rezz

Why stop there? We could do long division before the calculator and hand write before the typewriter.

The building is hosting a party tomorrow so I was banking on a chance encounter there, but if not I think I’m going to have to.

Last week I entered the elevator in my apartment building and there were two women who started laughing and proclaimed “whoops we didn’t hit L”. I immediately replied “if that’s the worst thing that happens to you today you’re doing alright”. Followed by them replying “or it’s the beginning of a Dateline tragedy”.

We all had a good laugh then she introduced herself as the mother of the other woman who happened to be very attractive. We continued chatting and exchanged contact info.

I’m not sure anything will come of it but I do know that I had a much more pleasant and serendipitous elevator experience because instead of just smiling after they admitted their mistake, I threw out a silly reply which turned into what it did.

Unless they had a 6 month career they likely have still done very well

This might be the best thing I’ve read on HN all year. Thank you for the inspiration.

I was on a flight last Thursday and saw this happen.

Vitamix blenders are 8-10x the cost of a normal blender and have a cult like following. With the right branding home appliances can also double as a status symbol in American kitchens.

You can do anything but you can’t do everything (well).

Am I the only person who was unaware that pixel was short for “picture element”?

Yeah that’s fair, the same can be said about really strong people who only rely on strength. They seem really good initially but 5 years later they are still just trying their Americanas from inside someone’s closed guard.

Nicky Rodriguez, a life long wrestler was beating world class black belts in only a year of training. We had a D1 wrestler join our gym and after the first week was awarded a blue belt (usually takes 2-3 years).

They won’t know many submissions, and initially are more susceptible to exposing their back (in wrestling being on your back is the worst possible outcome where in jiu jitsu it’s an offensive position), but at the end of the day grappling is grappling.

Train jiu jitsu. I’m currently in Paris for the week with 12 of my teammates who are also now some of my best friends, all of who I met after I was 30.

Maybe go out to a high end dinner in Miami and meet people before assuming I’m a drug dealer.

No doubt, point I’m making is it’s not just folks from red states disregarding government advice.
