I fell hard down the arctic exploration rabbit hole. At first it was just the adventure stories, people surviving in insane circumstances, but then a love of the ice and the way it makes our natural world so alien, and then finally admiration of the freedom comes with the arctic regions: no one is there to tell you what to do.
Most impressive. Now I'm gonna have to rip out my kitchen and rebuild it so all the stackers can see how mickey mouse my construction style is.
I'm curious if anyone has written a history of this concept. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me was a thing as early as mid 19th century, so when did "words are violence" start?
This is awesome! I had a similar experience (#1073543) at a dinner I hosted when one of the guests turned out to be a hardcore bitcoiner.
Very cool to have these experiences because it feels like we are winning. When you can't help but bump in to Bitcoiners, you know that we're making progress.
