European Yew is one of my favorite trees. Medieval fairytale tree almost lost since it was an easy wood to work with. The feeling in Central European forests is very comfortable especially when compared with haunted east coast forests of US. Closest to forests of old Europe I believe are in Lower Silesia you can pick Boletus mushrooms, meet gnomes, and have delicious mountain meal. The dessert in the picture is called naleśniki biszkoptowe it is made with local berry sauce and is very good after long morning hike.

I know it's not for everyone but right now there is a lot of money to be made using ai. I am not passionate about business for the sake of business, but I think many men can live freely, less encumbered, this way. Hopefully it creates space for great things.

Fun fact: the word “pig” comes from Old English pigga, which meant a piglet. (IPA: [ˈpiɡ.ɡɑ])

Muslims don’t really understand the “name” thing. A unique identifier. Everyone is named Muhammad Muhammad. Does this not get confusing?

Why does America refuse to use tap to pay? You could do this at a small shop in Romania 10 years ago but for most places in the US you still need to take out your wallet.

In every EU country you can leave your wallet at home. ID and cards are on your phone. Everything in the US requires your phone/an app but you still have to bring your wallet for some things.

You can get a DUI and lose your license while riding a bike. And how do you get around after…? A bike.

Martin Denny on the tradition of taking the thing and making a version of it that becomes truer than the original. Creating Polynesian tiki sounds that are more intoxicating than reality, and therefore accepted as something better than reality, which cannot be achieved. piped.video/YHjteg6tAvw

I don’t know if you speak English. I don’t speak Chinese, OK. A week ago I came in here and I ordered the medium shrimp. It comes with ten shrimps. I looked in the box and counted seven shrimps. But there was a man working here, I don’t know if he’s here now- OK do you speak English. I’m sorry but I don’t speak Chinese. He told me the other three shrimps were at the bottom. I got home and I looked through the entire thing. The other three shrimps were not there. You owe me three shrimps. No, it was not that size. It was the medium. The medium comes with ten shrimps. I’m here to get the three shrimps that you owe me please. Do you understand me? I apologize but I have to speak to you in English. I don’t know if you speak English. I don’t speak Chinese.

Mormons produce stable, well-adjusted communities that are educated, loving, supportive, and of good character. Still, I would have no interest in living a Mormon way of life. It is not far off from any other Protestant denomination in that it is devoid of anything carnal and lacking in aesthetic qualities.

Talking with my LDS insiders, births are down within the church and mission lengths are being shortened to combat this. Reverting to traditional, community based lives in this way, especially if just taking the best of what is offered, will all be for nothing.
