Edit: another thing that helps is having the keyboard on a oversized mousepad, to dampen the vibrations from keyboard -> desk
But your point is true, one of the bigger problems is people try to live way outside their means. This is also a cultural problem even outside of the lower class, with middle class individuals living paycheck to paycheck -- or in a lot of bad debt.
They are still there in politics as well, but they are usually way at the bottom of the thread. It is sad though, even if you assume that it isn't as "controlled" as it is -- pretty much the front page is all anti donald trump / republican stuff these days. While some of that is fair and is news, what is worse is that at least in the old days, there would be nice constructive discussion/counter points, usually as the top voted post in the comments. Now its mostly just circle jerking there.
While it was obviously great, the majority of it was just idling in team channels and looking for group/pug/team channels. It was very centralized to IRC and needed then, but better "services" have come along and handle these problems much better, ie: ESEA, reddit, etc. A lot of these communities have come full circle now with discord being popular, and for many games you can find discord servers that emulate some of the CS IRC experiences of the past.
I don't have the best set up now. But my Walmart style iron gym pull up bar for my door, with gymnastic rings hanging on it, goes a long way. Sure, if I needed to progress further in the future, I would probably need more space for the rings, but it suits my workouts.
Hiking up mountains is for the leg workouts.
Sure, we need to be better stewards of our environment, but I fail to see how our species is inherently worse then a meteor destroying a planet.
Now we have refactored everything and re built a large portion of our front end stack using react/redux/es6, but that first "react for idiots" project I think was an important learning step.
Not trying to make this an attack either, I just see a lot of parallels elsewhere in other sports -- and it seems a little hypocritical to me that the climbing community would even be divided over this.
Furthermore, sticking with the BC skiing example, many people (resort skiers) would see it as irresponsibly risky. But we know that BC skiers take all the preparations they can, from monitoring avalanche reports and forecasts, taking training classes, learning how to probe and escape avalanches with partners. Similarly, Alex very much spends a lot of time preparing for his free-solos, in all aspects of planning -- which makes it much more calculated then "irresponsibly" risky to me.
Deadlines being flexible roadmap deadlines of course
Do you have any reading or anything you would recommend for getting into that type of thing? I was also interested in the viability of like an indoor greenhouse/hydroponics setup for growing chilis and things.
Almost killed us putting us to sleep
black thought is the GOAT though, how many rappers got a salaried day job on a talk show
Not sure what your goal of putting this together and posting on HN was though.
