Okay so I actually crushed an apple before I posted this which is what inspired the post. I just wanted to inspire casual conversation, ridiculous goal setting, and joking around.

I was inspired by an American pro wrestler in the Midwest or Mid-South(?), I remember seeing him on TV when I was a kid in the late '70s and early '80s. His big gimmick to show his toughness was to crush an apple.

I crushed an Ambrosia apple that was slightly overripe. I do not believe, based on my strength in that endeavor, that I would be able to crush a ripe apple.

Nice!

Start with achievable goals, and then work your way up to the next goal: pinching the skin off garlic gloves!

Please do your scapular retractions :) protect that rotator cuff!

You like literally have to buy 10 of them Just so you can roll one up after cooking for a friend and when they say what the fuck are you doing you say deadpan “what aren’t these disposable?” as you open the oven drawer to reveal 10 new pans with labels.

“This frying pan displeases me”

CRuNCH

I think that’s such a clever idea, and it’s kind-spirited.

I have always wanted to know how to box. Not because I want to hit somebody, but something about all of the footwork, core and the fundamentals that are strongly developed seems compelling to me.

A most laudable goal indeed friend!

I would like to suggest you incorporate the silicone grip rings.

Wow that was really thoughtful of you, now I feel a little bit sheepish saying that I can actually do this. I just wanted to spark discussion about silly things.

Dude there’s something wrong with your mind.

I was with you right up until you said avocado.

Sicko.

You don’t frigging know the price of avocados these days?

It’s not a joke to take an unnecessary cheap shot at somebody who’s already suffering homelessness and is at the end of their rope.

I don’t know why you think that’s funny, or why mocking childhood SA is funny.

My grandfather continually underscored to me that no matter what you try to do, even if it is a failure so to speak, you have learned. And you can carry what you’ve learned into your next effort, and be that much more strong and powerful. There is no shame in trying to invent something and discover that you are wrong, or start a business and not have it succeed, or try to approach something in a novel way and have it fall flat. That is the essence of how we learn and discover and grow.

Furthermore he taught me that you need to let people show you how to do things that you already know how to do. Everybody out there has a piece of priceless gold that they’re just willing to hand to you, and all you have to do is be willing to listen. And accept that while we may know how to do something, there’s always a better way.

Oh no, it seems to predict everything perfectly.

You just have to accept that the known universe is actually a 5D holographic projection on a the inner curve of a 7D frisbee that is floats through an unbounded, dimensionless 11D space that can somehow also expand.

Edit: also that there are infinity solutions to every problem. So tidy and elegant 😌

The hilarious thing about the crackpot index is that almost ALL of it applies to credible physicists.

Physics is in a really dirty place right now, where fundamental “truths” are exploding before our eyes and the “religion” of established physics has become inertial to real growth.

We still have people who will not accept that deep at it’s core, SR is broken and QM has torn off the mask of illusion. We have new JWST data that shows the Big Bang probably never happened and the universe isn’t expanding the way it has been previously thought.

Physics is in a sad place right now with people talking about multiverses and other abhorrent mystical nonsense. Oh, we can’t currently probe at sufficiently low resolution / high energy… that means it must be magic /s

String ‘theory’ is mental masturbation for mathematicians.

Hmm… nothing in our model or math makes sense… I know… let’s just jam all the artifacts into a dimension that cannot be measured. Ahhh… look how elegant it is!

Oh my grandmother had those little Red Rose tea figurines all over her house. Literally hundreds of them.

She treated them like they were priceless and would give them out as gifts.

I tried explaining to her that you’re not going to get a free item in a box of tea that is worth more than the box of tea - do the basic logic gramma.

This fell on deaf ears.

I let my emotions get the best of me as a young man.

Still though, the best answer for me now is to not let other people make their problems my problems. The old cliche of “no” being a complete and unambiguous answer. Repeat until heard.

I had a woman flirting with me yesterday at the bulk food store. Happened to be at the coffee grinder, and she was struggling with it, and I just spontaneously teased “you broke it I’m telling”!

This led to a little bit of banter and talking about recipes, which led back to how she likes to get her coffee here.

I told her how I like ro enjoy my morning espresso.

She smiled and gave me that flirtatious side look and mellifluously intoned “I’d sure love some morning espresso… Brought to me in bed…”

The words floated off my lips “is your kitchen floor cold? Should I bring my slippers?”

She immediately looked shocked, faced directly at me pie-eyed. “I should have known better. Typical response from a man.”

I was fucking gobsmacked.

Don’t ever tell me that men don’t pick up signals, we have been trained… by women, to never pick up signals.

“Jeff and me went shopping”

Vs

“Jeff and I went shopping”

If you can take Jeff out and it sounds right then it’s grammatically correct. For example you wouldn’t say “me went shopping”.

“That looks fake to Jeff and me”

“That looks fake to Jeff and I”

In that case you wouldn’t say “that looks fake to I”.

I never understood this until a technical writer I worked with made it so plain one day.
