🧐 The lack of scepticism deployed on social media with regards to fitness is quite bonkers. If you found out someone who had been advising you on how to get to rich had been handed $1mil to start their portfolio, would their advice feel as relevant to you?

I know plenty of people in good shape who haven’t got a fucking clue why or how other than that it requires some effort 🤷🏻‍♂️ The reason they’ve got a bigger chest than their other friend who works out? “Oh, my chest workouts are INNNSANNNEE” and not “I’ve got a large rib cage & good insertions + I train pushing movements often”. Thankfully most of them aren’t coaches, but there are plenty online selling their magical programs or providing advice with no context.
-
I could have easily been one of them. Once we hit puberty, my siblings & I were all slim and had solid intuitive eating habits having grown up in an essentially sugar-free, junkfood-free household. I was just a “hard-gainer”, not helped by preferring a nutrient-dense diet. Eating enough pizzas and spending enough hours in the gym would probably have given me a physique that convinced people I knew everything necessary to help them. In reality it would have equipped me to help no one other than myself (and barely).
-
BUT, what if you were talking to a financial advisor who had helped dozens of people with your risk appetite and disposable income build a strong investment portfolio? That might be someone worth taking advice from...
-
Likewise with a coach who has shown an ability to get results with either a wide range of clients or a large number of clients with a similar profile to yourself. Keep in mind that coaches who only train the genetically gifted (like athletes) end up with a comically poor perspective on what the general population need and their $19.99 programs will probably display that. New mums taking training advice from some 22 year old failed college athlete turned callisthenics advocate might want to re-think.
-
Genetics aren’t to be used as a means of discrediting someone’s achievements or justifying someone’s lack thereof, but they should not be discounted when assuming someone’s personal results warrant taking their advice.

Chloé Zhao and ‘Nomadland’ Win at 2021 Oscars
趙婷獲奧斯卡最佳導演獎，《遊牧人生》獲最佳影片

Good news is always welcome 🎉🎉🎉

★★★★★★★★★★★★

“Nomadland” was named best picture and Chloé Zhao won best director at Sunday night’s sleepy and surreal 93rd Academy Awards, a stage show broadcast on television about films mostly distributed on the internet.

🎬 sleepy 寂靜的；冷清的 ; 倦睏的，打瞌睡的*
🎬 surreal 離奇的；超現實的；夢幻般的

洛杉磯——週日，在無甚亮點又相當魔幻的第93屆奧斯卡頒獎禮上，《遊牧人生》(Nomadland)獲得最佳影片獎，趙婷拿下最佳導演獎。包括在這場直播舞台秀裡的大部分影片都是在網上發行的。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

In a major upset, Anthony Hopkins was honored as best actor for “The Father,” beating out the late Chadwick Boseman (“Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”), who was the favorite going into the night. Frances McDormand was named best actress for “Nomadland.”

🎬 a major upset 爆冷門
🎬 the favorite 最被看好的

安東尼·霍普金斯(Anthony Hopkins)憑藉《困在時間裡的父親》(The Father)擊敗了已故的乍得維克·博斯曼（[Chadwick Boseman]，《藍調天后》[Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom]）獲得最佳男主角，後者原本是當晚最被看好的人選。《遊牧人生》的弗朗西絲·麥克多曼德(Frances McDormand)獲得了最佳女主角。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Daniel Kaluuya was recognized as best supporting actor for playing the Black Panther leader Fred Hampton in “Judas and the Black Messiah.” “Bro, we out here!” Kaluuya shouted in joy before changing gears and crediting Hampton (“what a man, what a man”) and ending with the cri de coeur, “When they played divide and conquer, we say unite and ascend.”

🎬 best supporting actor 最佳配角
🎬 shift/change gear(s) 改變方法 ; 換個方式 ; 改變調子
🎬 play divide and conquer 玩起各個擊破
🎬 unite and ascend 團結和進步 ; ascend 上升 ; 登上

丹尼爾·卡盧亞(Daniel Kaluuya)憑藉在《猶大與黑彌賽亞》(Judas and the Black Messiah)中扮演黑豹黨領袖弗雷德·漢普頓(Fred Hampton)拿下最佳男配角。「兄弟，我們來了！」卡盧亞興高采烈地叫道，隨後他換了語氣，稱讚了漢普頓（「多麼了不起的人啊，多麼了不起」），並以一段有力呼籲結束了發言：「當他們玩起各個擊破那一套，我們就要講團結和進步。」

★★★★★★★★★★★★

The supporting actress award went to Yuh-Jung Youn for playing a comically cantankerous grandmother in “Minari.” She was the first Korean performer to win an acting Oscar, and only the second Asian woman; the first was Miyoshi Umeki, a Japanese-born American actress who was recognized in 1958 for playing a bride who encounters racism in “Sayonara.”

🎬 cantankerous 愛爭吵且抱怨不休的
🎬 encounters racism 遭遇種族歧視

在《米納裡》(Minari)中飾演了一位滑稽而古怪的祖母的尹汝貞(Yuh-Jung Youn)拿下最佳女配角。她是首位獲得奧斯卡表演獎的韓國演員，也是第二位獲得此獎的亞裔女性；第一位是日裔美籍女演員梅木三吉，1958年，她憑藉在《櫻花戀》(Sayonara)中扮演遭遇種族歧視的新娘獲得此獎。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Zhao won best director for “Nomadland,” a bittersweet meditation on grief and the damaged American dream. Zhao, who is Chinese, became only the second woman, and the first woman of color, to win the award. (Kathryn Bigelow was celebrated in 2010 for directing “The Hurt Locker.”)

🎬 bittersweet 苦中有樂的
🎬 woman of color 有色人種女性

趙婷憑藉《遊牧人生》拿下最佳導演獎，該片是對悲傷和破滅的美國夢的一次苦樂參半的沉思。作為華人的趙婷成為第二位獲得該獎的女性，也是第一位獲獎的有色人種女性。（2010年，執導《拆彈部隊》[The Hurt Locker]的凱瑟琳·畢格羅[Kathryn Bigelow]獲得此獎。）

★★★★★★★★★★★★

“I’ve been thinking a lot lately of how I keep going when things get hard,” she said in her acceptance speech, referring to a Chinese poem she used to read with her father that began with the phrase “People at birth are entirely good.”

🎬 acceptance speech 獲獎致辭/演講

「近來我常在思考，是什麼支撐我在困境中堅持下來，」她在獲獎致辭中說，她引用了與父親一起讀過的中國詩歌，其開頭就是「人之初，性本善」。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

I've been thinking about what kind of content I want to publish to YouTube. I bought a lot of expensive equipment last year in order to capture footage of retro games, including a Micomsoft XCapture-1 capture-card and Open Source Scan Converter line-multiplier (OSSC), and so I wanted to get some use out of them.

I do want to make reviews and top-ten lists in the future, but for now, I decided to make a quick video chronicling one playthrough of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on Sega Genesis/Megadrive.

I played the game on a Model 1 NTSC Sega Genesis using a Mega EverDrive X7 flash-cartridge even though I have two real copies of Sonic 2, one of which is featured in this video's thumbnail. I used an HD Retrovision component-video cable to output video from the console to my OSSC, which line-quadrupled the image to 1280 x 960. The OSSC sent the video to my XCapture-1 via HDMI, which sent the data to my PC via USB3, while simultaneously passing through the video to my monitor via an HDMI-out. I used Micomsoft's own VideoKeeper2 software to capture the footage on my Windows PC. In short, it was a big mess of cables.

After my playthrough, I used Blackmagic Design's free video-editor called DaVinci Resolve to upscale the 960p image to 1080p. I then used Handbrake to compress the video a little bit so that I would have less data to upload to YouTube.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. What you see here is how I normally play the game. I usually ignore the 3D half-pipe bonus-levels, try to get 100 rings on every stage, and overall I don't try to complete stages as quickly as possible. Contrary to popular belief, Sonic-games can be played methodically with occasional bursts of speed in the mix.

Oil Ocean Zone is where I usually start having trouble keeping rings because those flying seahorses come out of nowhere. Metropolis Zone features comically-cheap enemy-placement that results in rings lost as well.

I know that a lot of you subscribed because of my Splatoon-montages, and for that, I thank you very much. I hope that you will stick around for the next chapter of this channel as I branch out and explore different areas of my gaming-palate and life.
