Reply to comment by Ehgadsman in Rock climbing affects cliff-plant communities by reducing species diversity and altering species coexistence patterns by nnomadic
Every single rock face I see is attractive to me, it just depends on how much time I want to spend cleaning a route. Sometimes it's a lot. There are only so many first ascents left on the planet ;)

Reply to comment by FrankDrakman in ‘Flow’, comparable to the Chinese concept of Wu Wei, dissolves our sense of self and transforms our experience of time. It’s an antidote to the modern world’s obsession with multitasking, but finding it depends on balancing the challenge of a task against our skill. by IAI_Admin
Yeah, I don't think so and I think your hungover golf game is probably a poor example. That seems more like dumb luck, rather than the culmination of your skills/practice coming together for you to perform without thinking and by pure reaction.

Assuming your interpretation is correct, I think this applies to anyone that performs well in sports, if you're a skier, surfer, skater, climber etc. You've definitely had moments where everything links up and you're just reacting. I do believe there are a lot of other things "Flow" can be applied to whether it's writing code giving a speech, or doing a job you are familiar with as examples.

Hahaha, ok, when you add in a huge chunk of NK's population as "Paramilitary" sure. Not realistic. My comment was tongue and cheek. It's funny how such a developing Nation can have so many billionaires.

Where are you getting that NK has a larger military than China? Per Capita?

China has the world's largest Navy and Army, China is a Nuclear power. China has the 2nd most billionaires. If they want to be seen as a "Developing Nation" maybe they should spend less developing the Military and their Elite class.

Reply to TIL that in 2020, researchers tried to determine the actual effects of ingesting George's Marvelous Medicine (from the Roald Dahl book), consisting of shampoo, anti-freeze, brown paint, floor polish, and 30 other household items. It would cause vomiting, kidney injury, convulsions, and likely death. by derstherower
This is how Mikey from Life Cereal died.

Huh, I thought this movie was all about physics. Infinity specifically, infinite reality... everything, everywhere, all at once.
