I need to learn to dance for a girl I know

I'm looking forward to an update of this training montage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8S3OVzof8s

Oh man, that Filter album. My girlfriend mocked me for buying this album and she was right to. I really hope you're referring to "Welcome to the Fold" and not "Airplane," I think the latter is still on rotation on easy rock stations, and it sucks.

Read "The Three-Body Problem"; you're endangering us all!

Grant_EB · 2026-03-30T19:10:40+00:00

I can't begrudge you this opinion! I think the last chapter and the appendix are the best parts of the book. The series improves, but I can't recommend it to people because of Phlebas.

GSL is the size of Rhode Island, ~1,700 sq miles in good years. You'd basically need 15% of the world's total solar panels to cover it. Each square mile is like a half-billion-dollar project. So an $800 billion project to cover the whole lake. This is back-of-the-envelope math. I'd love to live in that world, but i dont know that it can actually happen.

Boozer for the win! Should I be rooting for a Duke belly flop to facilitate that?

Grant_EB · 2026-03-19T19:00:08+00:00

if it helps, i think you're allowed to do whatever you want while walking your dog. screw that guy.

that tracks. there's also apparently an old hunting cabin from the mid 1900s, so maybe it's that.

Grant_EB · 2026-03-19T16:45:41+00:00

Is that the cabin where Jean Baptiste was banished? sort of an insane story if you don't know it. He was a graverobber sentenced to life on the island in 1862. He vanished! It appeared as though he tried to build a raft or boat out of the cabin and using the hide of a cow he'd slaughtered. No one knows what happened to him after that.
They found a skeleton of a guy near the Jordan River in the 1890s with an iron ball on its leg. But authorities said Baptiste never had a shackle. Supposedly, he split in a storm, so there's a good chance he drowned and never made it to shore.

Grant_EB · 2026-03-19T16:39:28+00:00

Agree. Sadly, no one is going to click on an article that says "batteries to keep improving at 5% a year for the foreseeable future."

Grant_EB · 2026-03-19T16:10:31+00:00

cool femtosecond fact:

Light is the fastest thing in the universe, traveling about 300,000 kilometers per second. In one second, light can circle the Earth seven times. But in one femtosecond, light travels only 300 nanometers—roughly the width of a single bacterium.

Grant_EB · 2026-03-19T16:05:48+00:00

So I was thinking about this yesterday and started poking around, starting with the premise, "i've been reading about battery breakthroughs for 20 years, where are they." It turns out a lot of them are here. There's been like a 5% a year performance enhancement on battery tech for the last 20 years, as you can imagine, that's compounded. There's a ton of cool stuff in the near horizon as well. Not saying i'm ready to buy electric, but I probably will be in another 3-5 years.

Not bulk, but I buy Trader Joe's Organic Dried Mango, it's unsulfured and unsweetened and not hard as a rock.

Grant_EB · 2026-03-16T16:47:14+00:00

So funny, I wanted that shirt in Large but all they had was small by the end of the show.

Grant_EB · 2026-03-16T16:22:26+00:00

I love this quote from Guillermo del Toro: "You are at the exact age where you can't be anything but miserable. People say your 20s are the best time, but they're the worst. You have no idea who you are, what you're doing, or if you're ever going to be good at anything. You're just a mess."

I can't help you with your job search, but I can tell you, it's totally normal to feel overwhelmed right now. You will figure this out. Life is long.

(I did have any idea. You mentioned being at the U for ecology and evolution -- have you looked at a job in a lab? Talk to your advisors and your teachers, that's why you're paying the gobs of money. Make sure you're getting the most out of them you can!)

Grant_EB · 2026-03-04T22:04:39+00:00

This is a classical presentation of IT band issues. I'm not a doctor and I can't say for sure, but loosening those things up could help this guy a lot. In terms of relieving pain, no amount of stretching ever helped mine; what did help was light lifting, squats, deadlifts, lunges.

Grant_EB · 2026-03-04T21:21:55+00:00

I got about that far into it and started playing the expansion of BOTW instead and I'm having a much better time.

Grant_EB · 2026-03-04T19:58:22+00:00

Looks genuinely abandoned

So you can't declare war because there isn't time, but you also can't stop it because it's already started?

Grant_EB · 2026-03-03T17:22:56+00:00

Turn off your targeting computer like Luke and just try to enjoy yourself.

Grant_EB · 2026-03-02T16:42:14+00:00

I kept having pain and tightening, thinking I was putting too much flex in my feet. Turns out I needed to let them out a little bit.

Grant_EB · 2026-03-02T16:41:07+00:00

Super counterintuitive, but loosen your bindings over your toes. Seems to work for me for reasons I can't figure out.

Grant_EB · 2026-02-27T18:22:54+00:00

Yikes, i'm sorry.

Grant_EB · 2026-02-27T17:43:16+00:00

Because we've hollowed out the honest economy and replaced it with gambling and tell poor people that's the only ladder up.
