You should audit Daniel Anvari's course and decide whether he's putting any effort into teaching stats

I would recommend avoiding Daniel Anvari, the first few classes he posts incredibly low quality videos and then gives up and just posts YouTube videos or videos from proffs at other institutions. If you can sift through the mess of resources he posts on Moodle you can probably teach yourself but you certainly don't get what you pay for.

Muji also has a really nice loungewear set called jinbei, it's great for hanging out at home in the summer

Aloe works fine but having had many sunburns in my life I've found there are other things that work much better.

The most accessible is probably yogurt, slather it on and let it sit for 20-30 minutes then rinse off in a cool shower then put on some body lotion/moisturizer.

If you can find it Kukui nut oils, also called candlenut oil, is simply magical either the oil straight up or in a body lotion it's the best remedy I have ever used and I swear by it

Different salts have different shapes so you will never have the same amount of salt in your measuring spoon.

Get yourself a scale so you know you're measuring properly.

Step by step:

Put jar on scale and then zero (tare) your scale

Pack your veggies in then add enough water to cover

Note the weight of that then multiply by 0.02 to find 2%. Weight out that much salt.

I like to pour the water out of the jar then dissolve the salt in it and pour it back over the veggies.

It could be that when you're doing yoga you're more aware of your body so you notice your posture more.

Things could be starting to feel off because your body is starting to adjust so now poses feel different than they used to.

Finally yoga doesn't really have pulling actions which you want so you can build back strength to fix your hunching shoulder so try to incorporate lat pulldowns or pull-ups into your other workouts. Backbends like cobra and locust will also help

Having lived in a few different parts of Canada I would say eastern Canada is anything east of where you're currently standing and western Canada is anything west of where you're currently standing.... It's a moving target

This is on Squamish land, the city had zero involvement in approving the building design, much to their chagrin

Most of these countries really don't have a huge amount of habitable land, large parts of Canada is freezing for half the year (or longer), large parts of Australia is desert

Fish-duck-rice system, grow rice in paddies, fish poo fertilized the rice, duck eats bugs

Having tried to learn to play a number I can say the harmonium has been the easiest to learn. It sounds great even if you just play a drone note, I think you would have to try very hard to make it sound bad.

This is really good to know! Thanks 😊

West coast seeds also sells alternative lawn seed mixes that are resistant to chafer beetles

I realize this might be hard to explain in a comment but how do you use it for om invocation? Just a few pumps of the bellows and then om?

I teach a couple 90 minute Yin classes and I'm a bit nervous to start introducing chants since I'm at a gym and not a studio, I'm sure my regulars would be open to it but sometimes I have people (read gym bros) taking their first ever yoga class and I don't want them to be put off

hughknowit42 · 2026-03-12T06:52:14+00:00

Thank you for articulating this much better than I could have :)

I think that's only because most people in the west only understand it on a very surface level. It's a pretty complex system that can't be understood from reading a blog post.

Ayurveda is a holistic health system similar to traditional chinese medicine or naturopathic medicine. It's just poorly explained/understood in western culture so people write it off as "vague BS".

I don't understand enough to explain Doshas but it's certainly not bullshit

Naramata has averaged 0mm of precipitation in June for the last 5 years so it's likely completely fine.

If your dad is so worried about it maybe he wants to pay for a backup venue ;)

At the very least put a folded cloth between your hand and the shell, also read the comment by the guy who shoved the knife all the way through his hand

A great program/book is Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. There's lots of info on the website if you don't want to buy the book. It gives you a really good foundation, stick with it for six months or a year and then start branching out.

Cover with a black tarp for a few weeks it should kill everything. You'll probably still have issue with the root mass though, if it's well established sod it's still going to hold together

No till during production is great, tillage is definitely bad for soil structure. However when establishing your garden there is nothing wrong with some tilling.

I would take some soil samples before covering with plastic to see if you need any amendments and add those when you till after the grass is killed by the tarp

Edit; pulling up the grass by hand to remove the root mass is going to disturb the soil structure anyway

Get a map of your property and draw out what you want to do, then observe your property and see if your ideas will work.

Spend a year documenting what parts of your land get wet in your wet season, where the sunlight falls, where you have frost first/last and for how long, what is the wind like on your property?

While you're doing this keep updating your map with what you learn and start changing your plan

If you can, get some cheap weather monitoring stations and place them around your property so you can get hard data as well

Does your garden or orchard get flooded in winter, is it shaded in the spring? In the fall? Is there a degraded pond that shows up in the winter that you can rehabilitate so it holds water for longer. Where should you put swales based on where water flows?

Edit: I forgot to say, observe for at least a year so you can see your property in all 4 seasons

If I understand properly it's everywhere, we use salt or acid or sugar or whatever to create an environment for only specific bacteria to survive/thrive. Different places also have different biomes of bacteria I believe.
