I would be interested in reading more about your experience with cold showers. If you posted on a blog or something about this please let me know.

In France, this event is well known and taught in class (at least it was in the 80's).

As I remember it now, this was taught as a bittersweet moment in our history. We united, we were brave and fought a stronger army but still we were defeated and our chief was captured and killed by the enemy.

As a result we were colonized and we lost almost all our Celtic culture (Celtic culture remains present notably in Bretagne — Britain). But we were "civilized" by the Romans. I think this was taught as being a tough but positive thing.

Today I find it interesting to think about how "civilization" spreading if often a gruesome process and how it's seen centuries, if not (in this case), milleniums later.

Therapy, regular workouts (5/week), regular meditation

I would recommend that you listen his recent podcast with Joe Rogan. He's such a great person altogether. Regarding business, I would not say he's only a technical guy. In the podcast he explains how he came to give his first Ferrari as the prize of the first Quake competition. He also explained (somehow to your point) how his rocket company failed.

John Carmack is a genius in at least 3 different things and probably more: business, tech and expression (written or oral). He can explain very complicated things in such a graceful way. I personally consider anything he does to be newsworthy.

That’s what I have. Great laptop. Only recently it started to freeze for a few seconds a couple of times per week though.

TL;DR: "Martin Couney, a self-appointed “doctor” — his credentials turned out to be nonexistent — who nonetheless saved thousands of infants, and introduced incubators to the modern world."

And customers...

The Godfather. Such a brilliant and addictive book.

Sounds like you may not be from Europe. In Europe nothing is perfect but man, reading how the system works in the US is very depressing compared to how it works here.

Yes it’s great to start at the gym and get used to that environment. But yes form is very important and you should not progress in weight if all your reps are not 100% ok. This is NOT emphasized in the program but it should be. It’s easy especially on squat and deadlift to progress quickly with bad form. And then you get injured...

Mailjet has always been a bad service for us. Price increases, horrible support and constant bugs.

The subject is interesting but man this article is so long! It could have been a tenth of its current size and still give us more than enough information.

There still could be impact on trade, especially if we have a no-deal brexit.

Yes it’s a great book, non-fiction but riveting.

That’s exactly what a cephalopod would say...

TL;DR:

The potsherds yielded proteins from numerous plants—barley, wheat, peas and bitter vetch—as well as the blood and milk of several species of animal, including cows, sheep and goats.

The milk offered even more insight, as the researchers could distinguish whey from other parts of the liquid—and in one jar they found only whey, indicating the ancient Anatolians were actively transforming the milk into something like cheese or yogurt.

In the old days, Google would have bought an existing player and scale it. Now seeing Google bootstrap this kind of mainstream business seems awkward. Also I personably am very doubtful of any new app/service that Google releases.

Not only films but documentaries or YouTube videos. Seems like a lot of workers in the US are working in such environments.

Very often on TV when I see office spaces in the US, I see rarely natural lights. They often seem to be underground or inside some refurbished industrial buildings.

Here in France we all have well lit offices with natural lights and windows. Well not all but the vast majority.

To me it seems punitive to work in a blind/artificially lit office.

It’s mind blowing that we can see photos almost 200 years old. Had the technology been invented a little earlier and we could have had pictures of Napoleon or even of the French Revolution.

I had a mild panic attack during a LSD trip and my dog curled on my side and basically « sucked » my anxiety and made me feel relaxed.

On another day, my wife remembered a sad event in her life and began to cry silently. Our dog woke up and came to sit at her side calmly.

We don’t deserve dogs.

I agree

That was a great story and I did not like it called cute. Thank you for sharing.

I did fast for 5 days once. Also did 2 and 3 days. The most surprising thing is that you get back the sense of smell.

It’s very curious but fasting improves your smell a lot and I am not the only one to observe this phenomenon.

Maybe it’s an old biological mechanism to make it easier to find food? In any case it’s pretty impressive.

That’s just my opinion but I don’t like the Fire TV.

For instance, it’s impossible to stream content from recent Amazon tablets to Fire TV’s unless you hack some sort of DYI solution.

Returned mine pretty quickly. By comparison my 5 years old Apple TV works like a charm.

Psychedelics (LSD, shrooms) made me a better person.

I don’t know anyone who became less caring, less respectfull, more violent or more greedy after doing those drugs.

I would argue that psychedelics make you more human, in the good sense of the word.

Excellent book

I’ve read the article but I am surprised by its lack of substance. The basic TL:DR is: health care is more expensive because we pay more for the same.

That’s pretty obvious and also the reasons why it’s more expensive are not really detailed in the article (besides admin costs).

Flagged. This article brings nothing new or even interesting.
