I find it funny that you are discussing how to block YouTube ads —- when you can just get YouTube premium. Makes me ask the age old question: how can creators supposed to eat?

I have had back pain and RSI for almost two years. My situation only got better after I started doing my physio exercises consistently. I also learned things from physios on YouTube (e.g. Bob and Brad) that made a difference especially with

I didn’t see the option to reply to your last response, so posting this here. Just curious, Do you live in a cycling friendly city? And how is the public transport? Also, your response confirms what I said earlier. Not factoring in people t

That’s why I said it’s contextual :) There is always a good enough balance (I think). Some of my colleagues live outside Berlin and I think they are only required to come to the office a few times a month and they haven’t complained so far.

Every time this topic comes up on HN, I see many anecdotes on why WFO is bad. My anecdote: I work from the office everyday (unforced). 20-30 minutes commute. I come in at 6am/7am and leave at 2pm/3pm. I do a 30 minutes calisthenic

Can I rephrase this to: It’s a completely different experience that people usually can’t find accurate words to describe to someone that hasn’t been there? Another question I have, If the experience is short-lived, what is the point?

by elvis10ten 3y ago
What is the value prop? I usually ask my friends who have tried various drugs about their experiences / how they felt. I find out for most things I’m able to do them without drugs: introspection, joy, shamelessness, behavioral changes,

Thanks. I’m in Berlin. Why do you recommend? If you have experience going to college as an adult I would love to hear it also.

by elvis10ten 4y ago
