What Is So Great About Mister Rogers?

April 2, 2021

I grew up poor raised by strict immigrant parents who never hesitated popping me in the mouth for what they considered a “look.” I also never received much affection from my parents (I was 22 when my dad first told me he loved me). My earliest memories of receiving affection was this nice old white man on television telling me I was special. There was this man I had never met, telling me he loved me and that I was special just the way I was.

Every morning for half an hour, I was the king of the world who could do anything. A half hour, then it was back to getting yelled at and feeling like a worthless piece of shit.

How Bad Is Prison Food?

March 17, 2021

First, let’s take commissary food out of the equation. In Missouri they give you a 2000 calory a day diet. But that’s only if you eat everything on your plate. Chances are you will not. So unless you are able to spend money at the prison commissary on food you will lose weight.

I was fortunate to have loved ones send me money. I have never forgotten that.

Now the types of food. Some wasn’t bad but most was bad. Pizzas were like school pizzas. Square with just cheese on them oatmeal and dry cereal wasn’t bad but how can you mess that up?

What Is Mutual Combat?

March 9, 2021

What do you call a bar fight that doesn’t happen at a bar? This isn’t the lead-in for a joke, we’re genuinely curious. It turns out there is a term that defines those agreed-upon altercations. Whether you take it outside or are already there, a conflict that breaks out with consent is called “mutual combat.”

What’s It Like To Having Loving Parents

March 5, 2021

I’m not going to lie to you, it’s incredible. I was born to two loving parents who waited until they were well-off financially to have children.

The only struggle I’ve ever had in my life is with depression (genetic/hereditary, nothing I can really do about it).

I’m in college now, my parents pay for my expensive university with all their heart, they go out of their way to do little things to make me happy.

What Is Hollywood Accounting?

March 3, 2021

what is hollywood accounting

I’m a big Hollywood studio and I want to make a movie called Big Movie. It’s expected to break box-office records.

The first thing I do is create a holding company called Big Movie Holdings, Inc. While it was started by me, it is actually a completely independent company. I will do a deal with this company: it gets the rights to produce, market and hold the movie rights to Big Movie on one condition: it hires me to do the marketing and distribution.

What’s It Like To Die And Come Back To Life?

February 25, 2021

whats it like to die and come back

About 6 years ago my friend and I were on our way to pick up another friend from work at around 10pm. He was the driver and I was the passenger. We approach the intersection of my friends work traveling about 55mph (88kph) and as we’re entering the intersection a girl on her phone ran the red light at about 70mph (113kph) and we T-boned her. My seatbelt ripped the buckle from its housing and I went through the windshield.

How Does A Quantum Computer Work?

February 22, 2021

The way current computers work is that they use electricity to process information. Modern computers only use 2 states. Either no electricity is flowing (0) or there is electricity (1). This might sound complicated but it’s pretty easy. Think of a lamp. If you turn the switch off no current is flowing and the lamp is off. This represents a 0. Vica versa, opening the switch allows current to flow and the lamp turns on. This would be a 1.

You can use these 1’s and 0’s to do simple logic. For example, imagine a lamp with 2 switches along the cord. The lamp will only turn on when both switches are closed. This represents a logical AND gate. Swap the switches for electronic transistors and this is all your computer is doing. You can combine logic gates to make a circuit that can add binary numbers together, or a bit of memory, or a control unit. With a complicated enough set of logic gates you can do all sorts of math, render video, etc

Why Is Wrestling The Most Important Skill To Have In MMA?

February 12, 2021

Joe Rogan on wrestling:

“We said it a million times but it bears repeating. Wrestling is the greatest skill to have in MMA because wrestling dictates where the fight takes place.

On top of that, amateur wrestling training is so unbelievably grueling that the guys who get through it are the guys who rise to the top are the elite of the elite when it comes to mental toughness. That is a huge part of fighting. Mental toughness and focus and the ability to work hard to achieve goals under exceedingly insurmountable circumstances.”
