I have a 145 kg bench press with 17 inch biceps. How about you?

Yeah no people like you say that yet shelter children from seeing graphic images of where meat comes from. It’s it ain’t so bad then you’d think there would be more pride in it. But animal cruelty is actually one of the weaker arguments for

I feel like most people are like one or two a-ha insights away from veganism. Intelligence and awareness definitely has a spectrum across the animal kingdom but I’m not so sure about sentience itself. Do fish feel pain? Do insects experienc

Netflix bores me to tears (I’m into stuff like Criterion and Kino) but I begrudgingly have to admit that they offer a ton of kids shows. Disney+ is better quality but they too don’t have a lot to offer, or didn’t three months ago, in terms

Totally agree with you as well. I’m just saying that two minutes vs 20 for coleslaw isn’t quite right. A mandolin can process quite a bit, too. I absolutely loath cutting julienne carrots in a kitchen and the robot croupe is great at that f

you’re forgetting time for cleanup, assembly, put everything back, move shit out of the way, precut veg into pieces which fit in the machine.. etc etc. Specialized equipment in a kitchen is all about the time trade offs.

I’ve worked in the kitchen, not as long as you!, and yeah it’s not easy. Most obnoxious part is service staff tend to make more money.

I don’t have any hard data to point you towards but quite a few people self report that they cannot visualize images at all. Most people do but like all things related to the mind there is a spectrum where in the extreme you can find peopl

“my brain's attempt at avoiding insanity” Don’t overthink it. Some people have a stronger ability than others to synthesize sensory data. It’s more related to lucid dreaming, not insanity.

A musician buddy told me it’s because your mind craves the pattern and to see the song through to the end to find out how the tonics and keys play out. Also, modern pop songs are designed to be catchy. It’s not common to be able to hear mus

Are you speaking from experience?

I can’t help but feel you’ve never tried any? You can have out of body experiences across dimensions of awareness, speak to very strange beings, visit domed realms of self-revolving forms.. like just try and willpower that kind of thing nex

I loved both. I think BotW is the greatest open world for immersion and gameplay. It only lacks in the story department and the ending is weak. I think it’s a great game but I wouldn’t want every open world game to copy it. Like I’m playin

I recently got a 32 inch LG monitor with 144hz refresh rate for about $375. It’s qhd/2k, and VA panel.. honestly I’m in love with it. At the store I had a really difficult time seeing a big difference from my display or a 4k 27 inch.

I used to be really shy with trust issues.. If I’m to be brutally honest I still am at times BUT doing a lot of psychedelics, though especially MDMA, have given me some insight into social behaviour which I do act upon with success. I feel

I live in Taiwan and the bakeries and store bought bread here are quite bad. There is the occasional tangzhong/Japanese milk bread which is ok but everything is bland or overly sweet with a very loose crumb. It’s all the same enriched

If it’s possible to lose your ability to tell the difference between Fantasy and reality merely by taking drugs or by willing it, perhaps it’s also easy for something to inject itself into reality as a wolf in sheep‘s clothing. Psychedelics

I meant more from training hard for long term. Most people are not at this level or pushing that hard. Normal people would definitely benefit from lifestyle changes outside of the gym if they are tired and worn out.

I always feel there are some methodology issues in sports science studies like small sample sizes or strange metrics. While I do agree with you that sustained, high level activity requires and burns more calories, I think that the advice co

I actually have an alpha smart neo. For a few months I really liked it which is why I’m considering a free write. Unfortunately, one day the batteries popped out of it and I lost a few weeks of writing, because the memory requires steady po

I’m super interested in getting a Free Write Traveller for creative writing but it’s hard to justify the price. There’s an interesting interview with the Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami where the interviewer was asking why he doesn’t jus

Maybe the government is trying to discourage awareness or curiosity into their own back doors, trojan horses, and spyware in every computer and phone. Powerful legislation in that direction may open doors that the government would remain to

Pixar has already released production ready, rigged models of the toy story characters as well as the kid’s bedroom. You can download them into blender or maya as assets and animate them into scenes.

Just buy a used copy and keep it around the house. It’s a difficult book but not that bad. The hard parts are the stuff about turn of the century Irish politics which no one outside of Ireland really thinks about too much (which you may be

Which actually adds value to Masterclass because really what kind of an education could one get from Netflix? I’ve thought for years that netflix could/should really do something interesting with education. I’d love some high quality

Philip K Dick is my favourite author. I’ve read Joyce, Faulkner, Nabokov, Pynchon, McCarthy, Gaddis, Beckett.. like I’m pretty familiar with classics and literature and have read loads of SF as well, but PKD remains my #1.

I was just talking to someone who came back from working in Shanghai and that’s not what she told me but it’s very possible she misunderstood my question.

I live in Taiwan. Very, very few people here are pro-PRC. Tons of Taiwanese people love China and culturally consider themselves Chinese (to be clear, not Chinese citizens.) The vast majority of people disagree on if they should either give

Visually distracting.. a loss of control in design.. a reminder of Apple when you are displaying unrelated content.. A live show doesn’t need the visual art to have an orange dot. Im surprised you can’t see how that could matter.
