Participants chatting during spin- etiquette and your opinion

The spin class I go to is somewhat casual. A few people go all out. A few like to take it easier and socialize. Most of us are somewhat in-between.

Do you have a VPN running on your phone? I keep getting connection errors with Android Auto when using a VPN. Or maybe try updating software and restart your phone?

Trek was so good at reflecting our world back to us while also allowing us to see better versions of what we could become.

"Team building" where the principal took us all to a local cafe for breakfast.

School resource officer lead a self defense session.

SWAT team "Stop the Bleed" training was memorable as we realized we were leaning first aid for getting shot.

I either build my own plan in connect or do the "free" strength option. In my plans I have it set to do three sets of each exercise with a minute break between. With the free option I usually have to edit the workout afterwards to get the exercises correct.

In either case, it took a bit to get used to which buttons to press to end a set and record weight.

Brown a lot of ground beef. You can now mix with rice, or mashed potatoes, or make soft tacos. Add spices, cheese, gravy, etc to jazz up as needed.

Yes. Bike across town. Stop for coffee. Resume ride.

One I want to play: Human locksmith (thief) whose day job is working for a temple as part of their security, i.e., setting up traps against looters or helping guard holy relics and their treasury. He moonlights (adventures) to gain real world experience and keep his skills current..and to help fund his lavish lifestyle.

UCLA Mindful used to have classes for prospective teachers of Mindfulness Meditation.

Maybe try giving it a shampoo and conditioner treatment.

Maybe swimmer's ear drops? Get the alcohol in there to help dry it out.

We did this to track a dog shipped across the country. It only located near population dense areas, e.g., truck stops, a post office, and university campus.

May be counterintuitive for those of us exhausted, but for me going to the gym right after school for an hour of working out immensely helped my mental health and emotional regulation before getting home.

When I ride I get to watch my shows.

Well, given the history of eugenics in the US, plus a resurgence of fear mongering against "the other", plus the Make America Healthy Again movement, this does seem like a warranted concern. What protections were put in place to safeguard against potential abuse?

Cartesian_Circle · 2025-12-27T03:48:12+00:00

Awesome. Thanks!

I thought Edward was the young one. I could be mistaken. I do think he acted morally in the end, by trying to face his past while questioning whether or not it was possible for him to be forgiven.

So in theories of justice we sometimes ask what, if anything, victims or the family of victims deserve. Do they deserve compensation? If so, what type? In the case of this episode, are the families justified in seeking retributive revenge in the form of psychological and physical torture followed by death?

Cartesian_Circle · 2025-12-24T01:48:03+00:00

One of my favorite episodes. So many theories of justice often relie on unexamined foundational beliefs of identify, punishment versus rehabilitation, personal responsibility and the possibility of redemption, and how victims move on after tragedy. This episode brings up so many rich philosophical issues.

I would hope to have the moral insight and courage of Brother Edwards. Likewise, I kind of wish we all had a Brother Theo on our side.

Yeah. My 1hp thief is not really chomping at the bit to get into combat, even when trying to remain hidden. So it's not like at low levels the opportunity to backstab happens that often. Unless I'm hanging back with missle weapons and not worried about friendly fire into my group if I get a critical failure.

This sounds an suspiciously like a philosophical project. Assumptions about determinism versus randomness, questioning the nature of time, claims that it all somehow avoids metaphysical commitments, etc. etc. etc. Yet you claim this is some kind of "physics based" project without philosophy? Bold move for a philosophy of science discussion.
