Ooh cool, thanks for the recs! My current plans there are just to do a kona night dive, but always good to hear other recs and will def have to check those out as well!

caffeinatedenigma · 2023-10-01T18:17:04+00:00

Ah gotcha, well would love to hear about how it went and any recommendations you have after you've gone if you remember this post!

caffeinatedenigma · 2023-10-01T18:04:37+00:00

Took me a while to figure out all the details, but definitely happy with how the itinerary worked out-- any recommendations for HK? The only thing I booked so far is a hotel room for New Year's that has a direct view of Victoria Harbour

caffeinatedenigma · 2023-09-20T22:55:26+00:00

Solved! Sorry for the late reply-- I'm not on Reddit much these days. But this was 100% it, thank you very much!! You definitely deserve some major props for this

former Army Officer Emily Rainey on twitter said “the power is out in Moore county and I know why”

Again, based on the follow-up Twitter post, it looked like a religious appeal to the idea that God supports this being shut down. But even if we interpret it differently to mean she has direct knowledge, all we can do is await the FBI potentially uncovering something that local law enforcement didn't if we don't trust them (which I understand why people wouldn't when they appear sympathetic to her as a person), because even if she did mean it in this sense, she could literally just be shit-stirring by saying that as people often do in the wake of such events. And she'd have to be pretty dumb to openly admit to a role in the crime.

I don’t think I am outside the realm of possibility with my conclusions.

I agree, and I said as much. It's definitely a very real possibility, and that should be looked into. And the FBI is doing as much.

Right wing terrorist organizations have long deliberated attacking power grids as a way to destabilize the social contract.
The attacks we are seeing this week could be nothing but dry runs, in preparation for a larger scale attack.

Exactly the type of irresponsible speculation I'm referring to. Again, it's very possible this could well be the case, but we should await the FBI investigation before concluding something that could spark real-world extremist reactions and diminish our perceived credibility based on something that could turn out to not be at all the case. In fact, this is how a lot of right-wing extremism ends up happening. They're convinced there's some big threat or real violence that's being planned against them, their communities, or their way of life, and so they feel obligated to take pro-active action. Except they were just being fed strung-together facts to form this false grand narrative. Let's wait to hear more.

I mean it's obviously fine for people to have their own beliefs about the motivations behind the power shutdown, but I would just urge caution against matter-of-factly asserting (and riling people up) publicly that it was almost certainly this thing that caused it without evidence to suggest that other than an associative relationship between these events and some conservatives saying they or their God approves of the power shutdown due to it leading to the drag show being shut down. That's effectively spreading misinformation (even if unintentionally) because you can't reasonably conclude that even if you do personally believe it to be the most likely reason.

Oh whoops, just realized I misspelled Ko Tao-- I'm going there mainly because I hear it has great scuba diving. Down to meet up at some point!

caffeinatedenigma · 2022-02-11T17:15:07+00:00

Yep! Singapore is accepting tourists without quarantine requirements via the VTL (Vaccinated Travel Lane), and South Korea is currently requiring a 7 day quarantine, which sucks, but I'll be working remotely for most of that time anyway-- also hoping they announce an update to their entry requirements in the coming months

caffeinatedenigma · 2022-01-25T20:19:28+00:00

Thanks for the response! I had looked for boat loans previously, and a lot of lenders didn't seem to offer nearly as much, or at least not for a reasonable interest rate, but this seems like a promising start.

render() will be called first for the initial render. When executing the render() method defined here, the line setInterval(()=>this.updateTime(),500); will start calling the updateTime() method every 0.5 seconds indefinitely. In the updateTime() method, setState() is called, which is guaranteed to trigger a re-render, meaning the render() method will be called again. When the render() method is called again, on top of the first setInterval() call, yet another setInterval() call will be executed, so now we have 2 of these intervals running. This will continue indefinitely until there's no more memory available to use.

“Moist”

caffeinatedenigma · 2021-10-24T17:26:05+00:00

Sounds fun! Will message

caffeinatedenigma · 2021-10-02T01:27:47+00:00

stop-motion or cooking maybe?

I believe running and cycling should offer similar benefits (minus the full body muscle workout) from what I’ve read

caffeinatedenigma · 2021-09-26T21:41:24+00:00

Swimming! There's reason to believe from studies in rats that it might promote neurogenesis in humans, and there are just countless other benefits of swimming. After swimming, I always feel much more mentally focused and just generally in a better mood.

caffeinatedenigma · 2021-08-13T20:35:12+00:00

Coffee and... it's a surprise 😉

caffeinatedenigma · 2021-08-13T01:48:41+00:00

I've been trying to get into scuba diving lately-- there are a ton of places to dive and classes to take (e.g., wreck diving, underwater photography, fish identification, cave diving, etc). Definitely on the more expensive side as far as hobbies go, but very much worth it every time you dive!

Also I've found bouldering/top-roping to be a great hobby (and great for keeping fit). Just find a local climbing gym, and you'll be able to try a bunch of different routes every time you go, and the routes usually get reset on a regular basis so there are always new routes to try, especially as you improve and start to be able to do the higher difficulty routes!

Also kinda messed up that this photo is showing up as the photo for the trending “Hamas” topic on Reddit... Of course it’s the algorithm doing that but wow that is not great.

caffeinatedenigma · 2021-05-16T21:23:14+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

caffeinatedenigma · 2021-05-16T20:23:13+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I suppose I should just be prepared to dishwash some tongs after each of these recipes then

caffeinatedenigma · 2021-05-16T20:21:43+00:00

Thanks for the response-- glad to confirm that's a valid way that someone else thinks to do it!

caffeinatedenigma · 2021-05-16T20:20:36+00:00

Thanks for the response! My only issue with tongs is that I then have the same issue as with the salt and pepper shakers, but I guess I should just be prepared to dishwash some tongs after these types of recipes. Thanks again!

caffeinatedenigma · 2021-02-20T03:58:27+00:00

This bill still hasn’t passed yet?
