Quite a few times I've been mesmerized by his podcasts only to find out later its either mostly made up or a "classic" but totally discredited version of the story.
He really doesn't bother reading up on the latest and most accurate material for his topics.
It's the main reason why I stopped listening to him (the smaller one is that I will never get used to his grating accent).
The fat that this website is down and only links to their Discord is very ironic.
Judge me all you want. HN jet setters and growth hackers don't even cross my mind while I'm living my "easy life".
Disgusting person.
"Work harder peons"
You don't hold ground or support your allies with nukes.
For me, when I buy a new laptop and half the drivers aren't working, that's an immediate deal breaker.
I literally won't allow myself to get into that situation again, not for love or money.
I do, because desktop Linux is a pile of burning garbage. Do we really have to reiterate this point every time?
Never been happier in my job then the day I realized I can run my full Linux dev environment on Windows.
If you folks like spending your free time configuring Linux or virtual boxes on Windows, feel free to do so. But please don't act like "you just don't understand". I don't wanna debug the OS in my free time, I would rather go hiking.
>Abolish “irregular work” (part-time, temporary or contract labor with little or no benefits) and extend labor protections to all workers
Or maybe a fucking tv show told them to do it...
Reading these comments it seems America has forgiven him... I assure you the rest of the world won't forget...
Everything else, apart from its value as real estate, is just a historical curiosity...it doesn't matter
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Singapore
>Singapore law inherited from the British Empire prohibited sodomy regardless of sex. As such, heterosexual and homosexual anal or oral sex was illegal. In 2007, such sexual activity was legalised for heterosexuals and lesbians, but not for gay men.
Indeed the law was reviewed in 2019 and the government didn't see anything wrong with gay sex between men being illegal.
On the other hand, in Singapore, the act of sex between men is illegal(it's legal for women).
I have no clue where from his "decolonization" quotes are coming from. Is that supposed to be the general attitude towards music in UK universities?
> Nineteenth-century musical works were the product of an imperial society. The classical musical canon must be decolonised.
This is what you'll find written in Introduction to Music textbook at most UK unis? No? What is it then?
I realize the author is writing his blog for his own audience. But this story of some hinted-at, vast struggle between him and cancel-culture in the field of musicology is totally unknown to me.
So I do stretch and do mobility work especially hips, legs, shoulders, and take care of my posture and feet etc.
But it is a time commitment, and I do think that strength training is the first thing someone should focus on. Fixing issues from constant sitting is also a whole other topic.
Nothing transformed my life more then serious strength training. Everything from sitting behind a desk to running uphill is a hundred times easier.
I'm sure you can achieve the same strength with yoga, but it seems to me its very inefficient. You can do strength training 2-3 times a week for an hour and it just works.
I genuinely had to google reviews about it, and then still check if 50C temperature is safe for skin contact.
Torture comes quite close to it, still I hate mosquitoes even more.
Even now I only use the 3 second setting and sometimes I can't stand it.
