  • Reminds me of the Exploratorium in San Francisco. They have an exhibition that has a long rail with metal coil wrapped around it. On one side, the coils are warm to the touch. On the other side, they’re cold to the touch. In the middle of the rail, the coils alternate hot-cold-hot-cold, and when I first touched it, my reflexes yanked my hand away because the nerves interpreted it as “so hot the ‘burned nerves’ feel cold”. Took a few attempts to be able to hold my hands there, and the sensation was very confusing. Would recommend+


  • Yeah, a bunch of times. I did five years in the coffee shop mines where excess consumption was encouraged. Switching to halfcaf or decaf when ordering coffee and switching to black tea as my morning drink helped a lot. I cut back because I was getting stomach indigestion, anxiety, loss of appetite, that kind of stuff. And upon reflection, I was actually more tired the more I drank caffeine; I was basically slug energy anytime I wasn’t actively consuming caffeine. Cutting it out has helped my energy levels a lot. I’m overall better off cutting it out and encourage you to give it a try.











  • This is about as insightful as my coworker’s email signature, which is a paragraph-long quote from fukuyamover basically saying that people have an insatiable urge to rebel against something, so because there’s nothing actually bad in our society, they rebel against liberal democracy itself as the problem.
