Animal languages

You know how for people, language changes over time? Some languages rise and fall. People study languages in school. Communities develop new words, and old words are repurposed for the times. I was wondering if the same thing happened in the other animals in the animal kingdom. Could a dog in the 1500s be ableContinue reading “Animal languages”

Video streaming services thoughts

I’ve talked to a few people about the strikes that are going on about actors and writers not getting paid enough. I’m not sure how any of the deals are structured between the video streaming services and the production companies and between the production companies and the actors and writers. From what I’ve heard, residualsContinue reading “Video streaming services thoughts”

Are there people who are good at guessing how people look based on their voice?

Whenever I’m on the train or bus, I unintentionally eavesdrop on people’s conversations. There are numerous times where I’ve imagined the people looking a certain way by the sound of their voice, but when I later see what they look like, I’m a bit confused that there is a difference between my imagination and realContinue reading “Are there people who are good at guessing how people look based on their voice?”

Barry’s Bootcamp Review

Through work, I got a complimentary class to Barry’s Bootcamp. I haven’t tried it out before, so I was interested in seeing how it was. I assumed that it would be a similar style to solidcore and my coworker mentioned that it was a bunch of running and some weights. Looking online, I saw thatContinue reading “Barry’s Bootcamp Review”

Etsy Store Setup Review

I went to a pet adoption event a few weeks back and I briefly talked to a person who fostered a dog. They mentioned that they created business cards for the dog and handed them out to people in a nearby park to encourage people to adopt the dog. I thought that this was aContinue reading “Etsy Store Setup Review”

Thoughts about the world – 4/24/2023

I’m watching this Netflix show called How to Get Rich, and the host, Ramit Sethi, helps people to take a closer look at their finances and tries to navigate them to their “rich” lives. Each person on the show has defined their “rich” life differently, and it is interesting to see how they plan theirContinue reading “Thoughts about the world – 4/24/2023”

First time going to a Jiu Jitsu class

One of the things I wanted to do this year was to improve myself as a person. This can come in terms of skills and in terms of being comfortable with myself. One of the skills I’ve wanted to learn for a while was martial arts. I’ve seen TV shows and read manga about fighting,Continue reading “First time going to a Jiu Jitsu class”

“Of Boys and Men” Review

It was a typical Sunday for me. I woke up, watched a bunch of YouTube videos before looking for volunteer opportunities and making lunch. I wasn’t looking for anything specific in the volunteer opportunities – just something with low commitment, short hours, near public transportation, and something to get me out of the apartment. DuringContinue reading ““Of Boys and Men” Review”

Vietnam Observations

I visited Vietnam for the first time and during the trip, I saw some “interesting” aspects of the country piqued my interest. 1. Motorbikes are popular In Vietnam, it seems like there are a lot more motorbikes and mopeds than cars. Everyone drives motorbikes including students and adults. Motorbikes can fit up to 4 peopleContinue reading “Vietnam Observations”
