It really depends on the location, terrain, weather, and distance. Most of my hikes I just go in trail running shoes and bring a water bottle. That’s usually enough for up to 5 miles. Further than that I’ll pack snacks. I plan for one snack break every 2 hours or 5 miles of walking. So a nice hefty snack can be good for up to 10 miles. Beyond that I need a meal, like a bagel sandwich. That’s good enough for up to 12 or 15 miles. Beyond that I might bring a pint of beer or something extra like a huge cookie. If you’re going more than 20 miles per day I doubt you need any advice. I’ve done 32 miles, and it was just a lot of snacks (and water).

As another commenter said, trekking poles are nice sometimes. For me I only use them when carrying a load, or for loose or slippery terrain.

Same goes for him.

She won’t learn to make good decisions unless you let her make bad ones.

I’m a real beginner with this stuff and I read through the install scripts before running them. But it wasn’t for security, I just wanted to see if I could learn some tips since I had already struggled to do it manually.

Memorized in 6th grade. An optional goal in class to complete the “60 second sweep”. It only went up to 9, but we had to get in front of the class and do them all in 60 seconds.

Tile or stone roof

Go to the library a lot. Learn and master the art of lock picking. Make more friends at school (networking). Wear crocs way before they’re cool.

The first thing was growing a beard. For a man aged say 18-25, having a beard makes people treat you like an adult, while being clean shaven you are treated as an adolescent. No I’m not joking.

Second for me was financial independence. Even a stupid things like exiting the cellular family plan.

Third I think is hobbies. When you gain self confidence in your skill in something you love, even if it’s just hiking or metal detecting, you may care less about others opinion of you.

Bodily autonomy

Krispy Kreme donuts. Cold Stone Creamery. Cake Pops.

In California Brook Trout is non-native, but we have a Heritage Trout Challenge where anglers try to catch six of the native trout species in their native streams. When somebody completes the challenge they get a custom certificate showing the species they caught and dates. So far I’ve caught one - California Golden Trout.

Interesting do you just sub buckwheat flour? I’ve had Ethiopian injera, which is like a sourdough Teff crèpe.

I like having a high quality camera, mp3 player, and gps in my pocket.

Yeah it’s better than in 1995.

• Vehicles have gotten much more efficient, quieter, and safer (for the occupants)
• Electric-assist bicycles
• Smartphones and fiber internet
• Making orders, reservations, and appointments online rather than with agents or phone calls
• Less crime
• More organic food choices
• Better coffee roasters
• More artisan bread bakers
• More locally made fine beer, wine, and cheese
• Less air pollution (including cigarette smoke)
• Better television and movies at home
• Affordable solar energy, batteries and off-grid living

I’m sure there more I’m not thinking of. I’d have a hard time going back to 1995.

Relating to people in person about online media or TV has always been cringe to me. If somebody is telling me about something they saw I tell them to text it to me. Movies and books are sort of a different story - they have enough depth to generate some interesting conversation.

It’s much better to relate to people in person about 3D in person things. In order to do that you need to do some of those things. Foraging, baking bread, art, live music, meditation, dance, martial arts, or anything else that happens in person.

I still pop into Reddit for a few subs and they’re not really that interesting to be honest.

Pick something fringe that you have a belief about, like Bigfoot. Look at the evidence, really look at first hand interviews. How many witnesses before it becomes plausible? Do those hundreds of people really get off on making things up?

You could do this with anything, even western medicine. It takes practice to figure out which part of your understanding was just accepted as truth, and which part you have evidence for.

The biggest bias that everybody has is thinking that a million people can’t be wrong. That surely some other expert would have discovered it if there was anything there.

I recently heard of some physics-breaking experiment that had been repeated by a few YouTubers. Two large torus magnets with opposite ends clamped close together. This object falls slower than one of the same mass and size.

You are not your thoughts, nor are you your emotions. You are the observer of those things. Somebody presses your buttons, but it is your choice whether or not those buttons fire. For example if a child said some hurtful things to you, would it have the same impact as an adult? I should hope not. What is stopping you from viewing somebody as a child, especially if they are acting like one?

In addition to cardio, try breathing and cold water. Always breathe through your nose, even when running. Try to breathe through your nose as a cold shower takes your breath away. Or go for the full ice bath. An ice bath tells your body (the producer of anger emotions and chemicals), “hey, I’m in control here, you are not good at assessing threats”. The mind follows the breath, or the breath follows the mind.

But if I’m being honest I’ve always had a hot temper, and what is really helping me is Lithium. It allows me to observe anger without being overwhelmed by it.

Facts are overrated

So what’s left to differentiate them? That they don’t serve food other than pretzels? That’s a big selling point?
