Delegating as much stuff that you hate as possible: Hate doing laundry? -> Take your laundry to a laundry shop. Hate cooking? -> Always eat out. Hate cleaning your apartment -> Hire a cleaning service. Hate driving? -> Take Uber

Yes, it's cross-platform and the app is quite polished. Keychain doesn't even have a proper app on the iPhone, never mind other platforms.

Healthy and delicious mass market food. At least in the US currently it's either healthy or delicious, while in Asia and Europe it can be both.

I guess it's relevant. Here is a great set of videos from "Low Level Javascript" channel explaining how to write parser combinators from scratch. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oQLRhw5Ah0&list=PLP29wDx

Seems like you might have ADD or depression. Talk to your doctor about that. Proper medication might be the solution.

800-1000 characters is not enough. Should be about 2500-3000 characters to be comfortable with reading news and random articles online. I am at this level now, but can't handle novels yet. Need to learn much more vocab for that.

Are you serious? This site looks horrible. And the only reason it's not a pain to navigate is because it has very little content. I definitely don't miss those days of the Web when UI designers were not invited yet.

I now spend 4200 + utilities for a one-bedroom apartment in not a very old building (definitely not older than 20 years). Taking subway to all the central areas takes around 30 minutes. I guess Beijing prices are much higher.
