Iβve been practicing cold showers for quite a long time now β about two years. The Wim Hof method really helped me a lot on this cold journey. I canβt say I love every single second of it from start to finish. Sometimes I still mentally procrastinate that exact moment when I have to switch to the cold water π¬ But once the cold drops hit my body, thereβs no stopping β itβs like jumping out of a plane with a parachute: the next meeting is already on the ground, no matter what π
The best part is the afterglow: that light tingling sensation, the gradual endogenous rewarming, and the crystal-clear mind. A small injection of stress gives you an energy boost that lasts the whole day.
Every year in our city they set up ice baptism pools on Epiphany (January 19th). Lifeguards and medics are on duty, they put up warm tents where you can change. Last year I really wanted to try it, but I was a bit sick at the time. So I decided to save it for the next year. And the weather didnβt disappoint β the day before it was -42Β°C π₯Ά But luckily on the actual day of the plunge it βwarmed upβ to -26Β°C π€
I did a bit of reading about these events and got some solid practical advice β bring flip-flops and a towel. Even ChatGPT tried to talk me out of it π The main thing is to dry off and get changed super fast so you donβt frostbite anything. If there were no heated tents and warming spots, I probably wouldnβt have risked it.
Strangely, my comment is blocked under the post, the algorithms are working well π
There are old photos on the Internet where Iran was democratic, but later the government changed, and now people want to bring back that time. It's a pity that they can't come to an agreement with the authorities now. There will be a third party willing to help overthrow the government, but they may also ask for something in return. It's more like a trap.
Over the weekend, I met some wing enthusiasts β paragliders, to be exact. I didnβt notice any fear, at least not on the surface. Just forward motion, pure freedom, a dash of madness β and suddenly your boundaries expand many times over.
Iβm enviously admiring them; Iβve only felt something similar once, when I went skydiving.
π¦ Base in 2026: ecosystem gaining momentum.
@jessepollak pushing onchain apps hard β from sports predictions (Football.Fun, Overtime, Bracky) front and center on @baseapp to cool innovations like Token Generation Ceremonies on Fey. Focus on real payments: stablecoins and sub-cent fees changing the game.
Aerodrome TVL steady at $1B+, Virtuals and AI agents generating millions. But honestly: not all narratives (like creator coins) are equally sustainable β need more long-term use cases.
Builders keep shipping. Onchain future being built here. #OnBase
Base ecosystem is evolving fast: TVL tops $4Bπwith seamless integrations like Allora AI for smarter apps and Builder Codes rewarding devs. οΏΌ οΏΌ οΏΌ Base App now live in 140+ countriesπ powering mini-apps and social trading β but letβs be real, the pivot from over-hyped creator coins shows theyβre listening to builders. οΏΌ οΏΌ
With $1B+ in crypto-backed loans and instant trading on Coinbase/OKX, itβs building a robust onchain stack for real-world payments and assets. οΏΌ οΏΌ Not flawless, but this tech-driven momentum could redefine economic freedom β stay tuned for more grounded innovationsβ¨
Holiday is a rare and pleasant moment in the year when you can gather with your friends on the slope and more βΊοΈ Just luck when it also coincides with particularly snowy weather

* NuwaScript β an intent language that allows an agent to plan actions as a program rather than "thinking step by step." NuwaScript implements the ScriptAct concept: the agent generates a multi-step script containing variables, conditions, and tool calls, and the interpreter executes it. This approach reduces the number of requests to LLM, increases reliability, and makes actions auditable; scripts are human-readable, and their execution is deterministic.
