And leap year?

I think that's incorrect. Not against the honey, but the reasoning. I think it can harbor anaerobic bacteria which the child's immune system is not ready to handle.

Guys! Someone did something minimally good. Let's make sure to insult him for it so he researches how to avoid it next time.

Wtf? I love the ota updates. Way better than going into the shop for my car to be improved

You overestimate how much nature we step in on a given day. It's usually basically cement everywhere

I played Borderlands with my brother online once. He was ahead of me but we wanted to have fun together so we tried to play together.

I was on a mission to get the best gun for my current level. He was kind enough to just drop a gun that was as good or better for my level than what I was seeking. I no longer had to do that quest.

In fact, he dropped all the best guns he had through all the levels. I no longer had to do any extra quests.

I quit the game. It was suddenly boring. It was the need for the next new thing that had been making it exciting, and now that was gone.

I think about that sometimes for rich people. Why does it never get boring?

US didn't really ban it because they didn't like it. While there was a women's group protesting against the alcoholism in the country, I don't think it would have had any traction were it not for the anti union push.

Saloons were a great meetup spot to make unions. Everyone from work was already there. If companies could make saloons illegal, it would make it harder to make unions. But there was a problem. The US got a lot of its tax revenue from alcohol taxes.

So they pitched the idea of replacing alcohol tax with income tax, making the budget balance (in fact much improve!). So it got passed to benefit the US government budget, and help the union situation for companies.

It was not prohibited for long. As you stated, it quickly went awry. But it didn't matter. The US government now gets its income tax, plus alcohol tax now. Saloons became less popular since they were gone long enough for habits to change.

I am terrible at lucid dreaming. Gave up after having only a few successful times. My experience though is, anything too far outside your normal real experiences will cause you to wake up.

I tried breathing underwater for a couple lucid dreams. I woke up before I would have inhaled water in the dream. I got scuba certified before my next attempt, and all the sudden, I was able to breathe underwater in my dreams.

Kind of disappointing. If I can't break the rules of life in my dreams what's the point of lucid dreaming? Maybe once VR gets good enough it can bridge the gap and give me close enough experiences that I can replicate them in dreams.

My watch pointed out my HRV suffers if I eat right before bed. It shows how "restful" my sleep is and if I eat in the last two hours before bed, the sleep barely gets into "rest" levels. Like equivalent to sitting down in a chair instead of sleeping for the first couple hours.

I know it sucks but maybe consider a larger lunch and just a light protein shake or something before bed if you really need calories then. I'm still figuring all this out too, but that really makes a big difference for me

I feel like when I do a good workout I need about an hour MORE sleep to recover. If you are getting less, I feel like that will cause a significant struggle.

Try the Wendler 5/3/1 weightlifting stuff. Someone on reddit made it into a spreadsheet somewhere.

Basically, don't try so hard lifting weights. You go in the first day and put an estimate in for your 1 rep max, then that day it gives you a workout and the last set you do as many as you can until failure, then you record the number.

From there, the spreadsheet calculates all the rest of your workouts with a gentle progression. His philosophy is basically, leave one rep in you (besides that testing day) for the heavy sets. Then with the BBB variation you do a ton of reps of a really light weight to build a strong foundation. He suggests a "training max" of 85-90%. Meaning there will never be a time the spreadsheet asks you to lift your entire max.

Since I've used that I haven't had any injuries at all, and I don't get super sore (just lightly sore, which I kind of like). Progression is slower, but I think that has to happen because muscles seem to develop faster than tendons adapt to the extra strain, which leads to injuries.

 

I just got a CO2 meter and checked the levels in my house and went down a rabbit hole trying to address the issue. Apparently it would take 249 areca palms to offset the carbon RESPIRATION of one adult.

So okay 249 trees just for me to breathe, not to mention the rest of the bad things we all do.

So how can this math ever balance? 249 trees just to break even seems like an impossible number. Then all the flights I have been on, miles driven, etc.

I feel like that's... Way too many trees. Is it hopeless or am I missing something?
