It was Alex Honnold an extremely talented climber. Evidently they did a brain scan of him in 2016 that shows he does not have the same response to fear inducing stimuli that most other people has. Some people say he is fearless. Even though I climb I didn't watch the show because seeing...

I lived in Dallas in 1972 when we had an ice storm that coated everything with ice for about 2 days. It was pretty thick (an inch in places) and stayed on the roads a long time. My dad (who grew up in Wisconsin and was very familiar with driving on ice) took us out one of those days and did...

I was a waiter at a seafood restaurant when I was in college. I started as a busboy and then when a position opened I became a waiter. I only worked a few nights a week during the school year and during some summers when I had moved away to university. I loved it and when I was looking for...

I love sushi. The grocery stores here in the San Francisco bay area are good sources for cheap sushi. It's good enough for a quick fix but nothing spectacular. For those who don't like fish sushi there is a restaurant chain, Kura, which has several beef based sushi items. In addition they...

For country based food types Ethiopian tops my list followed by Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Mexican, French, Chinese for the most part. What I love most are innovative tasting menus where chefs both highlight fresh ingredients and put unique spins on the food by mixing cultural...

I love a good Tuscan lentil soup but I rarely find them. I might have to learn to make it for myself. The soups I do make are a pork pozole which I love and a sausage and kale soup. I enjoy ramen but not the kind in the packages. I also like udon and enjoy some of the packaged versions. I...

I definitely prefer rare steak. For some cuts I'll go medium rare but that is a rare occurrence.

My last sandwich was amazing! My wife got crab from Costco and rather than eating all of it like we usually do my wife had three legs left and I had all eight of the largest portions of my legs left. I'd been thinking of crab sandwiches lately and decided to put off my pleasure and have the...

I love a good stout. The earliest stout memory I have was my first oatmeal stout I had from a brew pub in Napa that disappeared long ago. I had been drinking beer for over 11 years when I had it so I'm pretty sure I'd had a stout before but none of them had been as memorable. I recall how...

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know it existed. I'll have to try to find some around here.

I did for a while but stopped. It helped me lose some weight a while ago and I should probably start up again.

I've got a few things I have for snacks on a regular basis. I enjoy a Fuji apple when I get them but sometimes I run out or I don't like the ones I see in the store. I end up going through about 4 bags of Trader Joe's white cheddar popcorn most of the time. They also have a 100g 72% Belgium...

I retired about ten months earlier than I had hoped to due to a layoff at the company I worked for and then not getting another job in the following six months. I don't have any definite goals but some of the "productive" ideas for keeping myself busy (learn to play the guitar, read more, do...

Doesn't do anything for me. I prefer more modern colors and more interesting shapes. Glass chemistry and the array of available colors really progressed in the 60's. At one point in time glass formulas and class color formulas were military secrets here in the US.

Wonderful thread! Thank you @Bretrick for starting it. And thank you to everyone else who's contributed to it. I don't like the concept of station in life. To me it was a concept created by the someone or people in higher stations of like to keep those under them beneath them. I don't know...
