I have written a few pieces on lifting and I was thinking of covering various injuries or pains or problems though I am not fully comfortable with that as there are many things to consider and it is hard to give good, generic internet advice. Also I am far from an...
Stronk.
TRIGGER WARNING: trigger warnings make you soft and week. I would avoid them if I were you. I will start with another note of personal philosophy relative to Mark Rippetoe: I like Rip and think he did great work for fitness, though I do not fully agree on his...
TRIGGER WARNING: Going to the gym or interest in fitness has been linked by such luminary publications of note as Salon, The New York Times and the BBC to racism, white supremacy and far right ideology. Proceed at own risk. HEALTH WARNING: Gyms are known to the State...
“Science is supposed to be true and straight but many times its fake and gay”
Well, I think that…
I usually do not travel on vacation during the peak summer months. It is usually more expensive, more crowded and in many places too hot. I have changed this these last 3 summers or so, as the summers were rather brutal in Bucharest and I wanted to escape the heat. As...
Speaking individually.
Cha-ching!
When it comes to traveling, Romania is a fairly diverse country. While it has its share of pretty mountains of the Carpathian variety, the mountains are not overall as impressive as in the Alpine countries. Beautiful, worth a visit – not if you want to ski, to be...

Pie checks out England.
Disclaimer: I consider myself libertarian-ish, rather than The One True Libertarian. I want to get things out of the way by saying this is not an attempt at „Betteridge's law of headlines” but a serious consideration, a kind of introspection one should have on...
Time to think again.
Hey, a city up North!
Don’t just do something, stand there!

Something easy on a Friday morning…
Official stances?
Give it back? Compensate? How do you fix this?
Despite the very high price of gas, Bucharest has some of the worst traffic in the world. There are many reasons for this. The bad infrastructure, not great public transport, and the fact that cars are still seen as a major status symbol and one does not just mix with...
I traveled to Spain twice in 2022. Both trips rather short, more city break than extended vacation. Unlike say my trip to Islay, I never thought of writing a travel post and as such, I did not really take the appropriate pictures, which are at the heart of these...
