I've heard having lucid dreams is also associated with a higher probability of having sleep paralysis. Stopped thinking about training right there.

I don't remember my dreams often and when I do they're very weird—I never see my own arms and legs and feel like a camera—and even if the weirdest things happen I never realize it's a dream until I wake up.

The banker who approved the idea of anyone PULLING money out of your account instead of you PUSHING it deserves to have all of his certifications revoked.

Would he like it if the cashier took his wallet for money as opposed to him giving the money?!

If you do 5 Metro journeys per day—which is very reasonable if you're a tourist—at the bare minimum of ¥160 per trip, you would save money by buying the Tokyo Metro Ticket for 72h.

The Tokyo Metro Ticket (24h/48h/72h) is very convenient, though. I just looked at the prices and the longest one went from ¥1500 to ¥2000 since November 2025 but I think it's still very valuable, especially if you've never been to Tokyo and want to travel between a lot of places.

JR is better if you go to the countryside of Tokyo but for the city itself Metro is much more convenient, IMO. Perhaps it depends on the station you commute to, though.

When I travel to Tokyo, I usually do at the very least 4 Metro trips per day, and let's say the minimum fare is ¥178,it would come down to ¥712 daily.

You just cited most cities in Europe. Except the one you want to live in is probably one of the ones where Europeans wouldn't actually want to live (due to, but not only, pollution).

> it clearly is financially worth it to have a job

Yes, for the company.

Yup. Premiums change depending on the deductible you choose[1] and your age.

[1]: If you have the CHF2500/year deductible, premiums are cheaper but you have to pay that amount out of picket before the insurance company reimburses your expenses

Heroin is fine in moderation! /s

The thing is that it's impossible to moderate one's intake as, as you said, it's addictive.

I agree with you that the author of this project is catching a stray bullet, but I also have to agree with GP that `curl | bash` got way too out of hand.

I don't know where that came from but it should definitely disappear.

At least the developer includes the binaries for all platforms in the GitHub release page.

And in the GitHub release page they include compiled binaries anyway... Why would you advertise `curl | bash` as a way to install if there's a binary available?!

Download it, put it wherever you like (probably `~/.local/bin/`) and you're good to use it.

Sometimes I truly wonder...

Right!! Thanks for correcting me.

> My take would be that underwater temps cannot get below freezing

Yep, density of water changes with temperature—it's the only thing that has that phenomenon—and therefore the colder water is always at the surface. That's actually what made life possible since life could survive despite a frozen surface.

Happy to be proven wrong, but that's what I learnt making cocktails and investigating clear ice :)
