Little pit stops are less tiring as well. Like if you have to quickly unload or load from a bus or car, get over a fence, etc. A lighter bike makes it feel like less momentum is lost in those moments.

At the risk of the perception that I'm making a false equivalence or reducing the importance of being mindful of the types of suffering you point out (I don't intend that, and I'm as outraged by the problem you mentioned), bu

Thanks for taking a stand and sharing your experience. That takes bravery. And thanks for acknowledging that that is not always an option for all of us. For each one of those "No"s there are probably so many half-hearted and exasp

It's a real danger that we'll have to deal with on a sociological level soon. Atheism is on the rise. I'm not versed in atheism as it occurs in countries other than in the US, but it seems like we'll see new types of pro

It's super hard. I am so empathetic to what you're telling me. From the bits I've learned of you through this convo, you seem self-aware and intelligent. With those tools, I am confident you will always have equanimity near.

Hey that's an amazing point. Thank you for mentioning it. I definitely value freedom of thought above ritual. That's an aspect of the decision I had set aside as a conceit in order to allow myself to entertain it at all. I too was

I'll dare to be presumptuous and share what has helped me the most, above Buddhist studies, psychoactives, meditation, yoga, journaling: just removing the idea of mortality from my brain. "Thanks I'm cured", right? I did

Same here. It's helpful insofar as any story can be helpful in the face of what we have to go through. Interestingly enough, although my wife shares the same beliefs as me in terms of religion and God, the stories that resonate most wi

This is a big factor in my insomnia. Not necessarily the fear that I'll die in my sleep (God willing, that's my preference in old age) but the realization that every night, I'm getting a little more and more acquainted with o

I'm rewatching Midnight Mass on Netflix with my wife. They have some very powerful monologues on death. This is one that occurred to me just now, when two characters are discussing what they believe happens after death: "When I di

That's good to know! The challenges you find must be myriad. It does sound fun.

It seems like some people fall into this trap if they manage to get into FAANG. I would be scared of that happening to me. It's like, your entire view of the industry was built around hitting the winner's podium, and once you&#x27

You sound awesome! I have my 2012 Specialized Allez flipped over in the living room. My wife will mention it any day now lol I had to replace a gear shifting cable, which was a nightmare. When I went to fill my tires, I realized the "a

Awesome tip! Thank you. Here's one, to remember the order of "square brackets then parentheses": "Parents are always right".

I love the idea of explaining a company's process as "deep work"! To me it resonates re Apple and I'm now intrigued on who else falls into that category. For some reason Google does not seem to fit, possibly because of X

Not to nerd snipe anyone (I'm having to stop myself as I write this) but couldn't you gather the star ratings of all of these sorts of repair centers/stores and get the overall average? It could be used as a sort of proximate

In addition, blockchain tech reduces the friction of obscuring money and data flows. This is good for unaccountable power. Government is not perfect, but it at least pretends to be accountable power.

I replaced the Open in Chrome step with Open in Safari. That should use the default browser either way, which I was unsure of when I created it. Does that help?

Thank you for the clarification. You've thought about this a lot. If a friend asked you for advice on how to help their struggling teenage son improve his self-control, what do you think you would say?

I am 100% with you there. The things that could be done to advance the creation, understanding and appreciation of music from that work is staggering. It's sad that it's stuck in amber.

Thank you for the positive feedback. You made my day. Your breakdown is a good window into the complexity of the systems involved here, and what's at stake. One looming fear I have, is that tools like VR headsets will make the coming t
