Or if you’re ambitious, you practice in front of the busiest footpath and get all of the embarrassment of failing in front of an audience out of the way early.
So nothing can phase you later when you perform.
There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

171·9 个月前I do what I call “productive procrastination”.
I allow myself to procrastinate by doing something else instead that’s also necessary to do.
Of course, “necessary” is a slippery term.
But what definitely doesn’t fall under it is doom-scrolling, day-drinking and wikipedia rabbit holes.This actually lets me be pretty productive throughout the day, as long as I have tasks I can push back endlessly.
Like, I haven’t brought my finances and investments in proper order in over 10 years.
Which probably cost me a 5-digit amount in lost profit over that time frame.
But I’m fortunate enough to not feel it and accept things like this as my ADHD tax.
It would take a couple hours, but would involve decisions and it never becomes urgent.
Would it be weird if you were in a park and a grown up man was there juggling?
No. It would be depressing if I was in a park and no one was there juggling, or trying to learn to ride a unicycle, or failing to slackline, or setting up a tent for the first time before going on an adventure, or doing yoga, or practicing artistic moves.
To me, that’s just what people do in a park. That’s (also) what parks are for.When you start, for the first 5 minutes or so, people will look at you, maybe they’ll even point at you, maybe even laugh.
But unless you live in a really shitty depressing place, that laugh will be one of joy, and they’ll look and point at you cause they are interested.Source: I did all those activities in parks. No one ever laughed at me, and I never got the feeling they thought I’m a weirdo.

181·9 个月前Then do thing A.
Hahaha, thanks that’s so easy!
The real disqualifying factor would likely be that he doesn’t have a net worth above $100 million.
Yes, civilization ends if the power is out for weeks.
The politicians have thought of this, but “people can’t pay for groceries anymore” isn’t the top priority.The situation will be like a war zone or a failed state. If the government can’t restore power, its money will also be worthless, electronic or not.
It’s a bike with only one gear with a freewheel. Lets you coast without pedaling.
They’re more popular than fixed gear where I live, cause you can ride them like a normal bicycle.
The reason is less maintenance and fewer things to break. I guess they work well for utility cycling in flat areas, but some people are crazy enough to compete in Mountainbike races with them.
One can also have endless arguments about the color turquoise. Is it rather green, or rather blue?
The answer to that question is “no”.
It’s turquoise. You wouldn’t argue about whether orange is yellow or red, either.
Look, just don’t, OK?
Fixed Gear advantages:
- can slow down by pushing back on pedals -> almost no brake pad wear
- almost no maintenance
- can do trackstands and ride backwards
- unique, fun riding style
- completely quiet drivetrain
- less interesting to thieves
Drawback:
- can’t switch gears
Geared Bike advantage:
- can switch gears
Drawbacks:
- basically the inverse of everything above
Single-Speed bikes can do none of the things fixed gear bikes can do, and also can’t switch gears.
Single-speed bicycles suck.
They combine the drawbacks of a geared bike with the drawbacks of a fixed gear bike.
Just tried setting no country, then ducked “wine”.
Results were definitely still from my country first.
When I set display language to US English, results came up from the US, instead.
When I set it to French, it shows French websites at the top.
So the language you set affects what websites you are shown in the results. That sucks.But you can actually just turn off ads in the settings. That’s pretty fucking neat!

18·10 个月前You’d need metallurgy which was only invented in the process of building bigger naval guns, much later.
The issue was pressurizing the steam, which wasn’t possible in the middle ages. You had no rubber for seals, no steel that would hold, and no tools to drill holes precisely enough.
That’s why the Romans already used steam for simple parlor tricks but it couldn’t be made to do actual work until the modern era

5·10 个月前I become a scribe or accountant, since I can write cursive, do math, and know some Latin.
There was a monastery within walking distance of my home at that time, so that’s where I’d head first.


Then provide an “other” option with a text box instead.
Make entering some text mandatory if you click it.
No one gravitates toward that.
Besides, a “none” option can just be discarded when you analyze the data.
If all your boxes are social media sites, you have no idea which ones are poisoned by bad data, and by how much.
