So random thought here, is the US’s bad history with slavery a direct result of European colonialism? Like I’m not saying it’s all Europe’s fault, but Europe did export many racist things(?) over to the US. Like they brought over the institution of slavery, France invented a racist caste system for it’s colony based directly on how closely descendant a person is from a European. Many plantations were growing cash crops to ship back to Europe.

I’m not trying to absolve the US in its actions, but try to understand how it got there in the first place.

Also the best way to learn the truth is to say something wrong on the Internet, so tear my musings apart I guess.

Burry yourself in manure as Hippocrates intended!

That’s sick! Will you also do back to back long runs at some point? How long will your taper be? How much elevation is in your 50k?

I feel like you’re getting pushback because your definitions. Do you think you could define, open source, free, libre?

Why does software licenced under the gpl not fall under open source? What problems do you have with the OSI’s definition open source.

Just listened to it. Yeah I get it

That’s why I bring the cute women mountain biking, and then they complain when we have to bike up a hill…

My current goal is to get up to running 60 miles (96.5km) per week. I’ve been doing the only raise your mileage by <=10% every week, so this is week 3 and my goal is 38 miles (61km). I’ll be taking a slower week next week, I’ve been told you should have a smaller week every 4 weeks. I’m not sure how I feel about starting to run twice a day.

I blew out my Altras last week on my long trail run. Not sure if they were just weak or I kicked a root, both are possible.

Also sort of training for a beer mile, so I’m doing more speed work than normal. I normally don’t do speed work…

I really want to make a joke about C, but I’m not a very good programmer. Maybe:

“A magical tome that makes you feel insecure.”

It’s tough for me to go without snacks in a day. I genuinely cannot imagine what losing 250 lbs is like. dudes got some serious willpower for that.

Folk punk sounds like a really interesting genre. Do you have any recommendations?

I mean I’ve seen more than a couple of shows at my local waterhole, and the price has been between free and $20. The $20 one was Moonhooch and absolutely worth it!

If you like listening to live music, it’s there, but it’s not T-Swizzle.

There is the old saying that “People don’t quit jobs, they quit bosses.” My advice is to go to therapy first, I think the question will sort itself out after that.

I thought they were talking about the lamprey project, but no! Nexus has their own cross platform launcher downloader thing. Super stoked!

Boiling at atmospheric pressure generally takes much longer to sterilize than boiling at like 15 psi. I was mostly curious about how sterile we should be.

Would it be better to pressure sterilize it? Or would using distilled water be sufficient?

For outdoor survival stuff (like my avalanche beacon) they say you should only use the disposable ones. It’s probably got to do with cold tolerance or lifetime.

For Avalanche beacons you’re supposed to replace the battery after it gets below 95% charge.

Same, except the hangxiety says something completely different. Don’t drink much anymore.

I hold no allegiance to Singer, I was merely using him as an example since he is a well known moral philosopher. But now I’m curious, what’s the tea, why is he so bad? What makes him deserving of the title human garbage?

Hey don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of people that need to touch grass, there’s some areas that I have ignorant opinions about. But the best way to fix that is to have constructive mature conversations with real people.

Ps. Carnivore diet is silly and leaves you with less energy than 4 well rounded meals a day, even if it is consistent. Smaller complete meals throughout the day can give you more consistently high energy than ketosis ever will.

Wildermyth is a weird game that comes up with really interesting procedurally generated stories as you play through the life of an adventurer.
