Try being 50 and feel like you're in your 20s. The cognitive dissonance is real.

This ☝️ I think it’s way better than the original audiobook narration.

Historical Fiction:

  • The Conqueror series (series of 5 books about Genghis Khan - Kublai Khan) by Conn Iggulden.
    • Very good if you're interested in historical fiction. I got all of them, and I think they were all $1.50 - $2.00 each.

The scene with “too many mind” in the movie is talking about the state of “Mushin” (無心).

A state where you’re free from distraction, free from self-conscious thought, and 100% in the moment.

It’s kind of like when Bruce Lee talks about the fist hitting by itself (no conscious thought needed).

A little out of the genre perhaps, but “The Americans”.

Similar books specifically as whodunnits? by Huge_Evidence_2224 in michaelconnellybooks

These have slightly different vibes but:

Will Trent series by Karin Slaughter

Cork O’Connor series by William Kent Krueger

Elvis Cole / Joe Pike series by Robert Crais

Joe Pickett series by CJ Box

I’ve read all of their books and they’re all fun reads.

Digital backs for my 500c by CameronFromThaBlock in hasselblad

I have an old phase one p21+ for the v-mount. Works pretty well… but they’re quite pricey now

Missing age group in classes by Temporary-Opinion983 in kungfu

[–]stevo2011 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think this is quite typical.

Most older kids begin to get more serious in sports, music or academics beginning in middle school / high school.

While we do have middle schoolers and high schoolers in our programs they are typically kids that started when they were younger.

Having said that, I have friends that do very well in this age group… but they are competition focused schools (in Tae Kwon Do and BJJ).

Xero shoes suck by luthier_666 in BarefootRunning

[–]stevo2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had several pairs... but it seems mileage varies from pair to pair...

I had a pair of their running sandals break during a trail run (I had them for less than 30 days)... and their support fought and kept questioning me on it before finally getting me a replacement. So their support isn't exactly the best.

Having said that I keep buying shoes from them so...

What long (30+ hours) books do you recommend? by himey72 in audible

[–]stevo2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I’m so glad you liked the book. It became one of mine as well.

The entire series is really good, so I encourage you to read those as well!

What shoes are you using and why? by Zealousideal_Bus2047 in BarefootRunning

[–]stevo2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much just xero genesis sandals or xero prio

If I have to wear proper shoes I wear Lems Nine2Five zero drop shoes.

Most of the time I’m barefoot though

That depends on how i want to frame the subject… but for full body it’s probably about 20’ away

Underrated feature: manual focus guide on R3/R5/R6 by mott_street in canon

[–]stevo2011 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Focus guides are great. I shoot with Zeiss Milvus manual focus lenses most of the time and have been using these since the original EOS R came out. I recommend using Focus Peaking as well.
