THE LIFE of MARCUS AURELIUS

8,000 STEPS A DAY
"The idea that you should take 10,000 steps a day originated in Japan in the 1960s, but had no scientific basis. Researchers have now shown that, if we focus on the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, most of the benefits are seen at around 6,000 or 7,000 steps. But now there's a medical study..."

8 TACTICAL LEVER-ACTION RIFLES FOR 2023
“It is amazing to think that the lever-action rifle continues to thrive, largely unchanged, in the firearm world more than 160 years after it first emerged. Of course, there were early variations of the concept in the form of Colt’s Ring Lever rifles and the Volition Repeater, but the gun that most point to as the first true-lever action rifle as we know…” (Hannah from Ranger point shoots!)

HEINLEIN: MILITARY SERVICE GUARANTEES CITIZENSHIP
“There are quite a few good ideas in the book, especially regarding discipline and civic virtue being survival traits of any successful society.

THE FEYNMEN LEARNING AND TEACHING TECHNIQUE
Einstein attended his seminars. “Ultimately, the point of learning is to understand the world. But most of us don’t bother to deliberately learn anything.
We memorize what we need to as we move through school, then forget most of it. As we continue through life, we don’t extrapolate from our experiences to broaden the applicability of our knowledge. Consequently, life kicks us in the ass time and again...” Feynmen, Nobel Winner

WHAT IS THE BULLDOG CHOKE?
Essentially it is a side guillotine headlock taken down lower or acquired when low. It is essentially a mix between a headlock and a partial rear naked choke that can look lile a scarf-hold at time, more precisely a 'reverse scarf hold,' in that the opponent is face down, not face up." - Hock
