The New Coffee Room

The hairs would provide ample opportunities for bondage play.

@jon-nyc said in 14 months' work at the gym and the dinner table:

Gemeni amd Grok both told me that post lung transplant VO2 max is typically in the 40-60% of age adjusted expected value range, and that’s without the anemia. I’m now >100%.

That's really great! I assume that's mainly from cycling?

There is no such thing as a dragon. This is a kids book, but it tells you something about what happens if you can't talk about something. The problem becomes bigger and bigger and finally makes your whole life miserable.

Wow, this hits home very closely. My ex-wife also became a hoarder over time, and I also couldn't talk to her about it without it becoming a big fight. It became so difficult to find something in the mess that we sometimes ordered things new from Amazon because that was easier than locating it.

The fact that she's my ex-wife tells you something about how I solved the problem. The issues you describe were not the only but a major contributor to the end of our relationship. They are also a symptom that there's something else that is seriously wrong.

You say this isn't serious. I disagree. This is huge. You either solve it, or your relationship will end. Address it now, before it eats your soul.

Comic Sans should be the only font.

Oh yeah, I also got an ab roller at home. This is probably the best "bang for the buck" equipment there is. Fantastic exercise.

That's why I go to a Turkish barber. They basically take a flame thrower to burn body hair.

I've never calculated it but it's way less than what you spend.

Do you regret having two hours less per day?

Which piece of advice did you find particularly compelling?

Some good advice but also a lot of bullshit. For instance, he seems to be prone to the naturalistic fallacy.

I wonder if she believes her own BS.

Dirty Sanchez, anyone?

Easy. Somebody sends me a reminder or another email about that previous email that I didn't read and then I can look it up. Happened to me many times.

There is no reason to ever delete an email. Storage grows much faster than your inbox.

You shouldn’t. That what the delete button is for.

Takes too long. An extra click. Also, what if I'm wrong and it is in fact important? Then I still want to be able to find it later on.

Of course I won't ever read them. I think it's a waste of time to organize your emails or to strive for "inbox zero".

My attention span is the list of most recent emails that still fit on the screen. Everything that falls outside of that will never be looked at again, unless I'm searching for it. Also, many emails I consider irrelevant just from looking at the title or sender, so why should I read them?

This is the view for the three email addresses I'm using. About 130,000 unread emails.

God I hate the X6. Worst BMW design ever. And I say that as a BMW driver (5 series)

I played a few times and the results ranged from 8,000 to 45,000.

I wonder how the samples were collected and how they decided which ones were written by AI.

Based on how you do this, I guess you can get any split you want, from 1% AI to 99% AI.

No idea. There are tools professors use to determine if writing is AI that supposedly work well.

I don't think they work well and I think they can never work well in principle.
