This is for me THE thing with llm's. You can think about anything you know nothing about, describe it in a vague or obscure way because you don't even know what you would search for and out comes a bunch of stuff that allows you to get a basic understanding of it and then continue on your journey of finding out more about it. Has worked from the first release of chatgpt and continues to help me in more ways than even code generation does.
Also podcasts for the fringe stuff. After listening for 15 years i still think Joe Rogan makes the best podcast ever in terms of combining the fringe and controversial with the scientific. I don't listen to all of them and pick them by hand but i listen to about 1/3rd of them.
For lighter stuff i still flip to youtube but that's mostly entertainment though it did get me into things like fermentation and perfecting my steaks, so less dense information, more entertaining, still valuable.

My friend had 2 dogs, a small one and a poodle. Always when i arrived and rang the doorbell there would be a lot of barking.
Now the small dog (also like 14/15 years old or so) has gone deaf and as it turns out the poodle was never triggered by the doorbell, but started barking because the small dog did.

That's maybe not so good. Can't try to find another one?
I recently listened to a podcast about meaning, purpose, satisfaction and something else. The main takeaway that it explained to me is that something i feel like i have been chasing over the past half year: Find your calling. I actually tried but in the end it only made me get completely stuck in my life. I was thinking that maybe this is part of the process and you have to go through that phase.
I found out that a job is just a part of maintenance of your life. Like eating, going to the toilet or brushing your teeth. In fact it is pretty great that we get to think about meaning and purpose because we do not have to do "maintenance" 24/7 like a couple of thousand years ago. We have (for better or worse) optimized it to the point where maintenance only takes about 60-70% of your life.
If your job totally sucks you should try to find something new for sure, but i have stopped believing in "dream jobs" or finding your calling and make money doing that. It is great to have so many different jobs you could do and depending on what you are willing to sacrifice (income, spare time, agency, regularity) there are always options.
I think specifically in this space you get tempted to want to work on nostr or bitcoin or something like that. It is possible if you are either lucky or willing to make huge sacrifises. Only .01% of the world is going to want you to do something and pay for it in bitcoin. We have a long way to go to make it the main currency and then we still need people to do the job you are doing now, while getting paid directly in bitcoin instead of fiat. It will not change the job itself.
Just keep fiatmining, it is ok. Keep some separate and slowly build your stack.

That is what the barefoots are for. They basically mimick walking around bare feet. Your feet should never be locked in, it's why they have super flexible soles and a really wide front so your toes can splay instead of being held close together.
Your toes should naturally be the widest part of your foot, but for most people it's actually right behind the toes in the line of the ball of the foot because generic shoes are always too small.
I also try not not wear shoes (or socks) as much as possible.
I would like them to be repairable though. They are quite a bit more expensive than regular sneakers and in the beginning you feel like a clown if you look down towards the ultra wide toe part.

I don't want to agree but i have spend quite some hours on cheap knives trying to sharpen them. Watched several YouTube vids (they all have different techniques/methods) and i randomly produced a sharp knife on attempt 3 while i failed at least 20 attempts after it. I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong and have given up. Unfortunately i have a mix of knives that, if you want to use other sharpeners, i may have to buy several.

I recently figured out there's complete ai generated youtube channels for health that mostly try to push supplements.
I think you skipped over 1 important thing that i would put right in between nutrition and exercise and that is sleep. I would argue that you are better off sleeping in a good circadian rhythm than rigorous exercise.
Having a good sleep schedule with enough sleep and proper sleep hygiene (darkness, temperature etc) will have a profound benefit. For me it was the biggest direct benefit i have experienced in my way to becoming as healthy as possible. It also seems to be hard like nutrition because our scumbag brains never want to go to bed when we should but instead just watch one more youtube vid or something.
For me it was nutrition > sleep > exercise > everything else.
