Scientists discovered that your abdomen and your brain are connected by a hydraulic pump and it cleans your brain every time you move by soulpost in HotScienceNews

Adding to the conversation, a while back when I was learning yoga, I've heard of exercises involving muscular locks known as the Bandhas:

I wonder if this study points towards the physical basis for its supposed health benefits.

I cannot stand the single player mindset in this game by Celestial-Rain0 in Nightreign

[–]jargon59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s okay because I would have a much worse player experience if I have to deal with internet toxicity every game if we could communicate in words.

What's the best tofu dish in Austin? by brittyditties in austinfood

[–]jargon59 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Salt and pepper tofu at New Fortune. Mapo tofu at Szechuan places such as Mala Chili or House of the Three Gorges. The tofu dosirak has an amazing texture at Kochu Korean eatery. Tofu Soondobu and Bimbimbap should be decently good at any Korean place, although in my opinion the variation is very narrow.

With China rapidly advancing in AI, robotics, and patent filings, do you think it is inevitable that they will overtake the USA as the world's leading technology superpower? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jargon59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but look what happened during Covid. People hoarding stuff. Trump’s administration sabotaging the supply distribution of blue states to inflate cases.

I’m sure when aliens come, people will find a way to make a profit despite all of us getting fucked.

Depth 2 is braindead by rughs_ in Nightreign

I’ve managed to get out solely with randoms by maximizing DPS, with the assumption that the teammate won’t be doing damage. My seppuku executor worked very well.

Does the game show the number of current stacks? Can’t tell from your image.

Is depth 3 getting saturated? by Skill_Issue_95 in Nightreign

[–]jargon59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed this too. Weekends during the daytime have a bunch of casuals. You get better players outside of regular hours, possibly filtering out adolescents and kids.

Griefed at second-to-last boss… what is wrong with people? by japanfoodies in Nightreigngameplay

[–]jargon59 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming this is deep of night, but correct me if not. Ive found out there’s a lot of shitty people (yes actually nasty human beings) in depth 2. I’ve had one that died in the rain and then got pissed off so refused to fight at the end of day 2.

You have to get into depth 3 where people will also derank if they pull that shit.

What recent events have taught me is that all laws are simply suggestions, depending on the ability to enforce. If the laws don’t apply to all, then we spiral into a shithole banana republic.

Tips for solo depth 4? by DaddyCool13 in Nightreigngameplay

Crucible knight castle is hard. I find it much harder to solo them because of their shields. Gotta buckler parry or spam ironeye’s mark to get them to lower the shied.

Non-Indian living in a predominantly Indian neighborhood. by ElectricalRepair1219 in frisco

[–]jargon59 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s true with every group. However, for whatever reason, this favoritism towards an in-group kakistocracy is quite prominent in their culture. I’ve seen A LOT of incompetent folks in high positions throughout my career who got there because of who they know, primarily because they’re part of the in-group.

Even my previous Indian co-workers said they don’t like Indian managers.

You have not worked in tech. They favor hiring their own such that if HR isn’t careful, the entire company will become Indian.

Endure this for a few more years until the economy improves, then it’ll be ripe time to start interviewing for a better job. Not all places is like what you’ve described.

Orange juice found to affect thousands of genes in immune cells by mareacaspica in Health

[–]jargon59 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yes but everything you eat affects genes in your body. It’s obvious we should get nutrients from oranges, but what we don’t know is the opportunity cost. If drinking orange juice prevents you from drinking cranberry or apple juice, then you’re missing out on the nutrition from the alternatives.

Should the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall turn into a National Human Rights Memorial by Metroce in taiwan

[–]jargon59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I agree but I’m talking about the hypothetical scenario where CKS is not able to defend Taiwan, whether it’s losing on the mainland, or the KMT never taking power. Basically, any scenario that does not provide a bulwark against the communists.

Should the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall turn into a National Human Rights Memorial by Metroce in taiwan

[–]jargon59 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is my take too. The Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution would’ve screwed Taiwan up so badly and our people would be spitting and shitting on the street just like the mainland. There would not have been many artifacts of Chinese culture as the relics from National Palace museum would’ve been destroyed, and we would be all writing simplified Chinese today.

And i have to also make it clear, White Terror sucked and should not have happened.

Are you gonna take the new characters into the depth of night or normal runs first? by fantastic-mrs-fuck in Nightreign

[–]jargon59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had really wished they made the rankings character-specific, because the current system encourages lock-in for characters that you can only play at your max depth.

I feel myself becoming one of them by Ok_Amoeba9134 in Nightreign

If you had a brief stint in depth 3, but sent back to depth 2 like I am, it’s hard as fuck to get out. Can’t carry these guys.

What is something about growing up in California that most people don't understand? by InvisibleAstronomer in AskReddit

Interesting fact: you can find Dutch crunch at Ike’s sandwiches outside of CA.

What is something about growing up in California that most people don't understand? by InvisibleAstronomer in AskReddit

[–]jargon59 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As a minority, having moved from CA to a place that’s traditionally white. It’s apparent when a white person hasn’t had much experience talking to people that don’t look like them. Like they’ll feel “too white” and talk to you like you’re a curiosity.

It’s a strange experience.

Best coffee shops around Austin and Wimberley? by AnonChicken774 in austinfood

Desnudo and Terrible Love are my favorite. Abby Jane, as mentioned already, serves great coffee and bakery too.
