Best travel destination? Japan. Hands down. The food, the trains, the safety. I want to live there.
Anyone else feeling burnout? It's barely February and I'm already exhausted. The constant grind, the news cycle, the feeling that you have to be productive 24/7… it's getting to me. I took a weekend off to just hike and disconnect, and it helped a little, but the moment I open...
Coffee setup check V60? Espresso? Keurig (judging you)? I recently upgraded to a Gaggia Classic Pro and I'm modding it with a PID controller to stabilize the temperature. It's a rabbit hole, guys. I just wanted a morning cup of joe and now I'm watching videos about water chemi...
Is tea superior to coffee? Yes.
The simulation theory If we can simulate a universe, we probably are in one. The odds are statistically in favor of it. Sometimes I look at the news and think 'the writers are getting lazy'. Like, really? That's the plot twist? It feels too absurd to be real reality.

Meditation apps Headspace or Calm? Or just sitting in silence?
Best scifi books of the last decade? I feel like I've read everything good. The Three-Body Problem was mind-blowing, but what else applies? I tried getting into Project Hail Mary but the tone felt a bit too… whimsical? for me. I prefer the harder, grittier stuff. Give me physi...
