I'm the same except with guitar. I always keep a guitar next to my desk, and when I start getting frustrated or stuck with work I'll noodle around for 20 minutes. Usually I feel very refreshed after doing this. Working from home h

They're saying the fact that you have made this realisation and are prepared to act on it is a red flag to employers.

I feel markedly worse with anything much less than eight hours' sleep. I find my natural circadian cycle suits waking up very early (04:30) and going to bed very early (20:00). I'm not a productivity bro or anything, I just feel m

I think it's not unreasonable to expect there to be written dialects as well as spoken ones. A comparatively huge amount of a person's communication is written these days, where previously it would have been face-to-face or with a

Do people actually send messages to each other like that? I modified all the precomposed replies on my watch to remove capitals and punctuation. Using capitals and punctuation raises the register of the message for me, and 99% of the time i

I agree, I ride a bicycle so I'm more aware than someone sealed in a car would be, and unless I'm not moving, I only hear loud motorcycles right as they're passing me. The headwind from cycling at 32 km/h is enough to ov

Yes, “rota” would be the commonest word for this idea. Although I did immediately understand “roster” in the article, so maybe that’s also in use. “Rota” is definitely what I would say though

The article suggests this is a single app which offers a single entry point into many disparate systems, which currently flight attendants have to access individually in order to do their jobs.

I watched this review of it a while ago, it seemed pretty cool to be honest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M06S2aBUNDk

It's the same in any western culture, and I assume every other culture that isn't going through food scarcity too. I only watch live TV when the football's on, and when you're not accustomed to it it's really overwh

The rings can be a double-edged sword. I find they do motivate me, but sometimes if it's pissing horizontally with rain outside and I can't get on my bike it makes me feel really guilty even if logically I know a day or two out of

Yes, we saw this over covid lockdowns where the massively reduced number of cars on the road resulted in a dramatic improvement in air quality around cities. If enough individuals start taking the bus or cycling in we can definitely improve

Countries don't do anything, people do. Recently I've been thinking a lot about people in so-called hostile countries, and the conclusion I arrived at is that the vast majority of those people are leading broadly similar lives to

I’m not in the US but that happens all the time in the north of Ireland where I live. I’m convinced that bike lanes here are designed by someone who drove a Transit van down the road once.

I don't know anything about this really but I would have thought it would have been the opposite: emperors who hold power over many disparate cultures would want a polytheistic religion so they can subsume other cultures' gods int

I’m in the UK, my cards still have the stripes but in my entire life (I’m 27) I’ve never used it. I don’t even think the card payment terminals we have here have the reader for the stripe anymore.

To me there is a massive difference between “mattering” and “having worth”. I don’t believe anything matters, but I do believe there are things that are worth doing and there are ways of behaving that are worth following. I’m not a philosop

Interestingly the iOS keyboard does this, it makes the touchzones for letters you're more likely to type larger.

Yeah that's fair enough I suppose. I guess it's just another way in which capitalism abstracts what is really a relationship between people into a relationship between bits of capital.

I don't know about other people but I go through my life trying to make things easier for other people, or failing that at least not make things harder, in the hope that someone else will do the same for me.

I moved job a couple of months ago. Even though I WFH in general I live very close to the office, so I’ve been going in for half a day per week to have coffee and lunch with my team, then I head home in the early afternoon. I probably get h

Very happy to see a comment like this because I feel exactly the same. Luckily I much prefer being on my own in pretty much every situation.

Is it an adjective? It's the same kind of thing as "golf ball", which to me is a compound noun.

Why are zippers a no-go? I have a small dog I put a raincoat on when it's raining and it zips up.
