Cyclist Experiences the Effects of Instant Karma

ghark says...

I feel sorry for cyclists - they really should have their own little road/pathway - it's quite crazy to expect them to pedal alongside machines weighing a couple of tons, going three times as fast, and passing within a few inches of them at these speeds.

I mean, I understand it's hard to find enough space for them on existing roads, but new roads should have better planning. This planning should incorporate completely seamless cycling paths, so they don't have to duck in and out of traffic as they do at present.

everything about the drug war and addiction is wrong

ghark says...

What's also interesting is that nicotine, despite being legal, is about as addictive as crack cocaine or heroin... drug policy is really whack.

Essentially, if they want to be consistent they need to start sending swat teams into corner stores for distributing nicotine and alcohol - nicotine is nearly as addictive, and alcohol is more harmful to society (than heroin/cocaine).

Strength Is A Skill You Acquire, It's Not Only About Size

ghark says...

Aye fair points, I guess what I'm sayin' though is that you don't necessarily need to aim for maximum muscle size in your workouts, you can perform exercises that stress your bones/tendons without really packing on much mass - i.e. static holds. Also, in terms of bones breaking, more muscle (compared to bone mass) will make it easier to break your arm, but usually it's always because of poor technique as well, i.e. putting yourself in the 'break arm' position. Pretty much exactly what happened to Nathan Jones in the WSM.

Muscle size is pretty much limited by bone strength. Thats why there is a limit and you can only go over it by using steroids. With bigger bones you also of course get stronger tendons.
And if you have a bad muscle to bone ratio, your bone snaps in an arm wrestling match.

Strength Is A Skill You Acquire, It's Not Only About Size

ghark says...

Building up the bones and tendons through practice is pretty important as well, but yea, strength is definitely less important than most probably think. The main exception though i'd say is if you want to tricep press your opponent. You can hold someone much stronger than you with proper technique and enough endurance, but if you want to finish them with a tricep press you gotta have beastly triceps.

Hugh Jackman teaches Jimmy Fallon how to eat Vegemite

ghark says...

He got a couple of things right - use freshly toasted bread with butter, but it doesn't have to be white, and also the butter doesn't have to melt in, butter is awesome no matter how much you use Basically, use the vegemite like salt and you're good. It always boggles me when I see the video's of people tasting it - they may as well be eating a spoonful of salt, they wouldn't enjoy that either, but salt, used correctly, is an essential ingredient in most dishes.

My favourite is whole grain toast, lots of butter, a very thin layer of marmite/vegemite and some avocado +/- some freshly sliced tomato.

Moxie Marlinspike -- Making Private Communication Simple

ghark says...

Good to hear! Thanks.

TextSecure/Redphone/Signal has become the de-facto standard for secure mobile communications over the last months. The foundation has been prodded and examined over and over again.

With that in mind, and given the strictly non-commercial/open source approach, I'd say Moxie's project is doing pretty well for the time being.
