Game of Thrones
Could someone tell me which book I should read/listen now if I want to pick up where Season 3 of the HBO series ended? I listened to the Audible version of the first book after already seeing those events unfold in the TV show, and while it was stil…

It's all good @chrisbones. Sauna on!

Anyone Sauna?
It appears that I failed at conveying the right tone in what I wrote. I did not have one single negative thought or emotion in my mind while I was typing either one of my replies in this thread. I was simply doing my national duty as a Finn to make …

Anyone Sauna?
If you're not throwing water on the stones to fill the sauna with sizzling hot steam, you're missing out. The fact that you have a phone or mp3 player in there with you is making me think you probably aren't... or your electronics are…

Anyone Sauna?
Grew up having our own sauna at each of the several places we lived. Almost all houses in Finland have a sauna, and even many apartments do. Electrically heated city saunas are nothing compared to a proper wood-fired sauna by the sea or a lake, thou…

Joey COCO Diaz vs London Real TV
As far as I can tell (didn't get to see or hear the podcast), it was a perfectly normal interview that Joey himself was still happily promoting on Twitter yesterday or the day before. Then I guess London Real's unpaid interns and fans went…

The Duncan Trussell Family Hour

Duncan and Duncan's mom, thank you for sharing that conversation with us. Just bought Jackson Browne's Late for the Sky album on iTunes. Will be dancing to it with my three-month-old baby and hoping that one day we will share the kind of …

Why do Buddhist temples in thailand have so many illogical customs?
What perhaps bothers me the most when it comes to Buddhism in Thailand is the simplification, or dare I say perversion, of "making merit". You ask any Thai Buddhist about it and they will all agree how important it is to make merit, and th…

Comfy Computer Chairs
I've got one of these bad boys: Hara Chair Thales. The names of their models might vary by country though. It's a pretty awesome office chair developed by a Korean company. Not sure what their status is in terms of having a distributor …

Well, I guess I'm going to Thailand/Cambodia soon. Anyone want to meet up?
Nice photos, looks like you are having a great time @somedude ! I'm based in Bangkok so I'll try to follow this thread and offer some advice when I can.

Have you ever Snus'd?
About the cancer risk - I believe for a very long time in Sweden (where snus is originally from) they had a warning label on snus cans saying it causes cancer. This is also what we were told in health classes in school in Finland in the early 1990s.…

Have you ever Snus'd?
Snusing right now. I much prefer the pouches/portions. Nice while driving, even nicer while working on the computer. Keeps you awake and I guess you get a slight cognitive boost from nicotine as recent studies seem to indicate. Having said that, i…

Joe Rogan BRAND NEW COMEDY Special LIVE FROM THE TABERNACLE OUT NOW!
Yeah I was expecting a stronger closer as well, I mean the knuckles up bit right at the end was hilarious, but I wasn't really feeling the whole Ludacris bit.

Joe Rogan BRAND NEW COMEDY Special LIVE FROM THE TABERNACLE OUT NOW!
Bought, downloaded and watched it yesterday. Good stuff, although the bit about childbirth was a little ill-timed for me to be watching with my wife who is 39 weeks pregnant :D But she totally saw the funny side so it was cool. The last 15-20 minute…

BALLS!
Woke up this morning, grabbed my phone and checked Facebook expecting some typically low-impact input to get my brain started... And got this bit of news at the top of the feed. A bit of a shock for sure, but I'm glad the odds appear to be in y…

New Podcast: Tangentially Speaking with Dr. Chris Ryan
Thanks, will check that episode out next. Tough to juggle all these podcasts, got Kevin Pereira's and Bert Kreischer's to add to the lineup now too.

New Podcast: Tangentially Speaking with Dr. Chris Ryan
Just listened to my first two episodes of Tangentially Speaking over the past couple of days, the one with Duncan and the one with Andrew Weil. Both were excellent. I didn't really know anything about Weil before this, but will be adding some o…

why is there something rather than nothing?
I've been reading a book that's supposedly a pretty good investigation into this very question. It's called "Why Does the World Exist" by Jim Holt. I'm only 15-20% through it, been distracted by Mindfulness in Plain Eng…

Book recommendation: The Other End of the Leash by Patricia McConnell. Really good exploration of canine psychology and how dogs see their owners etc.

Just adopted a dog, need tips
If it's feasible for you to do, I would recommend that you consider raw feeding (BARF or prey model). There's a lot of info online, rawfed.com/myths/ is a good place to start. Sure, it takes a bit of effort but it makes all kinds of sens…

Visiting New York for the first time, seeking advice on things to do
Try an isolation tank at Blue Light Floatation? I went there when I was in NYC and thought it was a nice little home operation that was a good intro to floating.

Marijuana Recipes
The only one I've made is peanut butter. It's probably the easiest since there is no straining or filtering or anything. The ground up plant matter stays in the peanut butter and is eaten along with it. There's a big thread on grassci…

New Graham Hancock. Come get some.
Been looking forward to this for a long time. Will listen during my commute tomorrow morning, can't wait! For some reason downloading London Real podcasts on iTunes is really slow for me compared to the DTFH and JRE. edit: Listened to it today…

If you often feel intensely unhappy, try Eckhart Tolle
I'm a big fan of The Power of Now. Haven't read his other books yet, any recommendations? The audiobook is also available on audible.com so for those of you who haven't signed up for the trial that pays Duncan $15, there's your…

A mouse is dying in my bathroom and I must kill it
We had a mouse that would come into our kitchen, the little bugger even ate through the mosquito screens on the windows. Unfortunately the glue traps are the easiest to get here and without thinking ahead, I went with one of those. Fast forward to…

We are now working with Audible
I just went to discontinue my membership as the end of the first full month was approaching and the website offered me three more months at half price, i.e $7.95 or something. Couldn't resist.

A very good documentary
Even if I had land, it takes a minimum of 2.5 acres to feed an adult human with sustainable farming techniques. With this in mind, if every single of the worlds 7.68 billion acres of arable farmland was put to work organically providing food for the…

Perfect amount of cannabis to smoke?
I like a moderate amount once the day's work is done. Just enough to gain a slightly elevated appreciation for everything and a sense of relaxed presence in the moment. About two teaspoons of canna-peanut butter is enough for that, although of …

Ram Dass mp3 lectures?
I was just walking the dogs and listening to episode "Behind It All" of the Ram Dass Here and Now podcast. Awesome stuff. I mean they're all good, but this one had me laugh out loud two or three times. Just a really nice, loose, humor…

Psilosybin Solution & Simon G. Powell
I listened to his interview on London Real as well and thought he was a bit of a goof, but still it was good to hear an episode dedicated almost exclusively to psilocybin. The book seems to have pretty good reviews (and blurbs) on Amazon though, I&#…

Cuddling with a body pillow?

Bathrobes - yay or nay?
Nay. Then again, I'm 6'7" so they always feel small, maybe that's part of the problem. Maybe if I tried on a tailor-made one, I'd be a believer.
