I used to dread leaving the warm shower and getting cold while drying. Then I figured out that if I gradually turn the temperature down while only showering the head, that it both feels refreshing, but not cold, and also makes the entire transition less cold. The key is that the brain gets most of it’s idea of temperature from the head.

The same tactic can also be used at the beach. Instead of inching your way into the cold water until the testicles crawl up and you finally give up, you’re much better off if you just put the top of your head into the water first.

Yeah, nothing beats a clean rectum.

In my latest setup I’ve chosen to make due with what’s available for Linux. I’m not going to bridge Windows VSTs.

So I don’t mind the software, I’ll use whatever is available, but it was really the hardware issues with Windows that made me switch. I don’t want to spend another night trying to make Windows recognise my old controllers, when they all work without any issues in Linux. I need my tools to work too.

There’s a lack of linux native VSTs, but other than that my exp has been that Linux is both easier, less demanding and more stable than Windows for audio. Don’t know how it compares to Mac.

It’s more about set theory than the actual numbers.

Let’s say you have 100 people with everyone tied up across both tracks. Heads on one track and legs on the other. Let’s assume they die if the train touches any part of them, but you still need to choose between running over heads or legs.

The best choice is then legs, because there’s a probability of some of them being handicapped and not having legs.

Guess I was wrong. Maybe it adds up.

I never said I was good at counting.

The real numbers also includes the integers.

The practical consequence of this example is that the integers die regardless of what you choose.

However infinitely many people will survive if you choose the first option.

I counted the letter “o”. It doesn’t match up.

Rich people don’t buy those things, like jets and infrastructure. They own companies that buy those things.

I think that for an individual rich person, their personal purchases are still within the million dollar range. Luxury doesn’t come from a single purchase. It’s the cost of upkeep that really separates rich from poor.

One thing that shocked me is the price of getting an elevator in a house. It easily costs as much as a small house, but it’s the maintenance that is gross. It can cost about the same as a full time employee just to own one. It makes sense in a tall apartment building where the elevator is in constant use by many people, but for rich people who are never home and only use it maybe once a day, it’s ridiculously expensive to pay that much just to not walk a stair.

His name is Jürgen Klopp. Football coach.

He started working with Trivago on 2024. Prior to that, they used American actor Tim Williams.

The images are from Houston.

The parking lot picture is from the 1970s, so probably not exactly fair to compare to a modern city. I don’t know (care about) how it looks now.

The history list was most interesting in my opinion.

Chrissy doesn’t even surf.

They’re all Old Spice now.

Now I gotta know the tactical reason for the 2 key to also have the 2 symbol?

Hitler died from suicide and Stalin from a stroke.

Kind of difficult to make that happen.

Don’t be like me. As a hobby, I started making a music album some time around year 2003. During the next four years I accumulated several hundreds drafts and 16 nearly finished tracks, that only needed the final polish. Then I got stuck. I never did finish one single track.

I was stuck like that for almost ten years. It wasn’t until 2016 that I decided to cut the finished tracks down to 7 and publish them as they were, just to close the book and get it out of my system.

I stopped doing music for some years and all the old drafts are archived on old hard drives somewhere in the basement. All I have to show is the published album. The ideas still exists in my head, and maybe I can use some of those, but I don’t think any of the material is worth resurrecting to work on.

I finally feel free to start a new project. As a matter of fact, I just did that two weeks ago and finished the first track within the same week, of which the majority happened in a single night. Sure, there are things I think I could improve, but I have decided not to attempt it. It’s done as it is. It’s more important to move forward than to attempt to perfect something that can never be perfect.

Imagine if you actually managed to write the perfect ending. How the hell would you ever be able to write another book?

My advice would be to write two endings. Pick the least awful one and then publish it, so you can clear your head and start a new book.

Did he even say thank you?

Everybody loves composite numbers, but I’m missing the point in which this is advantage in the context of time. The only situation I know of where time needs to be divided is in paid work, and in this case it’s always converted to base 10 money.
