My two cents having practiced several.

Almost all of them are useful in that they are a form of physical activity. They can keep you in good shape, and can also help you develop discipline.

Many are more art than practical. Arts like krav maga or kali are more geared towards practical use (self defense).

There is also a thing you can generally think of as "energy" that arts may have that often trend to make them not very practical against arts outside of themselves. For example, if a wing chun practitioner attempts to trap with you, and you're a boxer, it just doesn't work. It's somewhat about range, but also the general "feel" of the art as well. JKD attempts to deal with this by teaching different arts that can be used within different ranges.

My one instructor also likened martial arts to technology, saying that they must evolve over time or just end up becoming ineffective for self defense.

The best thing to do in a situation, if you can, is to just escape. Your wallet is not worth your life.

Lol, I just read that one.

Not that the MAGA crowd paid any attention to actual evidence anyway.

Conservatives are already starting to claim that legit photos and videos are AI, like Harris' crowds.

Such fond memories. This and Shakey's.

I did the opposite, kind of - from a Blackberry Pearl to my Cliq.

Texting was def easier on them. Plus it was fun to pop the keyboard out. The slider was very satisfying.

I had this guy (Motorola Cliq) and loved it:

Yes, agreed. I do think overall that being a billionaire necessitates someone else (lots of someone elses) getting the shaft. But there are degrees of... billionairism, and she is on the right side of that, albeit still a billionaire.

I'm not down with billionaires either, but at least she's using her fame and money towards some good things.

Yes.

Also, chili crisp is even better. Def try it.

60mph/97kmh is not that fast, though. 90mph/157kmh is pretty fast.

I think the reason people are saying that Fahrenheit "feels" right is because we use a base 10 number system. 1-10 and 0%-100% feel right to us because of this. If you somehow knew nothing about each temperature unit, but you did know base 10, I feel like Fahrenheit would be more intuitive. Obviously if you grew up with Celsius that would feel normal.

Disclaimer: I feel like the US needs to adopt metric already. It's so much better.

I always thought it stood for user. I even say it that way.

But I enjoy eating both.

Now all the people they pay to solve these captchas will have to go find other work 😢

Maple leaves are pretty recognizable, but if I saw a silhouette of a marijuana leaf next to the silhouette of a maple leaf, I'd probably pick out the marijuana leaf first. I'm not really even a weed user. Might just be me, though.

Probably more recognizable TBH.

I def feel like I noticed this in my mid 40s. My face and hair all looked very different within a year.
