Have you ever noticed how inflation metrics are always finding ways to ignore how housing and rent has gone up much faster than wages? Pretty much all the important things in life have gone up more than stated inflation. I don't care t

Yes.... I have been exclusively an anaerobic athlete for the past two years and my aerobic fitness has dropped to a shockingly low level. But I am oddly comfortable at 180-190bpm I am slowly building in more aerobic cardio into my training

Yes the Shinkansen is such a civilised experience! I basically travelled direct to Tokyo from Nozawaonsen straight from the slopes and it was comfortable and not stressful in a way flying could never be.

On other gaming boards "Ubisoft" has become a catch all phrase for describing when said game has descended into hollow unfun busywork to pad out the game / ensnare players in that hamster wheel. Most recently FFVII Rebirth&#x

As a Clojure developer who did write some Racket, there is a satisfying purity to Scheme (at least to me).

There was a brief period where it was fairly attainable to have a family supported by a single parent which meant one parent had the time, energy and head space to do those kinds of things for the children and also attend to other family af

My friend told me this like 15+ years ago. I was skeptical but it really works. I then just use a file to take a bit of the edge off until its a curve

Funny story - I used to live somewhere very central in London. I noticed there was this one spot that always had something there. After living there for about 2 years I knew it was THE SPOT. So when it was my turn to move out, I had to get

Giving it away for free is a nightmare because you get time wasters - better to charge even a nominal amount which will weed out people who feign interest because they're FOMO for something that is free. You can always decide not to ch

Yeah or the acoustics of the recording. I used to be able to guestimate who was the pianist for a given recording and I'm pretty sure acoustics factored in as much as the actual pianism

To add to this, before playing musicians usually set themselves up which will also include counting themselves in. I'm sure if you're very experienced with playing with orchestra or chamber (as Uchida and my friend are) then there

Yes jamming is true. I was once at a party with a bunch of classical musicians and they started sight reading the Mendelssohn trio using an iPhone for the score - thanks be to IMSLP

No that was exactly the whole point. The first note. My friend was also a professional and was also baffled by this. Uchida is famously fastidious. She has 5 pianos at home, no one is allowed to touch them and she allegedly knows whether so

This does not surprise me - the attention to detail that professional musicians play with is astounding. A friend had a lesson with Mitsuko Uchida and she would correct his tempo from hearing the first note. I wouldn't believe it if it

I always get a reality check when I encounter people who find boxing brutal. Reminds me how normalised I am to the martial arts world. Boxing is beautiful so are many of the other martial arts, but there is something just so magical about

Is taiji a combat sport - this fighter claims it is, although it looks a lot like sanda to me https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rRGrzPU0zDY&pp=ygUQdGFpIGNoaSB... I think taiji gets a bad rap. Although I haven't done ex

Truthfully, I don't know. There's some selection bias involved but anecdotally there is a culture of mutual self preservation because of MT being a career and also the relentless schedules. It's almost like there's an

I know it's not a dichotomy but I think these days I'd take that model over the opposite where behind every politician is a company and with government you are always dealing with companies behind it.

It's weird though - I love watching parkour which is the riskiest of risky sports in some ways but when it comes to stuff like NFL I think it needs more regulation around head trauma. I think if someone seriously injured themself doing
