I have added the two works mentioned in the post by Kuhn and Fayerabend to my reading list. I have read some of Greabers work and while idealistic/unrealistic in some parts I really like the antidote to "popular" thoughts/theory. Can you recommend other books/works? I have "Small is Beautiful" on my reading list already. I wanted to read it after Conviviality, but never got to it after I abandoned Conviviality - but your mention of it moved it up my list.

There is use and there is overuse. What you are also seeing is lifestyle and socioeconomic influences. Construction workers are not necessarily in the highest income bracket, may not have the same access to healthcare or have the mental, physical or economical bandwidth to take extra good care of their body.

Any tips on how to find those people or discussions?

I did not know about that feature - thanks a lot for sharing!

I really like it! Sometimes I just want to read something random and sampling from small personal websites is a great way to discover new people to follow.

Thanks a lot for reading! And even going further and reading other posts than the one linked. I have corrected the typo - thank also for pointing that out.

Yes motorcycles are quite the joy! I am glad to hear of your discovery of that fact. I am a bit envious of you being in Portugal as I would expect the weather to allow for driving all year round?

Funny - for me it is the other way round. I always think of bikes even though I of course know of the underwear brand as well :)

I get your point. But it depends on how you read it. If I get joy out of writing then I would not consider that a waste :)

Thank you very much for your kind words. I think that I have finally reconciled with myself that I will primarily be sharing images on my own website and not social media, even though that may mean that very few people see it. So I am glad to hear you saw some and liked them :)

I think you hit the nail on the head here and something else I seem to struggle a bit with. I am very good at reading, thinking, contemplating. But I need to get more out of my head - from lack of better wording. I actually wrote "read less - do more". In my notebook recently. So I could not agree more with what you are saying.

Haha I apart from both of them relating to stoicism I am not sure there is much connection. But scrolling through some of the comments on reddit sure made me smile - so thanks for that :)

Thanks a lot! Yes, I agree that it is easier with physical books although even there I can already see that I may be painting myself into a corner. But ebooks are obviously "worse" in that regard. I loved when I found StandardEbooks.org and Gutenberg - all these classic books for free. But over time I have realized that I have so many of them on my kindle and always seems to find new ones rather than finishing existing.

With regards to cameras, I also came to Fuji although from Nikon. But I agree, the important part is getting better at photography and the better you know your camera the more it can become an extension of yourself.

There is just something very alluring about the daydream of having the new camera and taking those "perfect" images. When in fact nothing is keeping me from going out and shooting those "perfect" images with the camera I already have.

Interesting. I have read quite a few translations of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and also found a clear favorite. But I am actually not even sure which translation of Letters from a Stoic my current book is. I have just always liked the language in it.

Thank you very much.

I have started exploring Seneca/stoicism again. Prompted partly by a recent submission here, partly by personal reasons. Instead of consuming other peoples interpretation of stoicism I decided to go as close to the source as feasible for me. I have read Letters from a stoic a number of times before and my copy is filled with highlights, but this time I think I will try to limit myself to one or two letters a day and then really think about them properly.

The first one really hit me hard and prompted me to write out my own thoughts (https://jesperreiche.com/seneca-letter-2/) whether I will keep doing that I am a little unsure. It feels on the border of how personal I want to be/share on my blog.

P.S. I can see the irony in writing about me going to the source instead of consuming other peoples interpretation and then sharing a link to my own interpretation :)

Personal website mainly around photography, old motorcycles and random ramblings about IT, life in general and books I read.

Great idea! There was another some years back that I think died. But now seems as good a time as ever to try again.

I do not know if the author/creator is a user here on HN. But if you are, then absolutely amazing work. I love everything about it! You really did create a much more aesthetically pleasing camera and must have learned a ton along the way. I applaud your courage and/or naïveté to even undertake a project like this for no other reason than because you want it to exist.

If you look for the holes in the cheese you will find them.

I read it a few years ago and was severely disappointed. All these comments about Moby Dick makes me reconsider giving it a second go.

I do not know whether the author reads this, but I need to applaud the writing. Either the author is extremely talented and wrote this in one quick sitting or else there has been a lot of revisions to get it this short and concise. I aspire to be able to write like this - so really good job author!

I did not know about this. But suddenly Eminems Without me text makes sense all these years after :)

Now let's go, just give me the signal

I'll be there with a whole list full of new insults

I've been dope, suspenseful with a pencil

Depends on your goal. You could also keep your diet consistent and do more exercise to produce a deficit. If your goal is longevity, then this may be a viable option. If your goal is to be faster, stronger or bigger, then this is probably not the right approach.

But reading article the conclusion seems to be that we simply do not know enough about how this all works. Giving absolute ranges of calories also seems like the wrong approach. There are differences in sex, in height in activity levels etc. etc. etc.

Would someone on a 2000 calorie diet who was moderately active fare better than someone on a 2500 calorie diet who was more active? I do not think we have the answer to that.

I love that your analogy hit me so hard that I came to question my iPhone SE. I think the main issue for me is that I have not found a better alternative elsewhere. There are some interesting locked down and privacy focused variants of Android, but I am not sure I could use them with the banking and personal ID apps that are almost "required" unless I have to jump through additional hoops daily.

But thought provoking analogy - and thanks for that!

I work on old motorcycles and cars. I do photography both digital and analog. Then I lift weights and finally I read a lot which also leads to me writing a bit about the interests that I have.

It can be difficult to find time for work :)

My own toughts on this is that it is hard to quantify. The end result of a quantity-related goal should be to spend more time reading and not necessarily reading more books. Finishing a book can take anywhere from a day to a several months. If you are too focussed on the quantity you risk selecting shorter and more shallow books to reach your quota. So my unscientific goal for the last many years has been around 12 books a year. Which I have been able to keep up for the last many years[0]. That is enough to keep me reading and not soo may that it would run the risk of impacting which book to read next.

With regards to having too many books to read then consider two facts. One is that there is no price or gain from having read a book if only for the fact of having to say so. Reading is not the same as understanding or learning. Second, interests change what you want to read today is not the same as you want to read in a month or year. So perhaps your list of books you want to read today is 100 books or more, but perhaps that list is reduced to 20 books by just waiting a year or two - who knows.

Don't stress about it - there is nothing to gain from that.
