I'm with you on this one. Sure, money or anything can be used as a test to determine someone's character. But you can do so without putting money on the line and save yourself some headache. One way to determine someone's cha

Gotta agree. I kinda dread running (but will do it, and like having done it after the fact but during the runs is another story). But in terms of being able to run anytime (with the right layering), anywhere (more or less, so long as you ca

You may be one of those types who enjoy interval training more than longer, steadier, more "laid back" efforts. Apparently, if you match it to your fitness/ recovery levels (and goals if you have them), doing quality over qua

Sounds like you're doing the wise thing by starting therapy. Maybe you already know this but it might take a bit of trying out a few therapists/ counselors before you land on one that seems a good fit. As to the voice in your head

I feel like in its heyday, Supreme was selling coolness to a very targeted audience (rich kids who wanted to be seen as having trendy taste with tons of money but both of these expressions not associated with old world wealth, but rather sk

That's great to hear. I kinda wanna get my hands on a LeMond Zurich (or better) in my size in that fabled 853 if it ever pops up. Got to test ride one super briefly and I immediately liked it.

I've seen some seasoned looking folks on Saeco's blowing by me and my buddies on our more modern goods. If that kinda nostalgia coupled with the lore of steel I'd be all over it.

Appreciate the info on the forks. Wish I paid more attention to them (and had more access to various ones). All your testing & experimenting & getting to sample the goods sounds absolutely fun though.

I've tried the following: • steel, straight-gauge Hi-Ten from the mid 90's • steel, double-butted, Columbus SL from the late 70's/ early 80's • steel, double-butted, Tange 1 from the late 80's • steel, not sure

So I'm a bit extreme. I'll either write quotes from a book by hand or type it out on some word processor. But there are times I've typed out or written out entire chapters from a book. And one book I almost transcribed pretty

I agree. My generous take is that whoever wants to go this deep towards language policing has experienced real trauma that has debilitated them. That's something I can view compassionately. But perhaps in having been traumatized and vi

Another drop in this bucket. I read it once and took some notes. Haven't looked back on either the source nor my notes (until now!), but the book came to me at a time when I was dealing with a lot of inner-organizational bureaucracy on

I'm sure you've fielded this Q many times. I don't wanna be a full-on hater of crypto. And I do wanna hear of use-cases that are relevant and intuitively understandable or at baseline, usable, to laymen. What utility do you s

Secrets & blackmail are the first things that come to mind. That's a shit-ton of leverage to manipulate someone/ some org., in the wrong hands. Not saying this is or isn't the case, but seems common enough across history

I'm kinda like this as well. I'm not a misanthrope, and still enjoy the company of people. But. I used to status-jockey and be unconsciously and consciously obsessed with all of that, no matter the arena/ context/ subcul

Someone else posted a link from outofthefog, but I came across pretty much the same set of principles as "grey rocking" but outofthefog called it "medium chill." It took about... 5 years? Maybe more? For me to learn to u

I'm not the person you're responding to, but to me it seems like a straightforward and commonly used technique. The sentence is intentionally crafted for comedic effect via sarcasm, given the general audience that comprises HN, an

"There has been a lot of secrecy enshrouding the whole game for a long time." Now I'm imagining a Truffle Mafia/ Mushroom Cartel, with mushroom goon squads, fungi warehouses, and done up in gaudy suits & ostentatious

well said. very simple, clear, and observable in reality. i feel like i've said this in a more roundabout way to friends, fam, and myself (when trying to wrap my head around all of this to explore it or steer clear).

Not saying I disagree with your concerns. But didn't Banksy say something similar about young artists being funneled into the for-profit corporate propaganda machine, trading their art skills and unique perspective (and expression of t

I don't disagree with you. Whatever you put your hope into, coupled with whatever you believe is true about existence – like even nihilism or solipsism or Darwinism or syncretism, etc. etc.), and however those hopes and beliefs lead to

Not the person you're responding to. But I concur. How will one separate money from state and then protect one's state-separated money without themselves becoming a "state" of sorts, that then is fused to their money? An

This is pretty much what it sounds like to a laymen like me. It's aggravatingly complex, with like, 18 points of user error failure points. And even if I quadruple checked, I'd wanna check 17 more times after that, and I'd st

I like your style. As someone who isn't particularly invested in finding great coffee, but does appreciate a good cup if it's not out of my way, what qualities do you look for in a fantastic cup of coffee?

I'm not that old, or have a super long history with cycling. But out of the handful of bikes I've ridden, I def prefer double-butted steel (over straight-gauge Hi-Ten, straight-gauge 4130, 90's aluminum, modern aluminum, mode

Valid. Not everyone's cut out for all positions/ roles indeed. But that's interesting and worth considering: returning to natural media. This is something I personally feel strongly about, but do not think will find any tract

Thumbs up. Colloquialisms from my dayjob spilling out into non-job related convos. I'll take the note.

I'm all for sandboxing, experimenting, trying things out and casting things off. What I'm pointing at are people who think they're actually considering ideas as if they're trying to better themselves or understand a situ

Not sure if this is what you're pointing at, but I feel similarly about those who very much enjoy talking about new and different ideas/ perspectives, but are loathe to test out, live out, and integrate new and challenging ideas i
