i wanna know people perspectives on lifting on mushrooms


i love to lift but i fall off the wagon and its a constant 4 steps forward 3 steps back thing but im SLOWLY getting better overall and i have to say its the only exercise that ive enjoyed

i know female powerlifter who takes a psilocybin metabolite before she lifts because it's good for nerves

i'd stay away from hallucinogenic doses though...

they're two different things

a typeface is "helvetica"
a font is "helvetica bold" or "helvetica italic" or "helvetica condensed roman" or "helvetica thin oblique" and all other variants of the same one (since in the past when you used metal type these would of course have been completely different sets of letterforms)

guess there weren't any questions about typography on that game show huh

i like to think about degrees as "if i went to the third world/the year zero/the post-apocalyptic future what could i do with this knowledge" because that's a pretty good rubric for how directly useful your skills are to humanity. if your skills are only applicable within a very specific societal structure you're sorta hosed

doctor: p. much always set for life wherever they go
mechanical engineer: could probably be a mechanic or inventor or something -- still some opportunities
computer programmer: math teacher at best
typographer: lol

tradesmen make out the best here obviously

on a related note i did once run across a guide to like, bootstrapping your own everything starting with only wood and a knife. i never read the book but i always wanted to

the guy starts by like making his own lathe, and using thta to make tools to make tools to end up with a working smithery so he can do ironwork and poo poo

anyone remember something similar?

i wanted to do a book like this for my thesis, bootstrapping from stone knives and bearskins to an industrial economy but it was waayyyy too much work for one person

see the interesting thing about human biology is that if you do something like blacksmithing for a living your puny frame and arms will grow to be blacksmith-sized. in fact they had these whole other categories called "apprentices" and "journeymen" so that you could do blacksmith stuff while your skills and body grew to fit the task

i know this is difficult to grasp

this is kind of true but to an extent you'll always be limited by things like tendon and frame size

there's nobody benching 400lbs with 5" wrists

but yeah the human bod is v cool and adaptable

ya for that you need to get the person to start training before puberty (apprentices would start at age 10-12) so that by the time they're growing to adult size their bodies are being molded into the optimal form for the task

yup, basically it's too late for all of us

I don't have a solar filter for my telescope but I want to watch the Mercury transit tomorrow so I built a quick&dirty pinhole camera thingy out of the box the telescope came in. Probably won't actually be able to see Mercury with it but oh well.

Tested it by aiming it out the window; it generates an image that isn't terrible I guess.



nice! what did you make the pinhole out of?

when I did this i took a piece of aluminum can and sanded it down and made the smallest hole possible and it came out crazy sharp.
