Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.
Quite the opposite. I am so used to burn away my migraines, i can last in 60 degrees hot water for a (short) while.
That’s nothing! I can last in 100C water, for a (very short) while
I have never not gotten the job.
You’re telling me that if you go on indeed or linkedin, you’re getting every job?
No, just for all those to which I have applied, I have been offered the gig. It isn’t many: a few as a teenager and 7 since I left the military. But I’ve just been really fortunate, and not been rejected.
I was on a show called Canada’s Worst Driver. Hence my username
I’ve never heard a single Tool song, and I’m a prog rock/metal fan.
Also a prog rock/metal fan, and I don’t enjoy most of Tool’s work. There’s a few good songs but I like Maynard’s work as Puscifer soooo much more. Drunk with Power, Dozo, and Momma Sed are fantastic.
This answer best fits the brief I think. That is very strange.
That is a mistake you know?
You are missing out. I’m not really a Tool fan, they are fantastic live. Seen them 4 times, each show was amazingly different. They are very talented musicians.
But you are absolutely missing out by not giving Lateralus at least a once over. It’s a musical masterpiece. IMO it’s their magnum opus and one of the great musical creations of our generation.
I run a Arch Linux tier 1 mirror. Somehow mine’s one of the few.
I have a stomache of steel. Nothing will pass my digestive tract alive or intact. I never had any kind of stomache trouble and I can not puke. I ate every dish in south-east-asia that landet in front of me, even from some dirty streetfood shack in the middle of the burmese jungle. Most of the stuff would have killed the average middle european slob. Not me.
It even goes so far that I cannot use edibles. Which is funny, because all the growmies make fun of me now.
I have a pretty ironclad stomach, but not as strong as yours. I’ve been with my wife for 13 years and she’s witnessed the horror that is me puking twice. And the first time came 4 years ago. My friends say it sounds like I’m “calling the dinosaurs” and it is very traumatic for me.
Edit: I forgot my point. I’m jealous.
The dog-barf…
This is genuinely so cool.
I can not puke
No gag reflex you say? 😇
Street food is often the safest anyhow, its the hotels and water you have to worry about
Cash money, that’s where the real danger lurks. Even if you can drink bottled water and eat pre-packaged food, you have to handle the money. And that stuff is really, really nasty in some parts of the world.
I can drive as long as possible without touching my phone.
Isn’t this like… idk… normal intelligent human behavior?
haha intelligent and normal are usually two different categories of drivers
That I run three home servers with over 25 services for work, home security, and website projects. No one cares about it but I really enjoy doing it :)
As compulsion, I watch YT tutorials at breakneck speed: 2.5x-3x.
YouTube tutorials can be pretty low information density. Sentences have important pointers every 5 seconds or more (“The thing is, like, if you’re trying to do this, or this, do X first” – predictable/less functional words), and the first third of a YouTube video is often useless. Of course, denser videos get slowed to normal and have clips replayed.
Internally, this stems from nervousness of wasting time (oops), and it hurts my head if I do it too long ( but looks cool beforehand B) )
How much information do you actually retain?
Not OP, but most of it.
Tutorials I might need to go a bit slower, remembering broad strokes isn’t enough, and detailed steps in order is probably too much, but that would be true at 1x speed as well.
For videos generally I watch almost everything at 2x or higher. Headphones help, it would be much harder if there were any competing audio stimulus. If I’m forced to go at 1x I retain almost nothing.
I also usually watch videos at around 1.3 to 1.6 times speed depending on the type of video
Wait, since when does the speed increase go up to 3x?
You can get browser extensions to have more control over video speed
enhancer for youtube extension in firefox for me.
No extension needed. Use a bookmarklet or the browser console; it’s a oneliner anyway.
/* Bookmarklets should be one line. */ javascript: document .querySelector('video') .playbackRate = prompt("Speed") || 3No need for webdev skills either. COVID kids used bookmarklets all the time to screw with their Chromebooks.
Sometimes, my sneezes smell like buttercups.
Sometimes I’ll sneeze, and people will ask who is wearing perfume, or comment that someone’s clothes smell like they were fresh out of the wash. What’s actually happening is they’re breathing my spores, and they love it.
wtf 😅 eww?
You sound like some kind of Anime villain
What’s actually happening is they’re breathing my spores, and they love it
What is your final goal when you have successfully bred enough spore-bearing drones out of us, huh?
Holy shit bro that could be a sign of diabetes. See a doctor
Already have, it’s definitely not diabetes. Apparently it’s a genetic thing, but it’s both pretty rare and just isn’t caught by people that “have the gift”.
Oh. Lol. Weird…
Haha, it’s so weird that the only people that have caught on that are my sneezes are my wife and my parents. My wife used to think it was cute, until she realised that her smelling it basically means she’s breathing in my sneezes, which is pretty grim.
It’s maybe 1 in 5 sneezes, but I can almost always tell when it’s going to be a “smelly” one.
I can guess the right socket/wrench I need from looking at the bolt 90% of the time
After over half a century of action, a lot of it in “extreme sports”, and countless injuries, I have yet to break a bone.
Congrats! Must be all the malk.
We don’t have any malk, but I can get you some MILK
Good god, I have to rewatch that right now. Thanks, I’m not the only one thinking of that video!
Now with vitamin R!
I can give up almost anything save for breathing, eating, and my dogs.
I can cook minute rice in 56 seconds. I try to only use my powers for good.
When baking, I take the right amount of butter with 1g of accuracy.
Baking or “baking”?
Actual baking with an oven.
Does it work only with butter?
I‘ve got this in a less accurate but more versatile way: I can do this ±50gr of almost anything
With flour and sugar only because I know how much fits on a spoon. With butter it’s just magic.
My hand has an accuracy of about 0.1-0.2g accuracy. Well, with weed. I haven’t measured how accurate it is with spices or salt or sugar because I never measure those.
The more butter you add the righter it becomes.
