The vast majority of latin dance events are social gatherings first, dance events second. Tango doesn't have that draw.

I want to put extra emphasis on how technically demanding salsa is and how appealing it can be to autists (and how many of them you'll find at the average social/class). Your body,…

In my early days someone told me generating roads is a non-trivial problem and I thought that was bollocks so I spent 4 months smashing my head against a wall to prove them wrong! …

It has been a while since I read Nietzsche but what exactly does trekking off into the unknown or even certain death have to do with nihilism? Maybe active nihilism but even that w…

>Question is, do people think a certain artist or song is important enough to pay $5/month to individually? My sense is no, but perhaps... Abso-fucking-lutely! I pay $3.50 a month …

>and the reviews on the whole seem excellent I detest this take because Adam would have probably reviewed the interactions that lead to his death as excellent. Getting what you wan…

I cannot agree. Getting a Quake game up in the early 2000s could take hours worth of sitting in IRC pickup channels, if it happened at all. I don't feel publishers are at fault her…

I too prefered the text-davinci-001 from a storytelling perspective. Felt timid and small. Very Metamorphosis-y. GPT-5 seems like it's trying to impress me.

I've recently gotten back into math and I'm really struggling with your approach. I find it particularly difficult to get an accurate view of how well I'm doing and where I am. Mos…

The first site I clicked on a focaccia recipe and had to skip to the bottom of the page, past 7 paragraphs, 10 images and a video to find the actual list of ingredients. The second…

If you want to explore connecting with people I can highly recommend social dancing. >People hate small talk because it avoids this I don't believe that. You can connect with someo…

There is a significant distinction between a user mangled by a table saw without a riving knife and a user mangled by a table saw that came with a riving knife that the user remove…

I would have preferred if the author reasoned through why a filmmaker might make these decisions and/or offer feasible solutions. "This is wrong" does not seem helpful to an audien…

Kind of a pointless stance when trying to build that support infrastructure walks you into the same NIMBY-wall.

Wasn't it Feynman who said we will never be impressed with a computer that can do things better than a human can unless that computer does it the same way a human being does? AI co…

>the labor displacing effect of technology appears to be more than offset by compensating mechanisms that create or reinstate labor. I don't buy into this at all: >Assuming AI will…

Yep. Humidity will tank to 25% here in winter. I have two humidifiers fighting the HRV continuously when it gets cold. As I understand it an ERV controls moisture as well, but such…

Any community smaller than 200 people is going to have you typing !add in an mIRC channel and waiting 20 minutes during prime-time for a pickup game between 10 mismatched players. …

>epicycles all the way down I don't mind this idea at all! I'm the abyss staring into itself. That said I don't think digging into skulls until we identify the neurons that cause t…

I'm a professional dancer and music and freestyle are the most demanding aspects of dance by far. That said I'm also skeptical. Music and dance are being compared to "bicycle ergom…

The article wasn't saying "do what makes you happy". It was saying "if you do this you will not be happy". If I end up happy you don't get to loop back and go "Well that was the go…

>I'm skeptical that there's anything especially unhealthy about sitting at a desk even for long periods of time. What's more plausible to me is that back pain comes from having a w…
