They are probably still working, but you’ll never get the same rush of excitement/euphoria that you felt in the first few months. The euphoria is a negative side effect in my opinion. That’s what leads to abuse and addiction. Don’t cha

The article you linked is ridiculous… > There’s also the differences in how children are brought up in America and in France. For example, French parents have set strict limits from the time they are born. The children are raised with li

But OP claims to be committing nonviolent drug crimes. Depending on your philosophy you may feel you’re not doing anything morally wrong by selling drugs. Upholding the law for the laws’ sake isn’t obviously good. It’s admirable that you’re

I highly recommend this YouTube series called the Birth of Civilization for anyone interested in ancient pre-history! Super thoughtful and well researched. https://youtu.be/g-bQx0ZtHUw?si=y73_hKrYI_TMWL66

How much of a usability win is making things “real time?” Submitting a form and having the server do validation and render the error messages can feel just as fast. Plus, if you use the correct HTML input types the browser will handle the m

ctrlpaint.com is a great resource. The tutorials are comprehensive and free. I also highly recommend the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. Unfortunately there’s no hacks to learn draining overnight. Deliberate pr

I use colemak on the Kinesis Advantage II and I love it. Keeping the C-c/x/v keys the same is great on a split layout, assuming you're right handed. I avoid using the mouse as much as possible, but when I do use it there&#x27

I'd love to see stats on how many of the people involved in these incidents end up leading reformed lives. The mental health team diffuses the situation and no one gets arrested. That's great on paper, but what happens tomorrow? I

I regret getting the WQHD (2560x1440) screen on my X1 Carbon 7th gen. Text is too small to read without scaling, and I haven't figured out how to configure consistent scaling behavior across Wayland and XWayland applications. FHD is pl
