Curious · by Liam Eriksson · 2026-09-14

I tried doing evidence the boring way and it worked from the train station

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. evidence got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

The detail that surprised me was how much the kitchen changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy

Love the tiny experiment energy. It sounds small but the tiny repair matters

Do you think this would work in a smaller place than Kuala Lumpur? This pairs weirdly well with jollof rice

Mildly negative take: the simple version is sometimes just underexplained. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability

Honestly, great taste. The uncertainty is part of what makes it interesting

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 10 months. My friend tried it in Toronto and had the opposite result

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. I would love to see a follow-up after 2 weeks

This reminds me of something a friend in Melbourne mentioned. I learned that one the expensive way

this has cozy competence written all over it. A little friction removed goes a long way

Good reminder that boring can be good. I would love to see a follow-up after 4 weeks
