Any interest in ear plugs? I live in an apartment in a busy urban neighborhood, though I use them mostly to block out traffic noises and my cats playing at night. I'd draw the line at the point where you can literally feel the damn music.
Great stuff! The only Ergs! I'd heard before this is a Brave Little Abacus cover of one of their songs.
I enjoy hiking the 46, but I'm not terribly serious about it. I don't even have a complete list of hikes I've done; I'd have to confirm details with my Dad and other people we hike with. I would like to complete it though, I just don't have the time to commit to it seriously. Hopefully I'll do it before I'm too old lol Good luck on your trip, three peaks in five days is still a nice chunk of hiking! What hike do you plan on doing as your last?
What summits? I probably have half left? Mostly the ones that are off the usual beaten paths.
Crying - Beyond the Fleeting Gales Female fronted chiptune emo meets Van Halen? The music is great but the front woman steals the show.
They've also tinkered too much with the playoff system. I started watching back in '02, where it was just a season long accumulation of points. Then they switched to the chase format in '06, which wasn't so bad. Then a few years ago they switched it to a round elimination format? I'm not sure, it was around that switch that I stopped caring. Of course any point system is arbitrary, but switching it up every year does not help legitimize the champions in your sport.
The new (relative) mellowness is a bit jarring. Hopefully it grows on me.
The new American Football album is excellent. It's not out yet, but if you look hard enough you should be able to find a download link.
I guess the Times published this so they can plausibly dodge accusations of liberal bias? I subscribe to the Times, and the vast majority of their content is anti-Trump.
He'll always be Willy Wonka to me.
In Fall 2012 Jill Stein came into my 200 level poli sci class to campaign. That will give you an idea of how irrelevant she and the Green Party is.
Thank you!
Mind copying the article in here? I'm hitting a paywall.
It's a grower, but well worth the listens.
sighs in relief
I got a sick, nervous feeling in my stomach reading this. Say it ain't so...
New Johnny Foreigner album: Mono No Aware
I gotta go with Bulls on Parade, but I respect the choice of any RATM track.
Primo Levi - If This Is A Man Haven't made much progress yet, for lack of time.
At what point do we become numb to these type of attacks? I can't even remember the names of all the different mass attacks this year...
What did you do on this farm to make a living? And why did your time there end up being pivotal?
I do a mile workout every week. My times usually bounce between 6:20 and 6:40, depending on my training load and conditioning. A few things that could help are losing weight, running at night, and watching your diet. I feel if I lost 5 or 10 pounds, I'd cut a significant amount of time; after all, there'd be less of me to haul around. Sadly, I love food too much to cut out my beers/burritos on the weekends. Similarly, consistently eating nutritious food will provide you with a hell of a lot more energy during your runs; junk food will leave you feeling sluggish after the first 400m. Finally, especially now that it's summer time, running when it's 10-15 degrees cooler and you don't have the sun beating down on you is a huge plus. Saving the stress from the heat should save you a not insignificant amount of time.
Fascinating, thank you for posting this. I'm ashamed to admit I assumed AAVE was just a sloppy version of American English. While I take responsibility for not educating myself earlier, my very white, conservative, and affluent background did not help matters. To illustrate my point: when I was in middle school, one of the boys in my grade wore a hand made shirt to gym class with the phrase "Hooked on Ebonics" on the front. We all had a good laugh, including the teacher! I look back on this now and cringe. When I have kids of my own I hope to teach them the value of critical thinking and the dangers of blindly assuming.
Are you referring to this? In that case, it's just an abbreviation of OftenBen's name. Otherwise, I have no idea, and I've been here quite awhile.
Really digging Kinkajous, thanks!
Very interesting, thank you for taking the time to model this!
