  • I've always been a casual runner, never really trained seriously and threw some gear on whenever my body started telling me it needed it. In recent years that's led to a pretty lax schedule. Yesterday I ran 5k and it marked 6 months of running at least once a week, which is the most consistent I've been in about a decade. I'm pretty happy with that.

  • What is your favorite decade for movies?
  • I'm partial to the 1960s. David Lean did Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago. Kubrick had Dr Strangelove and 2001. Hitchcock put out Psycho, Kurosawa did Yojimbo. Cool Hand Luke, Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy.

    Cinema was really ambitious and huge in scope, and directors with an eye for photography were doing some incredible, slow, lingering shots.

  • Men over 30, what type of wall art do you have in your home office or gaming room?
  • Over the years visiting different museums and galleries I would grab a postcard from the shop of a piece I'd seen that day that spoke to me and frame it on my office wall. Ended up with a diverse little collection of art I enjoyed. Sometimes people would come in and see something they liked that they'd never heard about before and I could talk to them about it. It beat spending the time in spreadsheets.

  • [Question] for the life of me i cant get my toum to emulsify
  • The only thing I can think of is that the jar he uses is very close to the diameter of the immersion blender, which restricts the oil incorporation into the emulsion. If you're using a wider jar it might be allowing too much oil to flow in at once and breaking the emulsion?

  • Studio Ghibli's "The Boy and the Heron" has won the BAFTA award for Best Animated Film!
  • Deserving. There's a lot to be said about making way for new animation talent but Miyazaki put out one of his greatest movies with this one. It's beautiful and moving and I had to pee the entire time I saw it and didn't want to get up and miss anything

  • How to best oil wooden cutlery and kitchen tools?
  • Howard makes a cutting board cleaner, oil, and butcher block conditioner. I use the latter every few months on our handmade boards and bowls and it keeps them well protected. The instructions on the bottle suffice for application.

    If your pieces are particularly dry it might be a good idea to use the oil followed by the conditioner. I'm sure other mineral oil products would do a similar job but I've had good luck with this one and a bottle has lasted years.

  • Are there any "diegetic musicals"?
  • In Once the main character writes a song that the plot of the musical revolves around. Hadestown too has elements of this. Neither are 100% diagetic but feature songs which serve the story.
