We ready? Yes. Okay, let's find the Endurance. We're still talking about Shackleton because this is the greatest tale of survival in history, and it's a story about failure. Success awaits; dive ones, let's go.

In 1914, Shackleton was convinced the greatest Antarctic journey was yet to be done: crossing the Antarctic continent from one side to the other. So, he dragged his men on a doomed quest. We tried once before in 2019 to search for the Endurance. It felt like my whole life had been converging upon that moment, and then it all went wrong.

Imagine being here in a little wooden boat, no GPS, no nothing, and then the leader says, "Oh by the way boys, we're stuck, and we’re going to spend the winter here." We watched the death of the ship. "She’s gone boys." From that moment on, he laser-focused on getting those men home.

Now we are stuck on I and losing time. Patience, we're not finding anything at all, and temperatures are going to go off a cliff. We'll have to call the search off. As long as we can come out of this predicament with our lives, we shall not grumble.

Why we go, I cannot say; today is the day. What the impelling force is that makes explorers, I cannot describe. And as long as there is any mystery on this globe, it is not only man's right to look at that but his duty to try to unravel it.

Laplacian intuition

So here I’m going to talk about the Lan laian, and the lassan is a certain operator in the same way that the Divergence, or the gradient, or the curl, or even just the derivative are operators—the things that take in some kind of function and give you ano…

Spaceship You

Pandemic season. This is not the first, nor will it be the last time you lock yourself down and we isolate from each other to protect ourselves and to protect those more vulnerable than ourselves. The practical effect of this isolation on you is that your…

Couldn’t handle it...why I just hired a property manager

They wanted to charge me seven dollars to change a lightbulb. Seven dollars! That’s basically a footlong Subway sandwich straight up for changing a lightbulb. So as soon as I saw that, I’m like, no way am I ever paying seven dollars to change a lightbulb.…

Experience a Historical Russian Bathhouse | National Geographic

Now, Russians didn’t come up with the idea of public baths; the Romans did that. But Russians did take the bathing ritual to a whole new level. Today, we’re here in St. Petersburg at the old Cossack baths. They were built in 1879 and since then have seen …

The View From Above | Stoic Exercises For Inner Peace

It’s funny to look at ourselves and see how we quarrel about the smallest things. Like the behavior of an annoying coworker during a meeting or the person who cuts us off in traffic. From my own experience, it’s very easy to get dragged along by a minor e…
