Read The Magnet<\/strong>
\nIf you like Recomendo, I think you\u2019ll like the new longer-form newsletter I just launched. Every week in\u00a0The Magnet<\/a>\u00a0I write about tips I find useful, things that interest me, what I\u2019ve learned, interviews, recipes, quotations, and more. I also include excerpts from my favorite newsletters. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

MasterClass courses translated into wikiHow guides<\/strong>
\nThe most recent \u201cdrop\u201d of\u00a0MSCHF<\/a>\u00a0(which deserves it\u2019s own\u00a0deep dive<\/a>) is\u00a0masterWiki<\/a>. They claim to have stolen MasterClass\u2019 content and paired it up with wikiHow\u2019s iconic visuals. I\u2019m not sure how accurate or effective these summaries are, but as someone who prefers to read rather than watch video tutorials, I appreciate this little unauthorized sneak peak into the MasterClass series. I\u2019m not sure how long this website will be up, so I\u2019ve taken screen captures of the ones that interest me. My favorite is RuPaul\u2019s\u00a0How to Be Your True Self<\/a>.\u00a0\u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Granite-coated non-stick cookware<\/strong>
\nFor years, my family has been using Le Creuset cast iron pans. The large one is almost too heavy for my wife to deal with. Also, they take a long time to heat up. While we are not ready to get rid of them, I recently discovered\u00a0Carote non-stick frying pans<\/a>. They\u2019re coated with some kind of natural Granite material and they have a bakelite handle that stays cool (unlike the Le Creuset handles that get extremely hot). The aluminum Carote heats up quickly, and it is the best non-stick frying pan I\u2019ve ever had. Everything just slides right out of it and it\u2019s very easy to clean with water and a paper towel. you can try out the 8-inch frying pan, which costs under $15 to see if you like it before buying a larger pan. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Quick research explainers<\/strong>
\nTwo Minute Papers<\/a>\u00a0is a YouTube channel featuring short videos (sometimes 5 minutes long) created by a professor who reviews new research papers in visual programming, artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer graphics, simulations, and other state-of-the-art computer science. He explains the research\u2019s significance, while running very cool graphics demo-ing the results. I find it a painless way to keep up in this fast moving field.\u00a0 \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Pocket gel pens<\/strong>
\nA few years ago a reader turned me onto a nifty variation of my favorite Pilot G2 gel pen, which is a mini pocket version of the same pen. Same liquid black, same fine tip, same profile, just a lot shorter to better fit into my pocket. The\u00a0Pilot G2 Mini<\/a>\u00a0is my everyday carry.\u00a0 \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Quotables<\/strong>
\nJust a gathering of advice and ideas that I have come across in the last few months and has stayed with me since. \u2014 CD<\/em>

\u201cI have been alive for a very long time, haven\u2019t I?\u201d<\/div>\n
Totally impossible to translate, but the nuance is something like: I have been caused to live by the deep conditions of the universe to which I a humbly and deeply grateful. P. Arai calls it the \u201cgratitude tense,\u201d and says the beauty of this grammatical construction is that \u201cthere is no finger pointing to a source.\u201d She also says, \u201cIt is impossible to feel angry when using this tense.\u201d \u2014 Ruth Ozeki (found in the\u00a0Social Social Distance Club<\/a>)<\/div>\n

 
\n\u201cTo realize your existence, do the things you know you should do \u2014 the duties that echo from deep below. Stop avoiding your life.\u201d \u2014 u\/TheEmployedMoth1 on\u00a0Reddit<\/a>

\n\u201cWhen you are making plans, you are actually not making plans but you are creating reality\u2026\u201d \u2014 Somewhere on\u00a0Reddit<\/a>
\n 
\n\u201cA big secret is that you can bend the world to your will a surprising percentage of the time\u2014most people don\u2019t even try, and just accept that things are the way that they are. \u2026 Ask for what you want. You usually won\u2019t get it, and often the rejection will be painful. But when this works, it works surprisingly well.\u201d \u2014 Sam Altman,\u00a0How To Be Successful<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
