  1. Torturing a bull for entertainment is a cultural activity. The bull badly hurting the bullfighter is tragic.
  2. I don't really know, but I suspect that on sunny days. But also, I'm now looking at the dark sky and it's pretty good. Personally I also love rainy days.
  3. @Carl-Richard I can be happy, and see pictures. Are then color-blind people miserable?
  4. Fear of the unknown and fear of success are nonsense. You're not afraid of either. What you're afraid of is possible unexpected harm and messing up, respectively.
  5. What is listening, how to listen experientially and extract insights from communications, hearing another's experience as it is. What it takes to being ready and willing to grasp profound considerations. Like when the Buddha, in a gathering of monks, held up a flower and Ananda was the only one to grasp what he was trying to get across.
  6. I don't know about the first one, but YouTube offers decent auto-generated subtitles.
  7. I for sure am not. But I've had a couple of "sober" glimpses. Statistically speaking, not many. A handful plus Leo might be deeply conscious, but who knows? Especially as students, we can't really be certain whether those are authentic or not. It's best to be open and skeptical at the same time, and ultimately focus on your own work. You can always refer to reputable ancient masters like Buddha, Rinzai, Huang-Po, etc.
  8. "If you do not uncover the inner sources of joy, the outer sources of joy will become the cause of your misery." - Milarepa.
  9. "There ain't no way to find out why a snorer can't hear himself snore." - Mark Twain.
  10. "Creation is never in the hands of the individual. It ceases entirely when individuality, with its capacities, gifts, techniques and so on, becomes dominant. Creation is the movement of the unknowable essence of the whole; it is never the expression of the part." – J. Krishnamurti.
  11. Putting things together isn't creativity.
  12. That'd be hilarious, and extremely surprising. Although they play well...
  13. Nothing really, if you like it. There are currently two OneNote apps on Windows: OneNote for Windows 10 Microsoft OneNote The former is the one we're talking about. It's like a tablet-oriented app. Its naming is confusing as it is also available on Windows 11. Microsoft recently decided to consolidate its efforts on the latter, which is the desktop version, the one that works and looks as the one in the commonplace video.

  14. @AndylizedAAY isn't this one free? https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/onenote/XPFFZHVGQWWLHB
  15. Spain is in the top five, I'd say. We play pretty well as a collective with no superstars, control games with possession (even against Italy and France) and are aggressive at pressing for getting the ball back. But their style is often indirect and slow. Argentina and France are the main contenders. Portugal has so many excellent players, probably the best squad in the competition. Brazil is extremely offensive, it can never be discarded in a world cup. Belgium has miraculously f**ked up their chances at winning any competition with the amazing team they've had for the last six years or so. Awful defensive line currently. Let's see how England and Germany perform. Between these two, I'd pick England.
  16. The OneNote you're using is going to be deprecated in 2025, it has already been hidden from the Microsoft Store. Use an older version or switch to another app. Check out Obsidian. It's a bit more technical but worth learning after all. Your commonplace book is stored as local markdown files, so you don't have to depend on any company even if the app stops being offered. And it is future-proofed and free. It ultimately depends on what your preferences are.
