Yeah I bet there’s something deeply different about the collective psychological impact of being trapped because of an ostensible bad decision (the wrong major) vs simply having no…

Plus, some aspects of Chinese society make the end impact of youth dissatisfaction worse than in the US. For one, the CCP's rule and legitimacy are tightly coupled with performance…

Huh? Delicate? Where are you getting that “consensus” from? Their most delicate stuff is the Goretex, and that’s delicate only in the sense that you need to wash it regularly to av…

decades :) If we had known how fleeting the glory of the early 2010s internet would be, with everything ad-free and seo still comparatively rudimentary, would that have made it eas…

I agree in general, but not for beginners. If you’re some college kid whose idea of form comes from books and YouTube, odds are you’re doing something so wrong that you’ll tweak yo…

That is fair and I didn’t know that! Thanks for the info. Dude made a lot of money off of it for not being the inventor :) Now that you mention it, SL is probably a great program i…

I would describe it differently, but I share your general take. The main weakness of SS is that once it gets heavy you really need professional feedback, because your form will beg…

Been powerlifting for 15 years and I strongly disagree. Stronglifts basically aped Starting Strength with minimal tweaks to justify separate branding, and only caught on over SS be…

I’m gonna try to not write like a jerk here, but OP is pretty grating, so I’m sorry if I fail. Parent didn’t say so explicitly, but there’s really no blog post you can write that i…

I went to a school like this for most of my youth and I’m with you. The only real strategy is to be lucky, whether it’s by having good parents or by incidentally avoiding the abund…

Ahh I’ve done so much research here and tried so many different devices. * the Kindle Scribe has a great feeling, but the software is lacking, particularly around the writing exper…

Blood Meridian is getting all the praise, and that’s probably right, but I’d put The Crossing right up there with it. The last scene with the crippled dog conveys so much about the…

If you’ve read his final two books it’s incredible clear how fascinated he is by math, physics, and their interaction at philosophy. Stella Maris is basically just a long explorati…

I’m surprised you do it before bed! I find that especially with edibles, using thc too close to bed makes me sleep deeply but wake up groggy. Typically I need an afternoon nap the …

I think they've just stopped updating the cemetery page. Google killed Stadia this year.

I also don’t want to argue at length. But I don’t think we need to! I think we’re on the same page. If you’re into indie games, where a new game can challenge what a genre even mea…

While this may be true-ish of the mainline Call of Duty games, it is very not-true of Warzone. Warzone was an immensely popular free-to-play Battle Royale game, released at exactly…

Haven’t had that problem with calls. People have had to learn how to politely end conversations probably about as long as we’ve been using language. Once you learn that, the calls …

I’m having trouble following. Presumably the person you’re interrupting is also doing serious-business-focus work. First off, since you’re the one interrupting them, common courtes…

He does :) hope he doesn't mind me sharing from his Patreon: > I myself don't even own any traditional watches, so the topic was very new to me. Thankfully, it was easy to understa…

After using Android for 10 years, a similar experience made me switch. I'd just bought a Pixel 5, and I received a call from a pizza delivery driver. I say I received a call becaus…

The context doesn't change things at all. If you own Pornhub and the same non consensual videos are being uploaded repeatedly, despite complaints from those depicted in the videos,…

Well, if you use Bluetooth you're no longer using the DAC inside the DAP, so it's not "driving" the headphones in the sense that GP meant. That said, most DAPs support bluetooth th…

Battery life? Usability? Renaissance?? Have I been trying the wrong DAPs? I'm also really into single-purpose electronics. My whole library is FLAC, so these players should be righ…

I'd been eagerly following Kotlin since it was announced in the early 2010s, and could hardly contain myself when I finally got to try it out in real life about a year ago. But... …
