially my AirPods case. In jeans with slightly stretchy denim, the location of my phone is permanently etched into my jeans. I&

Interesting visualizations, but I don't understand what the thesis is. To me, the conclusion says: 1. Luxury fashion thrives on exclusivity, which is exclusionary. 2. Clothing size standards do not match diverse body types. 3. There is

Interesting, I am the complete opposite. I'm pretty optimistic for the world and humanity, but have rarely found that optimism in my own person.

The CoRecursive episode with SQLite creator D. Richard Hipp goes through it. I've linked to the part of the transcript that covers it, the key quote being: > We still maintain the first one, the TCL tests. They’re still maintained.

It's how I learned lower level programming. TempleOS is a lot of fun but the community around it is very 4chan/kiwifarms. I never jived with that. During the pandemic I was showing my buddies the game I'd made in TempleOS on

I never did the collision physics, but I used to love making graphical demos with "falling sand"-type simulations. One of the first was "rain" [1] by semi-randomly walking blue pixels down the screen and not clearing the

The game that impresses me with its performance is Noita, they managed to balance an "every pixel is simulated" physics engine and have it run quite well.

I remember thinking this after my 6th birthday. I must have picked it up from what adults around me were saying, but I just thought to myself "I guess this is what it's like getting older. When I was 5, I'd have just went up

That makes sense. Zooming into Warsaw (or most other cities) on the Żabka map, it's unbelievable how many there are: https://www.zabka.pl/znajdz-sklep/

I don't mind if it's not traditional – I'm not going to use bison after all ;) Though there were a variety of meats used. But ideally I'd have something I could take camping without refrigeration.

When I was in Poland, I was shocked by the number of Żabka convenience stores. They didn't look quite like Japanese combinis (from what I've seen online), but were leagues ahead of the typical North American convenience stores. Th

Yes, the difference is that tallow is solid at room temperature, so great for preservation. I was planning on making pemmican with it, but slicing, drying, and pulverizing hundreds of tiny strips of meat seemed like a lot of work. https:&#

That's one of the interesting paradoxes to me: everyone I know who's had therapy says you need to "shop around" and find the right fit. On the one hand, I feel this is right. With dentists and doctors, second opinions ar

I made it a few years ago. Tallow is trendy (and thus expensive), but you make it by rendering suet which is basically a throw-away product at butcher shops. Lots don't even bother selling suet, which is a pain. Rendering was just

Reminds me of the 1973 Toyota RV-2 concept car, with the back of the car being a giant sexy shag carpet. Look at this amazing (nude) ad in Penthouse: https://web.archive.org/web/20180408023557/https://mem

Being from rural Canada, I prefer the truck and snowmobile sizes of the 90s (but not their emissions, it's hard to breath when they drive by). All the options are so big now. Also, you may be married to Medjed: https://en.wi
