A bench for bench-pressing. It’s the single thing that I built and actually use. I built a lot of software and never cared to use it myself (it never solved my own problems, always a customer/user.. )

If work is for work, then why do we keep bringing politics to the workplace? I agree tho, work is for work. It's hard to draw the line when you spend at least 8 hours there, and go home keep working or checking slack and you build your

I'm interested to know why you transitioned away from IT, if that's something you can share :) Reason: strongly considering this for few months already.

This has been exactly my experience. The best music i discovered was by friend’s recommendation. Coincidentally enough, a particual individual called Eleni showed me a lot of interesting prog rock bands over the years. She is also from Gree

I read Seeing Like A State exactly around this time last year, and boy did I enjoy it. It somehow went well while reading Nassim Taleb’s Skin In The Game. One was an application of the other.

How about the taxes and costs of living compared to say Berlin & social welfare?

My thoughts exactly. I live in Berlin for ~6 years and my German is rather poor. All my friends speak English including the german ones and I don't see what would I have in common w/ someone who doesn't speak English at all.

I think you are referring to Mark Rippetoe’s suggested diet in his book Starting Strength. In which case, it is worth mentioning that this is suggested for skinny, 18 year old males and to be followed for the duration of the training progra

I cannot recommend this enough. The app is so simple and the workouts are around one hour (with heavy lifts). I highly recommend Mark Rippetoe's book Starting Strength[0] to learn the mechanics of the lifts. StrongLifts is a sorta rip

Either read, or put on my headphones to either play guitar or listen to music on my record player (this way I'm away from my screens). I'm almost never staying up late as I go to sleep at around 10pm every night.
