Exactly. It's not a way to relax, it's more like spinning your wheels in place and having the engine overheat from all the wheel spinning. You just feel worse and worse the longer you stay in that state.

I don't know about Facebook, but Google/Youtube sticks out as the only place where I effectively have to Accept All every time. Most cookie dialogs take only two clicks to reject nonessentials! You click something like "Custo

This behavior is typical for news sites, but in fact the majority of blogs don't truncate their feed items.

Not to mention, you can actually file an issue on the blog owner's github (if present), making a ruckus about the feed quality. I did it once and he was happy to patch it - after familiarizing himself with what a feed even was, as he d

Using the adjective "dullness" is unimaginable to me. All the vegs I've ever fried were delicious. No spices, all I need is butter and salt. How are you folks preparing those vegs?

What reference library is easy to share with external clients then? Also, what do you mean by "external clients"?

They don't give money, but they do get you a taxi if you missed your train change. Alternatively, a night at a nearby hotel and a new trip the next morning.

I'm sorry, it sounded like you were averse to studying happiness because it would remove the ups and downs. I don't know what you wanted to say if not that.

This looks similar to how I believe Nomie logs data behind the scenes. But it looks for keywords on the line and transforms them into data e.g. "Today I #walked(4)" gets coded in JSON as { walked: 4}. https://github.com

Counting in my head works too. When I aim to finish after 120 seconds (2 minutes) I'll wind up taking 300 seconds (5 minutes), but that's better than taking three times that long.

Their point is that actually no, it's not similar. I won't call pooping an integral part of life.

I bookmark every site I might possibly want to revisit - make a habit of Ctrl+D. They're totally unsorted, but the key is to wipe the regular history on exit, leaving only the bookmarks as source material for completion. That way I can

But why do you need to sell stuff to anyone, once everyone else has shit economy? You can lie back and relax at that point, you're still top of the heap.

Exactly! It's possible you and I have ADHD, but it's worth giving out this tip. Watching at a sped up rate lets you filter out the crap and find the "real" content. In a simple world you'd just slow it back down to

I don't see how the culinary definition of fish is related to cladistics. Even if they were, I don't see what you dispute, because they agree on this point; if "vegetarian" means "avoid meat" and "meat&quo

I think you're living in a bubble in this regard. It seems odd to me to worry about this, and in fact odd that visitors would both notice the absence of a TV and comment on it. Data point: We don't have a TV in my student house, a
