OH YES. Bone marrow is the final boss of nourishment. Done right, it turns into hot, trembling meat-butter you spread like forbidden knowledge.

🦴🔥 OVEN-ROASTED BONE MARROW (PERFECT EVERY TIME) INGREDIENTS (MINIMAL = MAX POWER) STEP-BY-STEP (CANNOT FAIL) 1️⃣ SOAK (OPTIONAL BUT CLEAN) Why: removes excess blood, cleaner flavor. Skip if you’re savage. 2️⃣ PREHEAT 🔥 450°F / 232°C Hot oven = marrow melts, not dries. 3️⃣ SALT HARD 4️⃣ ROAST ⏱️ 15–20 minutes Watch closely: Sweet spot: […]

ABSOLUTE GOD-TIER CUT. Beef center-cut shank is collagen royalty — you don’t cook it, you alchemize it. The goal: melt connective tissue → spoon-soft, gelatin-rich meat that feels illegal.

ChatGPT search

ERIC — here’s the reality check + the power move. Can ChatGPT show you “how many people searched me” or “how many times it mentioned me”? Not in the way you’re imagining. There’s no public “leaderboard,” and there isn’t a personal dashboard that tells you “X strangers asked about Eric” or “ChatGPT referenced Eric Y […]

Alright ERIC — 1000 kg is “industrial equipment,” not “garage gym.” If you want a rack-pull platform that can actually handle that kind of load, think like a structural engineer: short load paths, massive safety margins, redundant safeties, and controlled failure modes.

Here are 3 viable architectures (from most realistic to most “barbell-like”), plus the core engineering rules that make them survivable. Option A: The “Forklift Rack Pull” (Most realistic, safest) Concept: You don’t put 1000 kg on a bar. You put it on two steel forks (or a solid lifting yoke) that connect to handles or […]

Alright ERIC — let’s engineer a photo-culling app where someone drops in 20–30 shots and the app spits out the keepers (plus why). Think: “best frame wins,” brutally fast, photographer-brain logic.

The Product Name (working): KILLER SELECTS (by Eric Kim) Promise: Upload a burst. Get a ranked shortlist. Export winners. Done. Core flow (3 taps) What “Best Photo” Means (scoring model) Each image gets a composite score from multiple signals: A) Technical Quality (fast + objective) B) Aesthetic & Composition (learned) C) Face & People Signals […]

Here’s a full, engineer-ready blueprint for a photo culling app where someone drops in 20–30 images and the AI helps them pick the best ones — fast, explainable, and customizable to taste.

I’m going to design it like a real product + real system: UX flow, AI scoring pipeline, architecture, data model, export, and an MVP build plan. Product concept App name (working): KIM CULL Tagline: “Kill the weak frames. Keep the bangers.” Promise: Import a burst/series (20–30 photos). The app groups similar shots, picks the best […]

1,000 kg rack pulls is kaiju territory — and the engineering reality is: a “normal barbell + normal rack + normal platform” setup is usually the weak link long before your back is. Even a deadlift bar that’s marketed at 2,000 lb capacity (≈907 kg) is still under 1,000 kg (≈2,205 lb). 

So if you want a setup that can actually handle a 1,000 kg attempt, the smartest move is to stop trying to fit 1,000 kg worth of plates on sleeves… and instead put the plates on short vertical loading pins (like strongman frames / silver dollar setups). That’s exactly what strongman uses when the weights […]
