16 years in Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, and Kenpo here. My absolute favorite sparring partner I've had was a traditional boxer. He hit like a freight train and getting through his guard required some serious creativity. Boxers are nuts and I really miss that dude.

Check out ENV -- Some of my favorite lyric-less music. There are a couple of playlists on YouTube with their albums. Firefrost is a good song to start with.

The genre is ARPG -- similar titles include Grim Dawn, Path of Exile, Last Epoch, Titan Quest. Usually two types of people get into them -- either people who like very mechanical games that they can sink thousands of hours into or people looking for randomly generated dungeons to blow off steam with. The former gravitate towards Grim Dawn, PoE. The latter more towards Diablo, maybe games like Torchlight.

I'm curious how far that stance goes. I live in an apartment and own a small breed dog. I work from home, so I'm with her all day. Additionally, she gets a minimum one mile walk in the morning regardless of weather or season, and the same after work in the evening. I've trained her since she was a puppy to be silent. She doesn't bark at all, the most noise she makes is some light whining when one of her favorite people come over.

In your opinion, should I not own her? Obviously I think I should, and feel like I've done my due diligence to provide exercise, entertainment, and training to give her and my neighbors a high quality of life. But I'm curious if your stance holds in every circumstance.

Writing from my second foldable, that's definitely subjective. I absolutely love them myself.

Foldable are taking an increasing percentage of the phone market's sales, and apps designed strictly for non-tablets aren't able to dynamically resize to meet the different screen requirements. This is Google expecting their folding phone to become more popular as time goes on, and so they're preparing the way for a better user experience on those devices.

Same thoughts here. I'm not in material sciences, so a lot of the paper is over my head, but if Meissner effect is observed at room temperature with ambient pressure, that's huge. Hope to see this confirmed in the future.

He's coming. He's coming. He's coming.

There's no such thing as bad press. All negative press means is that people are talking about it and that's engagement.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

If you're cooking, the strategy that has worked best for me is to measure all calories that go into the product, then divide it by the amount of servings you plan to consume. So if I make spaghetti and I plan on getting 6 meals from a batch, I'll divide the total calories by 6. As long as you're paying attention and accurately measuring out ingredients, it's going to be pretty close.
