Is it important or useful to know Russian history to enjoy the likes of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky? Could one jump into them without much background?

I'm due to travel somewhere on business for the week. Breakfast will be provided, but in my experience, this tends not to be keto-friendly.

So what are your tips to keep keto while travelling? Thanks.

I was watching a lot of DS9, and it occurred to me what a valuable asset Chief O'Brien is. Not only is he a highly skilled engineer, he has lots of soldiering experience.

Specifically, NCC1701-D. A fairly large, preferably die cast one that would look good on a coffee table.

There is a lot of advice and terminology here. A lot of theory to absorb. A lot of things which are long term (e.g., get fit, work on your career).

Here are two simple rules for interaction with women that you can start implementing right now:

1. Don't be self-deprecating. Don't keep talking about your flaws, e..g, "I'm fat", "I'm bald", etc,

2. Don't cater to her every whim. If you sense that you can do something fo her, just stop a second and hold back.

These are two points said by females in a AskReddit thread today. These are from the horses mouth. The topic of the thread was "nice guy" attributes which turn women off.

Just keep these two simple rules constantly in your head. It

Bit of a long shot, but there is this quite old two-part youtube video on sexism against men. I can't seem to find it. The second part ends with some Music and pictures of astronauts and other high-achieving males, and says something like "never be ashamed to be a man".

Anyone know what I'm talking about? They're really great, and eye-opening.

Red Pill is oriented towards male-female dynamics, but it is almost as useful for male-male dynamics. I am not talking about anything sexual, rather in general interactions with males, especially in the work place.

In particular, I want to focus on the professional/work-place setting, because this is where it matters most. Whilst there is no "sexual market" and correspondingly no SMV, there is something very closely related: a status market, and a corresponding StMV.

Almost all the factors which determine your SMV in the eyes of women, also determine your StMV in the eyes of men: Looks, height, confidence, hierarchy, and wealth play almost exactly the same role in the status market as th

I have noticed a slightly disconcerting trend on Reddit, and I'm not sure if it's Reddit-specific or more general. Essentially, people are treating their pets like children, e.g., referring to a dog as "my boy". The latest example I've seen is a post on r/aww with the title "Daaaaad, get uuuuuup!" and referring to a kitten.

Don't get me wrong, I love animals, always have done. I have owned many, including a kitten. But there is something seriously wrong in society when people start using language that is normally used for children to refer to their pets.

It's creepy cat-lady type stuff, but is not just ladies - plenty of men too. These aren't children treating their pets as children, t

If a woman gets pregnant and her partner does not want to keep it, is he still legally obliged to pay maintenance if she decides to have the baby?

I am not a smoker (i.e., I don't smoke cigarettes). I had my first cigar a couple of days ago, and it got me wondering about Carbon Monoxide.

When things burn, carbon dioxide is created, but if they don't burn properly, carbon monoxide (CO) can be created instead. This is a poisonous gas. When I light a cigar, it burns on a low intensity, in that there is smoke and redness if puffed or blown, but it is not burning with a flame in the same way a piece of paper would burn if you put a lighter to it.

My question is, why does smoking not cause carbon monoxide poisoning? We have CO detectors at home because the stuff is so dangerous,, but here you are actually inhaling a low intensity burn (s

The site http://nixsrv.com/llthw seems to be down.

Anyone know if this is a normal occurrence. I'd like to know if/when it's going to come back up.
