As a human person I have human interests, like immersing myself into large bodies of water or laying pigments on paper in an organized way.

Experiences with Transcendental Meditation
  • the scientology is approved by people like Tom Cruise. Might be better avoiding though, even if Mission Impossible is enjoyable.

    I finished my 100 heads challenge (one head per day)
  • that's cool :) I like how forms and volums are well indicated with simple lines.

  • Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?
  • not sure what you mean, but I find that Dells are also cheap (second hand) easy to find, reliable, solid and easy to maintain (like the hardware is easy to access for cleaning and replacing/updating).

    edit : I'm using a latitude 5470 with lubuntu. I bought it second in a pawn shop a few years ago and added some RAM last year, it still runs like a charm.

  • Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?
  • for a lot of people (me included), a cheap second hand thinkpad (or dell pro) with a light distro would be more than enough to cover their computing needs for years.

  • Making couple friends in your 30s when child free?
  • yeah, it's more about finding open minded people with empathy (and be open minded and empathic ourself) more than finding people just like us. Embracing differences, respecting and understanding eachother is key. There are plenty of people out there who keep their kids to themself and have plenty of other interests, it's easier to meet them if we don't push them away in the first place (just like they don't push us way fro being child free).

    Humans, apparently, throw like gods
  • it is not such a stretch. according to Oxford dictionary, to throw is :

    1.propel (something) with force through the air by a movement of the arm and hand.

    which is a very human concept. We then can not judge other species ability to do it (exept primates). just like we can not say animals don't have languages because thay don't speak english.

    2.send suddenly into a particular state or condition.

    The archer fish is then very efficient at sending water into a particular state or condition with high accuracy.

    the octopus for exemple has been observed throwing stuff around.

    edit : elephants do it to. and you can find plenty of bird examples.

  • I just started using Linux... any great tips?
  • do not copy paste commands you do not uderstand from shady forums in hope it will solve your problem :)

  • Humans, apparently, throw like gods
  • the archerfish can accurately spit jets of water to hunt inscects ... I'm sure there are much more examples of other species accurately throwing things around. we're not that special ...

  • that's just bloody depressing

  • nor freedivers ever accept air from a scuba diver.

  • what happens to the lungs of a freediver during a deep dive, boyle´s law in action

    a nice illustration of the way our lungs contrats due to boye's law when we freedive. at -10m the volume of air is already reduced by 50%.

    is HDPE actually biodégradable ?
  • thanks for the clarification ! that clear it up :) I'm pretty sure I've seen it advertised several times, but I can't find the actual claim anymore .... I hope I haven't made this up somehow, otherwise I apologize for the misinformation :/ (I'll keep looking).

  • is HDPE actually biodégradable ?
  • thanks ! that is usually what I do. Someone offered me a sketch book made of stone paper (it's actually quite nice to draw on), so I was wondering what to think of it.

  • Hermit crab
  • Thanks :) I used idia ink in a brush/water pen, it's a brush with a small tank in the shaft that you can fill with water or ink. like that :)

  • is HDPE actually biodégradable ?

    Hi all, not sure this is the right place to ask... mods, feel free to do what has to be done if not.

    I'm interested is "stone paper" a kind of paper made out of calcium carbonate (from limestone or construction waste) and HDPE (High-density polypropylene).

    It's been advertised as a more eological solution for producing paper as it doesn't requires to cut down trees and uses much less water and chemicals in the process, compared to traditional paper.

    My concern in about HDPE (that represent more or less 20℅ of the final product). Most companies advertise it as a "non-toxic biodegradable" plastic. But I can not find any reliable information to back this up.

    I'm then inclined to think it is just green-washing.

    but still I'm wondering if anyone could bring some insight about HDPE being biodegrade ...

    thanks !

    ecologise.in The social ideology of the motorcar - Ecologise

    “The worst thing about cars is that they are like castles or villas by the sea: luxury goods invented for the exclusive pleasure of a very rich minority, and which in conception and nature were never intended for the people”. So starts Andre Gorz’s justly famous 1973 essay which remains as relevant ...

  • Sitting issues
  • thanks ! Love the diy link :)

  • Sitting issues
  • I don't think you've got to get check by a therapist every time you get numb limbs from staying still for too long. that's just a pinched nerve or some blood flow restriction from some presure on my butt :) Just a posture/sit issue. haha, I'll be fine, don't worry.

  • Sitting issues
  • Mu cushion is one filled with grain (it's confortable but a little small I reckon), which is laying on a carpet, I'll look into that (maybe add a yoga mat ?). Hopefully I'll get used to it. thanks

    Sitting issues

    Hi all, how do you manage to sit for long periods of time ?

    I'm having trouble staying still after 25/30mn. After that my right leg gets so numb, I've got to move it every once in a while. I'm not sure it really is an issue, but even if I try ti stay focused on my meditation while moving, it's always a distraction. Fyi : I sit crossed legs with my butt on a cushion.

    Thanks !

    www.theguardian.com Freediving: is this a sport - or ‘French existentialist swimming’?

    With the Netflix documentary The Deepest Breath wowing audiences, the activity is having its biggest cultural moment since Luc Besson’s film The Big Blue. But if freediving wants to break into the mainstream like surfing once did, it has some questions to answer

    Freediving: is this a sport - or ‘French existentialist swimming’?

    freediving could become a lot more mainstream, but should it ?

  • that's the bloody truth right here !

  • even on fuckcars people still like cars,... damn

    Why are some people here on fuckcars still debating on what the best car is ? I mean, most of the time the best car is no car.

    edit : that was a genuine question. I wasn't expecting such wrath from car enthusiasts.
