I've used them for pwncollege CTFs but pwncollege is way below your level (I've seen some of your write ups before).

Bombing people (including kids) is not "trimming the grass".

It is though, the first person who used the 'mowing the grass' euphemism clearly talked about killing kids and preventing Palestinian women to have access to reproductive care (and the fact that it is almost impossible to report a rape if you have no doctor who can confirm it is a very, very nice bonus.)

>on the Christian and Jewish sides, it's led by people who have no sincere belief in the respective religions, but hijack it for their personal power.

Have you read the Old Testament? It's full of war.

When I get sleep paralysis, I either see shadows or aliens (the typical Hollywood grey ones with big heads) surrounding my bed.

Greys for me too, thanks to tv shows about abduction on tv as a kid no doubt

I did this as a teen but I wasn't trying to meditate. I just wanted to listen to my favourite albums without any distractions. Anyway, I'd almost always fall asleep. How do you stay awake?

I guess coffee helps. But yes, the line is thin, I also often feel like sleeping. It's much easier to enter this state while well-rested, i.e. in the morning or afternoon, not before bed.

But I think what psychologically helps is also doing this not in bed, if possible, because we have bed mostly associated with sleep.

But yes, it certainly requires some focus on not allowing oneself to sleep.

You might like the British TV show Grand Designs.

For the most part, he plays normal openings. If he does play something offbeat, it's because he's trying to avoid prep.

Plus huge amounts of braindrain from all over the world after WW2 (originally from Europe, but nowadays mainly from India and China).

Their sons however!

No such thing as a shortage of workers, just a reluctance to train natives and pay them liveable wages. Note they mention "skilled workers" then show a lorry driver and a baker. Young Germans can drive lorries and bake bread. These aren't particularly skilled jobs. When I read "skilled worker" in my mind I think semiconductor expert from TSMC who has decades of expert knowledge and experience, not a lorry driver. No offense to any lorry drivers on here.
