  • One time someone gave me an edible which I later estimated to be somewhere around 200 - 300 mg. I’ve never done anything more than like 50 mg at this point. Boy, was it a bad night. I was sitting in a corner and I felt bad but I had no fucking idea wether I’m way too hot or very cold. Also, I felt like my heart was racing. The next day I checked records from my Garmin watch and sure enough, my heart rate at this moment was 160 even though I was sitting completely still. I read about stuff like this before so I knew what’s happening and I did not panic but it was extremely uncomfortable.



  • Does anyone have experience with HÅG Capisco? I’m looking for something promoting more active sitting. I already have a standing desk which I love but standing for the entire day is too tiring for me and isn’t the healthiest option anyway. I think Capisco would be good because it would allow me for some time of sitting but without going into the “shrimp” posture. Also, I think some models can be raised to act kinda like a hoker which would give me a third option in-between full sitting and standing.

    It’s extremely expensive but I guess not ruining my back is worth it. I’m kinda hesitant though because I don’t have any option to try it in person and I’m not sure whether I would be able to return it.


  • You can absolutely workout at home with almost no equipment. You will need something for pull ups and that’s pretty much it. Google “calisthenics” - that’s what bodyweight exercises are called. It’s a whole world of knowledge with books, blogs and YT channels covering the topic. Many would argue that this type of exercise is actually healthier than using gym equipment.

    I started doing this 4 years ago and I can highly recommend it. I hate public places like gym and I don’t like wasting time for getting there and back so exercising at home is perfect for me.





  • I really don’t think context changes a lot in this case. Being frustrated doesn’t make statements like this acceptable. Neither does starting the sentence with “if” or being right (which he was).

    Believe me, my intention is not to attack or discredit Linus. As a SE and Linux enthusiast I have a great deal of respect for him. But this is not exclusive with acknowledging that he is just a human and has flaws like all of us.

    I brought this up to show that it’s more complicated than just being “really nice but very honest”, that’s all.
