Submarines work by manipulating their density, don't they? Then they just float at whatever level matches their density.

I would be equally amazed to see something denser than water swimming.

Mom called. She wants to know when to expect grandkids.

I get the opposite problem. If I get things nearly perfect on the first try, I'll just think to myself that I'll never top that and give up. There's something satisfying about seeing improvement. In the same vein, seeing results get worse is highly discouraging.

Does he even need to send them anything? Doesn't he just have to say a few words to give Ukraine permission to build their own? Although I guess if they lose US support, they wouldn't need permission anymore.

I'm not sure if "impressed" is the right word for what you're trying to describe. I'm just going to address the first example to try and figure out what you mean.

Stuff that has big value is worth a lot of money. Thus money is based on people being impressed.

This sounds tautological. Is "big value" not synonymous with "worth lots of money"? I'm reading this as saying "Something that is worth a lot of money is worth a lot of money, and people are impressed by things that are worth a lot of money, so if people are impressed by something, it will be worth more money."

Isn't that already how it works? Currently, US citizens still have to pay taxes when living outside the country unless they're paying taxes to a specific set of other countries. Although consequences are on the individual who fails to pay and not their country of residence.

I train primarily for powerlifting, secondarily for hypertrophy. At a high level, that means my workouts are organized such that each day focuses on one of the three main powerlifts (squat, bench, deadlift), plus accessory exercises to address weak points.

Do you know any exercises that are rare? Or ones that seem special to your locality?

That's kind of an odd question. I'm not sure what kind of answer you're looking for. People choose exercises based on goal, the available equipment, and ability to perform the exercise. So I've never seen anyone do a belt squat in person because I've never been to a gym with belt squat equipment. I don't see many people do front levers because few are able to do them.

How do you meet your protein or calorie goals? How do you track it? Especially food that is local to your place.

If you have a particular problem with meeting your macronutrient goals, then that might be a more concrete question to pose. I feel like this is a bit too individual to give you anything useful. Tracking, I do with Macrofactor. It's a paid app.

Question: What is it about spiders that you think generates that ick factor in people?

The mess of webs they leave behind and how you constantly have to pay attention to every surface you put weight on lest you end up with a splotch of spider guts to clean up.

What do you typically use your mayo for? I'm curious because all the stuff you add to your mayo is stuff that I would normally have in whatever dish is using the mayo, so I'm wondering if it actually makes a difference to have it blended in the sauce versus separate.

I've had the opposite experience. The older the pasta, the longer it takes to cook. If it cooks faster, that suggests to me that it has absorbed water during storage, which allows harmful bacteria to grow and the pasta might actually be expired.

Oh. Sad. This article's very confusing. I can't tell when it's talking about the high speed rail vs the high frequency rails.
