I never played these kinds of programming games, I avoid them like the plague. I just know they would ruin my life. I don't even want to watch videos about them, that'd be like trying a drug just to see what it's like. Nope n

Be careful about doing too much pushing without pulling, though. The bodyweightfitness subreddit is full of people asking about doing a high number of pushups daily and people always warn about imbalances, shoulder impingement, etc.

At the risk of the suggestion being a spoiler in and of itself, the movie The Man From Earth is basically about this topic.

Gravity and magnetism are two phenomena that I always imagined could actually be explained in higher dimensions (except we can't see those higher dimensions so it'd be just speculation). Imagine two circles in 2D that repel each o

In Spain we get the worst version of this. Media organizations (the equivalents to MPAA or RIAA) get a percentage of the price of all storage devices (hard drives, flash memory, anything) that are sold, implying that they might be used for

In the tweet linked, they explain that in the Czech Republic there's been a social movement around making your own masks, giving them out, etc.

The problem I always see with using taxation to solve problems (to prevent too many people from doing X), is that you're filtering by socioeconomic status. You're making it so that only the richer people can do it, and the poorer

Could you list these exercises you're talking about? Just the names, no need to describe them.

I think I read it has to do with having astigmatism. Which I have, and I also prefer light mode for the reasons you state.

What do you mean by "free country" as opposed to Canada?
