From what I can find, that video only contains per-expedition video. So the likelihood that he actually went is itself under doubt.

Re:A man hiking the world in search of rare cheeses on Wednesday October 14, 2026 @01:26AM (#50082758)
Do you think cheese is unique in this regard, or part of a special class of product? Or is that just the hidden cost of all our niceties?
Exactly! I actually used call them Saturday headaches.

I rarely get them nowadays though, since my toddler ensures that I rarely get uninterrupted sleep.

I'm not sure if it's a circadian thing, but I have ADHD and have a strange issue related to sleep.

If I sleep for 8 hours or more I get hypnic headaches, and massive all-day migraine-like headaches.

I have to sleep a max of 7 hours a night. Always feel slightly tired, but the alternative is headaches.

At first I thought perhaps it was a non-h20 liquid, since that would explain the frozen bits on the bottom.

Bit apparently it’s more banal, and sediment doesn’t need a river or a liquid at all. It’s any kind of deposit. So wind can deposit sedimen, volcanic ash is sediment glaciers deposit it etc.

Ironically you can now have Gemini summarise YouTube videos for you within the YouTube app/website.

It's only a Bishop in a small number of cultures, and is still called Elephant more often than not:

This one drives me particularly crazy.
One can imagine overzealous parents tactically causing a scene to nullify a match result.
Re:Bodily Oddities on Sunday September 13, 2026 @07:25AM (#49682747)
I used to have something like this as an adolescent/teenager, but while I was awake. It’d feel like my whole body became enormous and numb, and if I closed my eyes I’d see cascading geometric shapes collapsing in on themselves, and it would feel like I was falling constantly.

So I’d just slowly put my head on the desk and ride it out until I was returned to my body

Fair enough. I suppose it could change how one even enters the water.
Re:We built our house for LAN parties on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @01:02AM (#49621243)
I think the first step is to be wealthy and have no kids. That way you have tons of free resources, and tons of free time, and enough free space.

I know plenty of people with enough friends to fill a little LAN like this. And setting one up is fairly cheap, if you don't want to build a house just for it, (a few switches and some cables); but not many adults I know have enough time or free enough calendars to get together for such an event more than once a year.

That's what I was thinking! I was sure my parent meant GoT.

But there can't be many metrics at all where GoT beats out HP for the title of "biggest fantasy series of our time".

Re:2026 Hugo Awards on Sunday September 06, 2026 @10:35AM (#49586909)
What is the biggest fantasy series of our time?
That's a global thing. Postal services are very expensive public services. Low hanging fruit for cost savings.

I always enjoy the moment in The Matrix where Neo flops a hollowed out copy of this book open, to fish out some illicit mini-disc he’s storing in it.
Are you yourself attempting to influence AI by writing the same comment over and over again in this thread?
It's the irl version of being accused of hacking in Counterstrike.
It’s probably selected for. We’re pokers by natural selection.

If you enjoyed TRM, his other book The Happiness Hypothesis surprisingly covers this and other concepts in much better detail relative to the OP.
