What are Squares?

That idea of standing on one leg seems interesting, a simple way to introduce balancing on a daily basis, will try it out.

Yeah, setting up a call with just yourself does this. You can also share your screen and it will go to “do not disturb”.

I suggest you take a different approach then.

Instead of doing in 5 min blocks, do it in smaller intervals, say start with 30 seconds. And also you can aim for a smaller total daily time like 5 min, and work your way up to 30 dailly minutes over the course of weeks if not months. It may seem small but the goal is to accumulate the work and slowly induce adaptations.

I break up working day with small 5 min breaks where I rest in a squat. I do this a minimum of 6 times. It helps to stretch the whole posterior chain.

First 30 days I had a 4cm block bellow my heels since I severly lack the mobility. After a month of daily practice I’ve been able to reduce the height of the block to 2 cm. Will continue for another month and hopefully the full squat will be available to me.

The goal is to be able to have the squat as a natural resting position that I can use on a daily basis to break the chair sitting banner.

Not many people know Latin and will most likely actually think it means long penis. Wanted to provide actual information.

I can’t fucking read omg.

Still, its not long penis

It really cuts my gears into pieces reading posts like this where people just take things without checking. My last resort is to go search if its true.

IDGAF if it looks like penis, the Latin name is Megaloblatta longipennis. Longi is the inflexion of longus which means long. Pennis is the inflection of penna which can mean feather, wing or fin.

So “longwings”

So you also advocate making alchool illegal? (overwhelming evidence of alcohol contributing to violence, domestic of otherwise) Note how I wrote “contribute” and not cause.

Human behavioural problems are complicated as well as their causes. Blaming them solely on substances is dishonest and steers us away from the real causes.

Who is advocating letting people drive high? Just like with alcohol, it should have a time and a place and it should be a crime to operate a vehicle under its influence.

If you need coffee to have energy in the morning that is a problem for you.

And yes, coffee is a drug and it can be dangerous as well.

As Amaerica showed during the Prohibition and as we see today with opioids, humans will always want to alter their consciouness, no matter the cost. Legalizing drugs along with treating addiction as a disease and not a crime, would be a net positive.

Will put it on the list to read after!

Dune seems tricky to read as a child/teenager, it starts to get philosophical as the story goes on.

Portuguese, Spanish, French, English, Swedish and Finnish.

No, tell me more!

Currently read the Dune series, just finished Children of Dune and will start God Emperor of Dune tonight.

I still remember when i watched as a teen. It was airing on TV and I was like “sweet, a sci fi space movie!”. I was really enjoying it but then the horror starts… I was so freaked out but couldnt stop watching.

And Viola!

Just that simple step would do wonders

Thanks for explaining, TIL!

Can you elaborate on the Die Hard part? I recall the terrorist being German. The only reference to Japan, that I recall, was the name of the building.

Left back when they announced the API changes and never looked back.
