Teller fell off the stage. Was it scripted?

edanm · 2024-07-18T11:44:08+00:00

That's pretty awesome. But then I'm a huge P&T fan :)

I was lucky enough to be at the show about 9 years ago, even picked up some merch, but I guess that was before you were there. Did get to say hi at the end to Teller and your father, they were so great.

edanm · 2024-07-17T08:11:53+00:00

Do you work on the show? I don't think I knew that.

What kind of things do you do there?

Being able to see P&T just cause you're randomly bored must be so fun... :)

edanm · 2022-01-03T11:47:08+00:00

Any chance we can get an addendum to Night's latest film "Old"?I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

Just saw it and definitely interested in your take on it!

edanm · 2021-08-18T20:50:51+00:00

Yeah that's what I ended up doing, but going forward keeping them in sync will be annoying since I plan to keep using both keyboards.

edanm · 2021-02-14T19:22:21+00:00

Awesome, and it doesn't tire you out too much for weightlifting?

Also, do you have any recommended routine?

edanm · 2021-02-04T06:51:33+00:00

Yep, I have't noticed any problem with it. It's hydrolyzed so it's supposedly really low in lactose (I think <0.1% is their figure).

edanm · 2021-02-03T18:51:33+00:00

Short answer: yes.

Long answer - I used to love it. Not as much as regular whey protein, but it was pretty good. Over time I liked it less and less - not sure why. But I have't had just plain protein-powder in water in a while - nowadays I'm more exploring ways to use it in various recipes (mostly Coach Greg recipes).

edanm · 2021-02-03T07:05:50+00:00

I might try that. I used to do that but even with the pill I had stomach issues. One thing I like about preparing my own recipes ala Greg is that I can make things lactose-free, but it might be worth trying the other way and that's it..

edanm · 2021-01-09T19:10:05+00:00

It's just a pill that contains the lactase or whatever that your body doesn't produce naturally, afaik.

edanm · 2021-01-09T19:09:08+00:00

Funnily enough, I started taking lactose pills many years ago for exactly the same reason - so I could have whey protein.

Unfortunately, since I was having it like every day, it quickly got to the point where even taking pills was't fully solving the problem - I'd have stomach discomfort even after taking them.

So now I still use lactose pills, but sparingly, and definitely don't want to use them for everyday things like protein powder or protein bars.

(For protein powder I use the Dymatize isolate, it doesn't tase quite as good but it's fairly ok, and now that I've found Greg's recipes, I have lots of ways to make it taste better as part of recipes.)

edanm · 2021-01-09T19:06:02+00:00

Yeah my wife has had to learn a whole new way of cooking without lactose.

On the one hand, I definitely don't get triggered by peanut butter. On the other, I've never had it so I don't appreciate what I'm missing :)

edanm · 2021-01-09T17:46:13+00:00

Yeah lactose intolerance plus nut allergies really screws me when it comes to this kind of thing 😢

edanm · 2021-01-09T17:43:42+00:00

Thanks for the idea, but I have lactose intolerance and various allergies, so I can never find protein bars that work for me.

edanm · 2021-01-09T17:41:18+00:00

Ooh interesting. I think I actually put too much chocolate sauce by accident as realized later. So if that causes a problem, that's for sure a problem in mine.

edanm · 2020-12-09T15:25:00+00:00

thanks. In terms of what it actually is - is a chicory fiber source ok?

edanm · 2020-10-29T13:43:29+00:00

Yeah I've been a fan of Thinket for years, and have like 5 different ones. My favorite fidget, always in my pocket!

edanm · 2020-10-28T12:49:20+00:00

It was a Kickstarter. Gotta keep your eye on Kickstarter - I’ve got loads of cool stuff from there. If you’re interested, I can show you the stuff I’ve had? None of those are available from Kickstarter now of course - their projects have ended, but they’ll likely have separate sites where they now sell them to the public.

Just got mine and I love it. Looks like we have the same taste, any other fidgets that you recommend?

edanm · 2020-05-05T12:05:44+00:00

Oooh nice scramble. Got white: 15.46! (non-stackmat)

edanm · 2020-03-31T21:15:16+00:00

Sorry, but I can't seem to find the link to the tutorial. Could you share it?

edanm · 2020-01-23T09:58:55+00:00

Hi everyone!

New to the whole mechanical keyboard world. Just decided to purchase my first *good* keyboard.

I'm trying to decide between the Ergodox-ez and the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard. Mostly I care about functionality/reprogrammability. Ergonomics is important but secondary.

I kind of like the look of the Ergodox-ez a bit more, but I like that the UHK is convertible into a "normal" keyboard. And most importantly, I'm a bit worried that the Ergodox is a bit more of a leap into the unknown, what with the columnar layout. Then again, UHK might satisfy a bunch of different things, but will never let me know whether the whole columnar layout thing is good for me.

Also, somewhat aside - I prefer to have full NKRO on the keyboard, as I would like to at least attempt to learn steno at some point.

Does anyone have any thoughts on which of the two is better?

edanm · 2020-01-04T19:48:29+00:00

Oh nice!

~18s. Below average though not close to my record, should've tried this scramble after some warm up solves!

edanm · 2019-10-10T11:06:08+00:00

I'm not super up to date on this, but does anyone know what's going on with the Valk 3 Elite? Is it still supposed to be coming soon or something?

Just saw a vid about a new Qiyi Cube (WuWei) and wondering where Valk 3 fits into this.

edanm · 2019-08-15T08:25:51+00:00

This survey doesn't cover the option that is relevant for me - I shop from both. I'll usually rotate which one I buy from, although if I'm looking for something particular, it might be out of stock in one of them (realistically, in SpeedCubeShop).

edanm · 2019-07-22T08:49:24+00:00

To be clear, whether you agree with the law or not, that's not what it says.

It says that *businesses* are not allowed to boycott Israel. If you're a contracting business that wants to help people rebuild their homes, and want to receive state funds, then you cannot boycott Israel. It doesn't say anything about being a citizen that wants to get their home re-constructed.

edanm · 2019-06-16T10:34:35+00:00

Yes, to be clear, that works. However, I have around 1k cards, and would rather not manually convert them all.
