This reminds me of an exercise from David Allen's "Getting Things Done" called "Mind Sweeping" or "Brain Dumping": https://gettingthingsdone.com/2015/05/podcast-03-david-allen...

Not answering your question, but making sure the clarification is made that we (in the USA) do not live in a Democracy. We live in a Constitutional Republic. I know, I know... some people cringe when someone points this out, but it's t

Not GP, but for me it really seemed to affect my sleep quality in addition to keeping me up later. I started by taking 100mg at 8AM and another 100mg at 12PM. Any later and I'd still be awake at 2AM. The lethargy and brain fog went awa

In recent years I'm too busy to focus on watching something new, so usually I'll put on something I've already seen a hundred times for background "watching". Currently rewatching Silicon Valley, before that was Sav

My girlfriend was 10 seconds into explaining Wordle to me before I asked "so it's the same as Mastermind but letters instead of colors". She had never heard of Mastermind before.

Anyone else remember Excite Chat[1] from the late 1990s? Same idea, except chat rooms instead of "comments". [1]: https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/2ruqbg

I'm an hour-ish from Madison. My guess would be that it has got a good nightlife scene for its size, a public research university, lots of healthcare jobs, relatively low crime, Midwest-nice neighbors, not far from Chicago/Minneap

I believe that's what the GP is saying. Perhaps I'm wrong, but your tone seems to indicate that you think doing doing so is completely preposterous. And while you're allowed to feel that way, instead of dismissing the GP enti

I use Teams in the browser to take calls as a guest with clients who use Teams. I've never had an issue.

Agreed, but worth noting that "plausible" is subjective. WTC 1 & 2 collapsing after being hit by jets may be plausible. WTC 7 collapsing after simply being in the area of the other towers... much less plausible.

It's a miracle that the human race has survived this long, and COVID is clearly not driving us to extinction.

I've got a home gym. Specifically: a barbell "power rack", 400+ lbs in plates, 3-35 lbs dumbbell pairs. I managed to score the bulk of my equipment on Craigslist 7-8 years ago when I started lifting. My workouts went complete

I'll save you the read: "we don't know and we need more data". My anecdotal data: I have a triple-vaccinated friend who tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday. They explicitly said they don't plan on getting additio

It's not unprecedented. I worked at Best Buy when I was in high school and college (2005-2009). They offered 401K to part-time employees. When my mom found out they offered that (with matching) she basically told me I'd be a fool

I presume they'd be injected by the browser, but it also seems trivial for Google to display your bookmarks in search results if you sync them with your Google account.

Anecdotal, but I had a job offer for a software engineering position with McKesson back in 2010 and they told me I would have to pass a drug test in order to obtain the position. I was a marijuana user at the time, so I took a competing off

I've had this problem on Mac. In my case a pair of AirPods sounded really muddy and low quality. macOS was setting them up as the output AND input audio device. The two-way Bluetooth communication eats more bandwidth, hence the lower q

But what information was accessible to them to change their mind? They wouldn't have seen headlines like this unless their local newspaper chose to run the article. They wouldn't have been able to go searching for this information

Even if they did, it'd be trivial for a developer to exclude the ads, and why wouldn't they? Obviously Reddit could try and enforce that via ToS, but even then they'd have to track offenders down and threaten them with revoca
