Ohh I'll have to try madhouse at the end of earth next! Thanks!

Question: do you know about many polar expeditions or just the doomed/mummy-producing ones? My wife is reading a book on the Endurance/Shackleton and I was wondering if you knew any cool facts I could impress her with.

AGH I ALMOST MISSED THIS

I do know some stuff about Shackleton! And other polar exploration attempts! And failures! So all my facts are just kind of general knowledge pool stuff, but I'd also happily call on lovely people like @areyougonnabe, @bluebluebacchus, and @simplyirenic who know so, SO much. (Full disclosure: my interest in expeditions increases dramatically depending on how many mummies are involved. Or frozen people in general. RIP Émile Danco, ilu every day.)

Polar bear liver is so high in vitamin A content that consuming certain amounts could potentially kill you. As William Stillwell says, "A single polar bear liver (about 500 g) has an astonishing 9 million IU of vitamin A, and acute human toxicity occurs at about 300,000 IU!" And Joe Schwarcz: "You could eat it. If you are lucky, you would live to regret it."

Roald Amundsen sailed on the Belgica to Antarctica and survived by eating raw penguin when virtually no one else would. According to Madhouse at the End of the Earth, he was pretty hype about the challenge of daunting, maddening survival and tbh was kinda into it.

There's a really great food called hoosh. The continental dish of Antarcticaaaa~!

James Clark Ross (of Ross Ice Shelf fame, among soooo much other stuff) was called "the handsomest man in the Navy".

The hut from Shackleton's Nimrod expedition is perfectly preserved well over a century later.

I think what is unclear is the gap is just just a random a bit. It's not a full measure. It doesn't even end on a down beat! It's so jarring!

me, who learns songs by rote memorization and once learned Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the piano by ear: hmm there are portions of silence in this song. dislike. i am going to change it so the silences are shorter. my wife, ex-band kid, who knows how to read sheet music and count the measures in a song: Stop. Don't do that. Only villains do that.

We kept things we had too much of. Often extra meat, pop/drinks and potato salad or other potluck extras.

Avoid video games that use extrinsic motivation. A video game should at least mostly rely on intrinsic motivation, meaning that the playing of the game itself is the fun part, not the reward you get for playing the game. If you don’t enjoy the gameplay, but you want to earn lootboxes, you’ve fallen into the intentionally exploitative system operating within so many games nowadays, and you need to find another game, because you’re not having fun.

It doesn’t sound serious, but this kind of thing can make depression way worse if you’ve already got depression.
