Adaptability is key. Some may go to a party to "hook up." Some may go to a party to score some drugs. Some may go to a party to network. The author of the article goes to the party to have intellectual conversations. The author di

Did you ever play as a kid? If you had kids, how would you play with them? Do you play with pets? Is all of the above boring? I think I would take being bored in social settings as a creative challenge. I love the play element of social int

Leaving a party early because of "intellectual loneliness" is like giving up on dating because you feel that potential dates <insert made-up reason for them not liking you>. I feel there's just a low likelihood that in

It's a long article which says that Web3 is a database which nobody owns followed by a lot of hand-wavy stuff that you see everywhere else. The worst part of this is that I feel like I could get dragged into this. That at some point I&

Noticed that both you and the OP mentioned drinking. Just the drinking can cause much of this. Drinking screws up your sleep cycle, which can also cause much of this. Drinking sessions are also time consuming, so you have less time for othe

If the game were actually fun, there could be money coming in from players who value the fun more than making money. Axie may have an element to this, but I hear it's not fun. The term for these players is "whales." They are

I find Goodreads to be a great place to find books from the reviews. Generally you'll see at least one review which looks compelling. Usually what I'm looking for is not a book target, but rather an on-ramp for the path to find th

I didn't check to see how the data was collected on the chart, but might this count app downloads per person rather than raw download numbers? I might have an app installed on multiple devices, but I'm still using the same Google

Digital art seems to be a narrow definition. In the Philippines, people have been making money playing crypto games such as Axie Infinity. Before you can make money, you have to buy 3 Axie toons, which are NFT assets. Because many Filipinos

Right, I speak a sort of broken English to Asian speakers. Just dumb it down a bit. I always smile when a friend visits and tries to speak to non-native speakers the same way he talks to me and I see they can't understand him as he&#x2

I have used Dynadot for years. It's one of the few providers I know of which allows you to give back the domain name within the grace period (for a small fee) if you change your mind.

They went through the effort to get a job. Why not think that you might have to go through a similar effort to get into a relationship? And maybe they are looking out of their league if they aren't attractive enough to get dates. Maybe

I had one problem after another with WSL. That made me question why I was even bothering when I could just use Hyper-v instead. I still don't get why you would use WSL. I guess MS is trying to make a more seamless experience for people

Sleep is also about morning wood, which I suspect is important if you aren't getting action otherwise.

I have never had these benefits but I imagine this isn't something which happens on short notice. One of the issues with unemployment was that people would sometimes have to wait for months to get their assistance. When employers recei

My father worked on old cars in his garage after work and on the weekends. On the weekend, friends would flow through for a chat and to help out a bit. Sometimes a friend would bring over one of their own projects. Dad's shop was a min

Right, I work to keep my identity small and to be adaptable. Making things "always about you" is seeing the world through that identity tainted lens and positioning the world as if you are the center. I instead try to be observati

I have a Note 9 and I have given up on getting any apps to stay running in the background. I hate when computing devices don't let you use the thing as you like.

Right, but using Lightsail as an example to keep things simple, you're picking between scaling at 3x the cost of the server vs db service or a set $5 per database. I would still trust the AWS service with something mission critical tho

I wouldn't call hourly snapshots backed up to S3, monitoring and replication "trivial." They aren't difficult, but most people who don't already do this will probably need to spend hours on reading docs, setting it

Did you read what the service does? You probably don't need hourly snapshots backed up to S3, monitoring and replication if you are hosting MySQL on your local system. This looks to be more like setting up a managed service for product

If you're playing Russian Roulette, you probably still rather have that first exposure be the vaccine and then take the chances of breakthrough as opposed to the first exposure being the virus itself.

I can lose my sense of location when walking in an area which I have driven around a lot but then try to walk. Same for an area which I try to walk at night when I have only been there previously during the day. Or the opposite.
