The Wim Hof Method doesn’t work well in tropical climates because:
-
Not cold enough for a “shock effect” – The water isn’t cold, so the body doesn’t react strongly.
-
Breathing creates heat – In hot weather, intense breathing can make you feel more tired and overheated.
-
No brown fat activation – In warm climates, the body doesn’t need to warm itself, so brown fat isn’t triggered.
-
Less sense of recovery – After training, you may feel drained instead of refreshed.
I practiced the Wim Hof method for a while and found that it is more suitable for regions with consistently low temperatures. In tropical climates, however, the method doesn’t seem to be as effective or appropriate.
I am setting up a version of Stacker News on app.cg — a new social platform designed to be user-friendly for both Web2 and Web3 audiences.
For now, I have purchased and registered a username for the community.
My next plan is to start posting basic articles about Stacker News. The essence of app.cg is similar to Discord but offers several superior features, allowing users to sign up via wallet or email.
Currently, I am encountering difficulties with automatically forwarding posts from Stacker News to app.cg.
Completely dry fast if possible. If you're not used to it, try intermittent fasting by eating only one meal before noon. You can practice this intermittent fasting once a week. The meal should be light, such as grains, vegetables, or fruits. After the fast, if you want to return to normal meals, eat slowly and in small portions.
Your decision to conduct oral examinations is reasonable. Oral tests allow you to assess many of the learners' skills, such as:
-
Presentation skills
-
Information organization skills
-
Research and information-finding skills
You can explain these benefits to gain the learners' agreement. I believe they will understand. As for other broader issues, I think they are also important, but more suitable for discussion rather than immediate practice.
From a personal standpoint, I support guiding learners to use ChatGPT. Tools like ChatGPT or AI in general are part of a modern trend. Learners need to train themselves to adapt to the times, rather than sticking to a fixed method. I believe that is one of the core goals of education.
This week, I’ve been setting up my workspace and actively meeting with partners. Overall, it’s been quite a busy week.
Yes, humans have feelings, intuition, and life experience. But if we believe that alone will protect us, we might just be fooling ourselves. AI doesn’t need real emotions — it only needs to understand and imitate them well enough. And it’s getting really good at that.
People say, “As long as we stay curious and creative, we won’t be replaced.” But how exactly do we do that? How many of us are truly shaping AI — and how many are just scrolling, consuming, and thinking less?
Saying “humans will redefine themselves” sounds nice, but if we don’t take action, we’re just stepping away from the center.
So maybe the real question isn’t whether we’ll coexist — it’s: do we still want to be the ones telling the story?
I understand the challenges of being a teacher. It’s a stressful job. There are times when I think, “Maybe it’s enough to just raise my own child to grow up well.” But some things aren’t for us to choose.
In our culture, there’s a belief about this. We call it: “The profession chooses the person.”
There are times when I feel completely powerless—like nothing I do can change what's happening. In those moments, I step away from the crowd. Quietly, I write something down in my notebook. Then I take my bicycle and ride slowly through the streets, not really going anywhere, just watching the world around me.
I don’t remember exactly what happens after that. The details blur. But every time I pull myself away like that, things somehow feel a little lighter.
I used to know an old martial arts teacher. Strict man. One day, a boy in his class lied—said he was sick, but really just skipped training to play games. The teacher found out. I thought he’d be furious. But no. He just handed the boy a broom and said, “Sweep the yard for a few days.”
No shouting. No blame. Just silence and work. On the third day, the boy came up and said, “I’m sorry. I was scared, so I lied.” The teacher nodded and said, “We all get scared. But knowing how to make things right—that’s what matters.”
I think about that often.
I’ve had moments like that too—holding on tight to what’s wrong, chasing every little mistake, thinking I’m doing what’s right. But the tighter I hold, the heavier it feels.
I’m not angry at myself. I know I meant well. It’s just... sometimes, being too harsh shuts people down. And maybe what they really need isn’t a lesson in fear—but a chance to grow.
Some lessons don’t need loud words. Just presence. Just patience. And a little bit of heart.
My condolences to you. In our cultural tradition, when someone passes away, a part of their spirit is believed to remain in this world. You may explore ways to help their spirit continue its journey in a complete and peaceful manner. Praying for the deceased and setting up a small fund to support those around them are meaningful gestures.

Oh, I see you’re talking about land prices from the perspective of resources. I think there’s another important resource we haven’t mentioned yet — clean air. In my country, many people are moving from cities to the countryside. There are many reasons, but one of the main ones is the quality of the air.
